Federal Workers Are Being Used as Pawns in the Shutdown
"People are scared, says one federal worker. "Is WIRED hiring?" jokes another. Federal workers have grown accustomed to a specific kind of dread over the past year . As of July, more than 150,000 federal workers had resigned from their roles since president Donald Trump took office for the second time, according to . Tens of thousands were also fired. For the past few months, it seemed like this bloodletting was over--but that all changed on Friday. Thousands of employees at eight government agencies were subjected to RIFs, or reductions in force--the government's formal process of laying off federal workers. According to a court filing from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) on Friday, this latest round of firings has affected more than 4,000 federal employees. The court filing also claimed that the administration targeted the Treasury and the Department of Health and Human Services the hardest, hacking away at a combined 2,500 jobs across the two agencies and the entire Washington, DC, office of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention . The Department of Education culled nearly its entire team handling special education, CNN reported on Tuesday . At the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, cuts ranged from a few dozen to several hundred jobs, according to the same filing. Who says their goal is to traumatize people?" says one IRS worker, referencing private speeches given by Russell Vought, the head of OMB and a key architect of the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 who has been the public face of the job-cutting.

Winners and Losers of the AI Revolution: Artificial Intelligence Is Radically Changing the Employment Landscape
Artificial intelligence is becoming a permanent element in the world of work, with Silicon Valley calling it the dawning of a new age. Many people are afraid of losing their job, but Germany is well-prepared. In the northern part of the U.S. state of Louisiana, right next to the prison on the outskirts of Shreveport, looms a gigantic building of concrete and steel. Welcome to the future," reads a colorful greeting painted on the wall at the entrance, right next to the obligatory American flag. It is 9:30 a.m., a busy time of day. Yet the halls and corridors of SHV1, as the building is referred to internally, are completely empty of people. A blueprint for the future," as the site manager calls it. The Seattle-based company operates the largest fleet of industrial robots in the world, more than a million of them, and many are outfitted with artificial intelligence, helping them to lift, sort, search, weigh and scan. Guided and directed completely by AI. Without the massive use of this technology," says Aaron Parness, a former NASA aerospace engineer who now heads up the retail giant's AI robotic department, we would be a different company." The article you are reading originally appeared in German in issue 41/2025 (October 2nd, 2025) of DER SPIEGEL. Amazon, though, also employs people. But their role is changing rapidly.

But you don't need to go anywhere near as far to prove that they are wrong. As one citizen scientist recently showed, you can prove that the world is round without leaving the comfort of your own home. All you need is a security camera, a garage, and some time to pull off this elegant experiment yourself.
The Download: Big Tech's carbon removals plans, and the next wave of nuclear reactors
Microsoft, JP MorganChase, and a tech company consortium that includes Alphabet, Meta, Shopify, and Stripe have all recently struck multimillion-dollar deals to pay paper mill owners to capture at least hundreds of thousands of tons of this greenhouse gas by installing carbon scrubbing equipment in their facilities. The captured carbon dioxide will then be piped down into saline aquifers more than a mile underground, where it should be sequestered permanently. Big Tech is suddenly betting big on this form of carbon removal, known as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, or BECCS. But experts have raised a number of concerns. Like many new nuclear startups, Kairos promises a path to reliable, 24/7 decarbonized power. Unlike most, it already has prototypes under construction and permits for several reactors.
