AI’s biggest champions have argued for some time that the technology will usher in an era of unprecedented productivity gains, richly rewarding workers who harness it while displacing those who don’t. Zeb Evans, CEO of the collaboration software startup ClickUp, claims that this shift is imminent. Last Thursday, Evans announced on X that the company, which was last valued in 2021 at $4 billion, had laid off 22% of its workforce yet characterized that reduction as not a cost-cutting measure, but rather a radical embrace of AI that will propel the company to the next level. “Most savings from this…

NASA announced plans Friday to compete the next contract for managing and operating the agency’s federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) in Southern California at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), to ensure continued accountability and strong value for U.S. taxpayers. The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) has managed the laboratory since its inception in the 1930s, and previous NASA contracts for its management and operations have been awarded sole source to the university since the facility was transferred from the U.S. Army to NASA in 1958. The rapid growth of the U.S. space economy indicates there may now be…

Pope Leo XIV published his first encyclical on Monday, dubbed Magnifica Humanitas, on “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” And while AI is the hook, the problems Leo focuses on are older and more pervasive: inequality, war, the erosion of democracy, and the concentration of power in the hands of those who don’t necessarily care whether humanity writ large remains magnificent. Throughout the 200-page document, which the pope presented alongside Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah, Leo argues that technology built and governed by a small elite cannot, by definition, serve the common good.  “When such power is…

Key Aspects: Arvia and Iona are P&O Cruises’ largest ships, both very similar in size and sister ships in the Excel class. Aurora is the smallest, oldest ship in the P&O fleet, debuting in 2000. Britannia remains P&O Cruises’ flagship, with its classic British style and modest size. With its fleet of just seven ships, P&O Cruises may be small, but this British cruise line (considered to be one of the oldest such brands in the world, with its history traced back to the early 1800s) hardly deserves to be overlooked. From its largest ship, Arvia, to its smallest and oldest ship, Aurora, P&O Cruises delights travelers with its UK stylings, value and fun for both adults-only cruisers and traveling families.  Let’s take a look at P&O cruise ships by…

The European Central Bank has called an emergency meeting for 26 May, summoning major eurozone lenders including US banks with eurozone operations. The trigger was Anthropic’s Claude Mythos Preview model. The underlying issue was evident and highly concerning: AI is now capable of identifying and exploiting software vulnerabilities faster than banks can fix them, and the ECB wanted its banks in a room to talk about it. ECB Governing Council member José Luis Escriá had warned earlier in May that AI-fuelled cyberattacks could expose major weaknesses in global banking. The hastily arranged nature of the meeting suggests that warning has…
