"The numbers show that layoffs in the U.S. are roughly at or below levels from before the pandemic," reports the Washington Post, "although they are higher than in 2022 when businesses snapped up workers as the economy roared back to life...
"A different measure that accounts for the growing U.S. workforce shows that layoffs affected about 1.2% of employed people in March, a number that has been steady for years outside of the pandemic..."
In the technology industry, where Meta and other companies are regularly announcing job cuts, the layoff picture is complex. There has been a marked increase in layoffs in recent months in what the Labor Department calls the information industry, which includes employment of software developers and other tech workers. But Matthew Martin, senior U.S. economist at the research and consulting firm Oxford Economics, noted that hiring has also increased in that category, which includes media and entertainment. The combination of hiring minus layoffs in the information industry is effectively a wash, Martin said. Layoffs at Big Tech companies like Meta and other high-profile employers don't necessarily reflect what is happening in the country, Martin said, and draw far more attention than what may be slow and steady workforce growth. "There's a lot more headlines about job cuts than there are [about] expansion plans by businesses," he said.
In his view, technology companies may be pushing out some workers and replacing them with people who have different skills as they respond to the demands of AI. It's true that businesses in some industries are devoting enormous sums of money and attention to AI. It's changing how some people work and a minority of American businesses are rolling out AI tools. But it's also become a trend for bosses to blame layoffs on the productive capabilities of AI and its ability to replace workers, even when job cuts may have little to do with the technology. Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, has taken note of the pattern that he and others call "AI washing," essentially a high-tech form of whitewashing... "You know something is happening all the time when they have a word for it," said Gautam Mukunda, who teaches leadership at the Yale School of Management...
AI-related employment changes are tiny so far, said Nathan Goldschlag, director of research at the Economic Innovation Group, a Washington think tank. He pointed to a recently published analysis of Census Bureau surveys, which found more than 95 percent of businesses that use AI said it hasn't changed their staff sizes — and AI-related employment increases were more common than decreases.
On Friday TechCrunch reported they could no longer Google the word "disregard".
Google's AI Overview responded "Understood. Let me know whenever you have a new prompt or question!" below an icon for hearing the word "disregard" pronounced — then displayed several inches of blank whitespace.
"The Merriam-Webster link is still in there, but you have to scroll..."
Earlier this week, Google rolled out a completely new Search experience, foregrounding AI summaries and kicking the traditional "10 blue links" far down the page. But the sheer scale of Google Search means there are lots of edge cases that the company doesn't seem to have considered...
Google has been catching some flack on social media for this, and it's easy to see why... For most users, that single reply is the only thing you'll see. And crucially, the AI response serves no conceivable value to a user searching the word "disregard." It's just a broken tool.
Google appears to have fixed the issue — sort of.
Now Googling the word "disregard" brings up a list of news stories about how Google's AI Overviews misinterpreted the word disregard in search queries.
The Washington Post looks at arguments that "AI's coming upheaval may demand massive infusions of cash to everyday Americans". But they also look at some of the alternatives:
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called for similar public-relief measures, including, potentially, universal basic income, or UBI. Eventually "our current economic setup will no longer make sense," he wrote in a blog post, adding that "there will be a need for a broader societal conversation about how the economy should be organized."
Though OpenAI CEO Sam Altman once championed universal basic income, he has since embraced a new structure where the public has "collective ownership" of aspects of AI, according to Business Insider. "I think any version of the future that I can get really excited about means that everybody's got to participate in the upside," he said in a recent podcast interview. In April, OpenAI laid out a set of policy proposals aiming to address the coming upheaval, referencing the transition to the industrial age and the New Deal as points of comparison for what's on the horizon...
But some experts question whether tech billionaires, who spent decades resisting regulation, unions and higher taxes, would support the kind of massive redistribution such programs would require. "The only way to pay for UBI is to massively tax those enormously rich people who own the UBI machines," said Jesse Rothstein, a professor of public policy and economics at the University of California at Berkeley who served as chief economist at the U.S. Department of Labor. "It's a nice surprise to hear Elon Musk advocating for that...." Rothstein co-authored a study in 2019 that estimated granting a small income to the entire country would cost a massive amount — nearly double the total spending of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. To issue payments of $12,000 a year to U.S. adults, for example, "would require nearly doubling federal tax revenues," according to the paper...
