  • Following 60,000 Q1 tech layoffs, the labour market can no longer price roles where AI makes production cost approach zero — output volume is no longer a differentiator.
  • Comprehension depth — the ability to understand, explain, and take accountability for AI-generated work — becomes the primary differentiator for human workers.
  • Working transparently (showing reasoning, creating comprehension artifacts) signals irreplaceable value in an environment where portfolios of AI-generated output are indistinguishable.
  • Practical takeaway: shift from accumulating deliverables to producing understanding artifacts; the market will pay for comprehension that AI cannot substitute.
