‘Workslop’: AI-Generated Work Content Is Slowing Everything Down

AI slop isn’t limited to cringey cat videos on Facebook anymore; it has made its way into the workplace. The Harvard Business Review recently coined a term for low-quality, AI-generated work documents—workslop. The respected business publication argues that this growing pile of phoned-in memos and reports is one reason many companies are seeing little return on their AI investments. The report lands as the AI industry keeps booming. The U.N. recently projected the global AI market will rocket

Alloy is bringing data management to the robotics industry

Robotics companies often have to deal with a simple but confounding problem: Robots produce a lot of data. Even a simple robot can easily produce up to a terabyte of data per day, since they continuously capture data from cameras and sensors. Sydney, Australia-based Alloy thinks it can help with that issue: the startup is building data infrastructure for robotics companies to help them process and organize all the data their robots collect from various sources, including sensors and cameras.

Startups and founders could be hardest hit by $100,000 H-1B visas

U.S. President Donald Trump's plans to place $100,000 fees on H-1B visa applications will disproportionately harm America's startup space, founders and venture capitalists told CNBC this week. H-1B visas — which allow companies to temporarily hire foreign workers in skilled occupations such as IT, healthcare and engineering — were already difficult to secure for U.S. startups, due to limited annual quotas. Over the past year, Desmond Lim, CEO and co-founder of HR, payroll and hiring tech platf

Transforming recursion into iteration for LLVM loop optimizations

Abstract Recursive algorithms are a natural and expressive way to traverse complex data structures, but they often miss opportunities for optimization in modern compiler infrastructures like LLVM. This thesis explores a novel technique that temporarily transforms recursive traversals into synthetic loop-like structures, enabling existing loop-specific optimizations to apply, before transforming them back. By extending Clang’s semantic analysis and implementing a custom LLVM transformation pass,

AI-generated “workslop” is destroying productivity?

A confusing contradiction is unfolding in companies embracing generative AI tools: while workers are largely following mandates to embrace the technology, few are seeing it create real value. Consider, for instance, that the number of companies with fully AI-led processes nearly doubled last year, while AI use has likewise doubled at work since 2023. Yet a recent report from the MIT Media Lab found that 95% of organizations see no measurable return on their investment in these technologies. So m
