The two discuss how college-educated workers are responding to this new reality, both individually and collectively; how AI may supercharge the pains already felt by new college grads; and how it's all reshaping — and may even break — our political system.</p><p>For a closed-captioned version of this episode, <a href="https://youtu.be/FrC_20dG5ds">click here</a>.
