Meet the Top 10 AI-Proof Jobs That Everyone Wants

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-10-27 16:25:08

AI is rapidly scaling in the workforce and creating fears of an employment crisis, as workers and people entering the workforce try to figure out if their career is on the chopping block. That quick pace is backed by emerging data. As a result, people are trying to find “AI-proof” jobs that can guarantee job security as companies around the world choose to automate tasks instead of hiring new workers. Although no study can definitively say which occupations are 100% AI-proof and which are doom

Chatbots can be manipulated through flattery and peer pressure

theverge.com Terrence O'Brien 2025-10-27 18:06:24

Generally, AI chatbots are not supposed to do things like call you names or tell you how to make controlled substances. But, just like a person, with the right psychological tactics, it seems like at least some LLMs can be convinced to break their own rules. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania deployed tactics described by psychology professor Robert Cialdini in Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion to convince OpenAI’s GPT-4o Mini to complete requests it would normally refuse.

A Single Typo in Your Medical Records Can Make Your AI Doctor Go Dangerously Haywire

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-27 12:00:37

A single typo, formatting error, or slang word makes an AI more likely to tell a patient they're not sick or don't need to seek medical care. That's what MIT researchers found in a June study currently awaiting peer review, which we covered previously. Even the presence of colorful or emotional language, they discovered, was enough to throw off the AI's medical advice. Now, in a new interview with the Boston Globe, study coauthor Marzyeh Ghassemi is warning about the serious harm this could ca

OpenAI is testing "Thinking effort" for ChatGPT

OpenAI is working on a new feature called the Thinking effort picker for ChatGPT. With the Thinking effort picker, you can choose how hard ChatGPT can think. When a model thinks harder, it doesn't necessarily mean a great response. You might not want the model to think harder when you're not sure what to do tomorrow. However, you may want the model to think harder when you're working on a complex topic, such as econometrics, bond valuation, healthcare and so on. As spotted on X, OpenAI is te

"This telegram must be closely paraphrased before being communicated" Why?

It appears that it was US military communications doctrine to not send the exact same message twice using different encryption ("none" counting as one type of encryption), and the term of art for changing a message to avoid that was indeed "paraphrase". I managed to dig up a US Army document on Cryptology from roughly that era that appears to discuss paraphrasing.

The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab.
