The AI bubble isn’t new — Karl Marx explained the mechanisms behind it nearly 150 years ago

When OpenAI’s Sam Altman told reporters in San Francisco earlier this year that the AI sector is in a bubble, the American tech market reacted almost instantly.

All government shutdowns disrupt science − in 2025, the consequences extend far beyond a lapse in funding

U.S. science always suffers during government shutdowns. Funding lapses send government scientists home without pay. Federal agencies suspend new grant opportunities, place expert review panels on hold, and stop collecting and analyzing critical public datasets that tell us about the economy, the environment and public health. In 2025, the stakes are higher than in past shutdowns. This shutdown arrives at a time of massive upheaval to […] … learn more→

AI hype has just shaken up the world’s rich list. What if the boom is really a bubble?

Just for a moment this week, Larry Ellison, co-founder of US cloud computing company Oracle, became the world’s richest person.

Oracle inked a deal to provide artificial intelligence (AI) giant OpenAI […] … learn more→
