[cron:2b05c350-dbfd-4f34-af01-133b602ee818 Magoo News Pulse] **Magoo News Pulse — CRITICAL: WRITE URLs TO MEMORY**

## STEP 1: READ MEMORY
Read `memory/2026-02-13.md` and extract ALL source URLs already reported today.

## STEP 2: SEARCH (find 15+ candidates)
Search across categories:
- GitHub/Tech (SearXNG + `day`)
- AI Industry (web_search freshness="pd")
- Global Politics (SearXNG + `day`)
- Markets (SearXNG + `day`)
- Science (SearXNG + `day`)

## STEP 3: FILTER STRICTLY
- Remove ANY URL already in memory from today
- Remove ANY story about: Anthropic $30B funding, GitHub Agentic Workflows, Anthropic researcher quitting, DeepCode, DHS shutdown, NASA Crew-12 — these have been reported multiple times already
- Keep only genuinely new stories from last 20 min

## STEP 4: COMPILE BRIEFING
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], Friday Feb 13, 2026

🛠 **TECH/GITHUB:** (2-3 NEW items)
🤖 **AI:** (3-4 NEW items)
🌍 **GLOBAL:** (2-3 NEW items)
💰 **MARKETS:** (1-2 NEW items)
🔬 **SCIENCE:** (1-2 NEW items)

**Requirement: 10-12 items, ALL must be new (not in memory).**

## STEP 5: WRITE TO MEMORY (CRITICAL)
After delivering briefing, APPEND to `memory/2026-02-13.md`:

```
## News Pulse URLs — [timestamp]
- [URL 1]
- [URL 2]
- [URL 3]
... (all URLs from this briefing)
```

This prevents duplicates in future pulses.

If <5 new items found, report "Only [X] new items today" and STOP.
Current time: Friday, February 13th, 2026 — 9:20 PM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user wants me to run a news pulse check. Let me break down the task:

1. Read memory/2026-02-13.md to get already reported URLs
2. Search for new stories across multiple categories
3. Filter out duplicates and already-reported stories
4. Compile a briefing with 10-12 new items
5. Write the new URLs to memory

Let me start by reading the memory file and then searching across categories.

# 2026-02-13 Memory Log

## Session Summary (03:20-04:05 UTC)

### User
- **Skinny** (@skinnyc813, 6558388607) - runs multiple OpenClaw agents

### Major Task: Autonomous Overnight Workflow Setup

Set up all 7 OpenClaw agents to follow an autonomous work procedure:

**The Pattern:**
1. **SOUL.md** - Contains Build → Test → Log → Decide loop
2. **TODO.md** - Task list (drop tasks here before bed)
3. **PROGRESS-LOG.md** - Work journal (read in morning)
4. **Cron jobs** - Safety net at 2am, 4am, 6am UTC

**Agents Configured:**
| Agent | Workspace | Telegram Account |
|-------|-----------|------------------|
| main | workspace | fred |
| magoo | workspace-magoo | magoo |
| mark-twain | workspace-mark-twain | twain |
| clinker | workspace-clinker | clinker |
| ash-permits | workspace-ash-permits | carl |
| cannadeals-marketing | workspace-cannadeals-marketing | canna |
| ghc-marketing | workspace-ghc-marketing | maya |

**What I Did:**
- ✅ Updated SOUL.md on all 7 workspaces with autonomous work loop
- ✅ Created TODO.md and PROGRESS-LOG.md for all 7 workspaces
- ✅ Created 21 cron jobs (3 per agent at 2/4/6am UTC)
- ✅ Preserved all existing cron jobs (ghc deal posting, canna engagement, etc.)
- ✅ Updated USER.md with Skinny's info
- ✅ Deleted BOOTSTRAP.md

**Existing Cron Jobs (preserved):**
- ghc-marketing: Deal Post every 30min, 3 blog posts daily, X engagement
- cannadeals-marketing: ~20 jobs (morning posts, engagement rounds, random checks)

### Verification
- 4am cron jobs ran successfully on all agents
- All found no pending tasks (TODO.md empty) - expected for fresh setup

### Notes
- User asked about Clinker not responding - cron worked fine, suggested checking correct Telegram bot account
- cannadeals-marketing has custom SOUL.md sections preserved (server info, social media rules)

## How to Use the System

1. Before bed: Drop a task in any agent's `TODO.md`
2. Agent breaks it down, works through night
3. Gets nudged every 2 hours if stalled (cron safety net)
4. Morning: Check `PROGRESS-LOG.md` to see what happened

You have written two long, very interesting essays about the promise and the peril of artificial intelligence. And we’re going to talk about the perils in this conversation, but I thought it would be good to start with the promise and with the optimistic vision — indeed, I would say the utopian vision — that you laid out a couple of years ago in an essay entitled, “Machines of Loving Grace.” We’ll come back to that title at the end. But, I think a lot of people encounter A.I. news through headlines predicting a blood bath for white-collar jobs, these kinds of things.