Economists appear to broadly support other solutions beyond redistribution, such as job retraining. A working paper published this spring by the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago showed economists support more narrowly tailored solutions to the economic disruption. In late April, Meta appeared to embrace that path, announcing "a multi-year initiative that provides free, rapid training to turn thousands of Americans with no prior experience into high-paid fiber technicians" for projects including data centers.
Key quotes from the article:
Elon Musk said in an X post that "Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI."
"I think it's a marketing tactic" responded Scott Santens, a universal basic income advocate and is CEO of the nonprofit Income to Support All Foundation. He argued to the Washington Post that Musk's comment is "trying to thread this needle of, 'I want to solve this stuff that will potentially put a lot of people out of work.' And how do you avoid people getting really [angry] at that? Okay, well, you're still going to get money, everything will be great it's just you won't have to work anymore...."
The article also cites a recent commentary from Jay W. Richards, a senior research fellow and VP of social and domestic policy at the Heritage Foundation. "The new AI prophets of doom suffer from a failure of imagination. They simply cannot envision what work the future will bring, so they conclude it will bring none,"
An anonymous reader quotes a report from Billboard: Spotify and Universal Music Group (UMG) announced a licensing deal for recorded music and publishing rights, enabling Spotify to launch generative AI music models in the future. With this deal, Spotify's models will allow fans to create covers and remixes of their favorite songs from participating artists and songwriters signed to UMG. The new deal was announced on Thursday (May 21) as part of Spotify's Investor Day presentation, and the company touts that it will open up additional revenue streams on top of what artists already earn on Spotify and will provide new discovery opportunities for participating UMG talent. These AI products will eventually become available to premium users as a paid add-on. It is unclear when they are set to launch. "We recognize there's a wide range of views on use of generative music tools within the artistic community," the announcement read. "Therefore, artists and rightsholders will choose if and how to participate to ensure the use of AI tools aligns with the values of the people behind the music."
Spotify also announced a feature called "Reserved" that will set aside concert tickets for Premium subscribers it identifies as an artist's most dedicated fans. "Getting concert tickets today can feel like a race you're set up to lose," Spotify wrote in a post on Thursday. "You show up at the right time, refresh endlessly, and still miss out. Too often, the experience is stressful, unpredictable, and disconnected from what should matter most: whether real fans actually get tickets. We think there's a better way."
Trump called off a planned AI executive order just hours before a signing ceremony because he said he was worried the framework could slow America's lead over China. "We're leading China, we're leading everybody, and I don't want to do anything that's going to get in the way of that lead," Trump told reporters. The Associated Press reports: The order would have established a framework for the government to vet the national security risks of the most advanced AI systems before their public release, according to a person familiar with the White House's deliberations with the tech industry but not authorized to speak about it publicly. The directive was being characterized as a voluntary collaboration with participating U.S.-based tech companies, including Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, the person said.
There are competing factions within the administration, said Serena Booth, a computer science professor at Brown University and former AI policy fellow in a Democratic-led Senate committee. "We do see this kind of public fighting," she said. "'We will release an executive order. No, we won't. We're going to sign it this afternoon. Oh, the signing is canceled.' I think this whiplash is because we're seeing these fractures.'"
Some of those divides are balancing what Booth said is a "reasonable idea" to test the most capable AI models before their public release, with a concern that government scrutiny, if it takes too long, could burden AI developers. "It does come at a potential very large cost to innovation and speed of development," she said. "There is, I think, a real risk here and I do see both sides." [...]
"They don't want to do it because it's politically risky in a million different ways," said Dean Ball, now at the Foundation for American Innovation. Ball said he would welcome an executive order that would get those companies working more closely with the government on cybersecurity but "ultimately, I'm fine with them taking time to get this right."
An anonymous reader quotes a report from TechCrunch: OpenAI claims its new reasoning model has produced an original mathematical proof disproving a famous unsolved conjecture in geometry, which was first posed by Paul Erdos in 1946. If this sounds familiar to you, it's because this isn't the first time OpenAI has made such a bold claim. Seven months ago, the AI giant's former VP Kevin Weil posted on X: "GPT-5 found solutions to 10 (!) previously unsolved Erds problems and made progress on 11 others."
