Companies "Weigh AI as Alternative to Workers Before Backfilling Roles"

Private employers axed 32,000 jobs in September, with small companies (under 50 employees) bleeding 40,000 workers while bigger firms kept hiring. Job postings dropped 8% to their lowest point since December 2022. Here's the part that matters: companies are now "weighing AI as an alternative to workers before backfilling roles," especially for entry-level positions. At the same time, 80% of executives say they're prioritizing skills over degrees, and half are ramping up freelance hiring to plug AI skills gaps. Translation: the old playbook is dead — traditional jobs are vanishing while demand for AI-fluent workers skyrockets.

Why it matters for you: People are clinging to their current jobs (internal moves jumped 11% year-over-year) because they know entry-level positions aren't coming back. That panic creates your market. Build dead-simple "AI for Your Job" courses showing people how to use ChatGPT to stay relevant — drafting emails, analyzing data, summarizing reports. No fancy credentials needed. You're just teaching practical survival skills before their role gets automated. With 92 million jobs disappearing by 2030 and companies refusing to hire, workers will pay real money to avoid becoming obsolete.

Key Takeaways:

• Entry-level jobs extinct: Companies choosing AI over backfilling positions — workers need fast reskilling now

• Skills beat degrees: 80% of execs ditching degree requirements means traditional education can't keep up

• 92M displaced by 2030: Workforce transformation creating nonstop demand for quick, practical AI training

Google’s Gemini Just Made Photoshop Optional

Google just rolled out Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, a major AI upgrade that turns photo editing into a conversation. Instead of messing with layers or filters, you can now type natural language prompts like “change the car to blue” or “put me on a beach at sunset” — and Gemini will make it happen.

The big deal here is precision. Previous AI editors often botched details or changed the wrong thing. Gemini now handles targeted edits, combines multiple images seamlessly, and even keeps characters consistent across different scenes. Think of it as having a Photoshop pro on call 24/7 — but way faster.

Key Takeaways:

• Edit photos with plain language (“remove the lamp,” “add a bookshelf”).

• Combine images or change backdrops while keeping subjects consistent.

• Add or remove objects realistically without starting from scratch.

My Take:
We’ve officially crossed the line where anyone can do professional-grade photo edits in seconds. Tools like this will put pressure on traditional software like Photoshop — and they’ll make content creation faster, cheaper, and more accessible for everyone.
