tante"AI in the enterprise is failing faster than last year
[...]
in 2025, 46% of the surveyed companies have thrown out their AI proofs-of-concept and 42% have abandoned most of their AI initiatives — complete failure. The abandonment rate in 2024 was 17%."
(Original title: AI in the enterprise is failing over twice as fast in 2025 as it was in 2024)
Chris OldwoodThought I’d spend the morning getting a feel for what it’s like working with an AI generated codebase.

At any rate: were people "foolish for voting for tariffs"? It depends on what you think they were actually voting for. My guess is that the number of people who voted for Trump because they thought tariffs were a good idea for any reason except culture war ones is approximately zero.
If people voted for Trump because of economics, it comes down to them hating the neoliberal system, which has systematically deprived them of wages as a share of productivity, over many decades.

Luigi MuffingioneI"ve been reading bit by bit a book about Jewish women resistance fighters in occupied Poland during the WWII holocaust and cannot emphasize enough that the people described pretty much in every single way just regular people just like us, and their thought processes (that we know of from journals and oral histories) are more or less just those of most rebel groups today, just in a desperately amplified context
"oh goddammit, the council sold us out again" "they're saying we should just go peacefully and maybe it won't be so bad that way" "fuck that, i know we only have three pistols, let's fight anyway. maybe at least history will remember some of us chose not to be complicit" "ok, how many people do we have left still in on the plan? seven of us? ok, i guess that'll have to do"
and then, reading this becomes even more of a trip when you realize that people in palestine and lebanon are acting out the same thing *right now* and in a few decades perhaps i'll be reading the same book about them

It's 9/11 so my mind turns to the one piece of lasting, good art that came out of that day
