Companies across the US and Europe are citing artificial intelligence as a driver of layoffs, with firms like Salesforce, Accenture, Lufthansa, Klarna, and Duolingo signaling reduced headcount. Critics, including Fabian Stephany of the Oxford Internet Institute, say AI is being used as a scapegoat for broader business moves, and that some cuts reflect a post-pandemic overhiring or a market clearance rather than pure efficiency gains. The debate underscores whether AI adoption is a genuine productivity boost or an easy excuse to justify workforce reductions, as companies position themselves at the AI frontier while real reasons may lie elsewhere.

October 19, 2025, 1:08 AM EDT. Global demand for industrial rugged smartphones is expanding as harsh-work environments demand durable, secure devices. The market is forecast to reach about USD 8.2 billion by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.1% from 2025-2031. Preliminary figures show the market near USD 4.5 billion in 2024, underscoring steady expansion. Key drivers include enhanced 5G connectivity, AI-enabled features, and stronger enterprise security, enabling real-time communication, field mobility, and analytics across construction, manufacturing, logistics, and field services. Leading vendors such as Zebra Technologies, Panasonic, Honeywell, CAT Phones, Samsung, Sonim, Getac, Kyocera and Motorola are expanding portfolios to serve cross-industry needs. Growth will be supported by innovations in durability, battery life, processing power, and seamless integration with enterprise software and IoT ecosystems.

October 19, 2025, 1:04 AM EDT. David Cutler, a teacher, argues that while AI can assist learning, ChatGPT-5 threatens the integrity of student writing. After hearing the system mimic a student's unique voice, he notes how easily past essays can be replicated with accurate citations, and how AI erodes effort, patience, and critical thinking. He compares AI's value to calculators: calculators automate computation, but AI risks hollowing out the process of crafting ideas, supporting arguments, and discovering insights during drafting. The piece frames the debate around depth vs. efficiency, stressing that genuine writing grows from struggle, revision, and the development of voice, not from shortcuts. Cutler casts AI as a dangerous tool in writing and critical thinking pedagogy, insisting teachers must defend authentic learning rather than embrace effortless AI-generated work.

October 19, 2025, 1:00 AM EDT. Frore Systems unveils LiquidJet, a liquid-cooling platform using precision-engineered 3D short-loop jet channels to replace traditional 2D microchannel coldplates. Built with semiconductor manufacturing techniques, LiquidJet is tailored for high-power GPUs and today cools NVIDIA's new Blackwell Ultra GB300 with a 1400W TDP, outperforming legacy coldplates on hotspot power density, KW/lpm, and pressure drop. The design scales with next-gen GPUs like NVIDIA Rubin, Rubin Ultra, and Feynman's 4000W class chips, and supports custom hyperscaler ASICs. Benefits include highly customizable cooling maps that align with chip power layouts, simpler drop-in upgrades, cooler GPUs, higher AI tokens/second, lower TCO, and improved PUE. In short, LiquidJet evolves as fast as the chips it cools, enabling more efficient AI data centers.
