AI Researchers Log 80-Hour Weeks as Silicon Valley Scrambles for Scarce =
Talent
 =E2=80=A2 Top AI researchers and executives across Anthropic, Microsoft=
, Google, Meta, Apple, and OpenAI are routinely working 80 to 100 hours =
a week to keep pace with rapid breakthroughs. Several compare the grind =
to wartime conditions, saying they are =E2=80=9Cspeedrunning 20 years of=
 scientific progress in two years.=E2=80=9D
=E2=80=A2 Mark Zuckerberg=E2=80=99s multimillion-dollar poaching spree i=
gnited an arms race for the small pool of elite talent, prompting some s=
tartups to codify 80-hour weeks in contracts. Despite sudden wealth, man=
y workers report no time to spend it as they chase new model capabilitie=
s around the clock.
=E2=80=A2 The research-to-product gap now spans mere days, so companies =
keep offices staffed and fed through weekends to sustain nonstop work. W=
orkers say the pace erases personal life, evident in soaring Saturday fo=
od orders and the disappearance of vacations and social time.

Amazon Targets 600,000 Roles for Robot Takeover
 =E2=80=A2 Internal Amazon documents reveal a plan to automate 75% of it=
s operations and remove the need for over 600,000 warehouse and delivery=
 jobs. Executives describe the robot push as essential to sell twice as =
many products without expanding the payroll.
=E2=80=A2 The automation team expects to skip hiring 160,000 U.S. worker=
s by 2027, trimming about $0.30 from the cost of every item picked, pack=
ed, and shipped. Amazon is duplicating its highly automated Shreveport, =
Louisiana warehouse in roughly 40 facilities and retrofitting older site=
s like Stone Mountain, Georgia.
=E2=80=A2 MIT economist Daron Acemoglu warns the shift could make Amazon=
 a net job destroyer and set a template other large employers will copy.=
 Amazon already runs one million robots worldwide and is retraining thou=
sands of technicians, signaling a rapid realignment of warehouse labor.

Yelp Unveils 24/7 AI Agents to Handle Restaurant Calls and Reservations
 =E2=80=A2 Yelp introduced two AI agents, Host and Receptionist, that an=

ants and other local businesses. Host starts at $149 per month=E2=80=94o=
r $99 for Yelp Guest Manager users=E2=80=94while Receptionist launches a=
t $99 per month for eligible firms.
=E2=80=A2 Both agents come pre-trained on Yelp=E2=80=99s business data a=
nd can run continuously or only when extra coverage is needed. Host will=
 soon add diners directly to Yelp Waitlist, and Receptionist will expand=
 beyond its initial group of businesses in the coming months.
=E2=80=A2 Yelp frames the tools as a fix for =E2=80=9Cunderstaffed=E2=80=
=9D venues, shifting routine customer calls to AI so staff can stay focu=
sed on onsite service. Their debut aligns with a broader hospitality tre=

Always-Listening AI Pendant Friend Draws Backlash Over Empty Companionsh=

 =E2=80=A2 Friend is a $129 pebble-shaped wearable that records everythi=

=E2=80=A2 Founder Avi Schiffmann concedes the pendant is =E2=80=9Calways=
 listening=E2=80=9D and admits features it promises, like conversation t=
ranscripts, do not exist. The startup spent nearly $1 million on New Yor=

=E2=80=A2 Mental-health experts in the piece warn that the gadget=E2=80=99=
s relentless agreeableness can erode real social skills and even embolde=
n harmful choices. MIT researchers say the surge of AI wearables demands=
 regulation to curb psychological risks tied to synthetic companionship.=
