Try walking outside on a midsummer day in New York City. You’re sweating buckets. You can smell garbage rotting by the side of the road. The sunlight and heat seem to reflect from the steaming pavement, which is so hot to the touch it burns your skin.
Google’s anti-stalking measures are rolling out. The company’s unknown tracker alerts and other safety measures, announced at Google I/O in May, should start appearing on Android 6.0+ devices beginning today. The initiative aims to reduce the unfortunate rise in digital stalking that materialized soon after Apple’s AirTag launch in 2021.
Android’s unknown tracker alerts tell you if an unknown Bluetooth tracker is traveling with you but not its owner. If your Android phone notifies you about a discovered tracking accessory, you can tap on the alert to learn more about it, including a map of where it traveled with you and (in some cases) a serial number and info about the device’s owner. You can also tap a “Play sound” option to make the accessory chirp to help you locate it. If it turns out to be something suspicious, it will provide instructions on deactivating it so its owner will no longer receive updates. (In the case of AirTag, that means twisting its top off and removing its battery.)
The Android rollout also allows you to manually scan for nearby trackers rather than waiting for an alert. Once your phone receives the update, navigate to Settings > Safety & Emergency > Unknown Tracker Alerts, and select the “Scan now” button. Google says the manual search only takes about ten seconds, and if it finds one, you’ll see the same options as if you received an automatic alert.
The new feature is the fruit of Google and Apple partnering to address concerns about unwanted tracker stalking. In addition, Google announced today that its Find My Device network (equivalent to Apple’s Find My), also announced at Google I/O, is delayed. Google decided to wait for Apple to implement its full unknown tracking protections into iOS before rolling out the new feature.
Note that Google’s anti-stalking measures may reduce the effectiveness of following tracked stolen items on a map since enterprising thieves can soon quickly discover hidden trackers, no matter which phone they use. However, it’s understandable that reducing stalking would override that concern in Google and Apple’s security balancing act.

The advent of generative artificial intelligence technology (exemplified by ChatGPT), has been hailed for its potential to boost productivity and improve the quality of life for many workers.
However, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, cautions against the notion that the rise of AI will only have a positive impact on the workforce — In fact, Altman believes that some jobs will undoubtedly be displaced, leading to concerns about the future of work and how displaced workers will fare in this rapidly changing landscape.
Generative artificial intelligence, like ChatGPT, has the potential to revolutionize the workplace by serving as a valuable assistant to workers. It can streamline processes, automate mundane tasks, and free up employees’ time, allowing them to focus on more meaningful and strategic aspects of their jobs. Many experts have expressed optimism that AI will complement human capabilities rather than replace them entirely.
Oded Netzer, a Columbia Business School professor, emphasizes that workers will not be replaced by AI itself but rather by those who know how to effectively utilize AI in their roles. This suggests that AI can empower workers to be more efficient and capable, leading to greater job satisfaction and overall productivity.
While there is a prevailing belief that AI will not result in widespread job displacement, Sam Altman cautions against this optimistic outlook. He acknowledges that some jobs will inevitably go away due to the increasing adoption of AI technology. Altman’s remarks reflect a realistic acknowledgment of the potential challenges that the workforce may face in the wake of AI’s growth.
A report by Goldman Sachs highlights the scale of potential job disruption, estimating that 300 million full-time jobs worldwide could be affected by AI. This is a significant concern that needs to be addressed by policymakers, businesses, and society as a whole.
Despite the potential job losses, Altman is hopeful that AI will also create new opportunities. He believes that as certain roles become automated, better and more fulfilling jobs will emerge to take their place. The idea is that the overall impact of AI will be a net positive for the workforce, leading to greater efficiency and innovation in the long run.
While the creation of new jobs is a promising prospect, the question remains: Will displaced workers be able to transition successfully into these new roles? History has shown that technological advancements have often led to challenges for certain segments of the workforce.
Ethan Mollick, an associate professor of entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School, points to the automation of telephone operators in the late 19th century; While younger women were able to adapt and find new jobs, older women faced a significant hit to their wages and struggled to secure comparable employment.
This serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the need for effective retraining and reskilling programs to support workers in transitioning to new industries and professions.

Summing up, the rise of generative AI technology presents both opportunities and challenges for the workforce. While AI indeed has the potential to boost productivity and improve workers’ lives, it is essential to acknowledge that some jobs will be displaced in the process. Preparing for this transformation requires a concerted effort from policymakers, businesses, and educational institutions to provide displaced workers with the necessary support and resources to thrive in the AI-driven economy.
The key lies in striking a balance between embracing AI’s benefits and mitigating its potential adverse effects on certain segments of the workforce. By doing so, society can harness the full potential of generative AI while ensuring that no one gets left behind. Do You think your job will be impacted by AI? Let us know in the comments below!

Reddit has started testing its version of verification badges on its platform with a new “Official” label. According to a post by a Reddit admin, the new label is in early testing and is only available to a small group of organizations (“in the double digits”) that already have existing relationships with Reddit. The company says that the label will appear next to their usernames, similar to how flairs are currently implemented.
Reddit clarifies that this should not be taken as an endorsement or promotion on its part and that it’s simply there to identify authentic brand accounts. “The label is a visual indicator of an authenticated profile, and it does not unlock any special privileges or protections. This new ‘Official’ label should not be mistaken for our existing ‘Promoted’ label, which continues to be our (only) indicator of a paid ad,” Reddit says.
It’s worth noting that this is a test on Reddit’s part and it’s unclear if or when the company plans on expanding the program to cover more than just businesses. Reddit seems to be taking the classic Twitter approach, manually verifying brands at this time. This is in contrast to other platforms such as Instagram, which allow users to pay for their respective verification badges. Though, it’s possible that Reddit shifts to the latter method down the line when it needs to start verifying both users and brands.
Reddit has had a rough last several months as the company has changed its API rules. Third-party developers used Reddit’s APIs to build thousands of apps that hook into the social media platform. With the shutdown, many subreddits closed or restricted access in order to protest the change. And of the subreddits that were forced to open back up, some started marking all new posts as NSFW, which prevented Reddit from monetizing them.
