More Job Cuts as AI Pressure Grows, NY Steps In to Track Impact
BT CEO Allison Kirkby signaled that the company may shrink further by 2030 as AI enables greater automation. Already targeting a cut of over 40,000 roles and £3B in costs, Kirkby hinted AI could unlock even leaner operations. Since her February 2024 appointment, BT shares are up 65%, driven by sell-offs and a sharp UK focus. In the U.S., New York became the first state to require companies to disclose if AI contributed to mass layoffs.

The bizarre 30-second spot was created by AI filmmaker PJ Accetturo using Google’s Veo 3 text-to-video generator. The ad showcases Kalshi’s real-money prediction markets on events like NBA outcomes, hurricane forecasts, and egg prices. The process took one person, 2–3 days, and involved generating 300–400 clips to select 15 usable ones, slashing production costs by over 95% compared to traditional commercials. Editing was done using tools like CapCut and Premiere Pro. As Veo 3 and similar AI tools go mainstream, this marks just the beginning of AI-produced ads hitting broadcast TV at scale. 🚀 Bring Your Website to Life with an AI Chatbot
