Billionaire investor Mark Cuban warns that China is deploying an AI policy that can dangerously shape how the American public thinks. In a new post on X, Cuba notes that fears over TikTok will pale in comparison to what could happen if China wins the race by building the most widely adopted AI systems. He says the real danger isn’t just technological supremacy, but the influence that could come with Chinese-built models becoming the foundation for developers, applications and everyday digital behavior in the United States. “If you thought TikTok was a manipulative [platform], you ain’t seen nothing like a…

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says he’s had enough of critics questioning the sustainability of the AI giant’s $13 billion revenue against its $1.4 trillion spending commitments. In a new interview with Brad Gerstner on the Bg2 Pod, OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman defends the company’s aggressive spending posture and future growth path, arguing that the market continues to underestimate the scale of value creation ahead.

Second of all, Brad,…
Morgan Stanley says Apple’s (AAPL) AI transition is entering a lucrative phase, with the company positioned to generate high-return revenue streams. In a new CNBC interview, Erik Woodring, managing director and equity research analyst at Morgan Stanley, says Apple’s AI strategy blends internal development with external partnerships, a structure he believes could unlock significant upside as new product cycles arrive.

Goldman Sachs says the world is still in the early stages of an AI-driven economic boom, highlighting that productivity gains and capital spending could scale far beyond what investors currently expect. In a new interview on CNBC, Joseph Briggs, senior global economist at Goldman Sachs, says people who spew the narrative that the AI buildout has already reached unsustainable levels are missing the big picture. “There’s this common narrative that we hear that we’re spending hundreds of billions of dollars in CapEx and that this spending is unprecedented. And that’s certainly true if you look at things in nominal dollar…
An AI-powered scam is ripping through American households, using cloned voices and urgent pleas for help to extract thousands of dollars from unsuspecting families. In Alabama, an elderly couple was targeted by criminals who mimicked their great-grandson’s voice and staged a fake emergency arrest call, reports local outlet WBRC. The call began with panic, injury and limited time, a classic pressure setup designed to override logic and trigger fast action from loved ones. Alice Boren says she picked up a call from someone pretending to be their great-grandson. “He said, ‘Mawmaw, I’m in a lot of pain. I have a…
Billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates says the artificial intelligence boom may carry sharper labor consequences than many expect. In a new appearance on CNBC’s Squawk Box, Gates says the adoption of AI for enterprise use is accelerating, noting that policy and public discussion must keep up with the technology curve. Gates suggests that while displacement has not yet appeared in broad workforce data, the shift is already underway beneath the surface and will accelerate as models scale and automation spreads across industries. “Although it hasn’t been seen in large numbers. Over the next several years, there will be some impact…
A top Wall Street strategist says the S&P 500 may be running on far more powerful fuel than the consensus believes, and the setup could carry stocks into uncharted territory before year-end. In a new CNBC interview, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee says investors are misreading market sentiment and underestimating the current earnings and macro setup. According to Lee, the American Association of Individual Investors (AAII) survey shows that investor sentiment is at a level that resembles bear markets of the past. “Well, maybe some of the bears have gone to hiding… If you take AAII, which I think is one of…
Tesla and xAI founder Elon Musk says the smartphone era is nearing an end, predicting that artificial intelligence will fundamentally replace the device in the coming years. In a new episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Musk says that in the future, phones will be replaced with a device with a screen and audio capabilities. Musk notes that the device will act only as a portal to AI systems that generate content, anticipate user needs and run without operating systems or apps. “I can tell you where I think things are going to go, which is that we’re not…
A prominent analyst says Meta’s recent slide is a buying opportunity, arguing the social media giant is entering a fresh investment cycle that will pay off as artificial intelligence demand scales across platforms and advertisers. On Thursday, META plunged to as low as $650 before ending the trading day at $666 to record an 11% drop. In a Bloomberg Technology interview, Jefferies equity research analyst Brent Thill says he sees the abrupt sell-off as investors rotating to stronger names rather than a fundamental concern in Meta. “And so I think there’s a common pattern with tech investors right now. They’re…
