An AI interview is increasingly the first step of a hiring process. Since there's no human on the other end, candidates are scheduling them whenever--even deep into the night. When Tim Millard received an email about interviewing for a media relations job in January, six months into his job hunt, he assumed he'd speak to a human. When he was instead instructed to record himself answering a series of questions on camera, he felt a familiar pang of resignation--one that had followed him throughout the job hunt . "I figured, I have to do this if I want to be considered for the job," Millard tells WIRED.

Image caption, Derbyshire Police has referred a case to the police watchdog over a senior officer's use of AI A senior detective is being investigated over potential artificial intelligence (AI)-related gross misconduct. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said it had started investigating the officer after they were referred to the watchdog by Derbyshire Police following an internal review of their use of AI. The investigation into the force comes two months after a criminal investigation was launched into another officer accused of using AI systems to create evidential material in a number of cases. Derbyshire Police said on Monday it made a voluntary referral to the IOPC on 23 June regarding an officer's use of artificial intelligence. The force said the latest investigation was being independently led by the IOPC and it was unable to comment further.

From branding irons to iris scans, the ancient business of proving who you are has never been stranger--or more lucrative. There are now more bots online than people. The challenge used to be telling who was a person from who was a bot; today, the challenge is telling good bots and bad bots apart--with humanity in the lurch. Three summers ago, Sam Altman, the C.E.O. of OpenAI, posted on X a fifteen-second video of dozens of people--mostly young, veiled in face masks, and wearing super-hip, white-soled sneakers--waiting in a long, snaky line in the traffic-light-lit but otherwise dusky dark of an unnamed city that appears to have been Nagoya, Japan. "Crazy lines around the world," Altman wrote. "One person getting verified every 8 seconds now." In the video, the camera pans to the front of the line, where a woman is kneeling on the sidewalk as if in prayer, staring into a gleaming silver orb about the size of a volleyball that has been propped up on a stand about the height of an end table. It looks like the eyeball of a giant robot Cyclops. She is bowing before an artificially intelligent machine, seeking a certification that she is human. That eyeball, which is known as the Orb, was developed by Tools for Humanity, a San Francisco-and Munich-based tech company that Altman founded in 2019 with a twenty-five-year-old German physicist named Alex Blania, who is now its C.E.O.

What Does the Humbling of Leopold Aschenbrenner Mean for the A.I. Bubble? In the classic book " Manias, Panics, and Crashes: A History of Financial Crises," the economic historian Charles Kindleberger divided episodes of speculation into five stages. Citing the work of Hyman Minsky, the post-Keynesian theorist, Kindleberger writes that the process begins with a displacement, such as the emergence of an important new technology, or a major policy shift, that gets investors excited about the future. They start to bid up asset prices, and capital floods into the affected sector. As optimism spreads, an investment boom--the next stage--develops, much of it facilitated by credit expansion, and the repercussions are felt in the broader economy.

Atlanta has more street cameras per capita than anywhere outside of China. On a walking tour of the city, can anti-surveillance vigilantes spot--and dodge--them all? Austin Kral and Ed Vogel stood in a downtown Atlanta park the other day, preparing to lead what they'd advertised on flyers as a "spy hunt." The spies were the surveillance cameras used by police and the government, "and the corporate vender ecosystem," Vogel said. He had on a black ball cap and a T-shirt that read " = ."
