Skills Reckoning

from System Override Hosted by Shannon Burch

The skills you bring to work are being repriced in real time — and four very different stories from the past week show exactly how. A Netflix founder told parents to skip STEM and double down on emotional skills. A SaaS CEO hired 1,000 new graduates and called the AI jobpocalypse a "narrative violation." Microsoft and the building trades unions quietly rolled out free AI literacy for electricians, ironworkers, and pipefitters. And China just officially recognized delivery riders and livestreamers as a real labor category with real protections. In Episode 15, Shannon and Bri pull these four stories together to ask the question underneath all of them: who decides which skills count, who pays to develop them, and who captures the value when they're deployed?
