gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-11-13 22:00:26

A new report from MIT is casting doubt on the hype around the financial value AI brings to businesses, and may be triggering a small tech stock sell-off on Tuesday. The report, The GenAI Divide: State of AI in Business 2025, found that the promised AI gold rush isn’t paying off for most companies yet. Despite the major push to adopt AI tools in the corporate world, fewer than one in ten AI pilot programs have generated real revenue gains. The rest are having no impact on a company’s bottom lin

Improvements to OCaml code editing: the basics of a refactor engine

When James Cox, the former leader of Uber’s ride-share product, UberPool, left that company in 2019, the Silicon Valley giant had abandoned its autonomous vehicle development and sold off the division entirely.

For months, the mantra inside the White House has been a MAGA version of “Keep calm and carry on.” President Donald Trump’s inner circle and more junior aides have embraced the term “No panicans”—specifically around tariffs—to signal there is no room to panic over, and certainly no room for dissent from, the president’s economic policies.
