Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:

☀️ On this day: On September 16, 1985, Steve Jobs resigned from Apple after a power struggle with CEO John Sculley and the board of directors. Jobs, who had co-founded Apple in 1976, was increasingly sidelined after the poor reception of the Macintosh Office. His departure led to the founding of NeXT Inc., a computer company focused on higher education and business markets—ultimately laying the foundation for his return to Apple in 1997.

Hand-picked news:

🤖 A 3-day workweek is coming soon ↗️LINK

• What: Zoom CEO Eric Yuan predicts AI will enable a three or four-day workweek, echoing Bill Gates, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, and JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon. AI tools could replace tasks like coding and emailing, reducing the need for constant human labor.

• Why: Executives see AI boosting productivity and cutting burnout. Trials of shorter weeks, like at Exos, show higher output and better employee well-being. Gates even suggests humans may only need to work 2–3 days in the future.

• Impact: While promising more free time, AI will also erase some jobs. New roles will emerge around managing digital agents, but the transition could reshape the job market and redefine corporate culture.

📊 Studies reveal how people really use AI ↗️LINK

• What: OpenAI analyzed 1.5M ChatGPT chats, while Anthropic tracked Claude use, revealing how people rely on AI. Most requests are for information and writing help, with 30% tied to work and 70% to personal use. Coding dominates Claude at 36%.

• Why: Usage varies by geography—Singapore engages 4.6x more than average, while India and Nigeria trail. Wealth still shapes access. Meanwhile, women now make up 52% of ChatGPT users, and developing countries’ adoption is rising fast.

• Impact: AI is shifting from novelty to necessity, with more users giving AIs full tasks. This marks a move toward AI as both assistant and manager, reshaping daily life and global equity.

📰🚨 Google cuts 200 AI workers without warning ↗️LINK

• What: Google laid off over 200 contractors working on Gemini without notice. Hired via GlobalLogic, these workers rated and edited chatbot responses. The layoffs follow disputes over pay, poor conditions, and an earlier union push.

• Why: Documents suggest GlobalLogic may be training AI to replace human raters. The firm also pressured staff with return-to-office rules. Google says contractors are GlobalLogic employees, not Alphabet’s.

• Impact: The cuts show how AI growth can displace the very workers building it. With similar layoffs at xAI and Scale AI, industry investment is clashing with worker security.

👓 Meta Ray-Ban glasses leak with new display ↗️LINK

• What: A leaked video showed Meta’s new Ray-Ban smart glasses with a small display over the right eye. The display can show notifications, directions, and Meta AI answers.

• Why: The glasses work with Meta’s wristband, which reads tiny finger movements. This lets users swipe or type in the air to control messages and commands.

• Impact: Meta is aiming to make smart glasses practical and stylish. If launched, they could spark new interest in everyday AI wearables and challenge rivals like Apple and Google.

🚫 Michigan bill seeks total porn ban with penalties ↗️LINK

• What: Michigan lawmakers introduced House Bill 4938, the "Anticorruption of Public Morals Act," which would ban all porn—including real, animated, written, or AI-generated depictions. Violators could face up to 25 years in prison, $125K fines, and mandatory sex offender registration.

• Why: Lead sponsor Rep. Josh Schriver says the ban aims to protect children and families, claiming porn fuels human trafficking. Supporters argue it safeguards communities from “obscene” online content.

• Impact: The bill faces major legal challenges since it targets adult access, raises free speech concerns, and requires ISPs to block content. If passed, it could spark one of the strictest internet censorship laws in the U.S.
