Durante anos, as empresas de IA prometeram que seu produto se tornaria um serviço público democratizado e produtivo. Mas, à medida que o setor se volta para clientes corporativos e os custos financeiros e ambientais aumentam, a questão central é se os ganhos desiguais justificam o preço.

Twenty cities and municipalities are suing private equity firms whom they allege have cornered the market in fire truck manufacturing, creating artificial scarcity and degrading the quality of emergency services.
In business, executives often spend months modeling synergies, forecasting EBITDA improvements, and calculating cost savings. Yet the factor most likely to determine whether a merger, acquisition, or integration succeeds rarely appears in a spreadsheet: culture. The homebuilding industry offers a useful example. A structured, process-driven builder such as Beazer Homes and a more entrepreneurial…
Colombia proved that a nation could ban energy shipments to Israel’s war machine. Fossil capital is trying to ensure that no other state dares to do the same.
In the 19th century, capitalist markets combined with environmental disaster to cause famines across the Global South. We might experience a similar tragedy again soon.

There are statutes enacted by Congress; implementing regulations issued by the Treasury Department; rules from the Internal Revenue Service explaining how other rules apply to specific circumstances; and a patchwork of court decisions that may or may not supersede everything else,…
The US Postal Service promises to deliver mail to rural areas where private carriers won’t extend service because it isn’t profitable. Now Amazon is taking advantage of that publicly built infrastructure for its own gain — at rural mail carriers’ expense.

Rejecting surveillance capitalism means insisting, clearly and unapologetically, that markets should serve the people — not the other way around, writes NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection Commissioner Sam Levine.
The affordability crisis in American housing demands more invention, more experimentation and more scalable models to break through the chronic chokeholds of economic, building-technology, and political will. The hard truth is that, against a backdrop of a harsher-than-expected new-home sales season and a higher-for-longer interest-rate environment, the operating environment is making it harder…
As composições de Kim Gordon com o Sonic Youth buscavam criar um espaço de subversão entre arte e política. Seus álbuns solo se distanciam desse projeto: não por resignação, mas pela dificuldade de criar tal espaço na hiperpolítica atual.

A year ago, when Lennar completed the spin-off of Millrose Properties into a standalone, publicly traded REIT, the sheer size, root motivation and the complex nature of the pivot ushered in an era of land-banking unlike any before. Global capital asset managers followed suit. Land-banking and asset-light or land-light business and balance sheet management began […]
