My latest on San Francisco's economy for @CNN is about whether AI can rescue the city's struggling commercial real estate business. Office vacancy rates are at a 30-year high, but some AI firms are capitalizing on lower rents and moving back in: cnn.com/2023/07/10/bus…

OceanGate’s Titan sub was a “gray area” not subject to the same regulations as many traditional ships and submarines. The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had repeatedly claimed that existing regulations needlessly prioritize passenger safety over commercial innovation.
