    What&amp;#39;s going on with AI and jobs? Today we&amp;#39;re launching a new mini-series in Platformer where we fixate on that question — and in our first episode, Box CEO Aaron Levie makes a smart case for why AI probably *won&amp;#39;t* take your job https://www.platformer.news/ai-job-loss-box-ceo-aaron-levie/

    I feel like everyone in the Forkiverse needs to know this: David Byrne has covered Olivia Rodrigo&amp;#39;s Drivers License https://open.spotify.com/track/2MTz9AjGhnRvZi4agwP6BG?si=59432b482ac041ef

    A lot of people have been asking us about our plans for the Forkiverse, so here&amp;#39;s what I can share: as soon as 500 people log on, we&amp;#39;re going to do a big presentation about an opportunity to purchase a time-share

    Meta may be back in the AI race — but the race is speeding up, and its rivals&#39; advantages may be compounding. I wrote about Muse Spark: https://www.platformer.news/meta-muse-spark-ai-race/

    Sometimes Forkizens are a bit too quick to report an account. If someone&amp;#39;s first post is “Hi I&amp;#39;m Melissa and I&amp;#39;m here to meet people and have fun,&amp;quot; we should not automatically assume they are a bot! Let&amp;#39;s maybe give them another post or two before we report them Love, Your mods

    Sam Altman&amp;#39;s deal with the Pentagon seems too good to be true. So what happens when the truth inevitably comes out? https://www.platformer.news/openai-pentagon-surveillance-drones-backlash/
