LONDON: LinkedIn is to start using artificial intelligence (AI) to help users with job searches by helping them look beyond job titles and locations. The professional networking site said its new AI-powered job search will enable people to type out and search for exactly what they are looking for in a role, rather than relying on filters such as location, industry or title. The online giant said it means users will be able to instead search for jobs using phrases, for example "find me entry-level brand manager roles in fashion" or "jobs for analysts who love solving sustainability challenges." The update comes as concerns continue to be raised about the impact artificial intelligence will have on the jobs market, including fears it could take a number of administrative roles away from human workers in years to come. Last week, a poll from conciliation service Acas found that more than one in four workers were worried that AI will lead to job losses, with almost one in five concerned about the technology making errors. But LinkedIn's Zara Easton said the firm believed the technology could also make it easier for people to find new roles and career paths in a system

In a deeply personal account shared in a now-viral post, Prathap Suthan wrote about the last time he hugged his wife. At the time, it felt like just another morning moment. Now, it holds a different meaning. “Hug well. I remember the last hug my wife gave me. It was that morning, just before we left for the hospital,” he wrote. He explained that for him, it had been a gesture of comfort, an expression of love, warmth, and hope that they would return home together. But looking back, he believed his wife had understood something more. “For her, though I understand it only now, it was something else. It was the quiet, moist hug of someone who knew she wasn’t coming

In a now-viral post on LinkedIn, a freelance working professional said she received a cheesecake instead of her payment after sending an invoice. A woman's LinkedIn post went viral. (Representational image from Pexels) New Delhi, UPDATED: May 9, 2025 18:58 IST A freelance working professional said she received a cheesecake instead of her payment after sending an invoice. Her post about the odd exchange has gone viral on social media. LinkedIn often brings forward stories of workplace challenges and client experiences, but a user's recent post added a sweet, if confusing, twist. Harnoor Saluja, a communications professional, said in her post, “When I thought invoices couldn’t get weirder, a client sent me a cheesecake.” “Yes. A whole cheesecake. Not a thank-you note, not a payment—just dairy-based confusion,” she added. She explained that she had shared her address, expecting a monetary transfer. Instead, the client interpreted it as a signal to send dessert. “They saw it and thought, ‘This freelancer? She needs dessert’,” she said. Saluja added, “Look, I love cake, but last I checked, I wasn’t running a pastry subscription. Are we invoicing in tiramisu now? Should I start accepting PayPal and panna cotta?” Her post continued with a mix

Did Elmo get sacked as a result of President Trump’s attempts to defund public media? A LinkedIn post purportedly written by the lovable red Muppet — in which Elmo says he “was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts” — has gone viral on social media. A May 7 post by a user on X about Elmo’s alleged layoff notice already has more than 2 million views. But as you might suspect, the supposed Elmo post did not originate from Sesame Workshop, the not-for-profit company that produces “Sesame Street.” The post appears to have come from an unverified “Elmo from Sesame Street” account that is no longer available on LinkedIn. Popular on Variety A Sesame Workshop spokesperson confirmed to Variety that the post was not from a Sesame Workshop account and that it was taken down by LinkedIn. In the fake post, according to the version circulating online, “Elmo” wrote: “Hi LinkedIn, Unfortunately Elmo was recently laid off because of the federal budget cuts. Elmo worked at Sesame Street for 45 years. Elmo is sad. Elmo loved his time at Sesame Street.” The post continued, “Elmo is going to miss his friends Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie, Bert

Serving tech enthusiasts for over 25 years. TechSpot means tech analysis and advice you can trust. Facepalm: Studies show that most people still reuse weak passwords across multiple accounts despite years of warnings from cybersecurity experts against the practice. Recent leaks reveal that poor password discipline even occurs at the upper levels of the United States government. Leaked passwords from past security breaches reveal that Tulsi Gabbard, who recently became the US Director of National Intelligence, reused a weak password on multiple accounts for email and other services. All of the breaches occurred several years ago, and a spokesperson claimed Gabbard changed the passwords multiple times since then, but the revelations might add to recent scrutiny of government cybersecurity discipline. The accounts included Gmail, Dropbox, LinkedIn, MyFitnessPal, and other services. Although what information was shared using the accounts remains unclear, they were in use while Gabbard served on multiple congressional committees that granted her access to sensitive information. Worryingly, Wired discovered the passwords because they appeared in multiple troves of leaked passwords that emerged between 2012 and 2019. The breaches that exposed the recycled passwords likely occurred even earlier. Such situations are precisely why cybersecurity experts strongly discourage using the same password
