  • Karen Hao Warns Against Empires of AI and Their Societal and Environmental Impact
    November 3, 2025, 1:34 AM EST. Journalist Karen Hao discussed her investigative reporting on AI and its social and environmental consequences, highlighting her New York Times bestseller Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman's OpenAI. Hao, who leads the Pulitzer Center's AI Spotlight Series, urged universities and the public to scrutinize the industry and avoid letting technology override core goals. She argued for open discussions and experimentation with AI in classrooms, and for curated task-specific models over broad, unchecked automation. Drawing on interviews with more than 250 people, including more than 90 current and former OpenAI staff, Hao noted concerns about the job market, citing a Stanford study showing a 13% employment decline in affected professions. She encouraged students to pursue areas that distinguish them from AI capabilities.
  • Ovzon Reports Sharp 9M Revenue Rise; EBITDA and EBIT Turn Positive as Backlog Surges; New Loan Frees Up Cash
    November 3, 2025, 1:32 AM EST. Ovzon, the Sweden-based satellite operator and terminal maker, says revenue for the first nine months ended Sept. 30 has doubled from a year earlier, with both EBITDA and EBIT moving into profit after losses in the prior year. The backlog climbed to SEK 1.02 billion (~$107.7 million), four times the year-ago level. Management attributed growth to its service offerings for military and public-service agencies, noting optimism after an Oct. 31 investor presentation. A new loan is reported to have freed up cash, supporting ongoing expansion and customer initiatives.
  • Europe EV Battery Housing Market to Reach US$5.7B by 2032, CAGR 10.5%
    November 3, 2025, 1:20 AM EST. Europe's EV Battery Housing market is on track to grow from US$4.0 billion in 2025 to US$5.7 billion by 2032, a 10.5% CAGR through 2025-2032, according to Persistence Market Research. The analysis blends historical data (2019-2024) with forward-looking insights on drivers, challenges, and regulatory shifts shaping the sector. Key catalysts include rising EV production, stricter emission norms, and a push for lightweight, crash-resistant materials such as aluminum and composites, enabling modular and scalable housing architectures. EU policies favor circular economy initiatives and recyclable materials, influencing design and material selection. Germany, the UK, and France are highlighted as growth hubs due to high EV penetration and policy support. The report covers competitive benchmarking, supply chain dynamics, and strategic collaborations between OEMs, battery makers, and material suppliers.
  • Jordan's DIY battery revival: self-taught mechanics repurpose spent Tesla packs for homes
    November 3, 2025, 1:16 AM EST. In Amman, a homeowner powers nearly all his electricity with a homemade energy storage system built from 20 reconditioned Tesla modules and rooftop solar. The project, a hobby for a self-taught engineer, slashes the family's electricity bill and illustrates how spent EV batteries can gain a second life. Jordan's growing fleet of EVs-about 150,000 this year-fuels a burgeoning trade where shops refurbish packs and sell them for home and mobile energy storage. With forecasts of up to 200,000 end-of-life batteries by 2035, the lack of formal recycling channels has spurred an informal sector. Initiatives like C-Hub aim to shape policies for sustainable battery management, while many mechanics learn to repair and recondition on their own due to training gaps.
