AI Is Flattening Software Companies. The Danger Is Cutting the Wrong People.. AI-Generated.
Note: This story was written with AI assistance and edited by me. Two software companies tied job cuts to AI in the first week of November 2026. On November 2, The Register reported that SUSE, the open source software company owned by EQT, told its roughly 1,900 employees it would reduce its global workforce by about 10 percent. CEO Dirk-Peter van Leeuwen wrote that "automation and AI are fundamentally shifting how software companies operate" and that modern tooling is "enabling teams to move faster with less operational overhead and flatter reporting lines." On November 4, NICE CEO Scott Russell explained on the company's third quarter earnings call that its cut of about 500 jobs, roughly 5 percent of about 10,000 employees, includes research and development, where "our teams are leveraging AI tools to increase productivity materially." He said NICE is also "removing layers of management and span of control." NICE expects $15 million to $20 million in restructuring charges, and its third quarter revenue rose 8 percent to $791 million.

When A Prompt Finds Something Already There.
An autumn writing challenge was always likely to get my attention. It is my favourite season. I could hardly spend so much time admiring it and then decline an invitation to give it a poem. That would feel a little ungrateful.

When a Customer Describes a Problem Instead of Naming a Service. AI-Generated.
“People keep calling us to ask what happens after they send the form.” A business owner brings that problem to a web agency. Its service menu offers “UX audit”, “conversion optimisation” and “landing page design”. The owner understands the problem, but cannot tell which option to choose.

How Better Property Management Reduces Ownership Expenses
It's possible to obtain long-term financial worth from a property, however, only when the property is looked after regularly. A little leak in the plumbing line or an ignored air conditioning system might seem insignificant at first. But these little problems can cost us a lot if they are not fixed. Good property management can enable owners to manage costs by spotting and fixing issues at an early stage and create a maintenance priority list. Rather than taking action in response to crises, owners can take a proactive step to safeguard their investment and save money that isn't needed.

Happy Holidays, Here’s a 35.99% Loan
My benefits email offer I got an email this week through ADP, the same portal where I check my pay stubs and my withholding. The image, a Christmas themed picture, in the email was a stock-photo of a mother and her little girl in felt reindeer antlers, laughing in front of a glowing tree, wrapped presents piled around them. In the picture, in white letters, a logo. Below the picture, a headline: $15k Loans For Employees. Then the information text:

From Creative Ideas to Finished Edits: The Evolution of AI Video Production
A successful video rarely comes together in one editing session. Behind a polished commercial, tutorial, or social media campaign are hours of planning, footage review, scene selection and revisions. For years, these responsibilities depended heavily on manual effort. Artificial intelligence is now changing how creators approach this work. With a ChatGPT AI video maker and connected editing tools such as CapCut × Codex, creators can move from production instructions to an editable video draft through a more streamlined process. The real opportunity is not eliminating creative involvement. It is reducing repetitive work while giving editors more time to focus on storytelling, presentation and quality.

How ChatGPT and AI Tools Are Transforming Video Production
A video editor's most valuable resource is not another transition or visual effect. It is time to make better creative decisions. Yet much of video production still involves repetitive work: reviewing recordings, finding usable shots, organizing media, preparing rough cuts and adjusting content for different platforms. AI is beginning to change how these tasks are handled. Creators exploring ways to generate videos with ChatGPT can now connect conversational instructions with practical editing workflows through CapCut × Codex. The bigger development is not simply automated editing. It is a shift toward production systems where creative direction and intelligent assistance work together.

How AI Is Transforming Video Editing and Content Creation Workflows
Video production has changed considerably over the past few years. Creators once spent hours reviewing footage, arranging clips, adjusting timelines and preparing different versions of the same project. Today, artificial intelligence can assist with several of these tasks. However, the real improvement is not simply faster editing. It is the ability to connect planning, footage selection, editing and content adaptation into a more efficient production process. Tools supporting CapCut × Codex video creation demonstrate how natural-language instructions can help turn existing footage into an editable first cut. For creators and production teams, this introduces a more flexible way to approach everyday video work.
