🤖 AI ModelsLeaked Vertex AI logs expose Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 'Fennec' model scheduled for February-March 2026 release. The next-generation AI demonstrates coding capabilities surpassing Opus 4.5, mathematical reasoning breakthroughs, and revolutionary 'Dev Team' multi-agent mode - positioning to challenge OpenAI's enterprise dominance with dramatic cost reductions.
The automation revolution isn't coming - it's here. While tech publications celebrate "disruption," we focus on what it means for workers.
Major companies are already replacing workers with AI. Amazon, Google, IBM, and thousands of others have announced AI-driven workforce reductions. This isn't speculation - it's documented reality with real people losing their livelihoods.
In 2022, ChatGPT couldn't write a coherent paragraph. Today, AI generates 41% of code at some companies, writes marketing copy, creates images, and handles customer service. The pace of improvement means more jobs are at risk every month.
Tech optimists promise AI will "augment" workers and create new jobs. History shows automation creates fewer jobs than it destroys. We cut through the PR spin to show you what's actually happening on the ground.
You can't prepare for change you don't understand. Our mission is to give workers, researchers, and policymakers accurate, data-driven information about automation's impact - not corporate talking points or doomsday fear-mongering.
