Salesforce CEO Says AI Enabled Him To Cut 4,000 JobsPosted by msmash on Monday September 01, 2025 @07:13PM from the how-about-that dept.An anonymous reader shares a report:CitarSpeaking to The Logan Bartlett Show on Friday, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said the use of AI agents had enabled him to "rebalance" his headcount in the customer support division by trimming 4,000 jobs. "I've reduced it from 9,000 head to about 5,000 because I need less heads," Benioff said. Benioff called the first eight months of 2025, during which an estimated 10,000 jobs have been lost to AI, "eight of the most exciting months of my career.""There were more than 100 million leads that we have not called back at Salesforce in the last 26 years because we have not had enough people," Benioff said. "We just couldn't call them back. But we now have an agentic sales that is calling back every person that contacts us."

US Tourism Suffers 8.2% DeclinePosted by msmash on Monday September 01, 2025 @08:15PM from the empty-ballparks dept.International tourism to the United States faces an unprecedented 8.2% decline in 2025, with the World Travel and Tourism Council projecting a $12.5 billion loss in visitor spending -- the only decline among 184 economies analyzed. Canadian visitors, traditionally comprising 28% of international arrivals, have dropped by approximately 25% through July.Seattle tour operators report 30-50% fewer Canadian customers with many explicitly citing recent tariff policies and political rhetoric as deterrents. The newly implemented $250 "visa integrity fee" for certain countries compounds existing concerns about immigration policies and National Guard deployments in major cities. Tourism Economics now projects full recovery to pre-pandemic levels won't occur until 2029, three years later than initially forecast.

EconomíaEl empleo cierra su peor verano en seis años con casi 200.000 afiliados menos y 21.900 nuevos parados en agostoEl peor agosto desde 2019 deja el total de afiliados medios en 21,66 millonesEl paro asciende hasta los 2.426.511, su nivel más bajo en este mes desde 2007Educación pierde 75.869 cotizantes y servicios manda al paro a 21.692 personas2/09/2025 - 9:01En el calendario del mercado laboral, agosto se traduce en el final del verano, de ahí que los datos de paro registrado y afiliación del octavo mes del año sean habitualmente negativos. En agosto de 2025 no ha habido excepción a esta situación, sino todo lo contrario: los casi 200.000 afiliados medios menos que bajan el total de cotizantes hasta los 21.666.203 hacen que el de este año sea el peor cierre del 'verano laboral' desde 2019, quitando el puesto al de 2024, que hasta ahora fue el peor para el empleo desde antes de la pandemia. Educación protagoniza, de nuevo, la mayor destrucción de empleo del mes al perder 75.869 cotizantes. El paro aumentó en 21.905 personas, un alza casi protagonizada en su totalidad por el sector Servicios. Con todo, el paro registrado total, en 2.426.511, sigue en mínimos de 2007.
Cita de: Cadavre Exquis en Ayer a las 21:58:24CitarAmericans Are Having Less Sex Than EverPosted by msmash on Monday September 01, 2025 @12:15PM from the times,-they-are-a-changin' dept.Americans are having a record low amount of sex -- even less than they did during the Covid-19 pandemic -- according to a new study led by researchers at the Institute for Family Studies. WSJ:CitarThis continues the downward shift in sexual activity that has been worrying sociologists and psychologists for decades. For the report, called "The Sex Recession," researchers at the IFS analyzed the data on sex and intimacy in the latest General Social Survey produced by NORC at the University of Chicago, which was collected in 2024 and released in May. They found that just 37% of people age 18-64 reported having sex at least once a week, down from 55% in 1990. The decline is even more striking for young adults: Almost a quarter of people age 18-29, or 24%, said they had not had sex in the past year; this is twice as many as in 2010.Much has been written in recent years about the trend of young people having less sex, attributed to everything from stunted social skills to a rise in internet pornography. Yet the IFS study shows that the same trend holds true for people up to the age of 64, of all sexual orientations, both married and single. (After age 64, there was no significant change in the amount of sex people have, largely because this group reports having sex less frequently to begin with, the researchers said.)Saludos.P.D.https://www.statista.com/chart/16058/total-fertility-rate/¿Quién tiene oportunidad, lugar, tiempo, y de ese tiempo, está libre de estrés y preocupaciones? Y más aun en EE.UU. donde el trabajo se lleva a unos extremos absurdos.Porque vamos, si algo mata la libido es tener cosas preocupando en la cabeza y estar cansado/dormido de forma crónica. Donde es más notorio es en Japón, donde ya se lleva tiempo estudiando el tema, aunque yo diría que la enorme presión social en general y la "artificalización" casi total en las relaciones sociales (autovendida de moto de que la tecnología por vena siempre es lo mejor) hace que la gente desista por completo.