It turns out, GPT-5 didn't actually solve those problems; it just found solutions that already existed in the literature. Taunts from rivals like Yann LeCun and Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis followed, and Weil promptly took down his premature post. Today, at least, it seems OpenAI didn't make the same mistake twice. Alongside the announcement, the company published companion remarks (PDF) in support of the disproof from mathematicians like Noga Alon, Melanie Wood, and Thomas Bloom, who maintains the Erdos Problems website, and previously called Weil's post "a dramatic misrepresentation."
[...] The proof, per OpenAI, came from a new general-purpose reasoning model, not a system specifically designed to solve math problems or even this problem in particular. OpenAI says this is significant because it means AI systems are now more capable of holding together long, difficult chains of reasoning and connecting ideas across fields in ways researchers may not have previously explored. That has implications for biology, physics, engineering, and medicine.
OpenAI s’apprêterait à déposer confidentiellement son dossier d’introduction en Bourse aux États-Unis, avec une IPO potentiellement prévue dès septembre 2026, rapporte Reuters le 20 mai 2026. Une opération historique qui pourrait raviver la rivalité entre Sam Altman et Elon Musk, alors que SpaceX prépare elle aussi son arrivée sur les marchés.
Le 20 mai 2026, OpenAI a affirmé qu’un de ses modèles d’IA avait contribué à réfuter une conjecture mathématique formulée par Paul Erdős en 1946. Le problème consiste à déterminer combien de paires de points peuvent être placées exactement à distance 1 dans un plan.
The 2026 Commonwealth Short Story Prize is facing backlash after several winning entries were accused of being AI-generated, with one Caribbean winner's story flagged as fully AI-written by a detector that WIRED says it independently confirmed. From the report: Each year, the Commonwealth Foundation, a nongovernmental organization in London, awards its short story prize to one writer in each of five regions: Africa, Asia, Canada and Europe, the Caribbean, and the Pacific. One overall winner is then selected from that short list. Regional winners take home [about $3,350], while the top winner, to be announced next month, claims [about $6,700]. On May 12, the respected UK literary magazine Granta published the top five 2026 entries -- all previously unpublished, per the rules of the contest -- on its website. (It has hosted the winning submissions for the prize since 2012.) Within days, however, one entry aroused suspicion. "The Serpent in the Grove," a story by Jamir Nazir of Trinidad and Tobago, which had taken honors for the Caribbean region, struck a few people as bearing the stylistic tells of AI-generated text.
"Well, this is a first: a ChatGPT-generated story won a prestigious literary prize," wrote researcher and entrepreneur Nabeel S. Qureshi, a former visiting scholar of AI at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, in a post on X on Monday. "'Not X, not Y, but Z' sentences everywhere, the 'hums' trope, and plenty of other obvious markers of AI writing. A major milestone for AI, at any rate..." "They say the grove still hums at noon," Nazir's mysterious and atmospheric tale begins. In his screenshot of the opening paragraphs, Quereshi highlighted the second line as what he considered to be a signature example of AI syntax: "Not the bees' neat industry or the clean rasp of cutlass on vine, but a belly sound -- as if the earth swallows a shout and holds it there."
As the literary community undertook a closer read of Nazir's story, many criticized its language and metaphors as nonsensical, wondering how the Commonwealth judges could have seen any merit to them. Others shared screenshots showing that the AI-detection tool Pangram flagged "The Serpent in the Grove" as 100 percent AI-generated, a result that WIRED independently confirmed. (While no AI-detection software is perfect, third-party analysis has consistently determined Pangram to be the most accurate, with a near-zero rate of false positives.)
