Companies Are Lying About AI Layoffs – Here’s the Proof
Salesforce laid off 4,000 workers ‘because of AI’ while simultaneously hiring workers. Tech companies claim AI is making roles redundant but the data shows they’re outsourcing jobs, exploiting visa programs, and using tax loopholes that actually reward offshoring.

How R/GA used Google AI to create an ‘impossible ad’ for Moncler
Sadie Thoma, director, U.S. ads marketing at Google, sits down with Tiffany Rolfe, global chief creative Officer at R/GA, to discuss how Google AI is changing the creative game. Hear how R/GA leveraged generative AI through the Google Creative AI Lighthouse program to produce an “impossible ad” for their client, Moncler. They break down what this revolutionary project means for the creative process and why human ingenuity and passion remain the most important ingredients for great work.
With AI threatening jobs, is it time for a universal basic income? | The Business | ABC NEWS
Australia essentially did it during COVID. The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, thinks it’s inevitable. And a growing body of research suggests it could be the answer to AI shattering long-held high rates of employment. A Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is a regular, obligation-free payment to everyone. There are different models, but those key elements endure in research studies and pilot projects around the world. Associate professor of economy and society at Macquarie University, Ben Spies-Butcher, says the JobKeeper and ‘Coronavirus Supplement’ received by millions during the pandemic shows we can create a payment that everyone is entitled to, which would let them live at least a “decent, basic” life. “COVID showed us how precarious the idea of employment is … how shaky those foundations are,” UBI proponent Elise Klein says. The associate professor of public policy at the Crawford School at the Australian National University says COVID provided a “natural experiment” of the impact of a basic income.
The Stanford University Basic Income Lab has tallied about 160 global UBI experiments in the last four decades. They range in the objective they are focused on, the number of people in the study, and the value of the money they receive. While support is growing for a universal basic income, skeptics say it would cost hundreds of billions of dollars and change human behaviours. Simon Cowan, research director at think tank the Centre for Independent Studies, points to studies that show people who were allowed to withdraw super under emergency provisions in COVID spent it on gambling, alcohol and takeaway food.
The Lie So Dangerous Tesla Engineers Are Quitting
After hundreds of crashes and major lawsuits, Tesla’s misleading “autonomous driving” claims might be coming to an end.
Elon Musk and Tesla have promised full self-driving cars, but they haven’t delivered.
Now they might have to fully retract the claim and face consequences.
How Apple’s New iPhone Chips Enable On-Device AI
iPhone Air was the big star unveiled by Apple in early September, but inside was another hardware set launched that day: three new custom Apple microchips. Apple’s A19 Pro SoC prioritizes AI workloads with neural accelerators added to the GPU cores. Replacing Broadcom and Qualcomm parts is the N1 and C1X, Apple’s first iPhone networking chip and second generation iPhone modem. CNBC sat down with three Apple executives for the first U.S. interviews about its move to control all core iPhone chips.
The Secret to Better AI Videos: Stop Writing Prompts
Your ideas matter more than your prompts! This tutorial will show you how to use the documentation from a variety of AI video models to be able to write better prompts for text-to-video generators. Pour your creative energy into your ideas and storytelling rather than crafting a prompt. In this tutorial, I show how to use DeepSeek, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini to write better AI video prompts using documentation from Runway, Veo, Hailuo, Kling, Luma Dream Machine, and Vidu. This workflow keeps me focused on what matters most — the idea, the perspective, the story.
Scientists Just Solved Quantum Computing’s Biggest Problem
The noise problem that made quantum computers too unstable for real-world use? SOLVED. MIT and the Niels Bohr Institute just cracked real-time noise correction that could unleash quantum systems with MILLIONS of qubits.
We’re talking about computational power that makes today’s supercomputers look like pocket calculators. Drug discovery, climate modeling, financial predictions – everything is about to change.
This isn’t sci-fi speculation. This is happening RIGHT NOW, and the companies who move first will own the next decade.
