AI Aims At Amazon

PRESENTED BY SUPERHUMAN AI

Happy Thursday, party people. The longtime owners of the Los Angeles Lakers, The Buss Family, have just sold a majority stake in the franchise to Mark Walter for $10 billion. So, if you've been sitting on a basketball team for a while, now might be the time to sell…

Americans’ primary source of news is now social media.

The Front Page: 54% of Americans get news from social media platforms like Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, and X, while only about 50% get news from mainstream sources like CBS, ABC, or Fox, according to a Reuters survey. This shift is occurring globally but nowhere faster than in the US.

The Small Print: Social media has become such an influential source of news that many politicians now prioritize it over mainstream news outlets.

Back Matter: Despite this trend, nearly half the people surveyed globally said they believed social media was “a major source of false or misleading information.” And while people — especially young people — are increasingly relying on AI chatbots to get news, almost everyone agrees that AI spreads disinformation and degrades the quality of news, preferring trusted outlets with long histories of integrity.

Prediction: Expect faith in news and news outlets to continue to fracture and for public perception of AI in news to degrade even further.

Programmers have begun coding themselves out of a job.

The Big Picture: In a recent company-wide address, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy explained that the efficiency gains forecast by generative AI are so significant that Amazon will make major reductions to its workforce in the coming years. The jobs AI created are already gone, but it’s about to take many more away.

Between the Lines: Jassy euphemistically explained that Amazon’s workers are victims of their own success.

Conclusion: Forget Amazon and even Big Tech: these cuts are happening everywhere. Generative AI has only strengthened corporate America’s belief in ruthless efficiency, even while more than half of employers regret replacing their employees with AI. Unless powerful entities realign their priorities away from profit, these cuts will likely continue.

Prediction: Even Big Tech may sour on AI if cuts persist, especially if AI continues to output a lower quality of work than the human laborers it replaces.
