The effects of AI on firms and workers
The past decade has seen tremendous growth in commercial investments in artificial intelligence (AI). The first wave came after the 2012 ImageNet challenge, which was a pivotal moment in the history of artificial intelligence, particularly computer vision and deep learning. Then, advances in computing power—GPU hardware—powered neural network models trained on large amounts of data. Across industries, from construction to pharmaceuticals to finance, companies rushed to implement AI in their operations. This trend has only accelerated with the release of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022. Even larger models trained on even larger datasets are showing even greater power, and AI applications are becoming ubiquitous across U.S. businesses (Babina, et al. 2024).The rapid rise of commercial AI has inevitably brought concerns regarding its potential to displace human workers. There is evidence that AI can automate some cognitive tasks or increase worker productivity in a way that could reduce the number of workers needed. For example, Brynjolfsson, et al. (2025) find that AI tools make customer service workers much more efficient. Fedyk, et al. (2022) find that audit firms that use AI reduce their audit workforce. But the good news is that the labor-displacing effects seem confined to select sectors and occupations. On aggregate, recent academic research finds evidence that companies’ use of AI has been accompanied by an increase in the workforce.
This article synthesizes recent research—including new findings from Babina, et al. (2024) and Babina, et al. (2023)—to assess the real-world impacts of AI on firms and workers. Contrary to common fears, we find that AI has so far not led to widespread job loss. Instead, AI adoption is associated with firm growth, increased employment, and heightened innovation, particularly in product development. However, the effects are not uniformly distributed: AI-investing firms increasingly seek more educated and technically skilled employees, alter their internal hierarchies, and contribute to rising industry concentration. These trends carry important implications for public policy, including workforce development, education and reskilling initiatives, and antitrust enforcement. This article reviews the evidence and highlights key takeaways for policymakers navigating the AI-driven economy.

“IMPARO il CINESE in 30 GIORNI” (JumboDrillo è meglio di noi…)
Sembra strano, e non pensavo si sarebbe mai potuto dire (e per giunta in questa economia…?), ma probabilmente a proposito dell’imparare le lingue c’è qualcosa di buono che si può prendere persino da quel fallito di JumboDrillo…! (Che chiamo così solo perché è la singola proprietà attorno alla quale tutto il suo canale è sviluppato, non perché penso sia un fallito… certamente io sono più fallita di lui, insomma, sia ben chiaro.)youtube.com/watch?v=v-4ntXPLOF…
Lui da assoluto pazzo, ma indubbiamente più bravo di noi, ha deciso di imparare il cinese in 30 giorni… e per soli 30 giorni (e mi chiedo se poi abbia continuato… ma temo si sia fermato) non sembra essere andato per niente male. Il suo motivo certamente è poco condivisibile… voleva praticamente solo rimorchiare in discoteca… però bisogna apprezzare l’impegno. Purtroppo, per quanto il metodo poi sia stato relativamente efficace, c’è anche da piangere, perché non è per tutti: a parte Duolingo, qualche canale YouTube apposito, e il fatto che nel mentre di tutto ha preso tanti appunti vari (“tra l’altro con i colori come le ragazze“), una parte della storia si è sviluppata con lui che si è messo un po’ a frequentare Chinatown e aveva 2 coetanei cinesi con cui studiare… e sono questi ultimi dettagli il problema, insomma. Almeno nell’imparare qualcosa che non sia il cinese, perché il quartiere strambo non esiste per altre nazionalità, e quindi nemmeno le persone. Vabbè, pace, gli altri elementi sono comunque buoni per sfuggire ad una morsa troppo totalizzante del gufo.

Issues with stickies
In my community !action_movies@piefed.social , I've made two posts sticky (the "Welcome" post and the "Free, legal movies" post) using my Piefed mod account, but:
- viewing in PieFed, neither post is at the top. (They do have inverted angle brackets around the title.)
