That puts Uber stock a few dollars above where it was in late March, shortly before word that Musk was accelerating his robotaxi plans sent Tesla shares into a slump.Resear

An overriding question for artificial intelligence developers is whether they can generate enough revenue to offset the high costs of compute and talent. But their own AI helpers can also cut costs.

It’s become well understood that the high-stakes political world more closely mirrors the satire “Veep” than the prestige-draped “The West Wing.” Behind the pomp, circumstance and power are humans who, like all of us, are prone to bumbling mistakes.
