Global demand for software engineers accelerated sharply at the start of 2026, with more than 100,000 new jobs posted this month as companies pushed deeper into AI-driven development. New data from JobsWithGPT, cited in a report published by Universal Business Operating System (UBOS), shows 105,115 software engineering positions were posted worldwide in January, reflecting sustained digital transformation across enterprises. The hiring surge spans traditional business applications, core engineering roles and a growing list of AI and machine-learning specialties, as employers balance infrastructure needs with the rapid expansion of AI-powered products. Of the roles posted in January, 13,985 were listed as…

The president of Bitwise says artificial intelligence agents and cryptocurrencies are converging in ways that could bypass traditional banking systems entirely. In a new post on X, Teddy Fusaro says autonomous AI systems will require financial infrastructure that moves at machine speed, not human speed, and that crypto is uniquely positioned to fill that role. Fusaro says the shift is structural, noting AI agents and crypto naturally reinforce each other. “AI agents and cryptocurrencies fit naturally together in ways many don’t understand yet. Together, they will form systems where software can think, decide, and transact without waiting on humans or…
Tech tycoon Elon Musk says the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence has pushed humanity past a critical threshold. In a new post on X, Midjourney founder David Holz says he has done more personal coding projects over the holidays than in the last 10 years with the assistance of AI. Holz says that while AI is not yet perfect, he can see that we’ve entered a point of no return. “It’s crazy. I can sense the limitations, but I *know* nothing is going to be the same anymore.” In reply, Musk says, “We have entered the Singularity.” Technological singularity is…
Perplexity AI co-founder and CEO Aravind Srinivas says the next major shift in artificial intelligence may not come from data centers, but from users’ personal devices. In an interview on PGX Ideas, Srinivas describes a future where AI adapts to users locally, watching how tasks are performed and gradually automating them without sending data back to centralized servers. He says the key breakthrough would be persistent, personalized learning that stays on the device. “Imagine we crack something like test-time training, where there are some tasks that you repeatedly do on your local system and the AI watches it, and you’re…
A principal Google engineer says recent advances in coding agents are no longer theoretical and are already matching complex internal systems built by large teams. In a new post on X, Jaana Dogan says Google has been working on distributed agent orchestration systems for more than a year, with mixed alignment and slow progress across teams. A distributed agent orchestration system coordinates multiple specialized AI agents to work together on complex tasks, forming a unified system that communicates, shares data and manages workflows. She says she gave Anthropic’s coding model a detailed description of the same problem her team had…
Anthropic is preparing one of the largest single AI infrastructure deployments ever disclosed, bypassing hyperscalers to directly control its own compute stack. According to independent research firm SemiAnalysis, Anthropic plans to directly purchase close to one million TPUv7 units from Broadcom and deploy them inside facilities it controls. Under the structure, Broadcom will sell the TPU systems directly to Anthropic rather than routing them through a cloud provider. The physical infrastructure layer will be handled by third-party partners, with TeraWulf, Hut 8 and Cipher Mining providing data center infrastructure. Operational deployment at the site level will be handled by Fluidstack,…
Banking giant JPMorgan Chase says the majority of billionaires around the world are now using AI as a tool to gain an advantage, as the tech moves from hype to habit. In its Principal Discussions Report 2025, JPMorgan researchers conducted hour-long conversations with 111 billionaire principals across 28 countries, representing more than $500 billion in combined net worth and spanning over 15 industries. JPMorgan’s research shows that AI adoption is no longer marginal at the top of the wealth pyramid. Nearly 80% of billionaire principals report using AI in their personal lives, while 69% say they actively deploy it inside their…
A former Morgan Stanley executive believes that AI agents could send Bitcoin (BTC) rallying hard this year. In a new interview with Anthony Pompliano, Jordi Visser says rising global manufacturing activity and accelerating money velocity could set up a powerful environment for Bitcoin and higher-beta altcoins. Visser first takes note of the historical relationships between the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI), an economic indicator, and crypto performance. Visser believes the PMI will climb this year as AI agents drive productivity gains in Corporate America. “So for me, when the PMIs are going higher, historically, all coins have outperformed. The ecosystem of…
Michael Burry is escalating his criticism of Tesla, noting that its valuation rests on ideas that destroy shareholder value rather than create it. In a series of posts on X, the investor behind “The Big Short” attacks Tesla’s humanoid robot ambitions and links the company’s long-term outlook to dilution-driven erosion of present value. Burry says Tesla’s long-term narrative related to its Optimus project is unrealistic and disconnected from economic constraints. “Humanoid robots are a vanity project, an inexplicably stupid idea. We need robots that do things humanoids cannot, not a neo-Aryan army. The future of Tesla is an army of…
The US stock market’s growing dependence on a small group of AI leaders, particularly OpenAI, is creating a fragile setup if those companies fail to meet massive long-term commitments, warns Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Speaking in a new CNBC interview, Sosnick says markets are increasingly anchored to expectations that a handful of AI companies can scale fast enough to justify what is already priced into stocks. “We’re relying on a cadre of private, hopefully soon-to-be public, AI companies who have to scale up immensely to meet the commitments that they have.” He points to OpenAI as a…
