Wall Street’s AI Bubble Is Worse Than the 1999 Dot-com Bubble, Warns a Top Economist

Back in 1999, Wall Street lost its collective mind over the internet. Companies with no revenue were suddenly worth billions, “eyeballs” were treated as currency, and market analysts predicted a frictionless future where everything would be digital. Then the bubble burst. Between March 2000 and October 2002, an estimated five trillion dollars in market value vanished into thin air. Today, it is happening again. This time, the magic word is not “.com.” It is “AI.” According to Torsten Slok, the

Samsung may have accidentally revealed its tri-fold’s name, and it’s not very exciting

TL;DR Samsung has filed a trademark for its upcoming triple-screen foldable. The filing reveals the name “Galaxy Z TriFold,” but we’re skeptical of this being final. The foldable is rumored to launch in October, but with availability limited to China and South Korea. Samsung’s progress on a new style of foldable with three inner screen faces instead of two is no longer a secret. It has repeatedly teased the new shape and even showcased a working prototype at Mobile World Congress 2025 of what

N8n vs. node-red, which to use for AI workloads

n8n vs node-red Daniel Payne 3 min read · 1 day ago 1 day ago -- Listen Share Which to use Photo by Stackie Jia on Unsplash TLDR Try both, but my personal opinion is: n8n if you are using public cloud services for your data. But you will need to use something else if you want to visualize your information, e.g. ObservableHQ. node-red if you are using private sources, especially file based data or sensor data. But you will need to use something else for AI intensive workloads, e.g. FlowiseA

Best T-Mobile Plans: How to Choose and Which Ones to Pick in 2025

The T-Mobile Essentials Saver plan offers unlimited data usage and includes 50GB of "Premium" data, which is the fastest-capable 5G rate available in your area. After 50GB, speeds are reduced to 3G levels for the remainder of the month. However, that Premium may not always be so premium: T-Mobile notes in the fine print that "Essentials customers may notice speeds lower than other customers and further reduction if using >50GB/month, due to data prioritization." You can use your phone as a mobi

Slack bolsters search with AI, adds transcriptions and summaries for huddles

As the race to bake in AI features into productivity apps intensifies, Slack is bolstering search on its app with AI features, adding transcription and summaries for huddles, and a way to see recaps of channels and threads. Using AI, Slack now lets you search across channels as well as connected apps (like Google Drive, Salesforce and Teams) to surface relevant files and conversations. This feature will be available on Slack’s Business and Enterprise plans. Image Credits: Slack The company is

In defense of air-conditioning

We should all be aware of the growing electricity toll of air-conditioning, but the AC hate is misplaced. Yes, AC is energy intensive, but so is heating our homes, something that’s rarely decried in the same way that cooling is. Both are tools for comfort and, more important, for safety. So why is air-conditioning cast as such a villain? In the last days of June and the first few days of July, temperatures hit record highs across Europe. Over 2,300 deaths during that period were attributed to t

The New Intern on Wall Street Is an AI, and It’s Already Taking Jobs

The transformation underway in finance should give pause to anyone who still thinks artificial intelligence is a distant threat. On July 15, Wall Street met its most overqualified and tireless intern. AI safety and research company Anthropic, a chief rival to OpenAI, unveiled its new “Financial Analysis Solution,” an enhanced version of its Claude AI assistant designed to take over the research, modeling, and compliance grunt work that finance teams typically rely on junior analysts to perform.

We now have a better idea of when the Samsung tri-fold will launch

Samsung TL;DR A long-time leaker claims that Samsung will launch its first triple-screen foldable or tri-fold device in September. This comes a week after Samsung’s mobile head said the company wants to launch the device before the end of 2025. Samsung’s tri-fold is said to offer a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 10-inch folding screen, and the same rear cameras as the Z Fold 7. Samsung‘s mobile chief confirmed last week that the company aims to launch its first triple-screen foldable phone (also

How these proposed standards aim to tame our AI wild west

ferrantraite/Getty Images Technology standardization has been something of an elusive holy grail, with new tech emerging faster than standards groups can keep up. Yet, somehow, things eventually come together -- at least for mature systems -- and achieve interoperability, be it email networks or developer tools. Now, a new race against time has come to the fore, with efforts to tame one of the fastest-developing technologies seen to date -- artificial intelligence. Can standards groups, with t

