Holup…are stereograms (Magic Eye images) one of the last bastions of communication that can ONLY be transmitted human-human? Unless someone has trained a model specifically for this, I’m almost certain stereograms, which require binocular depth perception (stereopsis) to see

I looked at the evidence that AI is replacing entry-level workers in white collar jobs. Bottom line: the scale/timing of job loss is uncertain, but this is not just hype. Companies are really doing it. nytimes.com/2025/05/30/tec…
