Nearly half a million Americans (as of 2025) are now afflicted with Alpha Gal Syndrome (AGS) which causes an allergic reaction to mammal meat and dairy products, with symptoms like hives, nausea, breathing difficulties, or anaphylaxis appearing hours after consumption. It can also be triggered by products derived from mammals (dairy, glycerin, gelatin, etc.) that are contained in household products such as toothpaste, soaps, and even medicines. Most doctors have never heard of AGS, and of those who have, virtually none offer any kind of cure - their only recommendation being to avoid mammal meat and their derivatives in your diet and on your skin, although people's reactions and sensitivity does vary widely. Some people can go into anaphylaxis from the mere smell of burgers being cooked. AGS starts when a lone star tick (among some others) bites and injects alpha-gal into the skin, prompting the immune system to produce IgE antibodies against it. However, we now ...
I was listening to my favorite podcast today, This Week in Tech with Leo Laporte, Patrick Norton, John C. Dvorak and others (pretty much the old TechTV gang when it was an awesome cable channel, before they were bought by G4 and subsequently run into the ground). But I digress... anyway, they were discussing an awesome service called OpenDNS , so of course I decided to check it out when I got back from lunch. Sure enough, this is a very cool, completely free DNS (domain name service). For those of you who don't know, DNS is what converts Internet name addresses (i.e. www.google.com ) to it's actual IP Address (i.e. 208.67.219.230). DNS was created in the early days of the Internet because humans can remember names a lot easier than number combinations. Typically, when you type an address into a web browser, for example, it goes and runs to your Internet Service Provider's DNS server to say "where the heck is google.com?" to which your ISP's DNS server...
My previous article - The Coming AI Revolution - written in October of 2025 predicted (along with AI) that 50% of the humans in 22 categories of jobs would be replaced by AI in 2025. I listed hundreds of other job categories with predictions for the coming years as well. So, now that 2025 is over, did those predictions come true? In a word, yes. Yes, they did. Overall, e ntry-level hiring is down ~73%; freelance volume is down ~50%; and admin job postings are down ~40%. The economy is currently in "jobless growth" for these specific sectors. The work is getting done (often faster/cheaper), but the human roles are vanishing from the bottom up, as predicted. Some are a little less than 50% replaced at this point, while some are a little more. Here are the 22 jobs that I (in conjunction with AI) predicted would be 50% replaced by AI in 2025 and the results now that 2025 is over: 1 | Data Entry Clerks | Status: Confirmed (>50% Replacement)...
