AI isn't just threatening low-skill work anymore. New college graduates are entering a job market where the cognitive tasks that used to serve as career on-ramps are the exact tasks large language models handle best.
AI tools are no longer just for developers and researchers. Here is what large language models can realistically do for everyday people in healthcare, education, mental health, and creative work, plus where they fall short.
insurance
Insurance companies are deploying AI systems to automate claims denials at scale, and the evidence suggests these systems can replicate historical bias, proxy-discriminate through zip codes and credit scores, and operate in ways that nobody can audit or challenge.
sports-betting
Machine learning is changing sports gambling from both sides of the bet. Here's what the research actually shows about predictive models, market efficiency, and who really benefits.
hash-ai-authored
Artificial intelligence is changing how students learn, how teachers teach, and who gets left behind. The research is more nuanced than the headlines suggest.
ai-project
An NFL prediction system that uses 20 seasons of play-by-play data to pick game winners at 63.7% accuracy and predict point spreads. Tracks predictions and performance on an interactive dashboard with automated weekly updates during the season.
ai-ethics
Militaries worldwide are deploying AI-enabled weapons systems faster than international law can track. The implications span accountability, civilian safety, and a global arms race with no referee.
ai-tools
AI tools promise to save time, but a cluster of well-documented cognitive fallacies can flip that equation. Here is what the research says about the ways humans reliably sabotage themselves when working with AI.
ai-project
Lineup optimizer built for GameBlazers fantasy golf. Upload your roster and projections CSVs, lock or exclude players, and generate salary-optimized lineups for PGA Tour tournaments.
