    FOR SOME RECENT GRADUATES, THE A.I. JOB APOCALYPSE MAY ALREADY BE
    HERE (9 MINUTE READ) [14]

    Millions of young graduates are entering into industries that have
    little use for their skills, view them as expensive and expendable,
    and are rapidly phasing out their jobs in favor of artificial
    intelligence. This emerging crisis for entry-level workers is being
    fueled in part by rapid advances in AI capabilities. Unemployment for
    recent college graduates has jumped to an unusually high 5.8% in
    recent months. While some executives are making a calculated bet on AI
    systems, there are many risks, for example, the expectation that
    entry-level jobs are short-lived may lead companies to underinvest in
    job training, mentorship, and other programs aimed at entry-level
    workers, leaving those workers unprepared for more senior roles later
    on.

    THE U.S. PLAN TO HOBBLE CHINA TECH ISN'T WORKING (9 MINUTE READ) [15]

    US efforts to win the tech race against China have so far failed.
    While White House officials and their proxies want to ban the export
    of AI microchips and the tools to make them, some outside the
    administration say that such policies are backfiring by accelerating
    China's development of its own tech ecosystem. The debate comes down
    to whether it is better to have China dependent on US tech or if the
    national security risk of China having US tech is too great. China's well-organized, well-funded, and consistent push for self-sufficiency
    has lessened its dependence on other countries, and each year it
    produces a greater proportion of everything it needs.
