Last Thursday at 12:19 PM PDT, while you were probably watching cat videos or pretending to work, OpenAI CEO of Applications Fidji Simo casually dropped a blog post that should have broken the internet.

It didn't.

Why? Because it was buried under Apple's iPhone Air rumors and approximately 47 articles about whether AI will kill us all (spoiler: it won't, but your job might ghost you).

But here's the thing: September 4, 2025, marks the beginning of the end for how we've thought about work since Leonardo da Vinci invented the resume in 1482. (Okay fine, it was 1482, but Leonardo did actually write one, and honestly, we should have updated the format by now.)

OpenAI isn't just building another jobs platform. They're basically creating the Matrix, but for jobs. And honestly? It might not be the worst thing that's happened to hiring since someone decided "5+ years experience in a 2-year-old technology" was a reasonable requirement.

Buckle up, buttercup. This is going to get weird.