- viewing in Lemmy, The "Free, legal movies" post is sticky (at top, with pushpin icon) but the "Welcome" post isn't.
How do I get them both displayed at the top in both PieFed and Lemmy? Or is this a bug?
On piefed
They both appear stickied just fine to me. Something that is different with sticky posts on piefed is that if you sort by New, then the sticky posts are no longer at the top of the page. That is different than how lemmy does it. This has led to confusion in the past, and even has a codeberg issue about it.
On lemmy
I am guessing that federation had not yet been established between that lemmy instance when you created and stickied that initial welcome post. I just tried an experiment now where I subscribed to your community from a test lemmy instance I have and forced federation of one of the sticky posts, and it didn't come over stickied. So, there might be some weirdness there.
What you can do to try to resolve this is to unsticky it and then resticky it. That should send out the correct actions via activitypub so that the other instances know that the post should be stickied. To be on the safer side, give it a minute or two between those two actions so that you are sure the first action had been sent out fully.
Sticky post on PieFed aren't listed on the top of its community.
Cf pictures : The sticked post, with the blue title, stay at the middle of the community page. It doesn't move to the top of its community.Codeberg.org
Thanks for the info.
- I unstickied, re-stickied and waited a couple of minutes. Both are now stickies that appear at the top in Lemmy, no matter what the sorting order.
- Sorting order: when I first started with Lemmy, I got sick of seeing the same posts again and again and again. I tried different sorting orders, and different settings for viewed posts, none of which satisfied all my wishes, until I eventually gave up on everything except "New", which is now how I look at all content all the time.
So I guess this means in Piefed I'm always missing out on seeing stickies in all communities, not just the one I mod. :/
Wait, so what is that issue? If you bold something in two different places it gets messed up?
Edit: it sure does...I will take a look at that when I look at formatting comment previews correctly.
I think it might also happen when you have italics, or bold, immediately followed by punctuation.
Or is that only when the original post is done on Lemmy and then viewed on PieFed? I'll have to try to find an example.
- piefed.social/post/997768
Just following up on this that stickied posts should now show up at the top of communities even if you sort by New. Additionally, the double bold problem should be solved now without breaking anything else. Feel free to reach out in this community or on codeberg with issues if they come up.
PS - post and comment previews should show better formatting as well, including blockquotes and code blocks.
DiffuCoder: Understanding And Improving Masked Diffusion Models For Code Generation
This paper introduces DiffuCoder, a 7B-scale open-source masked diffusion large language model (dLLM) specifically designed for code generation.
The research provides insights into how dLLMs generate content, distinguishing their decoding behavior from that of autoregressive (AR) models. Unlike AR models, dLLMs can intrinsically adjust their generation causality and increasing sampling temperature diversifies not just token choices but also their generation order, creating a rich search space for reinforcement learning (RL).
This flexibility allows dLLMs to be more non-autoregressive and generate tokens in a less sequential, more "human-like" code writing manner.
To leverage this diversity and improve performance, the paper proposes coupled-GRPO RL algorithm. This method utilizes a coupled-sampling scheme that constructs complementary mask noise during training to reduce the variance of token log-likelihood estimates while maintaining training efficiency.
Experimentally, coupled-GRPO significantly boosts DiffuCoder's performance on code generation benchmarks, notably improving EvalPlus scores by 4.4% with training on only 21K samples. The research also shows that coupled-GRPO trained models experience a smaller performance drop when decoding steps are halved (resulting in a 2x speedup), indicating increased parallelism and reduced reliance on AR bias during decoding.

Critique of Jacobin's Article: Why Kautsky Was Right (and Why You Should Care)
> “Leninists have rarely grappled with these facts, let alone provided a compelling explanation for them. In other words, they have assumed, but not actually demonstrated, that the dual-power / insurrection model of Russia 1917 — a revolution that toppled an autocratic, noncapitalist state, not a parliamentary regime — is relevant for capitalist democracies. Similarly, Post at no point provides any evidence for his assertion that only workers’ councils, not a socialist-led government elected by universal suffrage, are capable of leading a break with capitalism.”
