How to spot a fake job
A few weekends ago on my national radio show, I shared an amazing gig that pays up to $65 an hour being an AI tutor. You’ll help the chatbot refine answers, prompts and images. Now my inbox is overflowing with people asking how to apply. Here are the sites to check out!
Many of you thought that it was a fake job. No, it’s legit. Fake job posts are everywhere. They might just waste your time, but they can also scam you out of cash and personal info.
How many job posts are fake?
Uh, a lot! About 20% of postings right now are “ghost jobs” aka roles that don’t exist. The field with the most fakes? HR roles.
An active job board makes it look like a company is growing. Nearly two-thirds of hiring managers say it boosts revenue and helps improve morale. Wow, 84% of employers contact applicants who apply for fake positions just in case something opens up later.
🚩 Red flags
Look out for generic job descriptions. Vague phrases like “competitive pay” or “rapid career growth” may signal no real budget or role. Ghost jobs pop up and disappear fast just to stay in search results.
Pro tip: To check a job status on LinkedIn, go to Jobs > My Jobs > Applied. If you see “No longer accepting applications,” but that same listing just got reposted, it might be fake.
🛑 Watch out for scams
Ghost jobs aren’t the only issue. Scammers love using fake listings to line their pockets with your paycheck. For starters, research the company before you reply. Scammers mimic big names by slightly misspelling the URL. Here are some other tricks:
- Weird application process: Legit jobs don’t ask you to apply via personal email or chat apps like WhatsApp or Messenger.
- Too good to be true: If you’re offered a job you never applied for, rushed through an interview and pressured to accept, run.
- Personal info requests: No real employer asks for bank details, Social Security numbers or passports before hiring.
Trust your gut. If something feels off with a job offer, move on. If you’ve been scammed, file a complaint with the FTC. You can also let your state’s attorney general know. Find info on yours at naag.org.

Save battery on your iPad: By default, most apps run in the background and drain power. Social media and messaging apps might need this, but many others don’t. Go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh, check what’s important, and turn off the ones you don’t need.

Egg prices got you scrambling?

Don’t take the bait!
New $2K iPhone, HP bricks, TikTok changes and more to keep you in the know!
👽 Just for the record, sleeve them alone: This is wild. NASA launched the Voyager 1 and 2, each carrying a Golden Record filled with photos and audio representing life on Earth almost 50 years ago. Think a nursing mother, nature pics and human speech. The kicker? Both spacecraft are experiencing major power problems. Aliens are more into comet books anyway.
$5,000
Price of Lamborghini’s baby stroller. The Reef AL Arancio is like a supercar for infants. It has car-like brake pedals, Italian leather and Lamborghini’s iconic logo. They teamed up with Silver Cross to create this “super stroller.” Only 500 were made, so these bougie babies will stand out.
Will AI steal your job next?
92 million jobs could disappear by 2030. A new report says AI is coming for them. Is yours on the list? Plus, iPhone texts to ignore, a smart ring that catches cheaters, and words that expose your ChatGPT habit.
👮 Need help but can’t speak? In many areas of the USA, you can text 911 instead of calling. It’s not available everywhere, so it’s best to check ahead. Visit text911.info to see if it works in your area. It could literally save your life.
Stopping gunshot wounds in seconds? It’s now possible. The FDA approved Traumagel, an algae- and fungi-based hemostatic gel administered via medical syringe. It’s safer and less painful than gauze, and it finds where it needs to go on its own. Just imagine how useful this will be for soldiers in the field.
Why it’s so hard to cancel
Getting out of a subscription is hard by design. Here’s how companies use “cancellation funnels” to keep you paying up.
First foldable iPhone will be over $2,000! Apple is going with a book-style design that’s “AI-driven” for multitasking. It’ll have a 7.8-inch crease-free inner display and a 5.5-inch outer display. Leaks also say Face ID is out this time, replaced by a Touch ID side button. As for the release? Most likely late 2026 or early 2027.
Coming to Google Gemini: Show to tell
Soon, you can open up your phone’s camera with Google Gemini to know what you’re seeing or answer questions in real time. Watch it in action. Now, imagine all the uses from knowing what you’re looking at when traveling to identifying a skin rash that your doctor will say, “You’re a sight for psoriasis.” (I saw you smile!)
Tech how-to: Turn off built-in AI on your computer and phone
Ever feel like your apps are trying a little too hard to be helpful? Maybe they’re suggesting cringy replies, summarizing things you actually wanted to read, or just getting way too pushy.
Let’s dive into how to turn off those AI features that just aren’t working for you.
😱 This is horrifying: A mom says she’ll never let her daughter go to another sleepover again. Why? Her 11-year-old found cameras in her friend’s bedroom. The parents said they were “for security” but turned off. Except … the light was on. So she covered them with a shirt. The parents came in, removed it and that’s when she called her mom to pick her up.

‘Emergency donuts’
Quick reminder: Most old cellphones can still call 911 even without a plan. Federal law requires all cellphones to connect to emergency services, even if they don’t have active service. A 2-year-old in Oklahoma put this to the test by calling for an emergency donut delivery. The dispatcher played along, and the police showed up with Dunkin’ treats.
6 years old
That’s when China plans to start teaching kids about AI, LLMs, algorithms, chatbots and the tech behind them. The goal is to inspire innovation (like DeepSeek) … and train the next generation to win the AI wars of the future. Scary times ahead, folks.
Still have a DVD collection? Check for disc rot. Many Warner Bros. DVDs from 2006 to 2008 are failing prematurely, even though properly cared-for discs should last up to 100 years. Signs of trouble include loading errors or freezing. Warner Bros. will replace them or exchange them for a title of similar value. Contact support at whv@wbd.com.
