  33. Applause, please, for the companies that have managed to make jobhunting even worse, thanks to AI. @404mediaco’s Samantha Cole reports on the experiences of a woman named Ken, who was interviewed by an AI avatar that said “vertical bar pilates” 14 times in a row. She related her experiences on TikTok and received more than 3,000 comments, many sharing similar stories. “A company tried to send me to an AI interview for an HR position… Why would I want to work HUMAN resources for a company that won’t even dignify me with human interaction???” one person wrote.

  35. Over the past few years, a few people in the U.S. and China have benefited from xenotransplantation — inter-species transplants — but getting the organs to function correctly is a challenge. @KnowableMag takes a look at the current state of things: Which animals provide the best match (minipigs), techniques to avoid organ rejection, ethical issues, concerns about virus spillover, and who will pay for transplant procedures.
