Chatting with readers and regular folks in the real world these days, I can’t help but notice a common theme anytime the topic of AI comes up.
It’s an almost amusingly extreme contrast: While the myopic world of tech people (and the type of mostly AI-powered “thought leaders” you see posting in turbo-speed on LinkedIn) are waxing endlessly about AI’s amazing impact on society and all the ways it’s, like, totally revolutionizing workflow, bruh, the average human’s take on AI can best be summed up with a single word:
Exasperation.
With shockingly little exception, almost every non-tech-obsessed organism I interact with reacts with something between an eye-rolling sigh and a fed-up facepalm whenever the prevalence of AI arises. It’s almost like having an on-demand in-person GIF gallery of “frustration” available at your fingertips — just mention AI, and you’ll get a meme-worthy reaction from anyone around you.
It’s such a dramatic divergence from the glowingly excited hype we hear left an
The following article originally appeared on Angie Jones’s LinkedIn page and is being republished here with the author’s permission. I’m fascinated by the concept of agent memory. LLMs are stateless by design, meaning they have no memory or awareness of past interactions. Each prompt you send to an LLM is treated as a completely isolated […]

The post AI job cuts hit Wix as CEO cuts 20% of workforce after Q1 earnings miss appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Wix CEO Avishai Abrahami told employees on Wednesday the company is cutting roughly 20% of its workforce, eliminating about 1,000 positions in the largest layoff in the company’s history. The Israel-based company operates a platform that lets people and businesses build websites without writing code. He posted the announcement on X (formerly Twitter) and LinkedIn simultaneously. Sharing here the message I just sent to the whole Wix team: Today is a sad day for me. We have made a very hard decision. We are reducing the Wix team size by roughly 20%. It is one of the hardest decisions I have had to make, but I am confident it is the right one, and I will… — Avishai Abrahami (@Avishai_ab) May 28, 2026 In the social media post, Abrahami named two forces. The first is currency. Wix earns revenue in dollars but pays more than 60% of its workforce in Israeli shekels. The shekel
Eight months ago, LinkedIn co-founder and former CEO Reid Hoffman confessed: “I am voicepilled.”
He argued that talking instead of typing was the next great leap in computing. Being “voicepilled,” he said, was the epiphany that you can be vastly more productive and creative when not bogged down by the Victorian-era contraption known as the typewriter ,or its modern version, the PC keyboard.
What’s changed is the rise of super high-quality AI-based speech-to-text tools, which not only capture what you say, but figure out what you intended to say, erasing your “ums” and “ahs” and tweaking your sentences automatically to be more articulate.
The best example for this category of voice application on the desktop is Wispr Flow, which launched Sept 30, 2024. Other products include Superwhisper, MacWhisper, and others.
In recent weeks, some mainstream news outlets have noticed the rising phenomenon of voicepilling. For example, The Guardian published a piece earlier this month headlined, “T
TRUE or FALSE: It’s better to post an AI-generated “thought piece” on LinkedIn than to post nothing at all. To many, the answer is FALSE. Every AI-generated post chips away at something.Not all at once. Slowly. The polished phrasing.The careful little paragraphs.The hollow confidence pretending to be insight. After a while, people stop reading what […]
