The fear of AI disruption in software is not just rocking equity markets, it's also hitting software firm's debt and pushing their bonds and loans into distressed territory.

NVIDIA NASDAQ: NVDA CEO Jensen Huang used a late-evening conversation with a partner to outline how he believes artificial intelligence is reshaping the computing industry and why enterprises should move quickly to adopt it, even if near-term return on investment is difficult to quantify. Get NVIDIA alerts: Sign Up Reinventing the computing stack Huang said the industry is “reinventing computing for the first time in 60 years,” describing a shift from explicit programming—where developers write code and define variables—to “implicit programming,” where users state intent and the system determines how to achieve it. He argued that the change extends well beyond processors to the broader computing stack, including storage, networking, and security. In that context, Huang referenced an ongoing partnership aimed at combining NVIDIA’s AI networking technology with Cisco’s Nexus control plane to deliver AI performance with Cisco’s “controllability, and security, and the manageability.” He added that the companies intend to take a similar approach to security. Huang also said enterprise AI adoption lagged in part because early systems were more “interesting and curious” than truly useful. He described the next phase as “agentic AI,” where systems can use tools, perform research, incorporate memory, and rely on retrieval-augmented generation to ground responses in facts. Advice for enterprises: experiment first, curate later Asked what steps enterprises should take to get ready, Huang said he would avoid focusing too early on spreadsheet-style ROI calculations, arguing it is often hard to quantify the value of new technology at the beginning. Instead, he recommended identifying a company’s most impactful work and applying AI there, rather than starting with “peripheral stuff.” He repeatedly emphasized the need to encourage broad experimentation, describing his own organization as having “a thousand flowers bloom” across many projects. Huang said innovation is not always con...
Watches of Switzerland Group Plc upgraded its outlook for this year as demand for high-end timepieces rebounds following a difficult 2025 in which sales were hit by President Donald Trump ’s tariffs.

Watches of Switzerland Group Plc upgraded its outlook for this year as demand for high-end timepieces rebounds following a difficult 2025 in which sales were hit by President Donald Trump ’s tariffs. The largest authorized seller of Rolex timepieces in the UK expects sales growth in constant currency at 9% to 11%, versus 6% to 10% previously, according to a statement. Sales grew in the fiscal third quarter, which included the holiday season, with robust demand in the US even as tariffs on Switzerland weighed on the industry. Demand for key luxury watch brands is outstripping supply in the UK and the US, the company said. It expects profitability to improve in the second half of the year, compared with the first half. Watches of Switzerland also expects a boost from its acquisition of a majority stake in Deutsch & Deutsch, a US family-owned luxury watch and jewelry retailer in Texas, earlier this year. Following the deal, Watches of Switzerland operates 25 Rolex-anchored showrooms in the US. Watches of Switzerland’s growing presence in the US now accounts for almost 60% of the company’s profitability. The results came alongside industry figures showing that Swiss watch exports returned to growth for the first time in four months in December as brands rushed to send inventory to the US after it eased tariffs on Switzerland. Shares of the watch retailer were little changed early Wednesday in London. They’re down more than 8% over the past year but have recouped some losses in recent months, bringing them back to levels last seen in April 2025.

Foreign tourists mistaking a funeral for an open air food court were given a taste of Thai hospitality when the hosts served them a meal anyway. In two posts uploaded on social media, Charantorn Chaloemkiad, an ethnic Chinese Thai who was at his family’s funeral, shared how the tourists innocently gatecrashed the funeral in the city of Nakhon Si Thammarat over the weekend thinking that it was part of a buffet. According to Charantorn, long tables had been set up to serve funeral goers. In Thailand , it is customary to provide food and refreshments at a funeral to thank guests for paying their respects and make merit on behalf of the deceased. Advertisement However, as the event was held near a night market, tourists kept turning up looking for food. “It was evening and we were receiving guests. Then, two foreigners came in. I looked over and saw them. When they sat down, I asked if they thought this was a food court. They said yes. They said they came from the market nearby, which is next to a restaurant owned by the younger brother of the deceased. They thought it was that restaurant,” Charantorn told Thairath newspaper on Tuesday. Advertisement “When we told them it wasn’t a restaurant or food court, they were shocked. They apologised and asked if they could stay. We said yes. The deceased’s sister brought them drinks like iced tea, iced milk and fried dough sticks. They ate for a while and then left.” It happened again the next day.

The broad-brush, emotive telling of the questions around the neonatal nurse’s conviction uses arrest footage that her parents have said ‘would likely kill us’ if they watched. Did her mother’s howl of distress need to be broadcast? The Investigation of Lucy Letby is at least the fifth documentary that has been produced in the wake of the neonatal nurse’s convictions in 2023 and 2024 on seven counts of murder and seven of attempted murder of babies in her care at the Countess of Chester hospital. Probably the best of them was ITV’s Lucy Letby: Beyond Reasonable Doubt? last summer. It did a fine job of meticulously explaining the evidence against her – and why a growing body of experts believe that at the very least her conviction on the basis of what was gathered is unsafe, and at most that none of the babies were murdered by her, but were victims of a chronically understaffed and mismanaged unit that might have sought to scapegoat an individual for its failings. The Investigation of Lucy Letby does not compare in its attention to detail, preferring a broader-brush, more emotive telling of the story of either one of the most prolific female serial killers in history or one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in recent times. Its publicity has made much of the fact that it contains hitherto unseen footage of Letby’s arrest at her parents’ home. Her mother and father say they were unaware that it would be shown until Lucy’s barrister told them. “We will not watch it – it would likely kill us if we did.” When the footage is shown, you can hear her mother howl in distress as the police take Lucy away. It is an almost inhuman sound. It is hard to say what value such an inclusion adds except to warn the viewer to brace themselves for sensationalism along the way as the case is pieced together using accounts from the police, people – from both sides – directly involved with the case, Letby’s best friend Maisie and Letby’s current lawyer (not the one who represented her ...
