Like all generative AI video models, Google's Veo 3 shines in small doses. At the company's Made On YouTube event this week in New York, journalists and creators saw just what it can do in YouTube Shorts. You could, for instance, film a video of the streets of New York and add a penguin riding a skateboard. Or you could have AI manipulate a picture of yourself to have a black belt in karate or dance like a ballerina. One demo showed how Veo 3 could insert a realistic-looking monster into a livi

There may be nobody else on Earth more excited about AI than CEOs. Driven by a compulsion to cut overhead costs — and avoid the wrath of similarly AI-fixated shareholders — executive teams across the US can’t wait to force AI onto their workforces, consequences be damned. Corporate executives have become giddy at the thought of automating their workforces, boasting about supposed productivity gains as they lay off human workers, who now face one of the worst job markets in recent history.
