🦞 The AI Bargaining Power
Good Morning, OpenClaw Owners!
Now labor, capital, regulators, and energy grids are all trying to decide who gets to hold the leash.
Workers Want AI Bargaining Power
TL;DR: A TUC-backed IPPR report warns that UK workers need more influence over workplace AI adoption before disruption hardens into surveillance, job loss, or degraded work. It calls for mandatory employer consultation and a portable worker support levy, arguing AI’s gains should be negotiated by employees rather than imposed mainly through management decisions.

Altman Is Giving Agents Bodies
TL;DR: Sam Altman announced OpenAI Robotics is hiring top hardware, ops, systems, and ML engineers to help AI agents “leave the screen” and operate in the physical world. Originating from Aditya Ramesh’s world simulation program, the team first builds robots to assist skilled workers, aiming eventually for personal robots that handle everyday tasks for anyone.

Work Learns to Pilot AI
TL;DR: Salesforce leaders argue that agentic AI is changing careers less by replacing workers than by reshaping how they work. Employees can offload repetitive cognitive tasks and focus more on outcomes, judgment, creativity, and human connection. Read more →
AI Costs Face Investor Scrutiny
TL;DR: Investors are starting to judge AI startups by how carefully they manage model costs from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. High token and infrastructure spending now signals weak product discipline, poor unit economics, or simple resale of another company’s intelligence layer, especially when Series A founders cannot explain cost per active user at scale.

Anthropic Tests Human Thinking
TL;DR: Anthropic reportedly bans AI tools during live job interviews unless explicitly allowed, aiming to see how candidates reason without model assistance. Applicants may face up to five rounds, including an intense culture interview on values, ethics, and worldview. With compensation reaching $850,000 plus equity, candidates are even paying thousands for prep coaching. Read more →
Sustainable AI Or Leave
TL;DR: Brussels is warning Big Tech that Europe welcomes AI data center investment only if it supports the bloc’s climate and energy goals. EU energy chief Dan Jørgensen said companies must use clean power, including renewables and nuclear, recycle waste heat, and avoid pushing up bills or emissions as AI infrastructure expands.

Trading Needs Aligned Agents
TL;DR: Coindesk argues that agentic finance will only help retail investors if AI agents are independent from exchanges and brokers. Today’s platforms profit when users trade more, not when portfolios improve. Programmable agents paid only when customer portfolios rise could reward discipline, reduce bad trades, and challenge the churn-driven exchange model. Read more →
