AI’s Urban Revolution: When White Collar Meets Silicon
Feb. 24, 2025. Forget rust belt automation—AI is coming for city centers. A Brookings Institution report reveals a shocking twist: this tech tsunami will hit white-collar industries hardest, targeting tech hubs like Silicon Valley and New York and emerging tech cities like Boulder and Salt Lake City.
The report’s co-author, Mark Muro, drops a mic-drop quote: “It’s not your parents’ or your grandparents’ automation.” Translation? This isn’t about factory floors anymore—it’s about coding, writing, financial analysis, and potentially obliterating entire customer service and clerical job categories.
The big question: When AI reshuffles urban economic landscapes, who wins, and who becomes obsolete?

The AI Talent Hunt: Tech’s New Gold Rush
Feb. 21, 2025. Tech executives have a new nightmare, and it’s not government regulations or economic jitters—it’s finding unicorn AI talent. A Protiviti survey reveals tech companies are in a cold sweat over AI adoption, with cyber threats taking a backseat to the great AI talent shortage.
Translation: Everyone wants AI wizards, but those wizards are rarer than a bug-free first draft. Andrew Retrum from Protiviti drops the truth bomb: “It’s not like AI has been around for 20 years.” The real winners? Companies who can level up their existing teams instead of hunting for mythical AI experts.
The takeaway? Upskill or get left behind.

Claude 3.7: The AI That Can Beat Pokémon Gym Leaders
Feb. 24, 2025. Move over, reasoning models—Anthropic just dropped Claude 3.7 Sonnet, an AI that can not only solve complex problems but also navigate through Pokémon games better than its predecessor. Talk about leveling up!
This “hybrid reasoning model” isn’t just another AI upgrade. It’s an active collaborator that can search code, edit files, run tests, and push to GitHub. Even more impressive? Anthropic’s team tested it by mapping the AI to a game controller, and Claude 3.7 can now defeat multiple gym leaders in an old-school Pokémon game.
Dianne Penn from Anthropic drops the mic: Reasoning isn’t a separate thing—it’s a feature of the AI. Translation: This isn’t just a tool, it’s a thinking partner.
The AI model race continues, and right now, Anthropic looks like the champion.