The October Revolution overthrew the provisional government which was a parliament, although there was already a deep crisis caused by WWI at that point
Also, Leninists have talked about these facts
The rise of opportunism in imperialist countries due to the labour aristocracy and the super exploitation of the Third World, the cooption of communist parties in imperialist countries
On another point:
The Bolsheviks didn’t make the dual power situation happen
What happened was the masses spontaneously set up the Soviets in a time of deep political and economic crisis
The point that Leninists make is that in a time of crisis, the masses spontaneously take action (and this has happened in capitalist democracies too), the role of communists is to lead these movements to overthrow the state. The reason why this hasn’t happened is because of the rise of opportunism and the split in the working class
Ironically, the very ‘socialist’ parties that work through Parliament that this articles advocate for actually block this process from happening by diverting the energy into voting
Another point:
> "At the same time, the vast majority of elected left governments have never even tried to move down Kautsky’s suggested path due to the moderating pressure of labor bureaucratization and the immense economic power of the capitalist class."
This also reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the split in the working class and the social basis of these left government
He’s implying that these left parties are radical but they are held back by ‘moderate Labour movements’
But the left parties spring up from the same class basis of these moderate labour movements they represent the interests of the section of the working class that make up these moderate labor movements
Also, if such a radical working class movement exists outside Parliament that is going to push this theoretical socialist party left…. Why doesn’t it just overthrow the state altogether and take power for itself?
> "Avoiding the dead-end of social democratization will above all require a very intense and sustained degree of mass action and independent working-class organization outside of parliament. Without this, even the most well-intentioned government will flounder."
Like… why do all this dancing around? Such a militant movement should and could overthrow the state if parliament becomes so hostile to it
The entire premise of this imaginary scenario is that a militant working class movement exists but only does stuff to keep its elected officials in check
Or when the state and capitalists block its agenda
I also just think the fact that it uses AOC and Sanders as examples kinda ruins the legitimacy of the article because these politicians are imperialists
A few more points:
> "Second, reclaiming Kautsky’s strategy should prompt socialists to focus more on fighting to democratize the political regime, a tradition that has gotten lost since the era of the Second International. Whereas liberals and social democrats generally accept existing governmental rules and structures, Leninists have often been reluctant to proactively fight for major democratic reforms because they seek to completely illegitimate the current state."
Leninism actively promotes the fight for democracy and democratic rights. Pro-migrant rights, solidarity with prisoners, being against anti-protest laws, police brutality etc. Lenin was very clear that these political battles have to be engaged with so we don’t fall into economism. I say again, just look at the BPP (Black Panther Party)
> "Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other newly elected radicals have raised working people’s expectations and changed national politics. Socialists should participate in this electoral upsurge to promote mass movements and to organize hundreds of thousands of people into independent working-class organizations"
These politicians were always imperialist btw, it’s just become very obvious post October 7. Also, very crucially, these politicians were encouraging support for the Democrats, a racist pro-imperialist party but one that was willing to give concessions to some workers. This is opportunistic. This doesn’t mean that socialists shouldn’t engage with such movements (I think US communists know better than I do) but that engagement always has to keep in mind that those politicians don’t represent the interests of all workers and they certainly don’t represent the interests of workers in oppressed countries, if anything I imagine communists would be trying to expose this.
This article is based in Euro Communism, essentially this kind of thinking means that they see the ‘global north’ (once again a term I really hate) is so stable, will never go into an intense crisis, etc that revolution is impossible. So your only hope is to basically form mass socialist parties and hope you get voted in. But at that point you’re not socialist parties, you’re just giving workers a bigger share of the imperialist pie.
Let's contrast these article with the praxis that Che and Fidel reached in Latin America.
