Study Claims Over Half of Tech Firms Are Considering ‘Restructuring,’ Thanks to AI

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-10-25 17:45:05

Murmurs about a linkage between the rollout of new AI services and recent waves of layoffs within the tech industry have been ongoing for some time. Similarly, a recent cooling of the job market for coders has also been attributed to the rise of so-called “vibe coding,” in which less skilled technicians create websites and products with the help of an automated assistant. Now, a new report from a firm that works with tech companies claims that a majority of its clients say they are considering

This $30M startup built a dog crate-sized robot factory that learns by watching humans

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-10-25 17:00:00

While many robotics companies are building human-sized robots, or working to automate entire factories, MicroFactory is instead trying to think big by building small. San Francisco-based MicroFactory built a general-purpose, tabletop manufacturing kit that’s about the size of my Siberian Husky’s dog crate. This compact factory includes two robotic arms and can be trained by human demonstration, as well as through AI. “General purpose robots are good, but it’s not necessary [to] be humanoid,” s

De-risking investment in AI agents

For businesses, the potential is transformative: AI agents that can handle complex service interactions, support employees in real time, and scale seamlessly as customer demands shift. But the move from scripted, deterministic flows to non-deterministic, generative systems brings new challenges. How can you test something that doesn’t always respond the same way twice? How can you balance safety and flexibility when giving an AI system access to core infrastructure? And how can you manage cost,

Scientists uncover extreme life inside the Arctic ice

In brief Researchers studied single-celled algae, called diatoms, from the Arctic that were previously assumed to be hibernating in the ice and found they were actually quite active. This activity, which continued when temperatures dropped to -15 C, is the coldest-ever movement recorded for a eukaryotic cell. The diatoms move through a type of gliding, which is enabled by a combination of mucus and molecular motors that are similar to systems seen in human muscles. Given how abundant these di

Automating Distro Updates in CI

For a long time, we had a recurring TODO in our calendar: once a month, check whether any Linux distro we test against got a new stable version—or dropped support for an old one. Sounds simple. In reality, it was annoying, error-prone, and we were always late. Someone had to remember, look up release notes, update our CI matrix, and push a commit. Sometimes we missed a release for weeks, even months. Sometimes we forgot to remove an EOL version. It was busywork, not engineering. So we automate
