Hand-picked News
The second massive cut proves AI-driven restructuring isn't a one-time event.
30,000 total jobs slashed since October as Amazon doubles down on "reducing layers" and "removing bureaucracy" across the company
CEO Andy Jassy already warned last year that AI will require fewer people for existing jobs and more for new types of roles
Despite the cuts, Amazon claims it'll keep hiring in "strategic areas" while closing physical Go and Fresh stores to pivot harder into same-day delivery
Amazon now employs 1.57 million people (as of Q3 2025), but execs won't promise this is the last round. Senior VP Beth Galetti says they're not planning "broad reductions every few months," but every team will keep evaluating speed and capacity. Translation: more cuts could come whenever leadership decides another layer needs trimming.
⚠️ Why this matters: This is what AI-era workforce transformation actually looks like. Not a clean pivot, but rolling waves of restructuring as companies figure out which roles AI can automate and which it can't. If you're in tech, "strategic areas" is the only safe zone right now.
The race for casual AI users is officially on, and Google's betting mid-tier pricing will win the masses.
AI Plus gives you Gemini 3 Pro + 200GB storage for $7.99/month in the US (even cheaper in emerging markets like India at $4.44), putting advanced AI tools within reach of budget-conscious creators
You can share plan benefits with 5 family members, making it insanely cost-effective if you split it (that's like $1.60/person for AI access)
Google One Premium 2TB subscribers get upgraded automatically over the next few days, no action needed
After quietly testing in 40+ countries since September, Google is now going head to head with OpenAI's ChatGPT Go plan (also $8/month). Both companies are playing the same game: hook the "casual but curious" users before they commit to $20/month pro plans. There's a 50% off promo for your first two months if you jump in now.
✅ Why this matters: The $8 price point isn't random. It's the new battleground for AI adoption. Companies aren't just fighting for power users anymore, they want everyone paying something. Expect more tiered pricing wars as AI becomes as normalized as Netflix subscriptions.
Quick tip for creators: If you're already paying for Google storage or using Gemini occasionally, this is a no-brainer upgrade. The family sharing alone makes it cheaper than most solo subscriptions, and you get NotebookLM research tools + Veo filmmaking AI bundled in.
ChatGPT gets 8.4 million science queries weekly, so OpenAI built them a proper lab.
Free for any ChatGPT user and deeply integrated with GPT-5.2, Prism acts like Cursor for scientists with LaTeX support, diagram generation from whiteboard sketches, and full research context awareness
AI models already proved multiple Erdos problems and established new statistical theory proofs with minimal human input (just prompting and verification)
The killer feature: when you open ChatGPT inside Prism, it can access your entire research project for responses that actually understand what you're working on
OpenAI's VP of Science predicts "2026 will be for AI and science what 2025 was for AI and software engineering." They're not exaggerating. A December paper showed GPT-5.2 Pro establishing new proofs for core statistical axioms with researchers only guiding and checking. Prism packages this power into a cleaner workflow so scientists don't need to be prompt engineers.
👀 Why this matters: We're past the "can AI do research?" question. Now it's about velocity. If AI can handle literature review, proof exploration, and hypothesis testing while humans verify and guide, research timelines could compress dramatically. The bottleneck shifts from grunt work to insight quality.
For researchers (or aspiring ones): Sign up now while it's free. Even if you're not publishing papers, this is basically a supercharged research assistant that understands scientific context better than any tool we've had. Perfect for deep dives, hypothesis testing, or just leveling up your technical knowledge.