These quotes represent Che's ideas on the following:
> "Where a government has come into power through some form of popular vote, fraudulent or not, and maintains at least an appearance of constitutional legality, the guerrilla outbreak cannot be promoted, since the possibilities of peaceful struggle have not yet been exhausted."
He further clarifies that a revolutionary situation arises when:
> "People must see clearly the futility of maintaining the fight for social goals within the framework of civil debate. When the forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law; peace is considered already broken."https://www.marxists.org/archive/guevara/1963/09/guerrilla-warfare.htm
> "It is not necessary to wait until all conditions for making revolution exist; the insurrection can create them. ... [But] where constitutional legitimacy exists, however flawed, guerrilla warfare is premature."
He stresses that mass disillusionment with the state is a prerequisite:
> "The confidence of the electorate in any of the old forms must be completely shattered, confidence in the ability of the old system to honestly organize any aspect of public life shaken to the core."
faculty.chass.ncsu.edu/slatta/…
Guevara's broader writings reinforce this principle:
In a 1959 interview, he condemned electoral systems as tools of oppression:"Democracy cannot consist solely of elections that are nearly always fictitious and managed by rich landowners and professional politicians."
bigother.com/2020/06/14/che-gu…
He linked revolutionary violence to the failure of institutional justice:"Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests; legal interpretations continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers."
marxists.org/archive/guevara/1…
Theoretical Consistency in Anti-Imperialism
Guevara framed armed struggle as a response to exhausted alternatives in global contexts:
> "The feeling of revolt will grow stronger every day among peoples subjected to exploitation, and they will take up arms to gain by force the rights which reason alone has not won them."
bigother.com/2020/06/14/che-gu…

More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far’ in arresting migrants: poll
More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.
While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.
Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government's deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

Stop Killing Games - EU Initiative 1 MILLION ACHIEVED! + More signatures needed
Edit2: As of third of July we've achieved the minimum amount of 1 million signatures! But organizers recommend as many signatures as possible to cover for possible invalidations (1.5M would be ideal). If you have not yet signed, you can still help!
Onto the post.
Yarr citizens of the high seas! The Stop Killing Games movement is still ongoing and we've recently had a second wind. It's within reach!
We're all lovers of media in here, and games currently have no safeguard that guarantees that they won't be locked down long after being released and abandoned. If crackers help us, they can still be played long into the future, but many times there isn't such a possibility, specially in multiplayer games.
This initiative seeks to change that by mainly:
- Disallowing planned obsolesce in paid video games. (Ex: By disallowing phone-home based DRM after the game reaches end of life. Like in Ubisoft's The Crew)
- Ensuring that paid multiplayer games can still be reasonably played long into the future. (Ex: By releasing relevant server hosting software)
If you didn't sign yet, there is only one month left. Tell your friends too.

Telescopio Einstein, anche due premi Nobel a favore della candidatura di Sos Enattos
La Sardegna sarebbe "un sito eccellente" per ospitare il telescopio Einstein : a dirlo sono stati due premi Nobel per la fisica, Arthur McDonald e Takaaki Kajita , che hanno espresso il loro sostegno alla candidatura italiana durante un evento a Expo2025 Osaka organizzato dall'Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare nell'ambito della Settimana della Regione Sardegna.
Arthur McDonald e Takaaki Kajita, insigniti del premio Nobel nel 2015 per i loro studi sulla massa dei neutrini, hanno avuto modo a Osaka di parlare della cooperazione scientifica tra Italia e Giappone nel campo delle onde gravitazionali e hanno anche dimostrato di apprezzare le caratteristiche uniche che contraddistinguono il sito sardo di Sos Enattos, candidato dall'Italia a ospitare il futuro rivelatore di onde gravitazionali.

Bradisismo Campi Flegrei stabile dopo terremoto di magnitudo 4.6: pubblicato il nuovo bollettino INGV
Secondo il bollettino INGV del 1° luglio, nei Campi Flegrei la sismicità settimanale (23-29 giugno) è in calo, con 38 terremoti e magnitudo massima 1.9. Si segnala però una forte scossa di terremoto il 30 giugno. Stabile il sollevamento del suolo a 15 mm/mese. Nella fumarola di Pisciarelli, oltre ai 94° C di media, si segnala una diminuzione dell'emissione di anidride carbonica.
