Amazon admits AI is replacing jobs

A leaked internal Amazon email just confirmed what most companies have tiptoed around: AI is replacing human workers. 

The future of white-collar work: The message plainly stated that Amazon’s recent organizational changes were a direct result of AI and warned of more to come. This marks one of the first times a major company has explicitly cited AI as the reason for workforce reductions. Not efficiency, not reorgs, not shifting market needs.

Hinton sounds the alarm: Geoffrey Hinton, the “Godfather of AI,” echoed the message in an interview this week. He warned that mundane intellectual labor (think: call center operators, entry-level analysts, paralegals) is about to be wiped out, and the loss of purpose from job cuts will cause widespread unhappiness.

Reddit unveils AI-driven ad tools to help brands tap into user discussions

Reddit is rolling out a new set of AI tools to help advertisers “understand context” and create campaigns that speak directly to active conversations on the platform. The goal is to let marketers craft messages that feel native, not disruptive, to Reddit’s ecosystem.

What the tools do:

• Surface trending conversations from subreddits

• Generate brand-friendly summaries

• Help write ad copy that mimics the tone of the community

The monetization tightrope. Reddit is positioning this as a win-win: brands get smarter, more contextual tools, and users still get authentic-feeling posts. But as the platform increasingly relies on AI to turn community dialogue into ad dollars, it’s walking a fine line between innovation and alienation.

What’s the prognosis? AI might know

A new AI model developed by researchers at Cedars-Sinai can predict your risk of a future heart attack just by analyzing past CT scans that were already in your medical records.

It reads what doctors miss. The tool uses standard chest CT scans (originally done for other reasons) to assess calcification in arteries. It then applies an AI model trained on 40,000+ scans to detect coronary artery disease, even in patients who were never flagged for heart issues.

It’s a medical breakthrough. The model could help identify millions of at-risk patients early without additional tests. The system works retroactively, meaning hospitals can scan past records and save lives now. Researchers believe it could even predict mortality risk more broadly.
