So it turns out it’s the massively overpaid execs who could be replaced by AI… who’d have guessed
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

Canada’s top political leaders are climate deniers. There’s no such thing as “decarbonized” oil and no environmentally conscious way to increase fossil fuel production.
Mark Carney and his government are sacrificing the climate and baking in worse natural disasters in the hope of short-term profit.

I have been supported by so many wonderful editors throughout my career, but have to shout out @jensookfonglee.bsky.social especially for being an absolute story wizard!
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.
