AI NEWS: Elon Musk believes that the rise of AI will make all jobs ‘optional’ in the long term.

Plus, major developments from OpenAI, Arc, Google DeepMind, BrainBridge, Cohere, and Amazon.

Here's everything going on in AI right now: At VivaTech conference today, Elon Musk said that the rise of AI will make all jobs ‘optional’ in the long term.

"If you want to do a job as a hobby, you can do a job. But otherwise, AI and robots will provide any goods and services that you want"

Zapier Central’s Chrome extension is one of the most underrated AI tools right now.

It scrapes any website you're on and then automates actions across 6,000+ apps.

Here's a simple use case that my team and I are implementing to save time: Some quick context before we get into it:

@therundownai, we have an automated AI job board, and we hand-pick 4 new jobs from that board every day to highlight in the newsletter

This simple workflow automates that process.

H/T to @b_lake for the implementation and idea!
