Hand-picked news:
🤖 Big Tech cuts nearly 1,000 jobs per day
Tech layoffs in 2025 have reached between 41,000 and 85,000 jobs so far, according to tracker sites, with Amazon, Dell, Meta, Block, and Atlassian all cutting thousands while citing AI-driven efficiency gains.
A 2025 MIT study found 11.7% of the labor market could be replaced by AI, and a March Quinnipiac poll shows 30% of employed Americans already worry their jobs are at risk.
Oracle's CEO praised AI coding tools for letting smaller engineering teams do more, and then his company laid off tens of thousands. The timing was not subtle.
🔴 Oracle cuts up to 30,000 jobs via email ↗️LINK
Oracle emailed thousands of workers at 6 a.m. on March 31 to notify them their roles were eliminated, with reports placing the total cuts between 10,000 and 30,000 — nearly 19% of its 162,000-person workforce.
The layoffs follow a 95% net income jump to $6 billion last quarter, but Oracle is burning cash on a massive AI data center expansion and facing doubled borrowing costs as banks pull back on financing.
A TD Cowen analysis found that cutting 20,000 to 30,000 jobs could save Oracle up to $10 billion — which makes the math clear, even if the 6 a.m. email delivery did not.
📧 Google finally lets you change your Gmail address ↗️LINK
Google is letting US users change their Gmail address without losing data, accessible via Google Account settings under Personal info, with old addresses kept as alternates for signing in.
Users can only change their username once every 12 months, and the new address cannot be deleted during that period. The feature is rolling out gradually, so not everyone has access yet.
Google quietly tested this in Hindi-speaking territories first, which means millions of users have been waiting years for something that was already working elsewhere in the world.
🌕 Four iPhones are flying to the moon ↗️LINK
Each Artemis II crew member carries a personal iPhone 17 Pro Max for photos and videos, marking the first time iPhones have been fully qualified for extended use in orbit and beyond.
Getting there wasn't simple: NASA ran a four-phase safety review covering potential hazards like shattering glass, microgravity behavior, and how to physically mount the phones inside the Orion capsule using Velcro.
The iPhones can't connect to the internet or use Bluetooth, so the most safety-reviewed smartphones in history are essentially very expensive cameras hurtling toward the moon at 25,000 mph.
⚠️ Copilot terms say the AI is for entertainment purposes only ↗️LINK
Microsoft's Copilot Terms of Use say the tool is "for entertainment purposes only" and not for important advice, despite the company actively pushing Copilot across Windows 11 and business products.
The disclaimer is common across AI firms, but automation bias makes it genuinely risky: people tend to trust machine output even when they know its limitations, and plausible-looking AI responses make that worse.
Microsoft is spending billions on AI infrastructure while selling Copilot as a productivity must-have, so "use at your own risk" buried in the fine print is doing a lot of quiet work.
