Today on the show, we’re going to unpack this and examine what a deal with Iran…
Good morning. Claire Zillman writing from London this morning. CEOs have offered many different reasons for calling workers back into the office—despite research that suggests working from home can be as effective, if not more effective, than in-office work. Amazon’s Andy Jassy says in-person collaboration is “simpler and more effective.” Jamie Dimon calls Zoom-heavy work “management by Hollywood Squares.” Instagram’s Adam Mosseri says five days in-office breeds creativity. Larry Fink even floated the idea that getting bodies back in chairs could help beat inflation. These are the arguments CEOs have made publicly. But a new study suggests there’s a less…
In This Article AI-powered layoffs are shaking up the once-bulletproof tech job market, with more than 100,000 layoffs so far this year alone. For real estate investors, the burning question is where all the high-net-worth talent is going—assuming they are leaving established hubs such as Silicon Valley and Seattle—and whether following them makes financial sense. “A New Way of Working” Your plumber, electrician, and roofer may have the safest jobs in town. Artificial intelligence is devouring computer-based jobs like whales over plankton, and ironically, employment in tech is one of the first to go. According to a recent report by…
New single-family home sales fell 7.3 percent in May, but the bigger story is the shrinking share of affordable new homes. New single-family home sales dropped 7.3 percent in May from April and fell 6.8 percent from a year ago, according to the latest data from the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Median sales prices held at $424,900 — flat year over year, up 2 percent from the prior month, according to the new data released on Wednesday — but that top-line stability is misleading. TAKE THE INMAN INTEL INDEX SURVEY A year ago, roughly…
On Monday, the Department of Defense told senators it needed an additional $80 billion to cover the cost of the U.S. war against Iran, just weeks after warning that the military could potentially run out of money should Congress not pass a new spending bill, Fortune’s Jacqueline Munis reports. But what is the total bill so far? Experts differ. On May 12, Acting Pentagon Comptroller Jules Hurst III told the House Armed Services Committee that the war had cost $29 billion. Despite the six weeks that have passed, the Pentagon referred Fortune back to Hurst’s testimony when asked for an…

For most of the generative AI era, enterprises judged AI by what it could do. Could the model summarize a contract, answer a customer, support an analyst or a clinician? That test still holds. It is no longer enough. A harder phase is underway. Organizations are deploying agents that retrieve sensitive data, call tools and APIs, update records and act inside live business systems. The job has changed from producing content to performing tasks. That changes the evidence enterprises need before they can trust these systems. When a chatbot returns a wrong answer, someone usually catches it and fixes it.…
In This Article This article is presented in partnership with Connect Invest. You finally found a deal. Then it died at inspection. Or the seller got cold feet.
