There’s this certain category of human work that economists clearly want to put in a horrible basket marked “not worth paying for because AI can do it.” This group includes some outliers—model, for instance—but it’s mainly jobs in customer service, sales, administration. Many of these jobs are done from a desk, and involve interfacing between people and systems. There’s real data now about what’s happening to these jobs in the AI era, and the trend is not

One of the things artificial intelligence seems particularly adept at is cybersecurity—at least if you buy the marketing pitch of models like Anthropic’s Mythos, which supposedly spotted vulnerabilities that humans failed to patch for more than 20 years. But instead of putting cybersecurity experts out of work, AI has actually created a hiring spree, according to the New York Times. Citing headhunter companies that help place cyber engineers at major firms

The Essential The press has taken note of Apple's admission of dependence on Google, but the agreement is more nuanced: Google would provide Gemini as a « teacher » through distillation during training, while inference would take place in the cloud. This technical division nuances the media narrative and illustrates the complexity of the partnership between Apple and Google.

Grand Theft Auto VI is finally set to come out this November, after being in development for roughly a decade. For many fans, the wait has felt even longer considering Grand Theft Auto V first came out in 2013. Now, one AI startup founder apparently can’t wait any longer, so he’s trying to vibe code his own version. “Day 1 of building GTA 6. Still feels fake typing that out,” wrote 25-year-old Ziwen Xu on X this Wednesday. “Upgraded to Claude Max 20x just

I've been debugging the web version of my board game for three months. "Release Any Price" is a card game about chaos in IT development, and I already wrote about the first version of its board in August: then the board was just learning to play scenes from the playground, and a colleague had just merged the release and the protection. Since then, the game has reached beta, and you can play it via the link: https://mythhand.github.io/ReleaseBoardGameP2P/.

Air ducts are a promising but challenging domain for drones. Credit: npj Robotics (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s44182-025-00032-5 New research published in npj Robotics addresses the challenge of flying small quadrotors in air ducts as small as 35 cm (14 inches). This research, led by a team of researchers from Inria, CNRS, Université de Lorraine, and Aix-Marseille Université, opens a new way of accessing and inspecting highly-confined environments. Air ducts are

Since the release of the conversational platform ChatGPT, which relies on different versions of an LLM called GPT, these models have become widely used by individuals worldwide, while also making their way into some profe

Beijing, China – April 15, 2025 – In a strategic move that underscores its technological prowess and global ambitions, potentially paving the way for a future IPO, Chinese AI company Zhipu.AI has announced the comprehensive open-sourcing of its next-generation General Language Models (GLM). This release includes the advanced GLM-4 series and the groundbreaking GLM-Z1 inference models, boasting unprecedented inference speeds and the launch of a dedicated in

AI music startup Suno announced several major changes Thursday aimed at cracking down on the misuse of songs generated on its platform. Co-founder and CEO Mikey Shulman wrote in a blog post that the company plans to introduce audio watermarking and fingerprinting technology that will make it easier for music platforms to identify and trace songs created with Suno. Suno will also introduce a new download policy intended to limit users’ ability to mass-distr
