The warning signs the AI bubble is about to burst

news.ycombinator.com Matthew Field 2025-11-02 21:34:23

“When will the internet bubble burst?” the cover story of Barron’s asked on March 20 2000. “That unpleasant popping sound is likely to be heard before the end of this year.” In fact, that same day, one of the most high-profile tech businesses of the moment suffered a share price plunge of 60pc. A flood of other collapses followed, evaporating trillions of dollars. Now, some on Wall Street fear that “unpleasant popping sound” may be imminent for the artificial intelligence (AI) boom.

From the tech moguls and venture capitalists who are starting “microschools” and building ed-tech tools to policymakers who are writing bills to safeguard kids online and teachers who are getting creative about using AI for school.

95% of business applications of AI have failed. Here's why

MirageC/Moment via Getty Images Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways: Just 5% of enterprise customers are profiting from generative AI. A bottom-up versus top-down approach can improve implementation success. AI companies are making big promises in a bubble, most of which are unfulfilled. Investment in generative AI may be booming, but most individual businesses using it have yet to see the payoff. In fact, a new MIT study found that 95% of enterprise

Anduril, Blue Origin to study how to transport cargo from orbit to Earth for the Pentagon

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-11-04 11:11:37

Blue Origin and Anduril have landed new study contracts with the U.S. Air Force to explore how their technology, including rockets, could move military cargo around the world. The contracts under the Air Force’s Rocket Cargo program are relatively small — Blue Origin’s comes in at $1.37 million and Anduril’s at $1 million. But they could be the first steps in revolutionizing how the Pentagon transports cargo. Study contracts like these are also a strong signal as to which players will later c

Ecosia has offered to take ‘stewardship’ of Chrome. And it’s not a bad idea.

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-04 15:02:47

“It’s not absurd, right?” Christian Kroll, CEO of Berlin-based nonprofit search engine Ecosia, says of his company’s unsolicited request to be granted a 10-year “stewardship” of Google’s Chrome browser, instead of forcing Google to sell it to a competitor. His idea is most definitely absurd, but also clever. On Thursday, Ecosia announced it had sent a proposal regarding Chrome to Google and to U.S. Judge Amit Mehta.

Top Indian startups in the real-money gaming space have begun shutting down operations after New Delhi effectively banned the sector through new legislation that’s now on the verge of becoming law. On Thursday, the upper house of the Indian parliament passed the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill, 2025 — proposing to completely ban real-money gaming while aiming to promote casual online games and e-sports.

Wall Street Appears to Be Having Serious Doubts About AI

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-05 21:01:42

The amount of cash backing artificial intelligence right now is so high that it's almost meaningless to the average person. There are now almost 500 AI unicorns — companies valued at over $1 billion — worth a total of roughly $2.7 trillion, enough to do some serious damage to the economy if things don't go well. But for investors, that cash represents a dream: that AI will someday do more than generate video essays explaining that Nubian giants built the pyramids, and become a major financial

A customer has sued Home Depot, claiming the retail giant has been secretly using facial recognition technology on customers with cameras placed at self-checkout kiosks. Earlier this month, Benjamin Jankowski, a frequent Home Depot shopper, filed a proposed class action lawsuit against the company.

“I P 6 8! I P 6 8!,” shouted late-night host Jimmy Fallon, trying and failing to fake excitement about the new Pixel smartphones. Fallon, who likely had never heard the technical term before, didn’t seem to realize that IP68 — a rating that indicates phones can survive being submerged in water — isn’t all that interesting as a selling point, nor is this water-resistance feature new to Google’s Pixel line.