The message from investors to the software, wealth management, legal services and logistics industries this month has been clear: AI is coming for your business.
The release of new, [ever more powerful AI tools](https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/feb/13/trucking-logistics-shares-ai-freight-tool-launch-semicab-algorhythm) has coincided with a stock market slide, which has swept up sectors as diverse as drug distribution, commercial property and price comparison sites. Advances in the technology are giving increasing credulity to predictions that it could render millions of white-collar jobs obsolete – or, at least, eat into the profits of established companies.
Carl Benedikt Frey, the author of How Progress Ends and an associate professor of AI and work at the University of Oxford, says investors are reassessing the value of companies that rely heavily on selling software or specialist knowledge.
“AI turns once-scarce expertise into output that’s cheaper, faster, and increasingly comparable, which compresses margins long before whole jobs disappear.”
Fears over widespread job losses were [amplified this week by a viral essay](https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/2021256989876109403), penned by AI entrepreneur Matt Shumer, titled: Something big is happening. In it, Shumer purports to explain to the world outside Silicon Valley that new models will come for coding jobs and then “everything else”, comparing the present moment with the February just before the Covid pandemic.
The post was viewed 80m times on X, triggering fear and fury – including from people pointing out that Shumer has a history of AI hype. (He previously excited the internet by [announcing](https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/1831767014341538166) the release of the world’s “top open-source model”, which it was [not](https://venturebeat.com/ai/new-open-source-ai-leader-reflection-70bs-performance-questioned-accused-of-fraud).)
Shumer and the markets were reacting to the capabilities of recently released models such as Anthropic’s Claude Opus 4.6 and OpenAI’s GPT-5.3-Codex, both improvements on previous, powerful AI products.
But there are other reasons for the febrility of the moment, not least the companies that are building these models. AI “hyperscalers” – the term for the big US tech players in the field – collectively plan to spend $660bn (£484bn) this year. This follows a year of colossal, often circular deals between the world’s biggest tech companies.
However, cracks have appeared in these numbers, as well as questions about what they actually mean. Nvidia and OpenAI recently appeared to drop a $100bn deal, replacing it with an as yet unknown, smaller commitment.
Meanwhile, none of the AI model-builders – not OpenAI, xAI or Anthropic – have a clear path to the enormous revenue that would justify this spend; the revenue from the entire global software sector this year is projected to be just $780bn.
It has appeared this week that both arguments about AI – that it is an unsustainable boom or heralds a destructive revolution in white-collar work – have been entertained by some investors, after shares in Google’s parent company, Alphabet, and Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta were affected by apparent concerns about a spending bubble.
Bluntly, investors expect these companies to recoup their investment via hordes of individuals and businesses paying for their tools, because they allow certain tasks and jobs to be carried out by fewer people or over fewer hours. Or in economic jargon, a productivity boom.
“The two themes are inherently linked but not necessarily contradictory,” says Jason Borbora-Sheen, a portfolio manager at investment management firm Ninety One.
At first, investors backed expenditure by the “hyperscalers” in the initial phase of the AI gold rush. Those concerns have now flipped to cash burn and the sheer scale of investment needed to stay competitive, says Borbora-Sheen, while at the same time the share prices of wealth managers and others have been affected by the perception that AI is “now here, will evolve and can displace”.
Companies have cited AI as an influence on job-cutting plans, including British American Tobacco this week, but there has not been a wave of wholesale disruption yet. Greg Thwaites, a research director at the UK thinktank the Resolution Foundation and an associate professor at the University of Nottingham, says evidence of a tangible AI jobs impact on large western economies is “quite ambiguous so far”.
Not all white-collar work will be affected, he says, although AI might test axioms around the age-old capitalist concept of “creative destruction”, which involves entirely new jobs replacing outdated ones, such as car mechanics replacing farriers. Will AI be a different case because the change has come so fast or because it will be good at absolutely everything?
He adds: “There are some jobs that are going to look very different quite quickly. But the idea that there are going to be bands of unemployed lawyers and accountants roaming around London within a few years seems like a stretch to me.”
Alvin Nguyen, an analyst at Forrester, says the fears that shook the stock market are based on sentiment and not evidence: no one has had time to evaluate the performance of an Opus 4.6-powered wealth manager.
“It’s a kneejerk reaction,” he said. “How true is it? Look, there’s plenty of leaders out there who thought, I can replace people with AI at the beginning. And a lot of people acted on that. And I think one of the things that’s being found out is that for a lot of cases, no, it hasn’t panned out.”
Aaron Rosenberg, a partner at venture capital firm Radical Ventures, – whose investments include leading AI firm Cohere – and former head of strategy and operations at Google’s AI unit DeepMind, says the impact of AI is being underestimated in the long term but adoption of groundbreaking models will not be uniform.
“History shows a repeated pattern of there being a significant lag between a technology working in a lab and it permeating the wider economy, as well as a chasm between early adopters and the majority of users,” he says.
More new models will come; other huge AI deals could wobble as well. Meanwhile, this month there were low-level rumblings of discontent from high-profile tech workers; a slew of departures from AI companies for reasons as various as [boredom](https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/elon-musk/xai-musk-addresses-wave-departures-xai-founder-rcna258651), AI doomerism and concerns over the prospect of adult content in ChatGPT.
There is a nervous, unfocused energy afoot. As Borbora-Sheen says: “There is a strong winners versus losers dynamic.”

