The Duffy List: Job Openings & A.I. Literacy For All
For the future of work to work, A.I. literacy needs to be A Thing. The Duffy List is back - and The DL is coming - to help make that happen.
Welcome back — at long last — to The Duffy List
If we’ve learned anything over the past few years, it’s that AI literacy may be the single most important thing any of us can learn. With that in mind, we’re relaunching The Duffy List, not just to share unique and creative job opportunities (though those are still here), but to share ways to prepare for a future of work where A.I. is deeply embedded in … well, everything.
Whether you've been avoiding AI like the plague, playing around with ChatGPT and testing your prompting skills, or tinkering with LLMs for decades (Large Language Models - we’ll get into that in another edition), everyone needs to understand AI and what it’s most useful for.
AI isn't going anywhere, and what makes the most sense to us is helping navigate this new world and use AI as a tool to improve your job search abilities and your career overall. We're still going to bring you job listings via The Duffy List - that's not going to change! - but we’ll also be providing tips and tricks.

A.I. Deep Dive Of The Week: The Echo Bubble is Here
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool; it actively shapes information, perception, and decision-making in far more intricate, nuanced, and subtle ways than any other tech we’ve encountered.
The challenge is no longer about navigating the internet’s filter bubbles, as first introduced by Eli Pariser in 2011, but about understanding the rise of a new phenomenon: "The Echo Bubble."
The original filter bubble concept, coined by Pariser, described how search engines and social media algorithms created isolated informational spheres. These digital environments curated content based on past behavior, making it more difficult for users to encounter diverse perspectives. The concern was that this led to polarization, as individuals became trapped in algorithmically tailored content that reinforced existing beliefs.
14 years later, nobody can doubt just how right he was
As our Echo Bubbles emerge, we are each entering our own versions of reality. AI does not just filter what we see, but reflects back a refined, personalized, and iterative version of our own thoughts.
The illusion of objectivity in AI-generated responses can be even stronger than in traditional search engines or social media feeds because AI mirrors how users think. This has major implications:
If users do not frame their questions effectively, they may receive incomplete or misleading answers.
AI will reinforce biases present in the questions it is asked.
Users may perceive AI as being more “intelligent” than it is, simply because it reflects back their own reasoning structures in a sophisticated way.
The question is no longer whether AI will be part of our lives; it’s whether we will be prepared to use it wisely. Will we recognize the shape of our own reflections in AI’s responses, or will we mistake an echo for the truth?
