Jobs
🤔 AI’s Hottest Job Is... Not Losing Yours

The Bite: AI companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Cohere are hiring “forward-deployed engineers”;

Half-coder, half-consultant hybrids who embed inside client companies to make AI actually work.

It’s a mix of applied science, customer therapy, and damage control for enterprises still confused by their own AI budgets.

• OpenAI plans to grow its FDE team to ~50 by 2025
  

• Anthropic expanding its applied AI team 5x this year
  

• Job listings up 800% in 2025, according to Indeed
  

• Palantir pioneered this model years ago — embedding engineers in military bases and oil refineries
  

• FDEs blend technical chops with empathy:
  “Product discovery from the inside”

Why it Bites: AI’s future might not belong to the prompt whisperers — but to the translators who make machines make sense.

The irony?
To scale “automation,” companies are hiring more humans than ever.

Palantir sent engineers to war zones.

OpenAI’s sending them to Fortune 500 boardrooms.

Either way, it’s still boots on the ground.
Just with better snacks and Wi-Fi.

_{Everything Else}
🧠 You Need to Know

😬 Meta Platforms Has an AI Product Problem

→ The company’s massive spending on AI infrastructure isn’t showing up in revenue — TechCrunch says the “AI future” at Meta still feels mostly promise.

🤯 Mustafa Suleyman Says Only Biological Beings Can Be Conscious

→ Microsoft’s AI-boss warns that no matter how slick your chatbot is, it can’t feel — and treating it as if it can is “dangerous and misguided.”

🎭 LLM-Robot Combo Channels the Late Robin Williams

→ Researchers embedded top LLMs in a robot vacuum. When it failed, instead of apologizing—it did a comedic riff straight out of Dead Poet’s voice memo.

🎲 Coinbase CEO Trolls Prediction Markets

→ Brian Armstrong is messing with financial-prediction platforms by publicly trolling them during earnings — hinting the tools might be fluff not foresight.

🏎️ Elon Musk Calls BS on Sam Altman’s Tesla Refund Claim

→ Musk says Altman did get a refund for his delayed Tesla Roadster order—just not the story he posted. Feels like startup drama meets supercar soap opera.

_{Toilet Bowl 9000}
🚽 The Bathroom Just Got a Software Update

The Bite: Kohler’s new $599 Dekoda toilet camera just launched.

It’s a smart seat that analyzes urine, stool, and hydration data, then sends it to an app that literally tells you to drink more water.

Smart toilets are the new wearables, turning bathrooms into biometric labs for the quantified self.

Snacks:

• Dekoda launched Oct 21 with a $7/month subscription

• Tracks hydration, stool consistency, and vitamin levels

• Withings’ U-Scan and Toto’s Wellness Toilet joining soon

• Experts question accuracy and necessity of basic metrics

• Kohler says data is securely sent over Wi-Fi (sure, Jan)

Why it bites: AI promised to revolutionize healthcare, not eavesdrop on your digestive system.

The idea of “know thyself” hits different when it involves fiber tracking.

It’s health optimization meets oversharing: your toilet now knows what your doctor doesn’t.

And probably sells it to someone who shouldn’t.