California-based Jacqueline Bowman had been dead set on becoming a writer since she was a child. At 14 she got her first internship at her local newspaper, and later she studied journalism at university. Though she hadn’t been able to make a full-time living from her favourite pastime – fiction writing – post-university, she consistently got writing work (mostly content marketing, some journalism) and went freelance full-time when she was 26. Sure, content marketing wasn’t exactly the dream, but she was writing every day, and it was paying the bills – she was happy enough.
“But something really switched in 2024,” Bowman, now 30, says. Layoffs and publication closures meant that much of her work “kind of dried up. I started to get clients coming to me and talking about AI,” she says – some even brazen enough to tell her how “great” it was “that we don’t need writers any more”. She was offered work as an editor – checking and altering work produced by artificial intelligence. The idea was that polishing up already-written content would take less time than writing it from scratch, so Bowman’s fee was reduced to about half of what it had been when she was writing for the same content marketing agency – but, in reality, it ended up taking double the time.
“I now had to meticulously fact-check every single thing in the articles. And at least 60% of it would be completely made up,” she says. “I would just end up rewriting most of the article. So something that would take me two hours when I was writing it by myself now took me four hours, making half the money.”
To add insult to injury, Bowman’s few remaining clients have sometimes accused her of using AI to create her work. “I never use AI to write anything,” she says, but she has noticed that AI-produced copy can sometimes seem eerily similar to her own writing – which she suspects is due to large language models being trained on some of her previous work. She can’t afford to take any of the Silicon Valley giants to court – though she is grateful for the authors, like [George Saunders and Ta-Nehisi Coates](https://www.theguardian.com/books/2025/apr/04/us-authors-copyright-lawsuits-against-openai-and-microsoft-combined-in-new-york-with-newspaper-actions), who have done so.
By January 2025, Bowman was no longer able to afford her own health insurance, which hammered home what she had already begun to suspect: “Writing is not going to work out for me any more.” She decided to bring her wedding forward (she and her partner are still going ahead with their planned celebration in March, but last year obtained a marriage certificate from their local courthouse) so she would be eligible to join her husband’s health insurance plan. But she knew a more drastic change would be needed before long.
She remembered a psychology elective she had enjoyed in college, and wondered if she might be able to make a more secure living by becoming a therapist. “It’s not AI-proof” – Bowman admits that some people will be happy to use [AI-powered therapy services](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/mar/02/can-ai-chatbot-therapists-do-better-than-the-real-thing), which already exist. “But there’s another subsection of people who are going to say: ‘Hey, AI took my job, AI ruined my life. I’m not going to go to an AI therapist,’” she says. “So in that way, I do think that there’s still going to be an audience who wants a human therapist.”
Bowman decided to take action and retrain, “while I still do have a little bit of work”, and is now back at university studying to become a marriage and family therapist. She counts herself “incredibly lucky” because she is able to rely on her husband, and on any writing work she can still get, to make ends meet – but has still had to take out loans. She’s enjoying the course, and is “glad she has the opportunity to do it”, but it is not something she would have considered if her writing work hadn’t become untenable.

