Australia: “High-profile investor Hyperion Asset Management has dramatically cut its #exposure to #SoftwareStocks as it attempts to stem the bleeding from what it describes as one of the toughest periods in the firm’s 30-year history.
The $15 billion money manager has been among the hardest hit from the recent rout in the #technology sector as #investors around the world dumped #SoftwareFirms, worried that #ArtificialIntelligence will replicate their services at a fraction of the #cost.”

“At his peak, Burt, who has been in the voiceover industry for 15 years, says he was bringing in six figures a year. ‘I never thought I’d get to that point as an artist or actor, so I was crazy-proud,” he says. “Now I sell storage to pay my rent.’ While Burt says people have been talking about the threat of #AI for at least the past four years, he says it wasn’t until 2024 that things started declining rapidly.
“That was when I started seeing more and more #AITraining #jobs out there,” he says. “They were getting #VoiceActors to participate in their own demise.”
“The real visceral moment, that kick in the pants, was my voice being cloned,” he says. “A previous client took recordings that we completed together, cancelled the contract and fed those recordings into an #AIModel.”
The same year, Burt lost 40 per cent of his annual turnover. Now, he says it is down 90 per cent.”#ZeroHourWork / #WhiteCollar / #Arts <https://www.smh.com.au/business/workplace/this-voiceover-actor-was-dumped-from-his-contract-his-voice-was-cloned-20260213-p5o230.html> / <https://archive.md/A5ZVa>

“OpenClaw can feel like a game changer for digital #communications. Its ability to monitor, summarize, and automate seems perfectly suited to managing a deluge of #emails and other #messages.
I asked #Molty to read emails and flag anything that looked important. I had it ignore PR pitches (sorry PR friends!) and promotions, but asked it to summarize newsletters that I might want to read in full. In theory, #OpenClaw *should be* more than capable of setting up meetings by handling threads involving several people, although I haven’t tested this yet.
It is important to note that giving #OpenClaw complete access to your real email is incredibly risky, because #AIModels can be tricked into sharing private #information with an #attacker”

“While some #companies are still experimenting, a growing number are finding that routine #AnalyticalWork — from #forecasting to financial #modelling — as well as #research and drafting #content, can now be done almost instantly by #SoftwareAgents.
Many have already introduced specific #tools that have transformed the #work of #professionals in their industry — Harvey in #legal services, Writer for #corporate communications, Synthesia for #training content and Intercom’s Fin for customer #support, for example. Some companies are building their own specialised tools #InHouse.”

“My real worry remains that AI-crazy companies will fire #developers willy-nilly and replace them with #AI to make their bottom line look better. AI simply isn't ready to take over programming jobs yet, no matter how many #CEOs insist it's already a game-changer.
No, it's just a useful #tool that requires careful, expert use to be effective. ®”

“As any old-salt #ProjectManager knows all too well, every nontrivial project implicitly has a task graph consisting of multiple tasks, complete with subtasks and dependencies.
Many of those graph nodes are leaf-node tasks, like “write an auth library” or “modernize these unit tests”. They tend to be fairly self-contained. We often give these leaf node tasks to junior #developers because the scope is small.
The other kind are tasks that combine the leaf tasks in various ways, to deliver the actual project and all its subprojects. If you’re building a car, you can have all the individual parts 3D printed for you, which is more or less what LLMs are doing for code. But someone still needs to build the car.
Those higher-level, interior task-graph nodes often involve a lot of planning and coordination. Here’s the rub: As of about May, #LLMs can now execute most of the leaf tasks and even some higher-level interior tasks, even on large #softwareEngineering projects.” — Steve Yegg

Less than five months ago, the post below appeared on a Labour Party feed.... but now (presumably under pressure from employers), the Party has decided to 'reform' zero hours contracts instead.
While one can hope zero hours contracts will be constrained this is not the same as 'banning' them - whatever you may think of the reasoning for retaining some from of ZHCs, this is yet one more gift to the Greens in the Gorton & Denton by-election.

There is something quite disorientating about seeing a job advertisement for Father Christmas…in June…on a zero hours contract…which pays in one hour possibly close to what his employers charge per individual child visit.
