Nascent tech, real fear: how AI anxiety is upending career ambitions

The Guardian

Anxiety over AI replacing entire industries has already pushed people to change course in their classes and career. Anxiety over AI replacing entire industries has already pushed people to change course in their classes and career. Matthew Ramirez started at Western Governors University as a computer science major in 2025, drawn by the promise of a high-paying, flexible career as a programmer. But as headlines mounted about tech layoffs and AI's potential to replace entry-level coders, he began to question whether that path would actually lead to a job. When the 20-year-old interviewed for a datacenter technician role that June and never heard back, his doubts deepened.

The Guardian

The months since leaving the White House have shown that Musk has failed to abandon his political preoccupations. The Tesla CEO once hinted he was done with politics - but he's been leaning further into the international far right When the far-right activist Tommy Robinson emerged from a London courtroom this week after a judge cleared him of a terrorism charge, he gave thanks to the man he said had bankrolled his defense.

Elon Musk Has Turned His Eye to the UK

WIRED

Musk posted nonstop at the beginning of the year about British politics until his focus was consumed by DOGE. Elon Musk loves responding to posts on X with heart emojis.

But this week, Musk sent a heart emoji to Tommy Robinson, the far-right Islamophobic activist from the United Kingdom. Though Musk largely ignored UK politics this year while working in the US government at his so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), he appears to be back across the pond, spending his money and using his platform to elevate far-right extremists.

The US Army Is Using 'CamoGPT' to Purge DEI From Training Materials

WIRED

The United States Army is employing a prototype generative artificial intelligence tool to identify references to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) for removal from training materials in line with a recent executive order from President Donald Trump. Officials at the Army's Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC)--the major command responsible for training soldiers, developing leaders, and shaping the service's guidelines, strategies, and concepts--are currently using the AI tool, dubbed CamoGPT, to "review policies, programs, publications, and initiatives for DEIA and report findings," according to an internal memo reviewed by WIRED. The memo followed Trump's signing of a January 27 executive order entitled, "Restoring America's Fighting Force," which directed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to eliminate all Pentagon policies seen as promoting what that the commander-in-chief declared "un-American, divisive, discriminatory, radical, extremist, and irrational theories" regarding race and gender, a linguistic dragnet that extends as far as past social media posts from official US military accounts. Chris Robinson confirmed the use of CamoGPT to review DEIA materials. "[TRADOC] will fully execute and implement all directives outlined in the Executive Orders issued by the President. We ensure that these directives are carried out with the utmost professionalism, efficiency, and in alignment with national security objectives," Robinson says.

Why Are We Tormented by the Future?

The New Yorker

Not long ago, my six-year-old son was in the bath, building cities out of colorful foam blocks. One metropolis, on the tub's outside edge, was supposed to be based in the present day; another, closer to the wall, was a future city. A third was constructed on a purple rectangle that floated in the water. "It's a fresent city," he said. The fresent--does that sound like a nice place to be?


Did artificial intelligence shape the 2024 US election?

Al Jazeera

Days after New Hampshire voters received a robocall with an artificially generated voice that resembled President Joe Biden's, the Federal Communications Commission banned the use of AI-generated voices in robocalls. The 2024 United States election would be the first to unfold amid wide public access to AI generators, which let people create images, audio and video – some for nefarious purposes. Institutions rushed to limit AI-enabled misdeeds. Sixteen states enacted legislation around AI's use in elections and campaigns; many of these states required disclaimers in synthetic media published close to an election. The Election Assistance Commission, a federal agency supporting election administrators, published an "AI toolkit" with tips election officials could use to communicate about elections in an age of fabricated information.
