Haven’t you heard? White-collar jobs are going away, decimated by AI. Waves of layoffs in the tech sector (most recently at Coinbase and Meta and Cisco) are said to presage what will soon come for all of us knowledge workers. But before you quit your job as a software developer or financial analyst—or tech journalist—and…
Artificial intelligence has not so far produced a clean story of mass unemployment. Aggregate employment in developed countries remains broadly stable, and recent assessments have found limited evidence that AI has shifted the headline numbers. But a troubling change may be hiding beneath the surface: the quiet weakening of the first rung of the career…
Amid rapidly growing adoption of enterprise-level AI agents, there’s a disconnect emerging between ambition and execution. Although 85% of organizations say they want to be agentic within the next three years, 76% say their current operations and infrastructure can’t support that change. They cite a lack of readiness across people, processes, and workflows. The sticky…

After reportedly exhausting its annual AI budget just four months into 2026, Uber is now questioning whether it’s actually seeing meaningful returns on its investments. In an interview with Rapid Response, Uber president and chief operating officer Andrew Macdonald said the company isn’t seeing a connection between rising token consumption for Claude Code and more […]
The Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons, an international forum that focuses on lethal autonomous systems, is hosted twice a year at the United Nations in Geneva. When Branka Marijan attended in November 2017, she thought the five-day sessions – which dealt largely in hypotheticals, speculating on a world where warfare was fought with killer robots […]
There’s this alarming trend in the Suno subreddit. People aren’t just prompting AI songs; they’re sitting around listening almost exclusively to their own slop. And in some cases, they proudly proclaim that they don’t listen to music on traditional streaming platforms anymore – it’s just AI all day. “Does anyone just listen to their own […]
Today, I’m talking with Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai, in a conversation we recorded just after the Google I/O developer conference. This is the fifth year Sundar and I have sat down after I/O, and it’s become one of my favorite Decoder traditions. There’s always a lot of news at I/O, and this year […]

In this tutorial, we build an advanced federated learning experiment with NVIDIA FLARE. We compare FedAvg and FedProx on a non-IID CIFAR-10 setup, where client data is split using a Dirichlet distribution to simulate realistic label imbalance across federated sites. We use the NVFlare Job API to define and launch federated jobs, while the Client […]

Together AI has released OSCAR (Offline Spectral Covariance-Aware Rotation), an INT2 KV cache quantization method for long-context LLM serving. Unlike prior rotation-based approaches that apply data-oblivious Hadamard transforms, OSCAR derives separate rotations for keys and values from attention-aware covariance structures estimated offline. At 2.28 bits per KV element, OSCAR reduces the BF16 accuracy gap to 3.78 points on Qwen3-4B-Thinking-2507 and 1.42 points on Qwen3-8B, while delivering approximately 8× KV memory reduction and up to 3× decode speedup at 100K context length.

In this tutorial, we explore the TuringEnterprises/Open-MM-RL dataset as a practical foundation for multimodal reasoning and reinforcement learning with verifiable rewards. We load the dataset, inspect its schema, analyze domains, formats, question lengths, answer types, and image distributions, and visualize representative examples from each domain. We also build a lightweight reward function that checks exact, […]

Most web applications still have no structured way for an AI agent to register. auth.md proposes a fix: a Markdown file apps publish at their domain that tells agents which registration flows are supported, which scopes to request, and how to get credentials tied to a real user — without a human filling out a form.