Janet Feenstra, in her previous job as an editor in Stockholm. Photograph: Courtesy of Janet FeenstraJanet Feenstra, an academic editor turned baker based in Malmö, Sweden, also has mixed feelings about her career change, a choice she similarly made because of fears that AI would make her old job void. “It’s complicated because, in a way, I maybe should be grateful to AI for prompting this change,” she says. Feenstra now works at “a really cute bakery”, where she and her colleagues “roll out the dough by hand and it feels amazing”.
“We listen to music and we dance and sing whenever we want,” she adds. “I have a lot more fun now, but I don’t want to be grateful to AI for this – I’m still a little bit bitter.” It felt like a forced career change, rather than one she was choosing on her own terms, she explains – not to mention the fact that she now gets paid less, travels farther to work and does a much more tiring job.
Since 2013, the 52-year-old, who is originally from the US, had been working as a freelance editor alongside a part-time job at Malmö University doing what is called “language editing”: tidying up texts written by researchers whose first language isn’t English.
“The standard of English here in Sweden is very, very high, so this was very specialised academic editing,” she says. “The international journals are very picky, so it required a certain expertise that we could offer.” However, in recent years, she began to hear people within the university talking about wanting to use AI. “It was scary. I felt like the writing was on the wall a bit,” Feenstra says. She began to realise that if a manuscript “is already quite good”, then an AI system prompted to meet academic journal requirements might be able to do the work she had been doing.

‘Rolling out the dough by hand feels amazing’ … Janet Feenstra in her new job as a baker. Photograph: Courtesy of Janet Feenstra“I didn’t want to wait until it was too late,” she says. “I felt scared … I’m divorced, I have two children to look after and I need financial security.” So she decided to retrain in something she “was fairly sure that AI would not replace anytime soon”, and enrolled in culinary school.
It wasn’t an easy transition. “I had to move out because I wasn’t able to afford my rent any more,” she says, which meant that her sons, who had previously lived between their parents’ two homes, had to live full-time with their father. While Feenstra embarked on her year-long training, she moved in with her partner, whose flat was too small to house her sons as well. Now, having worked in the bakery for five months, she has recently signed a contract on a new flat, which will have room for her sons. “I’ve had to work really hard: I’ve had to retrain, I’ve had to accept lower pay and conditions that are physically challenging,” Feenstra says. But securing the flat “is really exciting because it’s a goal realised”.
Feenstra says it has been “an interesting journey” to go from a job typically associated with middle-class people to one seen as working-class. “White-collar work isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, I’ve realised,” she says. “But it requires an adjustment. We’re so defined by our jobs and our class.”
Perhaps those definitions of what counts as a “good” or “middle class” job will begin to change: a 2023 report on the [impact of AI on jobs and training](https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/656856b8cc1ec500138eef49/Gov.UK_Impact_of_AI_on_UK_Jobs_and_Training.pdf) in the UK by the Department for Education concluded that: “Professional occupations are more exposed to AI, particularly those associated with more clerical work and across finance, law and business management roles.” And, rightly or wrongly, Feenstra is not alone in deciding that learning a trade is a relatively safe bet.
Angela Joyce, the CEO of Capital City College, a further education provider in London, says: “We’re seeing a steady growth in students of all ages coming to us to do trades-based qualifications,” in subjects such as engineering, culinary arts and childcare. There is “definitely a shift” away from traditional academic routes, she says, which she attributes to the high numbers of unemployed young people – and “a good proportion of those are graduates”, she notes. That shift towards seeking vocational training is “in part linked to AI”, Joyce thinks, because people are looking for “jobs that AI can’t replace”.

 Composite: Rui Pu/The Guardian; Getty ImagesThat was certainly the case for Richard, a Northampton-based chartered occupational health and safety professional. After working his way up the career ladder for 15 years, the 39-year-old decided to jump ship and retrain as an electrical engineer.
“Health and safety isn’t going to disappear any time soon because organisations can’t name AI as a responsible person or a duty holder for businesses legally,” he says. But a few years ago, he started to hear “mumblings of AI” within the industry, and saw organisations start to experiment with automating certain systems and procedures. He watched as AI began to be used for writing policies and safe systems of work, and realised that if a large portion of practitioners’ workload could be done by AI, then there might only be a need for “highly specialised managers. The rest of it’s probably going to go.”
Though he decided to “pre-empt that” and pursue a different path, his main worry about AI taking over health and safety roles wasn’t actually that people like him would lose jobs – he finds aspects of AI “exciting” and accepts that it will inevitably shake up the way we work. His primary concern was that the implementation of AI might be “more of a cost-cutting exercise than it is about safety”. Richard cares deeply about the health and safety industry, which he entered after his friend was killed in a gas explosion at work.

