CD-ROMs!!! ๐
From "Only 90s kids would know" reels to a backup medium of your codebase. Now thats called a comeback!
#OldIsGold#BringBackFaxMachinesToo
We heard you. And we agree.
In light of recent developments in physical media, GitHub is proud to announce that you can now obtain your public repo on CD-ROM.
Keep it. Lend it to friends. Pass it on to your children.
Your code is physically yours, forever. Until you lose it, let's be real.
Order yours today.

@Yaw_nyame35 Indirectly it was always there unfortunately. Now its coming straight to face. It just takes time to realise this. Unfortunate but very true.
MICROSOFT BUILT AN MCP SERVER FOR PLAYWRIGHT
and it changes how ai agents interact with the web
most browser agents rely on screenshots + vision models to "see" the page
playwright-mcp skips all that
it reads the accessibility tree instead structured, clean, zero ambiguity
your llm knows exactly what's on the page & what to do with it
no hallucinated clicks
no broken selectors
works with cursor, vs code, claude desktop

Starting June 1, Copilot's new sub pricing will be as follows: for $39, you will receive 3,900 AI credits, with each credit valued at $0.01. Essentially, this means there is no added value at all. From the best to the worst. Great job, Microsoft! ๐๐
๐จBREAKING: Anthropic just published a study mapping exactly which jobs its own AI is replacing right now.
The workers most at risk are not who anyone expected. They are older. They are more educated. They earn 47% more than average. And they are nearly four times more likely to hold a graduate degree than the workers AI is not touching.
The argument is straightforward. Anthropic built a new metric called "observed exposure." Not what AI could theoretically do. What it is actually doing right now in professional settings, measured against millions of real Claude conversations from enterprise users.
For computer and math workers, AI is theoretically capable of handling 94% of their tasks. It is currently handling 33% of them. For office and administrative roles, theoretical capability is 90%. Current observed usage is 40%. The gap between what AI can do and what it is already doing is enormous. The researchers are explicit about what comes next. As capabilities improve and adoption deepens, the red area grows to fill the blue.
The demographic finding is what makes the paper uncomfortable. The most AI-exposed workers earn 47% more on average than the least exposed group. They are more likely to be female. They are more likely to be college educated. This is not a story about warehouse workers or truck drivers. It is a story about lawyers, financial analysts, market researchers, and software developers. The exact group whose education was supposed to insulate them.
Computer programmers showed the highest observed AI exposure at 74.5%. Customer service representatives at 70.1%. Data entry keyers at 67.1%. Medical record specialists at 66.7%. Market research analysts and marketing specialists at 64.8%. These are not predictions. These are measurements of work that is already happening on AI platforms right now.
Then there is the pipeline finding nobody is talking about loudly enough.
Anthropic's researchers found a 14% decline in the job-finding rate for workers aged 22 to 25 in highly exposed occupations since ChatGPT launched. No comparable effect for workers over 25. Entry-level roles were never just jobs. They were the training ground where junior analysts became senior analysts, where junior lawyers learned how arguments hold together. If that layer disappears, nobody has answered the question of where the next generation of senior professionals comes from.
The detail buried in the paper that most coverage missed: 30% of American workers have zero AI exposure at all. Cooks. Mechanics. Bartenders. Dishwashers. The technology reshaping professional careers is completely irrelevant to roughly a third of the workforce. The divide is no longer between high skill and low skill. It is between presence and absence.
The company publishing this study is the same company selling the AI doing the replacing. Anthropic had every commercial incentive to soften these findings. They published them anyway.
If you spent four years and $200,000 on a degree to land a white collar career, the company that builds Claude just confirmed your job is more exposed than the bartender pouring drinks at your graduation party.

@MarioNawfal Just a few months ago they were the monsters in the world and all of a sudden the west turns around and they are a role model. Trump magic does really work ;)
@abdulbasit_00@ZubairKhanPK Saw many middle class people being treated there on finances paid. It's mostly zakat money obv if you have a house worth some million pkr how are you even eligible for zakat. If JDC does this they are doing wrong as well. You cannot distribute zakat money according to your choice
@ZubairKhanPK Such a liar he has become. I personally experienced SKMH, spend multiple nights there over some years. Majority of the patients there are fully sponsored or atleast partly depending on their financial status. I rarely met people who were actually paying.
@Maria_Memon This is exactly the point. The older gen needs to stop. they failed in delivering for the next ones to come.. the next ones dont trust them and their ways. let the next generation make their own future and learn their own lessons.. enough with the spoon feeding..
