AI Job Anxiety Is High, But a New Data Gold Rush Is Creating Fortunes for Humans

Описание: Introduction:
In today’s episode, we dive deep into the rapidly evolving AI landscape, where job anxiety looms but new opportunities arise. We begin by examining Mercor’s meteoric rise to a $10 billion valuation, highlighting an emerging gold rush in AI data annotation. However, this boom comes with significant risk due to the market’s heavy dependence on a small number of clients, which could reshape the AI supply chain and impact elite gig work. Next, we explore the soaring copper prices driven by U.S. stockpiles totaling 750,000 tons, which is causing a global shortage that threatens data center expansion and the broader energy transition. We also unpack the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold a TikTok ban, revealing the legal paradox that has created an executive kill switch for the platform and what it means for free speech and internet fragmentation worldwide. Then, we analyze the dramatic fall of iRobot’s value and its acquisition by a Chinese supplier after the EU blocked its Amazon deal, discussing the implications for smart home privacy under Chinese national security laws. Finally, we spotlight Grand Theft Auto co-creator Dan Houser’s bold new studio venture into AI-powered interactive gaming, marking a potential turning point in the industry’s dominant live-service model.
