Not a token effort: beer meets artificial intelligence at bar in China′s capital (SCMP)
|
|
|
Drinks, music, vibes … what else can a bar offer to attract customers? One in China's capital, Beijing, is betting on unlimited access to artificial intelligence models.
The AGI Bar in the Zhongguancun tech hub, known as China's Silicon Valley, was packed with laptop-using customers on a recent night. One of the first things many did after ordering a drink was to connect to the in-house Wi-fi and configure an AI agent to access the free tokens the bar provides.
Manager Yang Yuan said the bar,......

AI Skepticism Outweighs Excitement In The US
Despite the tech industry's conviction that the rise of AI is an inflection point that will change the course of humanity, many humans remain skeptical whether the new direction we're headed in is the right one.
As Statista's Felix Richter reports below, the pace at which AI seems to be taking over parts of our lives, whether we like it or not, is especially worrisome to many.
In a recent Statista Consumer Insights survey, 31 percent of U.S. respondents said that they were worried about the speed at which AI is developing and 25 percent of respondents claimed to be avoiding AI wherever they can.
18 percent said they used AI but felt bad about it and another 28 percent simply don't believe in the hype, saying they weren't convinced that AI is as good as people say.

What Happened To The So-Called AI Job Apocalypse?
Authored by Joe Bertolami via RealClearMarkets,
A recent report from Stanford reviewed the latest employment data and found that, so far, AI has not resulted in large scale job destruction. Meanwhile, new hiring data from the Economic Times reveals that AI is actively fueling unprecedented job creation, with AI skills now powering nearly two-thirds of new Global Capability Center hiring. Together, these recent dispatches from the front lines of the labor market point to a calming reality: the much-dreaded AI job apocalypse hasn't materialized as a sudden extinction event.
The (sometimes buried) lede: AI is delivering real impact, and it is broadly changing the nature of work. But disruption is not a new phenomenon. The economy has always dismantled old work to build new work. What determines whether this evolution feels like progress or collapse isn't just the number of jobs lost, it's the speed at which that loss hits the labor market.

X Busts Suspected Chinese Bot Farm That Could 'Manipulate Legitimate Debate' Over America's AI Boom
Social media giant X said on Thursday that it identified a bot farm of roughly 200,000 suspected Chinese accounts – 200 of which were "posting in a manner that could manipulate a legitimate debate about American AI and energy policy." In short: the bots were amplifying pitchfork grievances Americans already hold against data centers.
