He says the idea centers on reproducing the full operations, from coding to management, of firms that do not manufacture physical products. “The Macrohard project, over time, actually, will probably be our most important project, because what we’re talking about is the emulation of entire human companies.

Elon Musk is addressing mounting questions inside xAI after a wave of high-profile departures. Speaking at the company’s all-hands meeting, Musk says the exits are a byproduct of growth, not instability, as the artificial intelligence startup restructures to operate at a larger scale. xAI Yuhuai “Tony” Wu left earlier this week.

Wellington-Altus chief market strategist James E.

El-Erian says his biggest macro concern is the widening gap between strong headline economic growth and a weakening labor market. “So my biggest worry on the macro is this decoupling of strong GDP from the labor market. This is really consequential in terms of economic, social and political implications.…
