Companies are Lying About AI Layoffs Companies are saying that the economy and AI are causing the large amount of tech layoffs, but Vanessa Wingårdh looked at the H-1B visa data and noticed that the companies are lying. She argues that the American employees are being replaced by cheaper H-1B visa workers. WSJ also reported on this due to some senators speaking up. As proof she uses the H-1B data from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. When filtering by fiscal years 2023, 2024 and

AI recruiter Alex raises $17M to automate initial job interviews

techcrunch.com Marina Temkin 2025-10-01 07:32:35

Job seekers in all fields can expect to soon be doing a lot more initial screening interviews. While that may sound like positive news, it doesn’t mean that there will suddenly be more open positions. Instead, recruiters, often bogged down with determining which applicants are qualified for the next round, will outsource the routine screening tasks — like checking backgrounds, salary needs, and availability— to (you guessed it) AI.

15 min read Five years ago, we announced that we were Eliminating Cold Starts with Cloudflare Workers . In that episode, we introduced a technique to pre-warm Workers during the TLS handshake of their first request. That technique takes advantage of the fact that the TLS Server Name Indication (SNI) is sent in the very first message of the TLS handshake. Armed with that SNI, we often have enough information to pre-warm the request’s target Worker. Eliminating cold starts by pre-warming Workers

The AI services transformation may be harder than VCs think

Venture capitalists have convinced themselves they’ve found the next big investing edge: using AI to wring software-like margins out of traditionally labor-intensive services businesses. The strategy involves acquiring mature professional services firms, implementing AI to automate tasks, then using the improved cash flow to roll up more companies.

LLM Observability in the Wild – Why OpenTelemetry Should Be the Standard

A few days ago I hosted a live conversation with Pranav, co-founder of Chatwoot, about issues his team was running into with LLM observability. The short version: building, debugging, and improving AI agents in production gets messy fast. There's multiple competing standards for default libraries for LLM observability.