Nei Campi Flegrei, secondo quanto emerge dall'ultimo bollettino dell'Osservatorio Vesuviano dell'INGV del 1° luglio 2025, si registra una sismicità settimanale in calo, ma con un importante evento sismico di magnitudo 4.6 avvenuto il 30 giugno. Durante la settimana di monitoraggio dal 23 al 29 giugno 2025 sono state registrate 38 scosse di terremoto, con una magnitudo massima di 1.9, un dato in diminuzione rispetto ai 58 eventi della settimana precedente. Il bollettino segnala il significativo terremoto di fine mese anche se fuori dal periodo di riferimento settimanale. Il sollevamento del suolo dovuto al bradisismo rimane stabile, con una velocità media di circa 15 mm al mese, in linea con il trend registrato da inizio aprile. Per quanto riguarda i parametri geochimici, la temperatura media registrata presso una fumarola a Pisciarelli è di circa 94 °C. Nello stesso sito, il flusso di CO2 dal suolo ha mostrato una rapida diminuzione locale, che dovrà essere verificata con i dati futuri.

Giuseppe Cesaro, “Si pubblicano troppi libri, abbandono l’attività di scrittore”
Lo scrittore Giuseppe Cesaro in una lunga lettera spiega i motivi della sua decisione: troppe uscite, pochi spazi in libreria, nomi famosi che tolgono spazio agli emergenti i motivi principali
> “Sui libri sventola bandiera bianca” potremmo dire citando un celebra del 1981 di Franco Battiato per raccontare la vicenda di Giuseppe Cesaro, scrittore di Sestri Levante nato nel 1961 e autore professionista dagli anni Ottanta. “Con “Fatico a ricordare il tuo viso. E, ancora di più, la tua voce” (La nave di Teseo) si chiude la mia vicenda di scrittore”. Così inizia la lunga lettera di Giuseppe Cesaro rivolta a tutti: editori, autori e lettori.
> Ma perché ha deciso di abbandonare l’attività di scrittore? Il suo non è un capriccio, ma un grido d’allarme legato al mondo dell’editoria oggi.
> Leggiamo di seguito la sua lettera in cui racconta la sua sofferta decisione.

Mi era passato di mente il dato a dir poco pazzo e avvilente di aver raggiunto il fantomatico slancio di 365 fottuti giorni su Duolingo… e la cosa è assolutamente terribile, perché se ne viene con il suo bel malloppo di implicazioni scomode. (A parte il fatto che non ho iniziato a usare il servizio il 29 giugno 2024 come sembrerebbe, ma una o due settimane prima, perché nel corso dell’anno qualche volta ho perso dei giorni… cazzo di gufo.)

Digital Freedoms Enshrined: Building Unbreakable Constitutional Safeguards for Human Rights in the Age of Surveillance and Algorithms
PDF.
This report advocates for the thorough protection of fundamental human rights in the digital age, arguing that addressing rights protection at a constitutional level offers a stronger, more enduring framework for confronting emerging digital threats than ordinary legislation alone. As digital technologies increasingly influence the exercise of civil and political rights, as well as other fundamental freedoms, robust constitutional safeguards are essential for addressing new challenges—from unwarranted surveillance and censorship to algorithmic governance and data monopolies.Enshrining digital rights in a constitution offers a uniquely durable and robust framework for safeguarding fundamental rights against novel challenges in the digital era. Because constitutional provisions are harder to amend and take precedence over ordinary laws, they help anchor protections for fundamental rights and freedoms across evolving technological contexts. By embedding digital rights in a constitution—often a nation’s most symbolic articulation of shared values—countries can ensure consistent and uniform protection across various jurisdictions, especially in federal systems, while also providing stronger checks against both governmental abuses, such as unwarranted surveillance or censorship, and potential overreach by private actors, including large technology companies or data monopolies. Beyond its legal strength, constitutional recognition sets a clear standard for ethical and accountable corporate conduct and sends a powerful signal at home and internationally that digital rights are taken seriously and safeguarded at the highest legal level.
