@useorigin And still no Rollover for budgeting

Economists' first projection for Q1 GDP growth just came in at 2% annualized — roughly in line with expectations. This was a big rebound from Q4, and in contrast to a downward trend in projections leading up to the release. But — on the flip side of that growth is another kind —because today, the U.S. national debt officially crossed over the 100% of GDP threshold. We have roughly ~$31.265 trillion in publicly held debt, while last year’s GDP was about $31.216 trillion. This wasn’t unexpected by any means, and there’s no switch-flip from 99% to 100%, but crossing this line is both psychologically and economically disturbing. We surpassed 100% briefly back in 2020, but the U.S. hasn’t officially ended a fiscal year above this milestone since 1946 — and there’s no sign of a reversal coming this time.

Nearly half of college students say they’ve spent a meaningful amount of time thinking about changing their major because of AI, and about 1 in 6 have already done it. That’s a pretty aggressive response to something that, at least so far, hasn’t actually played out in the way people keep describing it. If you look at what AI can do right now, it’s not replacing jobs in clean, obvious chunks. It’s just getting better at pieces of them. MIT’s latest work has models handling around 65% of text-based tasks at a “good enough” level, with that number likely to climb over time — but “good enough” still comes with a lot of caveats, and most of it still requires a person involved somewhere along the line. So the reality is slower and more uneven than the narrative. Jobs aren’t disappearing overnight — they’re getting chipped at, reorganized, and in some cases, made more valuable depending on how the work changes. Students don’t really have the luxury of waiting to see how that shakes out, though. If you’re in school right now, you’re making decisions based on what you think the market will look like in a few years, not what it looks like today. And right now, the signal you’re getting is a mix of “learn this immediately” and “this entire category of work might not exist,” often in the same conversation.