[...] Besides Nazir, two more winning authors have drawn allegations of using AI in their work. Pangram finds that "The Bastion's Shadow," by Maltese writer John Edward DeMicoli, winner for the Canada and Europe region, is fully AI-generated; it scans "Mehendi Nights," by Indian writer Sharon Aruparayil, winner for the Asia region, as partly AI-generated. Neither DeMicoli nor Aruparayil immediately returned requests for comment when reached through their respective social media accounts. The other two short-listed stories, by Holly Ann Miller of New Zealand and Lisa-Anne Julien of South Africa, deliver "fully human-written" results from Pangram. Wired also reports that one of the judges for the prize has been "accused of using AI to craft her descriptive blurb that accompanied the listing of 'The Serpent in the Grove' as a regional winner.'" Pangram labels the text as "AI-assisted."
OpenAI propose désormais aux entreprises de réserver sa puissance de calcul sur plusieurs années, une offre qui répond à une pénurie de GPU que la société reconnaît elle-même.
En attirant l'un des profils les plus reconnus de l'IA mondiale, Anthropic envoie un signal qui dépasse la compétition pour les talents : elle parie sur l'automatisation de sa propre recherche.
Google is giving its iconic search box its first major redesign since 2001. The new design incorporates, you guessed it, artificial intelligence, "getting bigger and more interactive so that people can ask even longer questions and upload photographs and videos into queries," reports the New York Times. "In addition, people can ask follow-up questions with a chatbot on Google's main search page." From the report: The company will also offer digital assistants, known as agents, to automate searches so that someone who may be apartment hunting can be notified of a new listing without opening a real estate site like Zillow. The search features will be powered by a new artificial intelligence model, Gemini 3.5 Flash. Google said the model had improved on creating software code and performing autonomous tasks, worked faster and was less expensive to run than comparable models.
[...] Google is also bringing one of A.I.'s biggest breakthroughs -- software coding -- to search. When people research complex topics like astrophysics, Gemini can build interactive graphics and simulations behind the scenes to provide a deeper answer than its previous listing of websites. Google said it was introducing an alternative to the agents powered by Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Called Gemini Spark, the service is embedded in Gmail, Docs and other Google products, where it can turn meeting notes spread across emails and chats into a single document. It can also read and draft emails. "The open web is on its way out," says Richard Kramer, a financial analyst with Arete Research. "With A.I., Google is reducing everyone to raw data providers."

Coup de théâtre dans le duel judiciaire de l'année. Le jury a balayé la plainte du milliardaire contre Sam Altman pour une simple question de prescription légale. Elon Musk s'est réveillé beaucoup trop tard, mais il annonce déjà sa riposte en appel.

Amazon is adding AI-generated "podcasts" to Alexa+, letting users request custom audio explainers on any topic featuring two synthetic co-hosts. Variety reports: Seemingly to dispel the notion that these "podcasts" will be AI audio slop, Amazon emphasized that it has deals with major news organizations to ensure "accurate, real-time news and information." Those include the Associated Press, Reuters, the Washington Post, Time magazine, Forbes, Business Insider, Politico and USA Today; publications from Conde Nast, Hearst and Vox Media; and more than 200 local newspapers across the U.S.
In an example clip shared by Amazon of the new Alexa Podcasts feature, the two AI-generated hosts discuss "the latest music releases." A male Alexa+ narrator says more than 50% of music listening now comes from unsigned artists. "The monoculture is just gone," a female-voiced Alexa+ narrator chimes in. The male Alexa+ host says there has been "stoner metal," indie pop and experimental hip-hop music "all dropping on the same Friday," and adds, "That's not chaos -- that's the healthiest the music ecosystem has ever been."
[...] To use Alexa Podcasts, users can simply tell Alexa what topic they're curious about and "it does the rest in minutes." Alexa+ will provide an overview of what it plans to cover, and let you adjust the length and direction before it generates the podcast. When your episode is ready, you'll get a notification on your Echo Show device and the Alexa app.

Quand Volkswagen nous a conviés à essayer une partie de sa gamme, nous avons d’abord demandé la liste des voitures. On a vu « Golf GTI Edition 50 », on n’a pas hésité une seconde. Dans un monde où plus de deux autos sur trois testées dans la rubrique sont électrifiées, nous n’allions pas rater l’occasion de prendre le volant d’une compacte sportive 100% thermique. Le monde d’avant nous manquera…
50 ans bien célébrés!
La Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 reprend tous les codes de la compacte sportive comme on les aime, et qui devient une denrée de plus en plus rare pour les raisons que l’on connaît. Et cela commence d’abord par le look, assez proche de celui de la Clubsport. Et pour ne rien gâcher, notre exemplaire dispose du pack « GTI Performance ». En cochant cette option, on profite de jantes spécifiques plus légères, d’un échappement Akrapovič également allégé, ainsi que de pneus semi-slicks Bridgestone Potenza Race. On peut donc considérer que le constructeur ne s’est pas contenté de coller quelques stickers et de souffler des bougies.
Même si l’image d’une Golf sportive est parfois maladroitement associée au profil d’un jeune conducteur intrépide, pour le dire ainsi, nous savons que celle-ci en particulier vaut bien mieux que cela. On a bien conscience que le grand public ne ferait sans doute pas la différence sur la route. Toujours est-il qu’elle a un sacré look. Entre son large bouclier alvéolé, les étriers de frein rouges et le becquet, pour ne citer que ces éléments, tous ces détails contribuent à lui donner une allure franchement badass, surtout dans ce coloris. En tout cas, nous, on adore.
Du sport et des technologies
À bord, Wolfsburg a aussi voulu marquer la différence avec les autres versions de GTI du catalogue. Il y en aura d’ailleurs 50, et pas une de plus, sur notre territoire. On retrouve à l’intérieur les palettes de la R de 333 ch. Pour le reste, la sellerie vintage rappelle ce que vous savez. On note aussi un pédalier rouge. Des touches de la même couleur se retrouvent ici et là dans l’habitacle, ainsi qu’une inscription « GTI 50 » à la base du volant. On connaît déjà le confort de ces sièges, à la fois très agréables et au maintien irréprochable. Ils sont également accompagnés de ceintures rouges. Cette couleur, on l’a bien compris, est indissociable de la griffe GTI maison.
Sincèrement, on se sent plutôt bien à l’intérieur de cette sportive. Elle ne boude pas non plus un certain embourgeoisement, plutôt bienvenu dans l’automobile actuelle. On retrouve ainsi tous les équipements modernes de la compacte routière en bonus : ADAS sophistiqués, dont une conduite semi-autonome de niveau 2, un grand écran avec toute la connectivité attendue sur une auto de ce segment et de ce niveau. En outre, on peut monter assez confortablement à quatre, beaucoup moins à cinq. Avec un coffre à la contenance relativement moyenne, on peut néanmoins envisager cette Golf GTI Edition 50 comme voiture de tous les jours.
325 ch! Juste 8 de moins que la « R »
Pouvoir emmener les enfants en classe verte avec cette voiture ? Vous vous en moquez. Sauf si cela vous laisse l’opportunité de rentrer à vide après les avoir déposés. Et c’est là que l’intérêt de cette voiture prend tout son sens. Il y a d’abord ce moteur, le 2.0 TSI maison, reprogrammé par les sorciers de Wolfsburg pour délivrer 325 ch et 420 Nm de couple, des valeurs supérieures à celles de la Clubsport. Le 0 à 100 km/h est abattu en 5,3 s (-0,3 s) et la vitesse de pointe grimpe à 270 km/h. On ne va pas tourner autour du pot, le bloc est plein comme un œuf ! En revanche, même si Akrapovič s’est impliqué sur l’échappement, on regrette une sonorité peu démonstrative, quel que soit le mode.
Nous n’avons pas essayé le programme « Nürburgring », a priori calibré spécifiquement pour cette piste mythique. En revanche, le mode Sport nous a paru parfaitement approprié pour avaler les lacets de notre parcours entre Séville et le Portugal. Cela nous manquait de faire prendre des tours à un moteur ! Les rapports de la DSG s’enchaînent quasiment sans rupture, tandis que l’aiguille du tachymètre à l’écran s’affole. Était-ce vraiment nécessaire d’accompagner les montées en régime d’un son diffusé dans les haut-parleurs ? On n’en est pas sûrs. Toujours est-il que le moteur ne manque pas de souffle. On peut bien entendu reprendre la main sur la boîte, mais il faut reconnaître qu’elle fait très bien le travail lorsqu’on la laisse faire. On se demande bien ce qu’il reste à la R…
Béni pack GTI Performance
Pour accompagner ce caractère moteur, contrairement à bien des électriques gavées de puissance, on bénéficie ici d’un châssis à la hauteur, qui permet de profiter pleinement de la cavalerie, ou l’inverse. Tout d’abord, la Golf GTI Edition 50 équipée du pack Performance est abaissée de 5 mm par rapport à une GTI « normale ». La suite se joue dans les réglages d’amortissement, dont on vous épargne les détails. L’allègement évoqué plus haut participe également à ce comportement sportif exacerbé. Il faut néanmoins s’assurer d’avoir des gommes bien chaudes avant que la route ne se transforme littéralement en rail. On a le sentiment de maîtriser parfaitement l’auto, compte tenu de la précision du train avant.
