Here's hoping deep, instinctive skepticism is the journalistic posture toward Silicon Valley moving forward...not a great track record though.

How is AI *really* impacting jobs?

Henley Chiu, the CTO of Revealera, a jobs data analysis firm, analyzed 180 million jobs listings in 2024 and 2025, in an effort to find out. Chiu found an:

A teenager wanted money for braces and ended up having sex for money with powerful men.

The girl said she met Matt Gaetz when she was a “homeless 17-year-old high schooler.”

She wants the public to have a fuller understanding of how she was victimized. 🎁

I came to the community memorial for the young girl killed walking across Boise’s Harrison blvd. I’ve seen several individuals and families - some close to the family - stop in silent grief or remembrance. Lit candles ring the base of the tree, and a child sobs. I am so sad for everyone around her.
