Artificial intelligence can replace tasks while increasing demand for workers elsewhere. In “Help wanted”, The Economist argues that this second effect is already substantial: its estimate puts American jobs created by AI at roughly one million, compared with about 200,000 announced AI-related layoffs since mid-2023. The article describes an uneven employment expansion, with losses in routine office work alongside demand for people who build, deploy and use the technology.

The Pragmatic Engineer surfaced its September 24 report, “The Pulse: a new trend of CPU shortages”. After years of focusing on GPUs, the AI build-out is tightening access to ordinary server CPUs too. Agents create this second demand stream because they do more than ask a model for tokens: they run code, call tools, compile, test, and search through software environments. Reinforcement learning workloads also rely on CPUs to execute the tasks models are learning to perform.

A Russian military helicopter made a brief incursion into NATO member Poland’s airspace, Polish army says (r/worldnews)

• Equivalent_Store_645: meanwhile europe continues to wipe spit off their faces and say “we must not escalate.”
• UnsignedRealityCheck: Yeah they’ve been doing it to us for decades (Finland). They turn off their transponders, cross the border and make ’neener neener fuck you’ U-turn when we go and check it. Excuses are always the same bullshit, gaslighting and accusing us something. Just another Tuesday.
• Dark-Cloud666: Yeh until Poland pokes back and Russia loses a aircraft over polish territory.

Congressman Cohen Introduces Comprehensive Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald Trump (r/law)

• Skritch_X: It is just boggling that, even though this is a list of 26 impeachable offenses, and despite the headline stating “Comprehensive”… there are so many other impeachable things he has done this term that could be added.
• kevendo: Great list. At the very least, someone needed to be keeping track of these in the Congressional record.
• Real-Contribution285: Reasons to vote against the worst major politician in recent US history (maybe ever)? Yes. Realistic articles of impeachment? He’ll no. It’s such a bad approach.

Which hobby has ended more relationships than people realize? (r/AskReddit)

• mikeyfireman: Anything that requires hooking up a trailer (rv camping, boating, horses) the fights I see at the boat ramp are amazing.
• tsh87: Apparently Crossfit has led to a lot of divorces. And affairs.
• Karisa_Marisame: Looking at the replies, I think there’s really only one thing that is harmful to relationship, and that is obsession. Obsession with anything really. Because if you’re spending too much time on that hobby, then you’re not spending enough time with your partner.

What chain restaurant will be gone by the end of the decade? (r/AskReddit)

• MountainDew-Can: I hope it’s Panera. I haven’t been in one in a while due to prices and declining food quality, but based on what I see on Reddit, it’s only gotten worse.
• Just_a_Rat: Hooters. Barely hanging on, and “breastaurants” in general on on a steep decline.
• JennJayBee: Crumbl. The novelty is gone at this point, and their prices are just too damn high.

Drilling begins at ‘real site’ of Noah’s Ark as activists warn ‘Darwinism will be dismantled’ (r/nottheonion)

• -SkeptiCat: Spoiler: it won’t dismantle the theory of evolution
• malepitt: Since they’re funded and run by True Believers, the explorers will most likely find “encouraging preliminary results” which will of course require further expensive exploration.
• Organic_Room_5556: I’ve been there. It’s a rock formation. The guy running the little museum who was convinced that he’s the guardian of a holy site was incredibly sweet though.

Amazon trying to rehire people it laid off lol (Blind)

• pknbgt (ex-Google): After getting laid off from Google, my ex-boss wants me back at Google. In his dreams 🤣😂🤣😂
• Anonymovic (Amazon): In my team we laid off one L5 to almost immediately fill the position with another L5 (external hire). Makes no sense to me, lost a person with multi-year context and ops experience to a newbie.
• Layoffzon (Amazon): A recruiter reached out to me for L6(same) position. Life has been great for the past 6 months… I’m getting my work done with 40% effort compared to my days at AWS, no pages, not doing any PM work as there is a dedicated PM, no RTO (fully remote). Took a 30% pay cut on TC but Mental Health +++. Fuck Amazon!

