Lawmakers are moving to shine a spotlight on AI layoffs, proposing a federal reporting regime that would capture both the firing and hiring tied to automation. Senators Josh Hawley and Mark Warner introduced the AI-Related Job Impacts Clarity Act, a bill that would require companies to disclose quarterly how AI is affecting their headcount and hiring decisions, with the Labor Department publishing the results online and reporting trends to Congress.

Hackers are moving beyond using AI for efficiency and are now deploying malware that can rewrite itself mid-attack, according to new threat research from Google. In a fresh update on adversarial AI activity, Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) says hackers are breaking new ground, as they embed large language models (LLMs) inside malware to alter behavior and evade defenses in real time. “Adversaries are no longer leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) just for productivity gains, they are deploying novel AI-enabled malware in active operations. This marks a new operational phase of AI abuse, involving tools that dynamically alter behavior mid-execution.” The…
A prominent venture capitalist says the United States is increasingly leaning on artificial intelligence as the centerpiece of its economic hopes, warning that the surge in expectations around AI could create a too-big-to-fail dynamic with major social risks. In a CNBC interview, Slow Ventures general partner Sam Lessin says the US government’s urgent need to accelerate economic output is helping shape the AI boom narrative as a national growth project, blending speculation, industrial policy and investor optimism into a shared storyline. “I think what’s going on in AI is quite interesting, and there is a lot that can be real…
Tech magnate Elon Musk believes that Microsoft’s continued support for OpenAI goes against the long-term interests of the Copilot creator.

Michael Burry is pushing back against Palantir (PLTR) chief Alex Karp, escalating a public clash after the software CEO suggested that the “Big Short” investor attempted to manipulate markets. Last week, reports emerged that Burry’s Scion Asset Management had placed $912.1 million worth of put options on PLTR, representing five million shares. Burry’s put options appear to be a speculative bet that PLTR will collapse. Following the news, Karp alleged that Burry was engaging in market manipulation tactics to get out of a much larger short position. In a new post on X, Burry responds, saying Palantir’s intelligence ambitions fall…

IBM’s chief executive says Wall Street’s anxiety over an AI bubble may be missing the broader structural shift underway. In a CNBC interview, IBM chief executive Arvind Krishna pushes back against AI bubble talks, noting that enterprise adoption patterns show durable demand. While Krishna rejects bubble talk, he notes that the AI buildout is likely on the path of sucking in more investments than it should. “I think that they are overblown. It’s not quite a bubble. Could there be overinvestment? Always when there is a new technology, you’re going to get a bit of overinvestment. Many will thrive but…
A sharp reset in crypto leverage may be setting the stage for a longer bull market, according to new research from Coinbase. In its latest institutional monthly report, Coinbase says the recent washout wiped out speculative positioning, clearing the runway for fresh rallies in the coming months. “Following the massive liquidation event on October 10, we believe crypto markets have found a near-term bottom and that positioning is now significantly cleaner. Markets appear to have reset rather than broken. In our view, the sell-off has restored the system to structurally healthier leverage levels.” Coinbase highlights that the crypto meltdown last…
A top Wells Fargo strategist says the biggest drivers of the AI boom now represent the most meaningful risk to the market, as spending pressures build for Big Tech platforms. In a new CNBC interview, Wells Fargo’s Ohsung Kwon says the largest tech firms may be overstretching their financial capacity as they push to come out ahead of the AI race. Kwon marks hyperscalers as the only bear case that could derail his bullish outlook for the market. “I think it’s really the hyperscalers. That’s a little concerning because I think this AI CapEx cycle is still in the early…
