For the past two years, a certain kind of corporate announcement has become almost routine. The company cuts staff. The company cites AI. The company moves on. The formula was clean, the earnings calls were tidy, and the narrative was simple enough to fit in a headline. The only problem is that it wasn’t true, and the consequences are now showing up in ways that are hard to ignore. The companies that replaced workers with AI are discovering that the math doesn’t hold. According to CNBC, employers who laid off workers in the name of AI are reversing those decisions.…

The Jewish Federation of Edmonton saved several screenshots of content shared to the city councillor’s Instagram stories last week, primarily focused on the conflict in Gaza and its impact on children.“If you have a newborn baby right now, anywhere in the world, your brand new baby is statistically more likely to be killed by Israel than dying by any other way,” said one of the posts Janz re-shared from a…
