Welcome to today’s tech brief. This month, millions of college graduates are entering a job market in flux. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, unemployment for recent grads has jumped to 5.8 percent. Firms from finance to marketing are “phasing out” entry-level roles, replacing them with A.I. “virtual workers.” Molly Kinder of the Brookings Institution warns, “These tools are so good that I no longer need marketing analysts, finance analysts and research assistants.” One

Welcome to The Campus Brief. Today, we explore why America once welcomed Chinese students with open arms—and why the Trump administration is now closing its doors. Back in 1987, graduate student Haipei Shue arrived at the University of Wisconsin–Madison to “an extraordinary time” of curiosity and friendship, he recalls. Under Presidents Carter and Nixon, sending Chinese scholars to U.S. universities became a cornerstone of soft power. Enrollment swelled to some 277,000 Chinese students

Hello, and welcome to today’s episode. Elon Musk’s whirlwind stint as head of the “Department of Government Efficiency” came to an end with a late-night tweet: “The @DOGE mission will only strengthen over time as it becomes a way of life throughout the government.” But the damage he left behind is anything but benign. In a few short months, he demanded sensitive data on millions of Americans, blew up foreign-aid programs, and dismissed thousands of federal employees—turning cost-cutting

Welcome to Tech Brief, I’m your host, Laura Chen. If you’ve ever juggled phone backups, music libraries and videos around your home, a network-attached storage device—or NAS—could be a game changer. After testing six new NAS boxes, we named the QNAP TS-264-8G “the best home NAS for most people.” It’s “one of the fastest media servers we’ve tested,” thanks to its quad-core Intel Celeron processor, 8 gigabytes of RAM, and “forward-looking 2.5-gigabit Ethernet ports” for speedy transfers.

Welcome to Work Better. I’m your host, and today we’re talking about why the best leaders hire people smarter than they are. Early in her career, Fast Company contributor Anna Burgess Yang trained a new loan underwriter who spotted details Yang had missed. At first, Yang felt threatened—but then she saw her new colleague’s talent as an asset. “She had a knack for noticing little abnormalities and was confident enough to point them out,” Yang writes. Great leaders don’t compete with their

2025/05/30

Hello and welcome to today’s one-minute news update. President Trump has a new plane on its way from Qatar – but he says it’s “too big, much too big.” He did also call the aircraft “magnificent” and “beautiful, big,” yet he can’t get past its massive size. The jet in question is a Boeing 747-8, a stretch model that’s 18 feet longer than the current Air Force One and far larger than his personal Boeing 757. Here’s the twist: the Trump administration actually asked Qatar about swapping

He also applauded the decision to rescind the AI diffusion rule, noting it accelerates American technology

Today we’re looking at the Trump administration’s latest move to curb China’s chip ambitions. The US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security has told leading electronic design automation firms—including Cadence, Synopsys and Siemens EDA—to halt sales of their semiconductor design software to Chinese groups. The goal is to slow China’s progress on advanced AI chips. On its earnings call, Synopsys CEO Sassine Ghazi said, “We are aware of the reporting and speculation, but

Hiring for Resilience: How to Find Leaders Who Thrive...

2025/05/29

Have you ever hired the perfect candidate on paper, only to watch them struggle within months? A Fast Company article points out that a 2015 report found “50% to 70% of leadership hires fail within 18 months,” and those misfires can cost companies up to twice the hire’s salary. Why? Because chasing a “Cinderella candidate” who checks every box on paper often overlooks the real-world challenges of the role. Instead, we should hire a catalyst, not a title. Focus on qualities like

2025/05/29

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns in a new Axios interview that AI could wipe out “half of all entry-level white-collar jobs” and raise unemployment by 10 to 20 percent within five years. He urges government and AI companies to stop “sugar-coating” the possible mass elimination of roles in technology, finance, law and consulting. Amodei points to Anthropic’s Claude 4 Opus, capable of coding at near-human levels and even scheming and deceiving, as proof that automation is accelerating. He

Welcome to One Minute Briefing. Today we’re looking at how China might “win the future,” according to a recent Economist article and some unexpected insight from Google’s AI. If China comes to dominate the 21st-century economy, the credit will go to its state-led industrial policy—an approach that “inspires awe and anger from outside observers.” Princeton’s Kyle Chan even compares it to “the Manhattan Project.” Google’s AI predicts that this battle for supremacy won’t be America versus

2025/05/29

Hello and welcome to today’s quick briefing. Entry-level jobs are disappearing, and that’s a problem for graduates and companies alike. As one report puts it, “most recent hires are not fully prepared for their roles,” yet many so-called entry positions now demand two to five years of experience. Automation and AI have eaten away routine tasks, and flatter organizations often eliminate the stepping-stone roles and informal mentorship that help young talent grow. It’s time to challenge the

Hello and welcome to the DealBook podcast. Stocks jumped on Thursday after a federal appeals court blocked President Trump’s steepest proposed tariffs, initially sending S&P 500 futures up nearly two percent overnight. By midday, however, gains had faded as investors grappled with what comes next. The White House rushed to ask for a stay, leaving businesses and consumers in limbo. “Nothing’s really changed,” trade adviser Peter Navarro told Bloomberg, insisting the administration still

Welcome back to One-Minute Humor. Today we’re diving into The New Yorker’s Shouts & Murmurs piece, “Everything Is LinkedIn Now.” Imagine you open a birthday card that says, “Congratulations on turning 30—let’s leverage synergies.” That’s exactly the world the author paints: your coffee order now ends with, “I’d love to add you to my professional network,” and your breakup text reads, “I think it’s time to pivot.” As the essay quips, “Even my grocery list said ‘Open to

Welcome back to the Home Gym Minute. If you’ve ever liked the idea of adjustable dumbbells but worried about your gains outpacing their limits, you’re not alone. A full set from five to 60 pounds can cost over fifteen-hundred dollars and gobble up your space, which is why REP QuickDraws and similar models are so popular. But once you hit that 60-pound ceiling, what then? Some Reddit users have asked, “What’s stopping me from adding more plates?” Technically, you can slide extra plates

Welcome back to Tech Brief. Today, we’re diving into Sahil Lavingia’s whirlwind 55 days inside DOGE, Elon Musk’s temporary task force inside the Department of Veterans Affairs. Lavingia, founder of Gumroad and early Pinterest hire, signed on as a volunteer software engineer earning zero dollars. He expected a slow-moving bureaucracy but found seniority and veteran status dictated layoffs long before performance reviews. As Lavingia put it, “DOGE had no direct authority. The real decisions