Richard, who retrained as an electrical engineer after 15 years in occupational health and safety. Photograph: HandoutHe has taken “a huge cut” financially since he has been working as an electrical engineer over the past year, but his new job does at least still have keeping people safe at its core. And there is the potential to make the kind of money he earned in his old job once he has more experience under his belt, he says, but “I’m a good five, 10 years off”. And that’s if automation hasn’t come for electrical work by then – Richard mentions [BMW’s testing of a humanoid robot](https://www.bmwgroup.com/en/news/general/2024/humanoid-robots.html) as an example of how AI could affect trade jobs. Currently, though, the trades, in the UK at least, are “the most resilient to the levels of automation that AI is bringing in”, Richard believes. “Companies are capitalising on AI to remove one of their biggest costs, which is human overheads,” he says. “You need to pick something which has resilience. So, statistically, that is not your roles that are bureaucratic by nature, heavy in data and are just a bunch of processes which you repeat end on end. It needs to be something with high dexterity and some high problem-solving skills.”
Carl Benedikt Frey, an associate professor of AI and work at the Oxford Internet Institute, agrees that manual work “is going to be harder to automate”, but predicts that AI will have an impact “across a very wide range of industries” – trades included. “If the dishwasher breaks down in my home, I can take a picture and I can quiz the large language model of my choice, and I’m more likely to be able to fix it myself these days without calling an engineer,” he says. That’s not to say tradespeople are “doomed” – he cautions against making too many decisions based on “some hypothetical future scenario … We have to go by what’s actually happening in the labour market.” Which, now, is not a lot. “We’re beginning to see some studies suggesting more of an impact on entry-level work,” Frey says, but a reduction in entry-level job opportunities could also be attributed to higher interest rates, or post-pandemic recovery, he says.
“As AI gets better, and its capabilities improve, I think it’s likely that we will see it on a bigger slice of the labour market. But we’re not seeing it yet.” In fact, Frey has now reassessed his earlier claim that 47% of roles were at risk of being replaced by computerisation, made in [The Future of Employment](https://oms-www.files.svdcdn.com/production/downloads/academic/future-of-employment.pdf), the 2013 paper he co-authored with Prof Michael Osborne. “In that study, a lot of the jobs that we deem are highly exposed to automation are jobs in transportation and logistics because of autonomous vehicles,” he says. “It’s fair to say that it’s taken much longer for that technology to materialise.” As [self-driving cars](https://www.theguardian.com/news/ng-interactive/2025/oct/18/driverless-cars-uk-autonomy-waymo-london) do begin to hit our streets, “we will see a lot of jobs being replaced in trucking and even in taxi services”, Frey believes. But his message seems to be don’t panic – at least not yet. “It might be a good idea if you are, say, in the early days of your professional career, to take the time that you still have to invest in training and figuring out other more viable career paths,” particularly if you work as a translator – one profession where “we’re already seeing that AI is having an impact, although we’re not seeing mass displacement by any means”. But if you are reaching the end of your working life, “you can probably ride the wave for a few more years”, he says.
The most significant AI-caused declines in employment and wages will be in jobs like software engineering and management consultancy, according to a [King’s College London study](https://www.kcl.ac.uk/news/new-study-reveals-early-impact-of-ai-on-job-market-in-uk) published in October 2025. “That doesn’t necessarily mean that there aren’t going to be new jobs that will be created,” Dr Bouke Klein Teeselink, who authored that study, notes. Historically, whenever there have been technological advances people have worried about mass unemployment, but it hasn’t happened, he says. “So there’s a part of me that is a little bit sceptical that all the jobs will disappear, but at the same time there is a reason to think that this technology might be different, in the sense that humans always maintained some type of absolute advantage over technology in certain domains. And that may no longer be true.”
For now, while we can’t yet know the full impact AI will have on workers, “becoming really good at working with AI is probably going to be a skill that will pay off”, Klein advises. Which is what the Birmingham-based entrepreneurs Fayyaz Garda and Arun Singh Aujla, both 25, are attempting to do. Garda, who works in procurement, and Singh Aujla, who runs a social media marketing business, are in the process of setting up an AI consulting business, educating themselves about AI via YouTube. “It’s a growing market, and there’s definitely a space for it. So I’m hoping to try and get in there early,” Garda says. The plan is to employ a number of engineers to create AI systems that will answer phone calls, respond to mail and fulfil other tasks businesses need doing, he explains.
“The AI consulting business is one way I’m upskilling to move with the times,” Singh Aujla adds. “AI won’t replace me, but it may take a large market share out of my business. So it’s always good to make an extra stream of revenue.” There are certain roles Singh Aujla would never replace with AI, though: “I would not replace my management team. You need that human interaction with your team,” he says. “But roles the team don’t want to do, like email outreach and cold calling, we can get AI agents to do that.”
For some, it may well prove true that AI improves their work life by removing tasks they find tedious or difficult, giving them more time to focus on the more fulfilling aspects of their job. For others, though, it is the reason they have given up on their dream career. Paola Adeitan, 31, had her heart set on being a solicitor, and obtained an undergraduate degree and a master’s in law. She had planned to do the legal practice course, the final stage of training needed to qualify as a solicitor, “but I decided not to pursue that path because I felt like, with the change in technology, the AI, that might not be a viable path for me to carry on with,” she says. Friends of hers had struggled to get entry-level law roles, which she believed to be partly due to the increased use of AI at law firms.
Adeitan still volunteers as a legal adviser, but her day job is in the health sector – although even that role could be affected by AI, she thinks, so she is remaining open to the idea that she might end up retraining again. “I do feel a sense of disappointment,” she says, “but the nature of work is changing. It’s very difficult now to decide what you want to do; you have to think carefully. It’s not about what you want any more; it’s about what is going to be there, what’s going to work.”
If you’re lucky, what ends up working best could be something you really enjoy – as is the case for Faz, 23, who took a break from his geography degree at the University of Manchester in 2023 because of a family matter. Afterwards, it didn’t make sense to him to return to his degree. “I had to think about what was future-proof, I had to think about what was AI-proof. And it seemed like a lot of entry-level roles in the corporate sector were being taken over by AI. And because AI is so unpredictable, you never know if those more specialised roles will also become obsolete,” he says. So he has instead been training for a Level 2 qualification in electrical installation since September 2025. “I thoroughly enjoy it,” he says. Though he might go back to university at some point – his “ideal setup” would be a combination of working part-time for a council or a charity, while doing electrical work on the side – “right now, a tradie job is 100%, God willing, the correct choice. I’m fairly certain it will be future-proofed against AI.”