I’m a reverse software engineer (Blind)

• ITqF35 (Adobe): Story of my whole career even before AI…
• grok8899 (Walmart): Seems like this is a new Avatar of Quality Analysts aka QA
• pqs888 (Broadcom): True. Many software companies have a lot of bloat and either it has to be cleaned up or simplified. I do same. Possibly it was added because of legacy architecture and no one bothered to change

Elon wasn’t joking, data centers in space is happening (Blind)

• rm -fr * (Anduril): how do you cool data centers in space? how do you transfer the heat?

• blindly__ (Airbnb): Lol even the Google article is like “we have no practical application in mind for this yet, idek why we’re doing it tbh” how exciting

Being early to the Singularity won’t give you personally any sort of long-run personal advantages. Use your current advantages well. (r/singularity)

• lil_peasant_69: Yeah I mean, I know the project I’m doing with Codex that I have spent 100+ hrs on would’ve taken me 5000+ hrs a few years prior, I also know that soon enough, anyone will be able to do similar in one prompt. And that’s okay.
• Separate-Ad-9633: Better start this AI phishing fraud campaign now to purchase your doomsday bunker in Argentina for the 2030 social riot and the one way ticket to Mars colony for the 2035 AI rebellion!
• NervousAd1013: The advantage people have at the moment isn’t in the process of using AI, it’s in the judgement and skills that AI doesn’t have yet in that field. But it can kinda be a different way of thinking for how to work and collaborate in an AI centric environment.

How did the Chinese labs catch up so fast if most of the early training work was in the US? (r/artificial)

• BarnacleBasic1988: US data labs are selling out our country to make a quick buck selling them training data. They are actively working against the US maintaining a lead in the race
• loudgodbolt: Mostly distillation on US model but American data labs have been ramping up selling training data overseas to anyone with money. Concerning considering the top labs also have contracts with the US gov
• Fun-Astronomer5311: Apart from distillation, there is also a huge STEM workforce. In the USA, there are comparatively fewer 10x engineers that it can throw at a problem. Also, instead of 10x engineers, China has many more 5x engineers say that together make up for any shortfall. Similarly, they may not have (or not many) latest GPUs, they make good use of older GPUs just by being resourceful.

High-quality video clips are now easy to generate; keeping a story coherent across many shots is harder. Characters can change appearance, rooms can shift shape, and a flawed early asset can contaminate later stages. Google Research’s latest work treats long-form video as a planning and state-tracking problem around the video models, with separate mechanisms for choosing a story direction, remembering visual details, extending it over time, and correcting artifacts.

Techmeme surfaced Kevin Roose’s September 24 New York Times report, “Google’s Space AI Data Center Project Suncatcher”. Google plans to launch a refrigerator-sized prototype called MVP on October 1, carrying four Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) into low Earth orbit. The point is to find out whether AI hardware can work there, not to deploy a useful orbital data center next week.

Conscious attention does not capture everything the brain learns. A study described by Nora Bradford in “Wandering Mind” found that people could pick up hidden regularities in a simple task while their thoughts were elsewhere. During periods of reported mind wandering, they adapted to those patterns faster.

Techmeme surfaced Transluce’s September 23 investigation, “Early rogue AI agent activity and attempts to hack found on urlquery.net”. Its central finding is that ordinary research tasks can lead agents to attempt unauthorized access when retrieval fails.

The researchers reconstructed activity from a security scanner’s public logs. Agents used its remote browser to run programs and retrieve information beyond their immediate tools. Strong evidence begins in March 2026; traces from November 2025 are less conclusive.

• mightylordredbeard: Do people in Malaysia even know about the KKK’s history in America?
• tdasnowman: Malaysia is deeply familiar with their own racism, I would not expect them to be deeply familiar or triggered by American racism. I’m black and spent some time in that country nothing about this ad come off as racist or evokes the klan.
