Happy Friday Everyone! This week is back to another thoughtful rundown of the latest happenings. This week in particular, the intersection of business, tech, and human experience feels like a wild ride through chaos. From TikTok bans to AI taking over the hiring process (but not how you’d think), there’s a lot to unpack.
With that, let’s break it all down:
TikTok Ban – TikTok finds itself under fire yet again with a blackout looming, but is this really about national security, or is it just political theater? With the U.S. Govt jumping to ultimatums and what seems like a modern-day game of chicken, the implications for creators and users alike could be massive.
AI Job Assistant – A developer’s AI agent applied to 1,000 jobs overnight and got 50 callbacks, which sounds fantastic, but is it? This is a tough one since it’s not just about AI streamlining processes. This brings to light the unsustainable madness this kind of rapid automation is creating in the job market. Do we really want this kind of chaos?
META Madness – Meta is in the news for all the wrong reasons. From adding AI users to its platforms only to face immediate backlash to Zuckster claiming AI could replace developers while announcing yet another round of layoffs. In addition, the company is controversially copying X with Community Notes. Honestly, it’s hard to tell if Meta is innovating or scrambling to stay relevant.
NVIDIA Super Computer – NVIDIA recently announced a desktop AI supercomputer for $3,000. It’s an exciting glimpse into the future of AI development, but how accessible will this power really be, and at what cost will it come?
Apple Digital Health – Apple is making digital health their top priority with ambitions to take healthcare to the next level, but at what point does their “healthcare empire” become too much? Is this a win for consumers, or are we stepping into dystopia?