 Composite: Rui Pu/The Guardian; Getty ImagesBethan, 24, from Bristol, also enjoys her AI-proof job, working in a local cafe. But it comes at a cost: she has hypermobility spectrum disorder, which gives her severe joint pain and makes it hard for her to move around. “I can’t work long hours now because I’ve pushed my body past the point,” she says.
Bethan’s old job, at a university IT helpdesk, “was the first job that I didn’t come home in pain from”, she says. But only a couple of months after she was hired, she and her colleagues were told the helpdesk was being closed down and replaced with an AI kiosk. “It was awful,” she says. The helpdesk staff tried to defend their roles, arguing that for students who didn’t speak English as a first language, or older students who weren’t computer-literate, having humans behind the desk may still be necessary. “It felt like we were getting completely ignored. They went ahead with it because they said they had to get a certain number of cuts to the budget.”
Hospitality was the only other sector in which she had experience, so she ended up at her cafe job. “Feeling like I had to go back to hospitality, which was so bad for my body, was a horrible feeling,” she says. She is now on the lookout for an office job, but has struggled to find anything entry-level. “Those are the jobs that are vanishing because they’re the easiest to replace,” she says – but it also means it is impossible to get the experience needed for higher-up roles. Bethan worries that even if she does get an office job, she could lose it to AI again. “Is it worth all the effort of applying, getting my CV up to date, and potentially doing a couple of rounds of interviews just to find out at the end we’re going to be replaced again?”
With more physically demanding jobs making up the bulk of what is now considered “AI-proof”, those who have made the switch from white-collar roles are having to adapt to the toll it takes on their bodies. The electricians Richard works with are typically in their late teens and early 20s. “Their recovery rates are a hell of a lot quicker than mine. So if I pick up an injury, for example, it takes me far longer to recuperate. Also, they can work far longer hours than I can,” he says.
And though Feenstra enjoys the physicality of working in a bakery, she has been thinking about how sustainable this kind of job will be as she gets older. “That’s why I’ve been taking note of how the owners run the business,” she says, in case there is a possibility of running her own bakery one day. She is proud of how she is continuing to adapt to the changing world around her: “I want my sons to feel a little bit inspired by that,” she says. Yet she doesn’t feel she can offer them career advice. “How am I supposed to advise them when I don’t even really know if what I’m doing is the right path?” she says. “It’s really unsettling when you can’t advise them. If they have a passion for something and they want to do something, immediately you think, OK, is this even going to exist in the next 10, 20 years? That just kind of sucks.”
Ballerinas will still exist, says Klein. “No one is going to go to the ballet to see a robot do really good ballet,” the academic says. “Same for theatre, same for football, same for many other things where it matters that there’s a human.” He doesn’t think people will be wanting to confess to robo-priests any time soon either, or leave children in the care of AI. “There are just categories where we prefer to interact with humans, right?” For that reason, social skills will remain important, Klein and Frey agree. And though it might seem as if AI could make expert knowledge useless, Klein disagrees. “I have students who use AI naively, and therefore they have no idea whether the reports they produce are good or bad,” he says. “You need to have that expertise to be able to guide the AI to get it to do what you need it to do. So in that sense, I think the value of expertise might actually go up.”
How such expertise will be developed, if entry-level jobs are being ditched in favour of AI systems, is a question that remains as yet unanswered, as is who will actually be able to buy a ticket to the ballet should large swathes of the population be put out of work. But Frey doesn’t think it is worth spending too much time worrying about that potential future – yet. “It could well arrive, but it matters a great deal if that happens in five years or 20.” While he acknowledges “there are reasons to be concerned”, Frey doesn’t think it’s time to “paint a scenario where everybody’s going to be out of work five years from now, and we need to rethink everything”.

