I do believe that AI will lead to significant dislocation of workers. But the committee's asking AI to assess AI is GIGO. AI is trained to foster AI, generate additional interaction, etc. Not exactly a dispassionate assessment. I believe AI is in the overhype part of the tech cycle, and we will see some moderating of expectations as many of these AI companies are shattered by not being able to deliver on their over-promises

Not true. Constitution permits Congress to establish a Postal Service. It does not require it. I'm not sure how this incorrect understanding became relatively widespread?

I will defend the mods/editors until the cows come home. But, obviously a slow news day. Thanks for trying to find something!

"People are already tailoring their resumes to get through employer word filters. Once AI is part of this ecosystem..."

I take college courses for fun, now that I'm retired. Every college student I talk to is using AI to write their resume and applications. The arms race started a couple of years ago.

The poor and middle class are those most negatively affected by illegal immigration, as they are the ones who lose jobs or get paid less when the supply of job seekers increases. For those who gnash teeth over techies and other white collars losing jobs to AI, they should support Trump on this.

It would upset me to pull in to get gas and, 1 out of 6 times, the pump was broken. Given the general sparcity of chargers, especially on the highway, 1 out of 6 failures for charging is much worse. I would look at EV as 2nd car -- if we weren't so cheap to have gone to one car -- but for those without garages this is still a huge problem.

The link to the research is in the second link in th OP.

If you look at the top dozen or so reasons cited for increasing marginal happiness, all but 2 go back to children and family. Decreasing human interaction, the drop in birth rates, cyber-loneliness, the bombarding of social media, increasing friction between what men look for in women and what women look for in men... (last not meant to exclude same sex, btw)

Being part of a family is so important, but fewer are obtaining it.

Just what we need, the government tracking one more thing. Just like their sweeping disregard of right to privacy ubder the guise of suppressing terror. I get that there is some rationale for this, but I fear the Chinese will find a way to subvert this and the only effect will be felt by law-abiding US citizens,

Not trying to earn anyone's ire, but this is indisputable fact. If climate activists want to make a profound impact on the future of humanity, they need to stick to fact and indisputable science, and not go back to scare tactics based on things that are simply not fact. I'm old and it is unlikely that climate change will significantly affect my life. I would like that to be true for all of you.

"real time" analytics with an AI twist. Lots of data, need to provide instant decisions. Used by military among other industries

Much worse conversationally than most other engines, imo. BTW, I think Grok achieves a nice balance between AI and "friend". And seems to change conversational behavior with fairly subtle cues.

A large part of this is 2nd (and 3rd) world raising their living conditions. Almost inescapable.

Great research -- it was sure to get published, probably will be followed by several follow on pubs, and a real lack of value for the general population. /sarcasm
My personal experience:
1) Lower success rate (overall)
If you have a small number of seats in an entering class, as a faculty you are likely to be highly selective for all.
If you have many seats available, it is almost a sure thing that the selection process will be balkanized, with more seats filled by individual faculty members and relatively fewer by a rigorous selection process. In my experience, at least.

2) Studs and studettes (high achievers)
The larger the lab, the more money, prestige, and pubs. Very difficult for smaller progams to compete. Overall, the "very best" students will disproportionally go to the most recognized programs.
