LinkedIn cofounder says AI infrastructure is the 'only reason we're not in a recession' - Business Insider

LinkedIn's CEO said some industries and roles are growing amid a frozen job market. AI safety jobs are one bright spot in a stagnant job market. At LinkedIn's Talent Connect conference on Tuesday, CEO Daniel Shapero said that while hiring has largely "frozen," some roles and industries are still growing. LinkedIn research released Tuesday found that AI safety roles are one of the pockets of growth, rising 91% over the past year. It's a timely topic, given recent high-profile security incidents and ongoing bipartisan AI safety talks. "AI safety is something a lot of people are talking about," CEO Daniel Shapero said at the conference. The field centers on making sure AI systems operate safely and ethically. Jobs can range from technical research and risk mitigation to policy work and the integration of safety frameworks into AI products. These jobs often come with sizable paychecks. Data scientists on OpenAI's Safety team can earn up to $325,000 a year, while Anthropic lists compensation of up to $285,000 for a safeguards enforcement analyst focused on child safety.

David Surkamp, frontman of progressive rock band Pavlov's Dog, has died. He was 73. The band's violinist and mandolinist Abbie Steiling announced the news in a heartfelt tribute on social media on Oct. 14. The cause of death has not been disclosed. "It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our creative force, lead singer, and dear friend, David Surkamp, on October 13," Steiling wrote. "David leaves behind a legacy of endless creativity, unmistakable artistry, and a body of music that has touched lives across generations and around the world. But anyone who knew and loved him knows that his legacy reaches far beyond the songs. "Steiling described Surkamp as having "a profoundly poetic spirit and a romantic heart that found its way into every note, every lyric, and every performance. His music was deeply emotive, reaching straight into the hearts of listeners, giving voice to longing, to love, to beauty, and to the bittersweet ache of it all. ""He always allowed the musicians around him to shine in their strengths, generous with the spotlight and appreciative of what each brought to the music," the post continued.