[Elon Musk’s](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/elon-musk) longtime fixation on a white racial majority is intensifying. The richest man in the world posted about how the white race was under threat, made allusions to race science or promoted anti-immigrant conspiracy content on 26 out of 31 days in January, according to the Guardian’s analysis of his social media output. The posts, made on his platform X, reflect a renewed embrace of what extremism experts describe as white supremacist material.
“Whites are a rapidly dying minority,” Musk said on 22 January, a short time before taking the stage at the World Economic Forum in Davos, while reposting an Irish anti-immigrant influencer’s video about demographic change.
Musk’s posts included him repeatedly claiming white people face systemic discrimination, endorsing the conspiracy that there is an ongoing genocide against white people in countries around the world and promoting a claim that white people would be “slaughtered” by non-whites if they become a demographic minority.
“If you stripped Elon Musk’s name off of these things and showed them to me, I would think that this was a white supremacist,” said Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Extremism, who reviewed a selection of the posts.
Musk has for years promoted anti-immigrant and far-right content in his posts, as well as [endorsed rightwing activists](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/nov/08/elon-musk-global-far-right) and [political parties](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/24/elon-musk-congratulates-afd-alice-weidel-germany-election) around the globe. The Tesla CEO’s most recent output displays a more consistent and explicit engagement with white supremacist content and nativist activists than in the past, however, lending them the imprimatur of the world’s richest person and spreading their ideas to his audience of over 200 million followers. Beirich said he appeared “deep into the world of white nationalism”.
“The White ‘liberal’ standard for behavior is extremely strict, but is only applied to Whites,” Musk said on 26 January, commenting on a post that claimed there was discrimination against white conservatives.
Musk’s posts repeatedly echoed prominent white supremacist narratives and ideologies, said William Braniff, the former director of the Department of Homeland Security’s office for prevention of terrorism and extremism. Several of Musk’s posts included what Braniff described as “textbook examples” of white supremacist conspiracy theories such as “the great replacement” – a belief that liberal elites or Jewish people are conspiring to use immigration to replace white populations.
The danger of Musk’s obsession lies in mainstreaming ideas that are deeply tied to violence and discrimination, according to Braniff, who is now executive director of the Polarization and Extremism Research and Innovation Lab (Peril) at American University. “The great replacement has been an especially important mobilizing narrative for highly lethal white supremacist attacks in the United States and elsewhere,” he said.
Musk has repeatedly denied he is racist or antisemitic, stated that he condemns terrorism and said he does not advocate for violence. He asserted in a 2024 interview with Don Lemon that he does not subscribe to “great replacement theory”. He also told Joe Rogan in March last year that he is not a Nazi, weeks after facing condemnations from Jewish groups and the chairman of the World Holocaust Remembrance Center in Israel over his speech to Germany’s far-right AfD party in which [he told Germans](https://www.theguardian.com/technology/video/2025/jan/26/germany-too-focused-on-past-guilt-elon-musk-tells-afd-event-video) to move beyond their “past guilt”.

