One Big Story: The AI Job Boom: 1 in 4 Tech Jobs Now AI-Focused

The AI talent race is heating up. According to new job listing data, nearly 25% of all U.S. tech job postings in 2025 require AI skills—a massive shift from just a few years ago. Since ChatGPT dropped in late 2022, AI has gone from an experimental tool to a must-have skill. Now, you're behind if you’re in tech and not working with AI.

Key Takeaways:

• AI-related jobs now make up 1 in 4 tech job listings—a number that’s been rising fast since ChatGPT changed the game.

• It’s not just AI companies hiring AI talent—every industry is integrating AI, from finance to healthcare.

• If you’re in tech and don’t have AI skills, now’s the time to start learning—or risk getting left behind.

My Take: This is the moment. AI is no longer an optional skill—it’s the core of modern technology. If you’re in tech (or trying to break in), get comfortable with AI tools ASAP. The companies that figure this out fastest will dominate.

Cool Tech: Manus AI: A Glimpse Into the Future—or a Security Nightmare?

A new AI agent out of China, Manus AI, is making waves with its promise of turning thoughts into actions. Unlike typical chatbots, Manus is a fully autonomous agent that can independently complete complex tasks—like sorting resumes, analyzing stocks, and assessing real estate deals—all without human intervention. That’s both impressive and a little unnerving.

What you need to know:

• Manus AI is designed for full autonomy. It operates in the cloud, so users can walk away while it works.

• Some U.S. experts worry about data security and China’s growing AI capabilities, especially with questions about where Manus’ data is stored.

• While the AI world is buzzing about Manus, early testers have mixed reviews. Some say its performance doesn’t yet match the hype.

• AI agents like Manus are the next big thing, but concerns about fully autonomous systems remain—some experts argue they should never be developed.
