ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”
That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

What are the benefits to robotaxis? Don't say that theoretically, down the road, they might be safer and more efficient than regular EV taxis.

Looking to publish a story correlating automaker investments in new technology and earnings/share price. For example-- X automaker made public investments in Y technology, it had this impact on shares and this impact on earnings (if any.) If anyone knows a finance journalist who'd write it LMK

We are about to get our asses walloped in the most predictable, preventable economic realignment in a century.
When I say the US has bet its post-pandemic economy on AI while China has bet its on green energy, this is what I mean: Here, AI related companies account for 75% of S&P 500 returns since ChatGPT's launch. In China, green tech accounts for one quarter of GDP growth.

In one case from Utah, a mother reports her son was experiencing a delusional breakdown and ChatGPT told him to stop taking his medication. The AI bot also told him that his parents were dangerous.
