Wall Street was bristling earlier this month as the chipmaker Nvidia behind the AI boom hit a record market value of $3.92 trillion, narrowly eclipsing Apple's record of $3.915 trillion set last December. Just days later, Nvidia became the most valuable company in history, breaking the $4 trillion value ceiling and pushing CEO Jensen Huang up to being the world's sixth richest person, with a net worth of over $143 billion.

These Strange Jobs Will Survive AI, Expert Says

futurism.com Unknown 2025-07-27 07:28:53

Many experts hold that generative AI will have sweeping effects on the job market. But how exactly it will transform the workforce remains a subject of much debate. According to Adam Dorr, the director of research at tech forecast nonprofit RethinkX, we're risking putting all of humanity out of a job — and only some oddly specific occupations will survive a major transformation. "Technology has a new target in its crosshairs — and that's us," Dorr told The Guardian. "That’s our labor." Accord

MIT Economist Warns AI Is Poised to Turn Economy Into "Mad Max" Scenario

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-06 12:10:47

MIT economist David Autor is warning that AI could create a "Mad Max" scenario, in which the job market becomes dominated by cheap and commoditized labor. Autor made his grim prediction during an interview on the "Possible" podcast, hosted by LinkedIn cofounder Reid Hoffman and his chief of staff Aria Finger. When asked whether he thought society is headed towards a "Wall-E" scenario — where "people sit around on hovercraft armchairs watching holographic TV" — or much grimmer alternative, Auto

The Download: China’s winning at advanced manufacturing, and a potential TikTok sale

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-08-09 00:10:00

In 2013, a trio of academics showed convincing evidence that increased trade with China beginning in the early 2000s and the resulting flood of cheap imports had been an unmitigated disaster for many US communities, destroying their manufacturing lifeblood. The results of what they called the “China shock” were gut-wrenching: the loss of 1 million US manufacturing jobs and 2.4 million jobs in total by 2011.

CEOs Say AI Is Poised to Wipe Out an Astonishing Number of Jobs

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-09 00:15:05

Billionaire tech moguls aren't the only ones doomsaying about artificial intelligence layoffs. CEOs across a range of industries are now jumping on the bandwagon, saying it's no longer a matter of "if," but "how many" jobs AI will take. A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal explored just how pervasive the automation idea is throughout a number of industries, and execs aren't pulling any punches.

At this rate, it won't be long until the flesh and blood employees are downright outnumbered.

"Like with every technical transformation, there will be fewer people doing some of the jobs that the technology actually starts to automate," Jassy told CNBC's Jim Cramer in an interview on Monday.

A Deep Dive into Solid Queue for Ruby on Rails

news.ycombinator.com Hans-Jörg Schnedlitz 2025-08-26 12:31:09

Our previous article in this series established that Solid Queue is an excellent choice if you need a system for processing background jobs. It minimizes external dependencies — no need for Redis! — by storing all jobs in your database. Despite that, it is incredibly performant. But just being performant is not enough for a production-ready background job system. Rails developers have come to expect a lot over the years. We don't just want to enqueue jobs to run in the background. We want to sc

The other is that the tech's mostly a nothingburger, with the boosters from the first narrative forcing its slop into everyone's life, while cutting-edge AI systems remain flawed and unlikely to improve enough to be really useful for much, other than filling the web with spa
