[ad_1] We’re learning what America looks like with fewer immigrants and fewer jobs.The Trump administration has been cracking down on immigration over the past few months, ramping up deportations and travel bans. It recently announced a $100,000 fee for new H-1B visa program applicants, which could affect some major companies, like Amazon, that leverage the program.Immigration policies could be exacerbating the defining feature of the frozen 2025 labor market: Workers haven’t faced mass layoffs, but hiring has slowed to a crawl. A more slowly-growing labor force with lower levels of immigration will likely see a much lower level of job…

[ad_1] Researchers at consulting firm BetterUp Labs, in collaboration with Stanford Social Media Lab, have coined a new term to describe low-quality, AI-generated work: “workslop.” As defined in an article published this week in the Harvard Business Review, workslop is “AI generated work content that masquerades as good work, but lacks the substance to meaningfully advance a given task.” BetterUp Labs researchers suggest that workslop could be one explanation for the 95% of organizations that have tried AI but report seeing zero return on that investment. Workslop, they write, can be “unhelpful, incomplete, or missing crucial context,” which just creates…

[ad_1] If you’ve been on the New York City subway recently, you’ve probably seen stark white ads promoting a wearable AI device called Friend. CEO Avi Schiffman told Adweek that the company spent more than $1 million on a campaign with more than 11,000 cards on subway cars, 1,000 platform posters, and 130 urban panels. Some stations, like West 4th Street, are completely dominated by Friend ads. “This is the world’s first major AI campaign,” Schiffman said. (There have been other AI ads of questionable effectiveness, but perhaps not a print campaign of this scale.) He described it as “a…

[ad_1] From tech giants to startups, South Korean players are developing large language models tailored to their own language and culture, ready to compete with global heavyweights like OpenAI and Google.  Last month, the nation launched its most ambitious sovereign AI initiative to date, pledging ₩530 billion, (about $390 million), to five local companies building large-scale foundational models.   The move underscores Seoul’s desire to cut reliance on foreign AI technologies, hoping to strengthen national security and keep a tighter control over data in the AI era.   The organizations picked by the Ministry of Science and ICT to compete were LG…

[ad_1] Several publicly traded companies’ stocks are on the verge of forming a technical pattern that signals trouble ahead. A “death cross” is a pattern that appears on a chart as a stock’s short-term moving average, typically measured over 50 days, breaks below its long-term moving average, usually taken over 200 days. The technical indicator is widely viewed as a sign that an asset’s price will decline in the not-so-distant future. Industrial giant Honeywell is among the Wall Street players poised to form a death cross, joined by American Tower , Waste Management and Pinnacle West Capital . These potential…

[ad_1] Intel shares may be getting bit long in the tooth, at least in the near term. The chipmaker rallied around 21% this week after the Wall Street Journal reported Intel had reached out to Apple and Taiwan Semiconductor for a potential investment. The Journal also said the U.S. was planning a push for chipmakers to match domestic semiconductor output to the amount they import. That latest gain put Intel up nearly 80% year to date. The only problem? The stock is now even deeper into overbought territory. Intel’s relative strength index now sits at 80, up from 77 a…
