‘This is much bigger than Covid’: Hyperwrite CEO Matt Schumer warns AI disruption could hit by year end, threaten white-collar jobs | Trending News

In an essay titled ‘Something Big Is Happening’, Hyperwrite CEO Matt Schumer lays out a blunt, deeply personal take on where artificial intelligence is headed, and why people outside the tech bubble need to start paying attention now. Schumer begins by explaining why he felt compelled to write the piece in the first place. After six years of building an AI startup and investing in the space, he says he’s constantly asked by friends and family to explain what’s really going on. “I’ve spent six years building an AI startup and investing in the space. I live in this world. And I’m writing this for the people in my life who don’t… my family, my friends, the people I care about who keep asking me ‘so what’s the deal with AI?’ and getting an answer that doesn’t do justice to what’s actually happening,” he wrote, adding that the answer he usually gives them is a polite “cocktail-party version”. This time, he decided to skip the simplified version and speak plainly about what he believes is …

Ghooskhor Pandat row: Protestors burn Manoj Bajpayee, Neeraj Pandey’s effigies, threaten to blacken their faces

The controversy around Neeraj Pandey’s upcoming film, Ghooskhor Pandat, has spilled onto the streets as well, with protests against the film’s allegedly offensive title across the country. In many places, effigies of producer Pandey and the film’s lead actor Manoj Bajpayee were burnt. The film has been accused of defaming the Brahmin community by associating the word ‘ghooskhor’ (corrupt) with Pandat, a colloquial term for Brahmins or Hindu priests.

Petrol pump dealers in Manipur threaten to shut operations over extortion demands

Image used for representational purposes only. | Photo Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto Petrol pump dealers in Manipur said they would have to suspend operations if the government fails to take action against extortion demands by the end of this week. In a statement, the Manipur Petroleum Dealers Fraternity (MPDF) said they were deeply disappointed that the government has taken no concrete action regarding their security, even as a memorandum about it was submitted to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla on December 10. Manipur has been under President’s Rule since February after Chief Minister N. Biren Singh resigned amid criticisms of his government’s handling of the ethnic clashes that broke out in May 2023. Taking advantage of the ongoing crisis, various militant outfits have been targeting local businesses, including petrol pumps, for extortion. Hundreds of members of such outfits have been arrested in connection with extortion demands so far. The MPDF, in the memorandum, had sought urgent intervention of the Governor against what it described as escalating threats to life and property. “The memorandum submitted to the Hon’ble …

Sonia Gandhi slams govt; says Forect Act amendments threaten Aravalli range

Sonia Gandhi slams govt; says Forect Act amendments threaten Aravalli range

Congress parliamentary party chairperson Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday claimed that since coming to power, the Modi government has displayed a particularly “venal streak of cynicism” in relation to environmental protection, while alleging that it has now “nearly signed a death warrant” for Aravalli hills. She demanded that the government must withdraw the amendments it “bulldozed” through Parliament in the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980 as well as the Forest Conservation Rules (2022). Gandhi said the government`s declaration that any hills in the Aravalli range with an elevation of less than 100 metres are not subject to the structures against mining is an open invitation for illegal miners and mafias to finish off 90&#37 of the range which falls below the height limit set. “The Aravalli range, which runs from Gujarat through Rajasthan and till Haryana, has long played a significant role in Indian geography and history. It has served as a barrier to the spread of desertification from the Thar Desert to the Gangetic Plains, guarded Rajasthan`s proudest forts such as Chittorgarh and Ranthambore, and served …

How deep-sea mining could threaten a vital ocean food source

How deep-sea mining could threaten a vital ocean food source

The race to mine battery minerals from the ocean floor would create a new stream of waste that could rob sea life of a critical food source, according to new research published today in the journal Nature Communications. That could have far-reaching effects across the ocean, potentially reaching larger fish like tuna that people depend on for food and livelihoods. The findings come as President Donald Trump attempts to circumvent international law and give companies permission to mine the deep sea commercially, which has yet to happen anywhere in the world. The first company to apply for an international mining permit from the Trump administration actually funded this study. It might not have anticipated that the results of that research would raise another warning flag about deep-sea mining. The study authors found that if mining operations release waste into the ocean’s “twilight zone,” about 200 to 1,500 meters below the surface of the sea, it could starve tiny animals called zooplankton and other creatures that eat them. That could have serious ramifications along entire food …

Hackers threaten to leak ‘woke’ University of Pennsylvania student data

Hackers threaten to leak ‘woke’ University of Pennsylvania student data

“We got hacked,” members of the University of Pennsylvania community were told in the subject line of several emails sent from addresses linked to its Graduate School of Education. The sender, apparently, was the potential hacker or hackers themselves. “The University of Pennsylvania is a dogshit elitist institution full of woke retards,” said the emails, which were received by several alumni including a Verge author who attended the University of Pennsylvania. “We have terrible security practices and are completely unmeritocratic. We hire and admit morons because we love legacies, donors, and unqualified affirmative action admits. We love breaking federal laws like FERPA (all your data will be leaked) and Supreme Court rulings like SFFA. Please stop giving us money.” The apparent hacker or hackers referenced the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, which protects the privacy of students’ personal information that’s shared with schools. SFFA appears to refer to Students for Fair Admissions, the group that was at the forefront of the Supreme Court ruling that struck down race-based affirmative action for college admissions. Penn …
