Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies

futurism.com Unknown 2025-10-11 12:09:38

Artificial intelligence might be booming on paper, but in the real world, there are signs of a major slowdown. In their latest biweekly survey of AI adoption, the US Census Bureau found evidence of an obvious drop-off in corporate AI use — the largest since the survey began in November of 2023. The survey, which compiles data from over 1.2 million firms throughout the US, shows usage of AI tools among companies with over 250 employees dropping from nearly 14 percent in mid-June to under 12 per

Trump’s Policies Are Shutting Out Americans From the Coolest New Gadgets

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-11 13:10:46

Tech companies big and small now struggle to tantalize you with tech without telling you how much it will cost, or—hell—whether you can even buy it. The still-ongoing IFA 2025 tech conference in Berlin proved how merely shipping tech to the U.S. is more tenuous than at any time in the last few decades. From what I saw and heard both on the floor and off, it became clear that the era of plentiful, affordable, and cool shit will melt away in favor of an epoch of dull and ever-more expensive tech.

Space DOTS raises $1.5M seed round to provide insights on orbital threats

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2025-10-11 17:00:00

The corporate space world tired Bianca Cefalo to the point that she found it easier to literally start her own space company and launch objects into orbit. Cefalo is the founder of Space DOTs, which launched in 2022 to detect space threats. She and her team have created a software platform called SKY-I for space tech manufacturers and operators to help them detect, interpret, and attribute natural and human-originated threats in orbit.

Salesloft says Drift customer data thefts linked to March GitHub account hack

Salesloft said a breach of its GitHub account in March allowed hackers to steal authentication tokens that were later used in a mass-hack targeting several of its big tech customers. Citing an investigation by Google’s incident response unit Mandiant, Salesloft said on its data breach page that the as-yet-unnamed hackers accessed Salesloft’s GitHub account and performed reconnaissance activities from March until June, which allowed them to download “content from multiple repositories, add a gue

Our data shows San Francisco tech workers are working Saturdays

September 8, 2025 Have you heard of 996? It’s the demanding work schedule that calls for working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week. Apparently, it’s the new thing in the San Francisco tech scene, and it’s all anyone can talk about (search Twitter). So far, this has been a story based on vibes, not data. But I looked at Ramp transaction data and found 996 is real. San Francisco-based employees are increasingly working on Saturdays, and it’s already showing up in spend trends. The chart above

Y Combinator-backed Motion raises fresh $38M to build the Microsoft Office of AI agents

By the time Harry Qi was 23 years old, he had achieved the kind of financial success that most people will never attain: making about $1 million a year. He was working as “a quant” in his first job out of college. That’s hedge-fund speak for a stock-trading analyst at a statistical-model driven “quant” fund. But, like many people who spend their energies pursuing ever more money, he felt empty. “At some point you just want to make a much bigger impact on this world,” Qi, now 29, tells TechCrun

From the Codex Skylitzes Matritensis (12th century) A common trope in the land of fantasy fiction and games is that of lost technology.

CEO Who Created AI Startup to Cheat on Homework Complains That AI Is Destroying Education

Months after debuting Cluely, the "undetectable AI that thinks for you," 21-year-old tech entrepreneur Chungin "Roy" Lee is decrying the dismal state of education due to AI. Indeed, there's little doubt that AI has completely flipped education on its head. The availability of large language models (LLMs) at the press of a finger is all but obliterating the minds of an entire generation of students, making literacy a thing of the past as big tech money floods into schools and teachers unions.

If you were trying to learn how to get other people to do what you want, you might use some of the techniques found in a book like Influence: The Power of Persuasion. Now, a preprint study out of the University of Pennsylvania suggests that those same psychological persuasion techniques can frequently "convince" some LLMs to do things that go against their system prompts.

EU fines Google $3.5B over adtech ‘abuse’

The European Commission announced this week that it’s fining Google €2.95 billion (just under $3.5 billion). The commission found that Google had violated European Union antitrust rules by favoring its own advertising services.
