Episode 259
Welcome to another episode of Yappin N Shxt!
In today's episode:
- fake job seekers—many of whom are agents of foreign governments looking to steal customer data or trade secrets—are exploiting generative AI and deepfake software to appear as the perfect candidates for remote roles.
- By 2028, 1 in 4 job candidates will be fake, according to the research firm Gartner. Companies are learning how to fight the scourge of AI-enhanced impostors, but some still slip through the cracks: Per the DOJ, more than 300 companies have accidentally hired fake applicants with ties to North Korea.
- MLB considering salary cap starting negotiations near December 2026.
- MLB, which has never had a salary cap, is the only major US pro sports league without one. Critics argue it allows teams in big markets to vastly outspend other clubs, hurting the fan experience. But the players union has long opposed a cap, as it would limit salaries and decrease leverage in contract negotiations. The last time the league tried to implement a salary cap (1994), the players went on strike, canceling months of the season.
- U of Colorado retired Sanders and Hunters jerseys.
