What's hot in AI: 28 to 30 Oct
Midweek had one loud theme. One camp spent it plugging every app into every other app. The other camp put a bouncer on its smartest model and gave security the guest list. If you'd rather watch than read, the latest Vibe News episode is on YouTube ( https://youtu.be/VzJsORxG7Xk ).

The Countdown
It is hard to know who we once were before they were here. They came into our lives shiny and new. They recognized us as worthy of their attention. We gave our passwords, pins, and fingerprints to them. We let them use our faces to identify us and to call us by name. They were not just intelligent devices; they were part of us. Our hands twitch when they are not held in them. The desire to turn them on would be too much to bear to keep them anywhere but nearby. Pockets being their safe place where hands can freely reach in, tap it, and allow the personal wallpaper to shine and the notifications to appear. For if we do not have notification alerts, then how are we to know what to do next and who needs us?

Write And Chill
I imagine if my iPhone stopped working, or pretty much everything froze, like the world was on pause, with no warning, no breaking news announcement, no emergency broadcast telling people to prepare themselves. It was just another ordinary morning. People woke up, reached for their phones, checked their notifications, scrolled through social media, responded to messages, and continued with their daily routines. No calls. No text messages. No social media. No internet. No GPS. Nothing.

Kill switch engaged
Several months have passed since the world changed overnight. In the span of a heartbeat, every smartphone on the planet malfunctioned, creating a ripple effect only movie scripts or doomsday novels could ever imagine. The aftermath continues to overwhelm the world and stretches farther than any writer's pen can ever hope to describe.

Smartphone Who?
It was a hot and sticky New Orleans night when the phone stopped working. I was on my hands and knees, in the middle of a dirty street, staring at the cracked glass screen, mostly black with those silver static lines that let you know something is not right.

Found On The Ex Press
The train had stopped, and it was dark. Almost everyone was on the way home and they waited for some explanation of what was happening. It was twilight to darkness time, and the drizzle and dirty windows meant that the passengers could not see very far over the moor where they were stopped.

Will Agentic AI Wipe Out Junior Staff and Middle Managers?
"AI will take your job" is no longer a sci-fi warning. Agentic AI — software that plans and carries out tasks on its own — is now landing in real offices. Executives want a return on what they spent, and a quiet culling has begun.
