An OpenAI cofounder ‘vibe coded’ an analysis of the U.S. labor market’s exposure to AI, and the highest-paying jobs have the worst scores

An OpenAI cofounder conducted an analysis showing that higher-paying jobs (over $100k) face the greatest AI displacement risk with an average exposure score of 6.7 out of 10, while lower-paying jobs under $35k had minimal exposure at 3.4. This suggests AI may disproportionately impact white-collar professionals and exacerbate economic inequality, reversing traditional patterns where automation affected blue-collar workers first.
