57,000 Jobs Added in June. AI Is Named. And the White House Is Writing Voluntary Standards.

The worst jobs report since 2024 landed this morning — and AI is cited directly as a driver, with 88,000 US job cuts attributed to AI in 2026 alone, a record. The policy paradox: the same models Washington is governing are the ones softening the labor market heading into midterms. We cover the numbers, the EU AI Act's high-risk obligations now officially delayed to December 2027, and Claude Sonnet 5 as the new default for all free and Pro users.
