The AI Layoff Trap
If AI displaces human workers faster than the economy can reabsorb them, it risks eroding the very consumer demand firms depend on. We show that knowing this is not enough for firms to stop it. In a competitive task-based model, demand externalities trap rational firms in an automation arms race, displacing workers well beyond what is collectively optimal. The resulting loss harms both workers and firm owners. More competition and "better" AI amplify the excess; wage adjustments and free entry cannot eliminate it. Neither can capital income taxes, worker equity participation, universal basic income, upskilling, or Coasian bargaining. Only a Pigouvian automation tax can. The results suggest that policy should address not only the aftermath of AI labor displacement but also the competitive incentives that drive it.

NPR: 'How are you using AI?' Your therapist should ask you that question, experts argue
A paper in JAMA Psychiatry says mental health providers should ask if patients are using artificial intelligence chatbots, just as they would ask patients about sleep habits and substance use.

Ah, see, Adobe has made a mistake here... any student that wants to us AI will have the AI do all the work, why study?
"...Adobe Acrobat has largely catered to professionals with its recent AI features. Now, the company is turning its attention to students by making the Acrobat more useful with the launch of a new AI tool called Acrobat Spaces. The tool will allow students to create presentations, flash cards, and quizzes from study materials such as PDFs, links, and notes...."
michaelmy features published in @CurrentBiology this year, issue 7: looking into the #safety of #AI #technology I found it is already killing humans in Gaza and Iran, so my feature turned out rather depressing I'm afraid. #CW #apocalypse https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-aipocalypse-starts-here.html #science #aipocalypse

Alrighty, that's checked off my list then.
