Wired: AI eliminating young workers’ jobs
Artificial intelligence is growing at a rapid pace, leaving some young workers wondering what the technology means for their future. According to a report from Wired, economists at Stanford University say they’ve found the strongest evidence yet that AI is starting to eliminate certain jobs for young people. Will Knight, senior writer at Wired and author of the A.I. Lab newsletter, joins CBS News to discuss.
Why did our friends stop posting on social media? | BBC Global
Kyle Chayka, a writer for The New Yorker, discusses how social media has changed over the years and why “normal people” have stopped posting their personal lives online.
The main points of the discussion are:
- A Shift in Content: The platforms have de-prioritized content from “normal people” in favor of news headlines, professional influencer content, and AI-generated media. The medium has become “higher brow” with a higher production value, making it difficult for average people to keep up.
- Social Media is Less Social: The purpose of social media has changed from being a way to connect with friends and family to a space for consuming highly commodified content, advertising, and lifestyle aspirations. This shift makes social media feel like an endless stream of commercials.
- The Rise of Private Sharing: As public feeds become less personal, people are moving their sharing to more private, intimate channels like direct messages and group chats. The discussion suggests that new apps or platforms may emerge to serve this need for private online social networks.
- The Downside of Broadcasting: The speaker suggests that people have learned the downsides of broadcasting their private lives online, such as public shaming and viral embarrassments. For many, the deal of posting publicly is no longer worth the risk unless they are trying to become a professional influencer.
- A Possible “Posting Zero” Future: The video proposes a future where “posting zero” becomes the norm, meaning people will stop posting online because there’s no incentive to. The conversation notes that this trend may lead to a desire for more in-person interactions. The speaker gives an example of his daughter, who has deleted her social media apps and doesn’t post, suggesting that the era of public sharing might have been an “aberration.”
Why China’s 2-Minute Micro Dramas Are Poised To Take Over The U.S.
Duanju, the Chinese term for micro dramas known for wild plots and vertical, bite-sized videos, made headlines in China in 2024 as the industry surpassed the country’s box-office revenue for the first time. The short-format videos, which typically consist of episodes ranging from 90 seconds to two minutes long, initially gained popularity in China after capitalizing on the short-form video trend from other short-video apps in the country. And it now has its sights set on the U.S. entertainment industry.
How AI is Pushing Tech Workers to Blue-Collar Jobs
Since the rise of AI and automation, white-collar jobs are increasingly at risk, prompting a shift toward blue-collar trades. In 2025, 40% of young university graduates are choosing careers like plumbing, construction, and electrical work, which cannot be automated.
These jobs offer growing salaries—plumbers earning up to $99,000, electricians $98,000, and construction workers $75,000—outpacing many office roles. With office job postings declining and blue-collar demand rising, vocational training has become a cost-effective alternative to expensive university degrees.
Apprenticeships and practical skills are now valued, offering financial stability and career growth in an evolving labor market.
Is The AI Bubble Finally Bursting?
According to the video, the AI bubble is not about the end of artificial intelligence, but rather the end of its role as a vehicle for economic speculation. The video compares this situation to the dot-com bubble.
The speaker notes that tech giants are currently propping up the US stock market. Clear signs of a bubble in publicly traded AI stocks include investors actively looking for reasons to sell their shares. If the AI bubble bursts, it’s expected to cause a significant decrease in GDP, as the stock market has been shrinking for a while if these companies are excluded. The speaker speculates that trillions of dollars in investment money might leave the US economy and be invested in foreign countries like China or the UAE. The video also mentions that if the bubble bursts, the general public, including those with 401(k) retirement accounts, could be negatively affected and left “holding the bag.”

Microsoft boss troubled by rise in reports of ‘AI psychosis’ | BBC News
There are increasing reports of people suffering “AI psychosis”, Microsoft’s head of artificial intelligence (AI), Mustafa Suleyman, has warned.
In a series of posts on X, he wrote that “seemingly conscious AI” are keeping him “awake at night” and said they have societal impact even though the technology is not conscious in any human definition of the term.
“There’s zero evidence of AI consciousness today. But if people just perceive it as conscious, they will believe that perception as reality,” he wrote.
Related to this is the rise of a new condition called “AI psychosis”: a non-clinical term describing incidents where people increasingly rely on AI chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude and Grok and then become convinced that something imaginary has become real.