Et lorsqu’on enfonce l’accélérateur en sortie de virage, le différentiel électronique piloté tire la voiture vers l’intérieur, ce qui limite l’élargissement de trajectoire, classique sur les tractions puissantes. Sur asphalte sec, grâce à ce dispositif sophistiqué, et avec des gommes très performantes, la motricité est imperturbable. Il faut tout de même bien tenir le volant et rester vigilant. Sur route, nous n’avons pas eu à nous plaindre des freins. La pédale finit par s’enfoncer légèrement si les lignes droites sont courtes, mais rien d’anormal. La question se poserait peut-être sur circuit, à vérifier.
Méchant malus…
Il faut saluer la capacité des concepteurs d’une voiture comme celle-ci à mettre sur la route une auto aussi rapide et accessible pour des conducteurs qui ne sont pas des pilotes aguerris. L’esprit attendu est bien présent, avec une optimisation liée au pack Performance qui satisfera les plus exigeants. Avec 173 g de CO2/km, le malus n’est pas maximal… mais il atteint tout de même près de 30 000 €. Au final, il faut débourser un peu plus de 96 000 € pour se l’offrir chez nous.
John Lennon's last interview — just hours before he was shot on December 8, 1980 — has become a documentary directed by Steven Soderbergh, debuting Saturday at the Cannes Film Festival.
In a new interview with the Associated Press, Soderbergh defends the film's limited use of AI to visualize concepts from that two-hour interview with John Lennon and Yoko Ono:
Soderbergh was resolved to let the audio play. He could finds ways to visualize much of the film, but that still left a large gap where the conversation grows more philosophical. "I worked on everything that could be solved except that for as long as I could," Soderbergh says. "Then there was the inevitable moment of: OK, but really what are we going to do? We just started playing and ran out of time and money. That's where the Meta piece came in." Soderbergh accepted an offer to use Meta's artificial intelligence software to conjure surreal imagery for those sections, which make up about 10% of the film.
When Soderbergh let the news out earlier this year, it prompted an uproar. One of America's leading filmmakers was using AI? In a film about a Beatle, no less? The AI parts (overwhelmingly slammed by critics in Cannes) are fairly banal and don't differ greatly from special effects — there are no deepfakes of Lennon. But they put Soderberg at the forefront of an industrywide debate about the uses of AI in moviemaking. It's a conversation the director, who has made movies on iPhones, is eager to have.
While the film follows John and Yoko's conversation, "I needed a way to follow them in flight visually," Soderbergh says, "or I'm not doing my job." Though when asked about the strong negative reaction, Soderbergh acknowleges that "I knew what was coming. I take it very seriously, and I understand why people have an emotional response to this subject. As I've said before, I feel like I owe people the best version of whatever art I'm trying to make and total transparency about how I'm doing it."
AP: Some fear generative AI will tear apart the film industry. You don't see it as a bogeyman, though.
SODERBERGH: I think most jobs that matter when you're making a movie cannot be performed by this tech and never will be performed by this tech. As it becomes possible for anybody to create something that meets a certain standard of technical perfection, then imperfection becomes more valuable and more interesting. We haven't seen yet someone with a certain amount of creative credibility go full-metal AI on something, and see how people react. I think it's necessary. How do you know where the line is until somebody crosses it?
"I don't think what I'm doing crosses it. Some people may disagree. I don't know where my line is yet. I'm waiting to see...
