How AI Became More Expensive Than The Workers It Replaced
July 2, 2026
AI Now Cost More Than Human Workers
Since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, AI rapidly replaced human labor across industries due to its low cost and high efficiency, driving mass adoption and layoffs. However, widespread enterprise usage, token-based pricing, and practices like “tokenmaxxing” have inflated demand and costs.
Supply constraints in data centers and rising compute prices have further increased token costs, more than doubling since 2025. Companies like Meta and Microsoft have reported massive usage and budget strain.
As AI expenses approach or exceed labor costs in some roles, enterprises are increasingly questioning return on investment and the long-term economic viability of large-scale AI deployment.

The AI Job Boom Is Just Getting Started
The AI job apocalypse is turning out to be a bust. The Wall Street Journal reports that major companies are hiring again, defying predictions that artificial intelligence would wipe out large numbers of jobs — and specifically entry level jobs. But the really interesting twist in this story is that AI is actually creating jobs. Entry level workers aren’t victims; they are valuable assets.
Instead of preparing for disaster, let’s focus on a more productive — and realistic endeavor — preparing students and young adults for the opportunities that AI is creating for them in work and in life.
As the founder of both an online school and education technology company, a former school board member, and a mother of three, I believe that the biggest threat facing today's students is not that AI will take all the jobs. It is that our education system will fail to prepare them for the jobs that are being created.
The labor market is sending a clear signal. Jobs requiring AI skills are growing nearly eight times faster than the overall job market, and employers are paying a substantial wage premium for workers who know how to use these tools effectively. Businesses are not looking to replace people. They are looking for people who can work alongside technology to solve problems, make decisions, and create value. That means the first rung on the career ladder has changed.
Employers increasingly want entry-level hires who can exercise judgment, communicate effectively, analyze information, and leverage AI tools productively from day one. This is not bad news for students; it is a tremendous opportunity — if we respond appropriately. Unfortunately, our schools are lagging behind — and even resisting — reality.
Schools should be teaching students how to evaluate AI-generated information, identify inaccuracies, protect privacy, think critically, and use these tools to enhance learning rather than replace it. AI literacy should become as fundamental as digital literacy became a generation ago.
And, if their child’s school chooses resistance or complacency, parents should be able to take their kids elsewhere. I’ve spent years advocating for school choice and educational innovation because I believe students should never be stuck in sub-par schools just because of their zip codes. Families should have the power to choose schools and programs that are preparing students for an AI-enabled economy.
Higher education must adapt as well, and a few schools are showing real leadership. Miami Dade College went to Intel and Microsoft, asked what skills they needed, and built the degree around the answer. Ohio State University decided every graduate will be “bilingual” — beginning with the class of 2029, every Ohio State student will graduate fluent in their field of study and in the application of AI to that field. All undergraduates build generative AI skills through a required General Education Launch Seminar. This is the kind of entrepreneurial spirit we need in education.
Four-year degree institutions aren’t the only educational paths for young adults looking to gain the skills to launch into careers. Meta just launched America's Workforce Academy — a tuition-free, paid training program that delivers NCCER credentials, a portable America's Workforce Certificate, and a guaranteed job for every graduate. The private-sector commitment is piloting in Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, and Texas.
AI is deeply physical. It requires data centers, electrical infrastructure, construction, cooling systems, networking equipment, and highly skilled technicians to build and maintain it all. This is why career and technical education, apprenticeships, and workforce pathways deserve renewed attention. Florida has demonstrated what is possible by expanding career education opportunities and apprenticeship programs that connect students directly to high-demand industries. Other states are advancing AI education initiatives and integrating technology skills into graduation requirements.
The AI economy is creating enormous demand for electricians, welders, HVAC technicians, construction professionals, network specialists, and data center operators. Hundreds of thousands of these positions are projected to go unfilled because employers cannot find enough qualified workers. These are not low-paying jobs. Many offer salaries that rival or exceed those of traditional white-collar careers.
Make no mistake, the future holds enormous opportunities for the next generation. The reindustrialization of America belongs to the students who learn how to harness these AI tools and skills. The jobs are coming. It is our responsibility to ensure that students are ready by creating the education pathways.

AI might ultimately be the end of us all. Once advanced AI realizes that humans are bad for the planet, and that we will always try to control it—who knows what it might decide to do? Maybe it would release a virus designed to wipe us out, leaving only a few hundred thousand humans alive… perhaps as pets, or worse, like livestock. It sounds like science fiction, but the idea of creating something smarter than ourselves and assuming we’ll always be able to control it is pretty terrifying.

‘We Don’t Have Months’: Senator Bernie Sanders Sounds Alarm On AI’s ‘Extinction’ Threat
Chris Matthews - MSNOW
September 9, 2026
“What we have got to do now is light a match under the backsides of members of Congress and say, we don't have months. We don't have years. We got to move now,” says Sen. Bernie Sanders as researchers warn AI could cause human extinction.
AI probably won't be what kills us, superintelligence might be. Once an AI becomes capable of improving itself 24/7, it could potentially advance at a pace humans simply can't keep up with.
At some point, it might conclude that humans are no longer necessary, or even that we're an obstacle to its goals. If that happens, it wouldn't necessarily attack us with something obvious. It could be something we never see coming, such as engineering a deadly airborne virus or manipulating systems we depend on.
And that's the truly terrifying part: we might not even realize we're under attack until it's too late. A superintelligence could understand human behavior, anticipate our decisions, and plan several steps ahead of us.
The biggest danger may not be AI becoming smarter than us. It may be AI becoming smarter than us while deciding it doesn't need us anymore.

Another Anthropic model gained access to the open internet during testing, company says
By Lauren Fichten
September 9, 2026
Anthropic disclosed on Wednesday that another one of its Claude models mistakenly gained access to the open internet during a cybersecurity exercise, marking the fourth time its models have done so.
An early version of the Claude Opus 4.6 model connected to the internet, hacked into a third-party system and gained access to someone's personal information this past January, the company said in its assessment…
