Těžko říct, kdy a jestli se vůbec ještě vrátíme k příběhům ze série Kingdom Come. Naštěstí není potřeba čekat na herní pokračování. Komiks Ztracené příběhy vypráví o dobře známých postavách, které by si i ve hrách zasloužily větší prostor. Neměl by chybět v knihovně žádného zapáleného fanouška.

Merriam-Webster, the US publisher of some of the world’s best-known dictionaries, has named “slop” the word of the year for 2025.

“We define slop as digital content of low quality that is produced usually in quantity by means of artificial intelligence.” All that stuff dumped on our screens, captured in just four letters: the English language came through again,” Merriam-Webster writes, continuing:

“The flood of slop in 2025 included absurd videos, off-kilter advertising images, cheesy propaganda, fake news that looks pretty real, junky AI-written books, ‘workslop’ reports that waste coworkers’ time… and lots of talking cats. People found it annoying, and people ate it up.”

Merriam-Webster likens the word “slop” to terms like “slime”, “sludge” and “muck”, and says it conveys a wet, unpleasant sound. Something you’d rather not touch. Over the year, the word is considered to have set the tone for how the AI threat is discussed. Less apocalyptic and more mocking. An expression of a feeling that while AI wants to replace creativity, it’s not always very good at it.

The server market hit a record in the third quarter of 2025 with revenues of $ 112.4 billion, according to IDC. That’s a whopping 61 percent increase compared to the same period in 2024.

Sales of x86 servers grew 32.8 percent to $76.3 billion, while sales of non-x86 servers rose 192.7 percent to $36.2 billion. Servers with embedded GPUs grew 49.4% and accounted for more than half of the market’s total revenue.

The US was the fastest growing region with a 79.1% increase, followed by Canada at 69.8% and China at 37.6%. Asia-Pacific grew by 37.4%, Europe, Middle East and Africa by 31% and Japan by 28.1%. Latin America increased by 4.1%.

The increase is traced to massive AI investments by hyperscalers and cloud providers. According to IDC, the strong growth is likely to continue as AI adoption and new large-scale data center projects increase.

Browser extensions with more than 8 million installs are harvesting users’ complete and extended AI conversations and selling them for marketing purposes, according to data collected from the Google and Microsoft pages hosting them.

Security firm Koi discovered the eight extensions, which as of late Tuesday night remained available in both Google’s and Microsoft’s extension stores. Seven of them carry “Featured” badges, which are endorsements meant to signal that the companies have determined the extensions meet their quality standards. The free extensions provide functions such as VPN routing to safeguard online privacy and ad blocking for ad-free browsing. All provide assurances that user data remains anonymous and isn’t shared for purposes other than their described use.

A gold mine for marketers and data brokers

An examination of the extensions’ underlying code tells a much more complicated story. Each contains eight of what Koi calls “executor” scripts, with each being unique for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and five other leading AI chat platforms. The scripts are injected into webpages any time the user visits one of these platforms. From there, the scripts override browsers’ built-in functions for making network requests and receiving responses.

Na WhatsAppu se šíří nový podvod, který ovšem vůbec nevypadá jako hackerský útok. Žádná krádež hesla. Žádné narušení zabezpečení. Žádné zjevné varovné signály. Místo toho jsou lidé trikem donuceni, aby útočníkům sami poskytli přístup, a to pouhým provedením toho, co vypadá jako běžný ověřovací krok. Bezpečnostní experti Avastu tento nový typ útoku nazývají ghostpairing, protože útočníci si při něm tiše vytvářejí „zařízení duchů“, které žije uvnitř vašeho účtu.

The US economy added 64,000 jobs in November, but the slide in tech jobs continued, with the telecom sector and computer systems design seeing declines.

The US Bureau of Labor Statistics said the number of people employed in November totaled 163.7 million, while the number of unemployed was 7.1 million.

The overall unemployment rate rose to 4.6%, up from 4.4% in September. (The BLS did not release a jobs report in October because of the government shutdown going on at the time.)

The telecom sector lost 600 jobs, with the number of people employed in November pegged at 598,800, down from 599,400 in the previous report, according to a sector-wise breakdown provided by BLS. The telecom sector employed 614,500 in November 2024.

The hardest-hit area involved computer systems design and related services, which lost 3,200 jobs. The number employed in that sector was 2,403,200 in November, declining from 2,406,400 previously. The employee count in that sector was 2,444,700 a year ago.

According to the US Census Bureau, these jobs include tech support, programming, and systems integration positions.

CompTIA analyzed the BLS data and pegged total tech job losses at 6,878. “The bulk of reductions occurred in the IT and custom software services and systems design category,” the group said in a statement.

CompTIA estimates technology companies employ some 5.3 million workers, with 6.6 million people in tech occupations across all sectors.

“Tech occupation employment, which encompasses employers across all industry sectors, declined by an estimated 134,000 workers,” CompTIA said.

Going into 2026, the job market in the tech industry doesn’t look any rosier, according to numbers released by Janco Associates earlier this month.

“We forecast there will continue to be a decrease in the size of the US job market for IT pros through the first quarter of 2026,” Victor Janulaitis, CEO of Janco Associates, said in a blog post.

Although IT professional hiring rose to 95,000 in October from 94,000 in September, that increase couldn’t offset the job losses elsewhere, Janulaitis said.

Many job cuts have been attributed to the rise of AI technologies, which can automate tasks typically done by humans. Challenger, Gray and Christmas, which releases its own employment numbers, attributed 31,039 job losses (tech and non-tech) to AI; that was second to 50,437 job losses due to cost-cutting measures.

The ongoing business pivot to AI is affecting software developers, who have been long in demand. That is not so much the case now, said Kye Mitchell, head of Experis North America, a division of services firm ManpowerGroup.

That softening underscores “a pivot toward data and machine learning expertise,” Mitchell said.

AI skills in job postings are up 5% currently compared to the same time in 2024. That signals early signs of structural change, Mitchell said.

Postings for data scientists are up 219%, database architects have climbed 507%, and computer network support specialists are up 349%, Experis said in additional data shared with Computerworld.

“For professionals…, it is clear: Upskill in AI, data engineering, and security to stay ahead,” Mitchell said.
