• Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, warns that AI could wipe out all entry-level white-collar jobs and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next one to five years.

• Amodei believes that AI companies and the government need to stop "sugar-coating" the potential mass elimination of jobs and prepare the nation for the impact of AI on the workforce.

• The CEO suggests possible solutions, including increasing public awareness, slowing down job displacement, and debating policy solutions, such as a "token tax" on AI companies to redistribute wealth and mitigate the negative effects of AI on the economy.

Business Use Cases

Why is this important

• ElevenLabs conversational AI is evolving with new features, including a state-of-the-art turn-taking model to help agents understand when to interrupt

• Language detection has been integrated for seamless multilingual discussions, and a retrieval system has been built for voice agents to access knowledge bases with minimum latency and maximum privacy

• The conversational AI allows for switching between multiple characters in a single agent and offers full HIPAA compliance, third-party integration, and enterprise-grade security

Bottom Line Up Front

• Metaprompting is a powerful tool being used by many, and it involves learning how to communicate effectively with AI agents

• The concept of metaprompting is similar to managing a person, where clear communication is key to making good decisions

• The discussion is based on a survey of over a dozen companies, focusing on prompt engineering and practical tips. Each LLM model has its own personality, with some being more human-steerable and others requiring more steering.

• The principle of Kaizen, which emphasizes continuous improvement, can be applied to working with LLMs and improving the process

Bottom Line Up Front

• DeepSeek has released a "distilled" version of its new R1 AI model, called DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B, which can run on a single GPU.

• The model outperforms comparable models, such as Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash, on certain benchmarks like AIME 2025.

• DeepSeek-R1-0528-Qwen3-8B is available under a permissive MIT license, allowing for commercial use without restriction, and can be accessed through APIs offered by several hosts.

Things to Pay Attention to

Bottom Line Up Front

• According to Angela Duckworth, a Harvard-trained educator, kids who learn to use AI properly can become smarter adults, but they should avoid simply copying and pasting AI-generated answers.

• Duckworth suggests that kids should be taught to use AI as a tool to learn, by asking follow-up questions to understand how AI models arrive at their conclusions.

• Experts like Mark Cuban and Kathy Kristof agree that learning to use AI effectively is a valuable skill, and that it's essential to teach kids to critically evaluate AI-generated information and use it as a tool to augment their own learning and creativity.

Bottom Line Up Front

• OpenAI aims to build ChatGPT into an "AI super assistant" that understands users and serves as their interface to the internet.

• The company plans to evolve ChatGPT into a super-assistant that can perform various tasks, from widely applicable ones like answering questions and managing calendars, to niche tasks like coding.

• OpenAI sees ChatGPT as a potential companion, not just a tool, and believes hardware is essential to its future development.

Bottom Line Up Front

• Telegram has partnered with xAI, Elon Musk's AI company, to integrate the Grok chatbot into the Telegram app.

• xAI will pay Telegram $300 million in cash and equity as part of the deal.

• As a result of this partnership, Telegram's CEO Pavel Durov announced that the company will also earn 50% of the revenue from xAI subscriptions purchased through the Telegram app, in addition to the initial payment.

Bottom Line Up Front

• Meta plans to automate up to 90% of its risk assessments, replacing human evaluators with artificial intelligence to review new features and updates for Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook.

• The change aims to streamline decision-making and allow product developers to release updates more quickly, but current and former Meta employees fear it may lead to higher risks and less rigorous scrutiny of potential harm.

• Meta's automation push will cover sensitive areas including AI safety, youth risk, and integrity, with human expertise still being used for novel and complex issues, according to the company.
