ATOMIZED AMERICA: Young Shoppers: Avoiding People Is the Point. “A recent consumer survey by GoDaddy compares the shopping habits of younger and older Americans.

AI TAKES OVER THE WORLD, WOMEN HARDEST HIT: How the AI takeover might affect women more than men. “Women are more likely to have their jobs replaced by generative AI, and they are slower to adopt AI technology into their work. Eight out of ten women in the workforce are in ‘occupations highly exposed to generative AI automation,’ compared to six out of ten men, said a 2023 analysis by the Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise. ‘Overall, 21% more women are exposed to AI automation than men even though men outnumber women in the workforce.’ This is because women predominantly hold some of the top jobs being replaced by AI, like administrative and clerical work. In jobs that are not being replaced, but rather augmented with AI, women are also more reluctant to use the technology than men, according to a working paper by Harvard Business School.”

JUST GOOD OLD ENGLISH VIOLENCE: The Roman massacre that never happened according to a new study of an iconic archaeological site. “A re-analysis of the burials, including a new program of radiocarbon dating, has revealed that, rather than dying in a single, catastrophic event, individuals fell over periods of lethal violence spanning multiple generations, spread across the late first century BC to the early first century AD. This is suggestive of episodic periods of bloodshed, possibly the result of localized turmoil, executions or dynastic infighting during the decades leading up to the Roman Conquest of Britain.”
