Fed Chair Powell Says AI Probably a Factor in Concerning Unemployment Rates

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-09-25 18:20:48

The Fed decided to cut interest rates on Wednesday, citing a weak labor market as the reason. The latest jobs report showed that U.S. employers only added 22,000 jobs in August, down from the 79,000 in July, showing a dramatic slowing in hiring. It was the worst August report since the pandemic and it got the Federal Reserve Board concerned. In a press conference on Wednesday, Fed Chair Jerome Powell was asked whether he thinks AI has any effect on this trend. Powell said that although there i

This is the third piece of the fourth part of our series (I, II, IIIa, IIIb, IVa, IVb) looking at the lives of pre-modern peasant farmers – a majority of all of the humans who have ever lived. Last time, we started looking at the subsistence of peasant agriculture by considering the productivity of our model farming families under basically ideal conditions: relatively good yields and effectively infinite land.

Appeals court says NLRB structure unconstitutional, in a win for SpaceX

Job growth has slowed sharply; the question is why

news.ycombinator.com Claudia Sahm 2025-12-02 22:57:56

After an avalanche of data last week, there are more signs of a slowing economy. Real GDP rose modestly in the first half, and inflation started to drift up. The labor market was the last piece to fall in line, and it did with a bang on Friday. Job growth slowed sharply starting in May (including large downward revisions in May and June), and the unemployment rate increased in July. It’s a complicated mix of supply and demand shocks, but an unsurprising outcome given the significant policy chang

For centuries, work has defined us. It has given us identity, purpose, and status in society. But what happens when work, our source of income, itself begins to disappear? Not because of war, depression, or outsourcing, but because of algorithms. What does it mean to work in an AI-driven economy?

Razer’s new Pokémon collab is not very effective

theverge.com Cameron Faulkner 2026-01-15 14:20:58

Razer’s new Pokémon collaboration is a missed opportunity. The four PC gaming peripherals in this lineup are simply reskinned versions of products that already exist, and which cost $20 to $40 more than their all-black counterparts. You really should be getting more for your money here. For example, the themed BlackWidow V4 X keyboard should include at least one highly detailed custom keycap (switching out Alt for pokéball designs doesn’t cut it).

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.
