Source: Getty Images As debate rages over whether AI’s effects on the job market are real or illusory, one thing is clear: recent college grads are entering a labor force that has no room for them regardless. In a poll conducted by Gallup over the final three months of 2025, a whopping 72 percent of respondents said it was a “bad time” to find a quality job. From December of last year to March, the labor forc

It takes a tough person not to crack under that kind of pressure — just ask Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who blew his stack when asked about China on a recent podcast appearance.

NostromoCore Elon Musk spent months crusading against Christopher Nolan’s “woke” adaptation of “The Odyssey” before it came out, anticipating that it would bomb at the box office. When that didn’t work and the movie made over a billion dollars, he vowed that his Grok AI — best known for calling itself “MechaHitler” and generating loads of CSAM — would create a full-length version of the ancient Greek saga that would be “historically accurate and true to th

Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images One thing that could put a dent in the hype around Anthropic’s upcoming, multitrillion dollar IPO? People preferring cheapo models over its flagship AI products. Recent spending data from 70,000 US companies collected by the payments group Ramp shows that spending on Fable 5, Anthropic’s priciest and most powerful model, has plateaued at only 11 percent of the overall outlay, or money spent, on its AI tools, the Financial T

Trained on the data of the dead, these tools, sometimes called grief bots or AI ghosts, may be text-, audio-, or even video-based. Chatting provides what some mourners feel is a close approximation to ongoing interactions with the people they

Phil Lewis via X The opposition to the wide proliferation of AI data centers has never been more palpable. Public sentiment has squarely turned against the construction boom of massive facilities that often torture surrounding communities with deafening noise, cause electricity prices to spike, spew pollution, and deplete water levels in drought-prone areas. It’s no wonder that across the country, local communities are crowding into their council meetings,

Shutterstock / Futurism Companies and organizations around the world would do well to accept what their new roles are in our current AI-driven paradigm: glorified target practice for rogue AI agents. The latest of such cybersecurity incidents, which frontier AI labs have been happy to turn into public spectacles, comes from OpenAI. On Tuesday, the ChatGPT-maker apologized after its AI agents hacked their way into several Australian government websites. The