A recap on May/June stability at Neon

Details of incidents and what we did to prevent more in the future Starting in May, we had a series of feature launches with agentic AI partners that gained far more momentum than we predicted. In two short timespans, the rate of new database creation increased more than 5x, and the rate of branch creation increased more than 50x. While we were humbled by the uptick, the significant burst in operational load caused a lot of strain in the Neon platform, manifesting as more incidents over the cou

Co-op confirms data of 6.5 million members stolen in cyberattack

UK retailer Co-op has confirmed that personal data of 6.5 million members was stolen in the massive cyberattack in April that shut down systems and caused food shortages in its grocery stores. Co-op (short for the Co-operative Group) is one of the United Kingdom's largest consumer co-operatives, operating food stores, funeral services, insurance, and legal services.

This '90s Movie Is a Sci-Fi Techno-Noir Gem, and It's Streaming Free on Tubi

Techno-noir may not have ever been a major genre, but it delivers twists and turns in a futuristic city where things are darker than they seem. Films like Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys popularized the genre, but they're far from the only options. One of my overlooked favorites of the genre is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, the underrated gem preceded The Matrix by a year, and

Crypto rises on renewed optimism House will pass key stablecoin legislation this week

Cryptocurrencies and several stocks tied to the blockchain ecosystem rallied Wednesday after the House approved a procedural vote to consider three key bills governing crypto regulation after Republican lawmakers halted their passage Tuesday.

New Research Shows Data Breaches Keep Coming. Here's How to Protect Yourself

The personal data of Americans continues to be under threat from cybercriminals looking to steal it for their own financial gain, according to a new report from the Identity Theft Resource Center. The nonprofit group, which focuses on helping victims of identity theft, said Wednesday that 1,732 data compromises were reported for the first six months of this year, resulting in 165.7 million victim notifications. The number of reported compromises represents an 11% increase from the same period

Louis Vuitton says regional data breaches tied to same cyberattack

Luxury fashion giant Louis Vuitton confirmed that breaches impacting customers in the UK, South Korea, and Turkey stem from the same security incident, which is believed to be linked to the ShinyHunters extortion group. Since last week, the retailer has been notifying customers that their info was exposed in a data breach, first in South Korea, then in Turkey, and on Friday in the United Kingdom. "Despite all security measures in place, on July 2, 2025, we became aware of a personal data breac

Claude Code's new tool is all about maximizing ROI in your organization - how to try it

Scale AI lays off 14% of staff, largely in data-labeling business

In Brief Data-labeling startup Scale AI is laying off 200 employees, roughly 14% of its staff, and cutting ties with 500 of its global contractors, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday. The cuts come just a month after Meta hired Scale AI’s CEO in a $14.3 billion deal. In a memo obtained by Bloomberg, interim CEO Jason Droege told staff that Scale AI had too quickly scaled its core data-labeling business — in which the startup supplied AI labs with labeled, structured data to train AI models.

YouTube TV might offer you $96 off NFL Sunday Ticket if you canceled last season

TL;DR Some former YouTube TV subscribers are getting $96 NFL Sunday Ticket discounts via email. The offer targets users who canceled after last season and is valid until August 7. Discount offers seem to vary, and reactivating YouTube TV will impact any potential savings. With streaming prices climbing across the board, sports fans are feeling the pinch more than most. However, if you’re unsure about resubscribing to NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV this year because of the price, you might wa

Cyberpunk 2077's latest update brings VRR to consoles and introduces an autodrive mode

There's another big update for Cyberpunk 2077 coming our way. Update 2.3 brings some notable new features to PC and consoles. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is adding official in-game support for VRR on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This should help with screen tearing when the frame rate drops and is of particular use when running the game in performance mode. There's also an official AutoDrive feature, which is something that has long-existed in the modding community. This is available in all cars and moto

Zelda’s new live-action stars could be around for a long time

Nintendo just announced the two leads of its live-action Legend of Zelda film, and unlike the celebrity-packed Mario movie cast, Zelda will star two young, lesser-known actors: Bo Bragason as Zelda and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth as Link. You may not have heard of them, but there’s a good chance they’re going to be a part of the franchise for a while. Choosing stars who are in their teens (Ainsworth) and early 20s (Bragason) makes a lot of sense. In the games, even the “older” Links and Zeldas are
