First, don’t panic. Despite all the online chatter and fear, Anthropic economists say that artificial intelligence use is far from reaching its full potential to disrupt the labor market. However, the company says it’s building an early-warning system for a potential AI-driven white-collar jobs bust.

The company's new research comes as fears mount that AI is taking work away from young job-seekers. Older white-collar workers are fretting about their long-term job security in the face of ever-capable generative AI tools and recent layoffs from corporations such as Amazon and Block that have cited AI.

While the new index from Claude’s maker shows “limited evidence” that AI has affected joblessness so far, the effort enters a larger debate among economists over how a possible “AI labor doom and gloom” scenario should be tracked in the first place. “By laying this groundwork now, before meaningful effects have emerged, we hope future findings will more reliably identify economic disruption than post-hoc analyses,” economists Maxim Massenkoff and Peter McCrory write in a new paper.

The measure, which they call Observed Exposure, shows just how far LLMs have to go to disrupt specific job tasks that AI could theoretically replace or augment. “For instance, Claude currently covers just 33% of all tasks in the Computer & Math category,” they wrote. Computer programmers (75% task coverage), customer service reps, data entry keyers and medical record specialists rank among the most exposed occupations, Anthropic says.

The researchers note that the difference between current AI exposure and potential exposure is massive, raising the possibility of job turmoil down the line. This helps explain the renewed interest in skilled trade work. Some 77% of Gen Zers say it’s important that their future job is hard to automate, with more young workers turning to careers like carpentry, plumbing and electrician, according to a recent report from Jobber, a software tool for service businesses.

In a phone interview with CBS News on Monday afternoon, President Donald Trump said the U.S. war with Iran could almost be over. The U.S. military said it struck more than 3,000 Iranian targets in the first week of operations. “If you look, they have nothing left. There’s nothing left in a military sense,” Trump said from his Doral, Florida, golf club.

But the Pentagon burned through $5.6 billion worth of munitions during the first 48 hours of its military assault on Iran, reports the Washington Post. The figure that underscores the deepening alarm among some on Capitol Hill over the speed at which U.S. forces have eaten into the scarce supply of America’s most advanced weaponry.

On the economic fallout, commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the global oil supply flows, has effectively ground to a halt. The longer that critical transportation hub stays blocked the more likely fuel prices will continue to soar—they are up 15% on average across America over the last seven days. Historically, price shocks have taken time to reverse themselves, so pricing could stay elevated for months, resulting in cost jumps for groceries and other shipped goods. Consumers and businesses, stung by the rising costs, are likely going to choose to spend less, constraining economic growth. In the eyes of economists, this is the increasingly real and dire picture from the U.S.-led war with Iran.

I’m sure you heard about it … In a conversation with Matthew McConaughey for Variety, Chalamet continued his swaggering plea for Best Actor Oscar glory. Between bits of aggrandizing awards-season interview questions and self-satisfied laughter, the 30-year old actor said, “I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera or things where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive even though … no one cares about this anymore.’”

Quickly Chalamet realized that he might’ve f*#ked around and found out. Doja Cat blasted him. So did a slew of other celebrities and creative institutions. Will it affect his Oscar chances? Entertainment Weekly says “probably not. The town hall initially took place on Feb. 21, and while Oscar voting closed on March 5, his controversial comments about ballet and opera didn’t gain much traction online until the following weekend.” As such, Chalamet likely avoided any immediate fallout for the incident.

Vulture’s Angelica Jade Bastién argues that Chalamet’s entire awards season campaign has been as much about Marty Supreme as it has been about arguing that the idea of the movie star is still alive. So maybe this is just his shrewd way to getting people to sit-up and pay attention. “Hollywood is in a financial crisis motivated by a host of knotted issues, including studio heads who believe you can eliminate risk from moviemaking,” she says. “But Hollywood is also in an artistic crisis. So many films fail to engage meaningfully with the concerns, pleasures, and contradictions of modern humanity—I don’t want movies to become so niche they no longer apply to the public.”