This report examines the impact of digitalization on fundamental rights and freedoms, discussing how modern digital technologies influence fundamental rights—particularly civil and political rights—and also considers the various actors that shape these rights in the digital age, outlining ways to ensure accountability beyond traditional governance structures. It is divided into several sections that collectively provide an overview of the current landscape of digital rights issues, outlining existing constitutional protections and highlighting considerations for strengthening these protections to meet the challenges posed by the digital age.
The Introduction provides a general introduction and overview, while Chapter 1 delves into how digitalization affects core civil and political rights. This chapter includes an analysis of how freedoms such as speech, expression, association and non-discrimination are being reshaped by modern digital technologies.
Chapter 2 explores the adaptation and expansion of constitutional protections to address the novel challenges presented by digital technologies, covering a range of emerging digital rights, such as digital privacy, data protection, the right to informational self-determination, and rights related to Internet access and connectivity. The chapter also discusses rights aimed at ensuring democratic participation in the digital era and highlights the importance of new rights such as the right to digital disconnection and cybersecurity. To understand how different countries have addressed these issues in their national constitutions, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) has mapped constitutional provisions on these rights, capturing global comparative examples. Additionally, selected case law examples illustrate how courts around the world interpret constitutional rights within digital contexts, often navigating the balance between competing rights and addressing matters of public interest and security.
Chapter 3 assesses the role of new actors, particularly tech companies, and public–private partnerships in the digital domain. It discusses the horizontal application of rights as one way forward in ensuring that non-state actors that assume or are vested with quasi-state powers respect fundamental rights.
The report ends with some short conclusions in Chapter 4.
Previsioni del tempo dieci volte più rapide e mille volte meno impattanti dal punto di vista energetico grazie a un nuovo modello del Centro meteo europeo
Previsioni del tempo sempre più accurate, generate dieci volte più velocemente, con un consumo energetico mille volte inferiore a quello richiesto dai metodi di previsione tradizionali.
Per il Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine (Ecmwf), il cui Data Centre è ospitato al Dama Tecnopolo di Bologna, un ulteriore passo in avanti grazie all’utilizzo dell’intelligenza artificiale, con l’introduzione di un nuovo modello di previsioni meteorologiche che permetterà ai 35 Paesi membri di Ecmwf di migliorare in maniera decisiva i loro servizi al pubblico.
Aifs Ens, questo il nome del nuovo modello diventato operativo il primo di luglio, sarà disponibile per i servizi meteorologici nazionali collegati ad Ecmwf nelle prossime settimane. Il modello permette di costruire diversi scenari probabili su come si svilupperanno le condizioni atmosferiche e sfrutta le opportunità offerte dall'apprendimento automatico e dall'intelligenza artificiale, offrendo un miglioramento del 20% in accuratezza rispetto ai modelli fisici tradizionali.
“Quella introdotta da Ecmwf- dichiara Vincenzo Colla, vicepresidente della Regione Emilia-Romagna con delega allo Sviluppo della rete regionale Alta tecnologia e Tecnopolo di Bologna- conferma la qualità della scelta della Regione di ospitare a Bologna il Data centre del Centro europeo per le previsioni meteorologiche a medio termine, una struttura che continua a fare del Dama Tecnopolo un punto di riferimento per la comunità scientifica internazionale, capace di tenere insieme tecnologia e umanesimo. Le previsioni del tempo sono un elemento sempre più centrale nella nostra società, determinanti per garantire la sicurezza dei cittadini, ma anche per uno sviluppo economico che può contare su strumenti di sicurezza per il territorio”.
