Will artificial intelligence take your job? A recent Stanford study provides six facts supporting «the hypothesis that the AI revolution is beginning to have a significant and disproportionate impact on entry-level workers in the American labor market.» 

The study noted that «since the widespread adoption of generative AI, early-career workers (ages 22-25) in the most AI-exposed occupations have experienced a 13% relative decline in employment.»

Easily automated jobs are most affected

The decline in employment can be seen primarily in occupations where AI automates the work rather than when it augments people’s labor. The study found «substantial declines in employment» for those in their early 20s working in fields most exposed to AI, including customer service and software development.

By contrast, employment for more experienced workers in those fields and those working in less AI-exposed fields like nursing «has remained stable or continued to grow,» the study said. 

The research showed that job declines remained even when such considering such industry shocks as interest-rate changes. The adjustments are more visible in employment than compensation, meaning AI might affect employment more than wages, at least for now. The patterns also hold in jobs that aren’t affected by remote work and for both fields with a high share of college graduates and those without.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, overall unemployment remains relatively stable. July’s rate was 4.2%, slightly up from 4% in May and 4.1% in June.

Since Elden Ring Nightreign, the online multiplayer spinoff of 2022’s Elden Ring, launched in May, its developer has ramped up the difficulty. Now, Nightreign is about to get even more challenging. 

A new «high-difficulty challenge mode» called Deep of Night is set to launch on Sept. 11, according to a post from publisher Bandai Namco. Players who take on the challenge will be rewarded with new relics and the self-satisfaction of taking on another challenge put forth by developer FromSoftware. 

When does Deep of Night mode launch? 

The new mode will launch on Sept. 11 for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X and S. 

How much will Deep of Night cost? 

Bandai Namco did not state any price for the update, which means it will likely be free like the duos mode and Everdark bosses updates. 

What’s different in a Deep of Night run versus a regular Nightreign run? 

Bandai Namco says the new mode will be more difficult in various ways. To start, enemies will be tougher than usual. How tough remains to be seen, as they start off very weak at the beginning of the run, and slowly ramp up as players progress. 

In regular runs, the players decide which Nightlord, or final boss, they face. In Deep of Night, players won’t know until they reach the end. In regular runs, players can select what terrain the map will take, which helps strategize how a run could go, but that won’t be an option in Deep of Night. 

The biggest difference in Deep of Night runs is how they’ll be split into Depths. Normal Nightreign runs take place across three days; the first two days take about 15 minutes each, with a night boss to defeat, and the third day is just the final Nightlord. 

According to the post, Deep of Night will have five Depths, each tougher than the other. Depths 4 and 5 will also have an endless battle, which raises the question of how «endless» these battles will be. 

What can I get for completing a Deep of Night run? 

Players can apparently earn Depths Relics only on Deep of Night runs. In Nightreign, relics are equippable powerups that characters can use to improve a certain stat, provide a certain item at the start of the run or add an extra effect to a special attack. These Depths Relics could also have a detrimental effect on them that could reduce a certain stat for player or give a special effect. The relics earned can then be used on later runs. 

There will also be more weapons available on Deep of Night runs. These weapons could be more powerful than those found in regular runs, but they will also come with a debuff, giving players a lot more to think about. Unlike relics, weapons do not carry over to subsequent runs. 

Elden Ring Nightreign is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X and S for $40.
