Want to know what happens when you build a startup with 5 AI agents?

You can read all about that in the hilarious “All of My Employees Are AI Agents, and So Are My Executives” by Evan Ratliff in @Wired www.wired.com/story/all-my...

In my keynotes I always highlight how demographics can make or break your business strategy. Simply because the European workforce is declining.

This is an excellent article about the American outlook.

The Netherlands delays implementation of the EU Pay Transparency Directive.

I have so many questions!

1. Can a country unilaterally decide to ignore the deadlines of a EU Directive? Legal experts, please chime in!

2. What does this mean for countries that haven’t even published a first draft?

AI medical tools found to downplay symptoms of women, ethnic minorities
Bias-reflecting LLMs lead to inferior medical advice for female, Black, and Asian patients.

you’re running OpenAI.

You need revenue stat.

Say you want to sell ads.

So you need people data.

What do you?

Well, you start a job platform.

Here’s why that is a strategic win-win-win and allows you to replace people with #AI agents too.

Why OpenAI’s Job Platform Isn’t About Jobs
When OpenAI announced their plans to launch a jobs platform and certification program last week, most people focused on the wrong question: Can they disrupt the hiring industry? So did I.

I’ve always wondered why most industries must prove extensively that their products do no harm while tech is exempt.

@matthewhughes.bsky.social has some ideas how to fix that.

Tech oligarchs oppose the idea of any supposedly undeserving person getting financial help from the government in 2025. But they want you to believe they’ll give *everyone* free money in the future.

It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s the techno-utopian lie they will keep selling.
