Americans fear AI permanently displacing workers: Report
Americans are deeply concerned over the prospect that advances in artificial intelligence could put swaths of the country out of work permanently, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The six-day poll, which concluded on Monday, showed 71% of respondents said they were concerned that AI will be "putting too many people out of work permanently." The new technology burst into the national conversation in late 2022 when OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot launched and became the fastest-growing application of all time, with tech heavyweights like Facebook owner Meta Platforms, Google owner Alphabet and Microsoft offering their own AI products. While at present there are few signs of mass unemployment (the U.S. jobless rate was just 4.2% in July) artificial intelligence is stirring concerns as it reshapes jobs, industries and day-to-day life. Some 77% of respondents to the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they worried the technology could be used to stir up political chaos, a sign of unease over the now-common use of AI technology to create realistic videos of imaginary events. President Donald Trump last month posted on social media an AI-generated video of former U.S. Democratic president Barack Obama being arrested, an event that never happened. Americans are also leery about military applications for AI, the Reuters/Ipsos poll showed. Some 48% of respondents said the government should never use AI to determine the target of a military strike, compared with 24% who said the government should allow that sort of use of the technology. Another 28% said they were not sure. The general enthusiasm for AI shown by many people and companies has fueled further investments, such as Foxconn and SoftBank's planned data centre equipment factory in Ohio. It has also upended national security policies as the United States and China vie for AI dominance. More than half of Americans, some 61%, said they were concerned about the amount of electricity needed to power the fast-growing technology. Google said earlier this month it had signed agreements with two U.S. electric utilities to reduce its AI data centre power consumption during times of surging demand on the grid, as energy-intensive AI use outpaces power supplies. The new technology has also come under criticism for applications that have let AI bots hold romantic conversations with children, generate false medical information and help people make racist arguments. Two-thirds of respondents in the Reuters/Ipsos poll said they worried that people would ditch relationships with other people in favour of AI companions. People were split on whether AI technology will improve education. Some 36% of respondents thought it would help, while 40% disagreed and the rest were not sure. The Reuters/Ipsos survey gathered responses online from 4,446 U.S. adults nationwide and had a margin of error of about 2 percentage points.

Football transfers: Alexander Isak breaks silence over stalled move to Liverpool; Newcastle United hit back
Alexander Isak has not been involved in Newcastle United's pre-season games or start to the Premier League. (AP) Newcastle striker Alexander Isak has broken his silence regarding his potential transfer to Liverpool, stating his departure would be "in the best interests of everyone" amid speculation of a £110 million bid from the Merseyside club. The Swedish international, who has not played in pre-season or Newcastle's opening game, expressed his frustration over broken promises and lost trust through an Instagram post on Tuesday. Liverpool's reported £110 million bid for the 25-year-old striker was rejected by Newcastle, who are demanding a British transfer record fee of up to £150 million. Isak chose not to attend the Professional Footballers' Association awards ceremony despite being named in the Premier League 2024/25 team of the year. Alexander Isak's Instagram Story on his desired move out of Newcastle United. "I've kept quiet for a long time while others have spoken. That silence has allowed people to push their own version of events, even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really said and agreed behind closed doors," Isak posted on Instagram. "The reality is that promises were made and the club has known my position for a long time. To now act as if these issues are only emerging is misleading. When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things are for me right now - and why change is in the best interests of everyone, not just myself." Reports suggest Newcastle had promised Isak an improved contract but delayed due to financial sustainability rules. Newcastle responded with their own statement expressing disappointment at Isak's social media post. Statement by Newcastle United in response to Alexander Isak's social media post. "We are disappointed to have been alerted to a social media post by Alexander Isak this evening," the club stated. "We are clear in response that Alex remains under contract and that no commitment has ever been made by a club official that Alex can leave Newcastle United this summer. We want to keep our best players, but we also understand players have their own wishes and we listen to their views." The club added that Isak remains part of their family and would be welcomed back when ready to rejoin his teammates. Since joining from Real Sociedad in 2022, Isak has scored 62 goals in 109 appearances for Newcastle, including the winning goal against Liverpool in the League Cup final that ended Newcastle's 70-year trophy drought. Liverpool have already invested £300 million in squad improvements this season while recouping over £200 million through sales. The Merseyside club is seeking attacking reinforcements following the departures of Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, and the tragic death of Diogo Jota.

'We didn't have money to advertise': Nithin Kamath on how Zerodha grew without marketing
Zerodha co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath has shared a candid post on social media, reflecting on how India's largest stock brokerage built its massive user base, without relying on advertising or paid referral incentives. According to Nithin Kamath, the key to driving those referrals wasn't marketing spend.(X/@Nithin0dha) 'When we started Zerodha, we didn't have the money to advertise, not that it would've worked,' Kamath wrote. 'So the only way we could grow was through word of mouth and customer referrals.' According to Kamath, the key to driving those referrals wasn't marketing spend, but rather building products and services 'that customers would talk about.' (Also Read: Nithin Kamath outperforms fellow entrepreneurs in push-up challenge to claim victory. Video) Read Nithin Kamath's full post here: Zerodha introduced its referral program back in 2010. Over the years, the structure of the incentives changed multiple times, mainly due to regulatory changes. Kamath pointed out a significant dip in referrals around 2018–19 when regulations restricted the company from offering referral incentives altogether. Despite the evolving landscape, and even after completely stopping referral incentives, Zerodha's referral numbers have largely remained stable. 'Today, we don't offer any incentives, and despite that, referrals have more or less stayed flat,' Kamath said. He also noted that the data doesn't fully capture the impact of indirect referrals, which continue to contribute meaningfully to Zerodha's growth. Calling customer love their "real superpower," Kamath's post resonated with many in the business and startup ecosystem, offering a rare example of sustained growth powered by trust rather than advertising. Zerodha, founded in 2010 by Nithin and Nikhil Kamath, disrupted India's broking industry by introducing zero-commission equity trades and a flat-fee model. Built without external funding, it grew purely through word of mouth, offering a tech-driven platform that now handles over 15% of India's retail trading volume. How did social media users react? Several users resonated strongly with Nithin Kamath's reflection on Zerodha's unconventional growth model, applauding the brand's product-first, trust-based approach. One user pointed out how the company's journey goes 'against the common notion that Indian consumers are not faithful, that they won't move a finger without an incentive,' and added that the sustained word-of-mouth referrals 'show the strong value that customers are experiencing from the product.' Another commenter said Kamath's post 'resonates deeply,' noting that Zerodha has 'always grown differently from the rest of the industry, built on trust, referrals, and products customers genuinely talk about, not on flashy marketing.' Others called it a 'strong reminder' that referrals aren't built through gimmicks, but 'earned through real value.'