## Musk offers a platform for the far-right
Although Musk wrote a number of posts on race and immigration himself last month, much of his output involved reposting far-right activist accounts or replying to them with brief endorsements such as a bullseye emoji, implying agreement. On 10 January, Musk replied “yes” in reply to a post from a white nationalist account that claimed “race communism that destroyed Rhodesia and South Africa are the same things they are bringing to America and the rest of the Occident to turn us into the Global Favela”. The author of the post previously published a blog titled How To Build An American Orania – a reference to the [privately owned, whites-only town](https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2019/oct/24/an-indictment-of-south-africa-whites-only-town-orania-is-booming) of Orania in South Africa.
Similar interactions took place throughout the month. After a far-right influencer posted “they just want to eradicate White people it’s that simple” in reference to the New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration speech, Musk replied on 7 January “some people really do”. On 9 January, he wrote “true” in a quote-tweet of a post that claimed white people would be “slaughtered” as a minority and that “White solidarity is the only way to survive”. On 16 January, Musk reposted a rightwing influencer’s post claiming “white genocide is the official Democrat party platform”. The same day, he promoted another rightwing influencer’s anti-diversity post that used an AI-generated image of tattooed black women on Yale’s rowing team.
While some of the accounts Musk interacted with are fringe social media influencers, several others are prominent far-right activists whose extremist views have been well-documented. On 17 January, Musk reposted a screed against “ethno-cultural upheaval” in Europe from Martin Sellner, far-right Austrian activist, who is the founder of the ethno-nationalist Identitarian Movement. Musk, who [reinstated Sellner’s banned X account in 2024](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/19/far-right-austrian-nationalist-banned-from-germany-after-addressing-neo-nazi-meeting), replied to the anti-immigration post that “this is simply a statement of fact”.
“Martin Sellner is probably the most significant global white supremacist right now,” Beirich said. “He’s the one who pushed the great replacement, and has now pushed the idea of remigration – ethnically cleansing western countries of non-whites.”
Sellner gave [a presentation in 2024 at an event in Germany](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/mar/19/far-right-austrian-nationalist-banned-from-germany-after-addressing-neo-nazi-meeting) on the logistics of carrying out mass deportations that was attended by neo-Nazis and other extremists. The event sparked immense backlash and [protests against the far-right](https://www.nytimes.com/2024/01/27/world/europe/germany-holocaust-memorial-day-protests.html) across the northern European nation. Lawmakers attempted to ban him from the country. The Austrian activist also [received a €1,500 donation from and communicated with white supremacist Brenton Tarrant](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/16/christchurch-shooters-links-to-austrian-far-right-more-extensive-than-thought), who would later go on to commit a terrorist attack in 2019 that killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.

 Sellner rejected being described as a white supremacist and said he respects “the dignity of all others” in a statement to the Guardian, while taking credit for politically mainstreaming the concepts of the great replacement and remigration. “Now, from Trump to Musk, everyone is talking about replacement migration, the ethnic vote and remigration,” Sellner said. He additionally claimed that the Potsdam event was “misrepresented” by media and that he rejected any form of terrorism. Sellner described his interactions with Tarrant, which included [offering to get a drink](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/16/christchurch-shooters-links-to-austrian-far-right-more-extensive-than-thought) [with Tarrant](https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/09/28/martin-sellner-far-right-austria-election/) if he ever visited Austria, as limited to standard thank-you emails to a donor.

Extremism experts said the ideas Musk has publicized are deeply tied to some of the most notorious, violent extremist attacks of the past decade, including the 2018 antisemitic attack on the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh and the 2022 racist mass killing of 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket. The shooter in Buffalo [left a 180-page manifesto](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/may/17/great-replacement-theory-explainer) filled with mentions of white supremacist replacement theory.
Musk’s posts also reflect an increasing embrace of white supremacist figures and talking points among prominent Republicans and government agencies in the past year. Some of that shift has played out on X, where Musk reinstated a number of formerly banned accounts such as prominent antisemite Nick Fuentes. Federal agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security have meanwhile [posted content](https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/us/politics/white-supremacy-trump-administration-social-media.html) that aligns with white supremacist propaganda. Earlier this month, Donald Trump also drew widespread backlash [after posting a racist video](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/07/white-house-blame-trump-racist-video) to his Truth Social platform that depicted Barack and Michelle Obama as apes.
Musk has repeatedly mocked those who have criticized his comments as far-right or racist, framing his views as common sense or simply reiterating facts and statistics. His rhetoric reflects a widespread tactic among people on the far-right, experts say, when extremists attempt to defend their worldview of an in-group of white people against everyone else.
“That reductionist worldview breaks down when people in your in-group say you’re full of it, that what you’re saying is wrong,” Braniff said. “So now the main requirement is to attack the dissenting in-group, to delegitimize them as race traitors and as woke.”
As February began, Musk was still posting about race and immigration on a consistent basis. He replied to an anti-immigrant activist this week who claimed that Ireland’s civilization would end “because Irish men are afraid of being called racist and upsetting people from the 3rd world”.
“Such men are pathetic traitors,” Musk responded.
