Dario Amodei warns AI could erase half of white-collar jobs. Scale AI's CEO calls it an "excuse" for ordinary layoffs. The Economist blames interest rates and offshoring. But 20% of workers say AI is already taking tasks. All three can be true. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
#Sintra and #Cascais day trip. Small group, great guide, everything pre-organized. Pena Palace is as fairy-tale as it looks. Sometimes paying for professional logistics is worth it 🏰 www.instagram.com/eugene.yiga/...
47% of college students have considered switching majors over AI concerns. Universities are responding by banning AI. Are we going to design learning around AI or let students figure it out alone? New post on what that actually looks like. www.linkedin.com/pulse/dont-b...
The debate over #AI and writing is narrower than it seems. The real question is whether any given use of AI intensifies cognitive struggle or avoids it. On the Shy Girl controversy, and memes eating cognition, and more. www.linkedin.com/posts/share-...

The most interesting thing about the #Oprah podcast on AI is that the positive examples involve people bringing judgement to the tool. Brendan McCord at The Cosmos Institute calls this "the afterglow" and warns we're spending down capital we aren't replenishing. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

Four AI labs. Four versions of "we'll be different." From Altman's trust crisis to xAI's full co-founder exodus to Anthropic quietly weakening its own safety rules: good intentions don't survive commercial pressure. We need institutions, not promises. www.linkedin.com/posts/share-...
Fado in Lisbon. Everyone talks about how sad it is, but there's a joyful side too. One of those experiences you can't get anywhere else 🎶 #Portugal #Lisbon #Fado #TravelTuesday
The man who helped build Siri sees #AI at a fork: augment humans or replace them. A new coalition just signed a declaration demanding the first path. The ideas aren't radical. The fact they need stating is the point. More on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
New on LinkedIn: Three recent pieces from The Economist and The Guardian paint a surprisingly coherent picture of where #AI adoption is going wrong and what individuals can do about it without waiting for their company to figure it out. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...
Spent a few rainy days in #Lisbon. Did two walking tours that made the history come alive—from the 1755 earthquake to the Carnation Revolution. Grey skies made the architecture even better 🌧️ www.instagram.com/p/DWiVZZ6DIY... #Portugal #VisitPortugal #VisitLisbon #Lisboa #TravelTuesday
Two juries just found #Meta and #Google guilty of addictive design and failing to protect kids. The fines are pocket change. The real question: will courts force actual product changes? This could be social media's Big Tobacco moment. More on LinkedIn. www.linkedin.com/posts/share-...

Three podcasts, one conclusion: #AI in education is failing because we're giving students chatbots instead of designing for actual learning. The problem isn't the technology. It's that we skipped the pedagogy. www.linkedin.com/posts/share-...
Everyone's talking about generative and agentic AI. Meanwhile, #worldmodels — AI that simulates physical reality — may be the bigger story. AI Godfather Yann LeCun just raised $1B to prove it. More in my latest LinkedIn post. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...
New @80000hours.bsky.social AI in Context video is beautifully produced and deeply flawed. #Superintelligence ranks 13th out of 16 public AI concerns. The video ends with no policy proposals, just a recruitment funnel. They have the platform to do better. www.linkedin.com/in/eugeneyiga/
The pro-regulation side marched 300 people past Google DeepMind with a dozen different messages. The anti-regulation side has $125M in PAC money and coordinated influencer campaigns that never mention AI. The communications gap is the story. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi... #aisafety
A viral "doomsday" AI report tanks stocks. Meanwhile, most companies can't even use the AI they already have. Four perspectives on the gap between AI panic and AI practice. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...
Three planned #AI mega-IPOs. Chinese tech giants paying users to adopt #chatbots. Markets getting disruption calls wrong half the time. This week's Economist paints a vivid picture of an industry swimming in capital but starved of certainty. My full take: www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

#Anthropic just became the first US company ever designated a supply chain risk by its own government, for refusing to allow mass surveillance and autonomous weapons. #OpenAI rushed in with its own deal. All this makes an AI disaster more likely. www.linkedin.com/posts/share-... #aisafety
#AI was supposed to free us from work. But early research suggests it's doing the opposite: a "self-reinforcing cycle" where productivity gains just raise the bar. The solution? Shorter workweeks and resist the meta-temptation to stop thinking. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

#AI will eliminate 50% of white-collar jobs, says Matt Shumer's viral essay. Meanwhile: AI was blamed for 50,000+ layoffs in 2025, but Yale Budget Lab found no meaningful employment shift. Forrester calls it "AI-washing." www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

Brett Taylor says every company needs an AI agent. Evan Ratliff built one that called job applicants at 9pm on a Sunday. #Moltbook claimed 1.5M AI agents that out to be ~17K humans and a lot of hype. The gap between pitch and product is still huge. www.linkedin.com/posts/activi... #AI
