AI job tools are stealing the spotlight while AI-powered criminal networks get their digital kneecaps busted. Cover letters are dying but CEO coding is thriving - just another day in AI's wild November.
๐ MARKET PULSE
Today's developments reveal a market increasingly shaped by infrastructure constraints (power limitations) and adaptation to AI-driven disruption of established workflows (cover letters). This represents a shift from pure compute focus to the broader ecosystem challenges of AI scaling, with power infrastructure emerging as a critical differentiator alongside compute capacity.

๐ฎ 7-DAY OUTLOOK
Expect announcements from major AI players about power infrastructure investments within days. HR tech companies will rapidly introduce new candidate evaluation tools to replace cover letter screening. Smaller AI companies without infrastructure advantages will face increased scrutiny from investors concerned about power access. Watch for regulatory attention shifting toward energy usage and grid stability as AI's power demands become more visible.
AI IS KILLING THE COVER LETTER (AND HR DEPARTMENTS ARE FREAKING OUT)
The year is 2025, and AI has found its latest victim: the humble cover letter. According to The Economist's report yesterday, AI tools have gotten SO good at cranking out personalized job application letters that HR departments can't tell what's human-written anymore. It's like when Instagram filters got too good and suddenly everyone had perfect skin โ the signal got lost in the noise. Companies are scrambling to find new ways to evaluate candidates since their traditional first filter has basically turned into digital confetti. Some are pivoting to skills assessments, others to video interviews where they hope (for now) that humans still have an edge. Plot twist: the very tools making cover letters obsolete might become the new gatekeepers, as AI-powered screening tools evolve to catch... AI-written applications. It's turtles all the way down, folks!

Share this with someone who needs to see what's really happening in AI
International law enforcement from nine countries just smashed three major cybercrime rings yesterday, including Rhadamantys malware that had compromised over 100,000 crypto wallets (your digital money is slightly safer today).

CAN AI SAFETY BE BOOTSTRAPPED WITHOUT DEFINING IT?
An intriguing new paper dropped on arXiv yesterday (arXiv:2511.09493) tackling one of AI's most vexing paradoxes: how do we build safety into systems when we can't even define what 'safety' means? The research proposes a bootstrapping approach where AI systems themselves help refine safety constraints through iterative learning. For builders, this means a shift from rigid safety guardrails to adaptive frameworks that evolve with deployment. If you're developing commercial AI this week, this methodology might help you implement more nuanced safety measures without waiting for perfect definitions. Think of it as defensive programming that learns from its own near-misses.

DATA CENTERS' POWER FLEX MIGHT COST US BILLIONS
New research dropped yesterday showing that the supposed flexibility of data centers to shut down during peak power demand is mostly fictional. Here's why this matters for your AI investments: as AI compute demands surge in 2025, the fiction that data centers can simply 'turn off' during grid stress is crumbling. Bloomberg reports this approach could cost utility customers billions. Watch for companies building their own power infrastructure (like Microsoft and Google) to gain massive advantages as power constraints tighten. For investors, energy self-sufficiency is becoming as important as chip supply in evaluating AI infrastructure plays. The companies solving the power problem will have a structural advantage in the AI race.
๐ ๏ธ TOOL SPOTLIGHT
Goodfella.app
Launched yesterday, this fresh 'Wellness Intelligence' platform is generating buzz for its unique approach to mental health tracking. While details are still emerging (with only minimal Hacker News engagement so far), Goodfella appears to be blending emotional intelligence algorithms with personalized wellness insights. One to watch as AI moves deeper into the health space.
๐ผ SUCCESS STORY
AirGradient
Who says CEOs can't code? Yesterday, AirGradient's chief exec shared how they built a complete native iOS air quality app in just 60 days despite never touching Swift before. The secret sauce? AI-assisted development that let them parallel-process CEO duties while coding. Their agentic approach involved having AI generate detailed specs based on existing products, then iteratively building the app. This isn't just a cool tech story โ it's a glimpse of how executive roles might evolve when AI handles the heavy coding lift.
