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.

AI godmother Dr. Fei-Fei Li says machines have already begun outperforming people in specific cognitive tasks, even as industry leaders downplay the importance of achieving full human-level intelligence. In a panel conversation at the FT Future of AI Summit in London, AI pioneer Li says it is scientifically incorrect to treat human-level AI as a single finish line. Instead, she says machine intelligence already exceeds human capability in certain domains, while remaining fundamentally different from human cognition. “Parts of machines will supersede human intelligence, and part of the machine intelligence will never be the same as human intelligence. They are…
A high-profile market clash is emerging in the AI trade, as “Big Short” duo Michael Burry and Steve Eisman take opposing stances on Palantir (PLTR). Last week, reports surfaced that contrarian investor Michael Burry placed $912.1 million in put options on PLTR in Q3 of 2025, suggesting he expected the stock to collapse.

A prominent tech investor and venture capitalist says the American taxpayer would win big if the federal government manages to make a deal with Sam Altman’s OpenAI. In a new episode of the All-In Podcast, billionaire Chamath Palihapitiya says recent government deals indicate that the Trump administration is building a sovereign wealth fund for Americans. “If I was the US government, to the extent that we are doing public-private partnerships, if there is a way for us taxpayers to own a piece of OpenAI, I would say great… So before everybody breathlessly complains, whether you see it or not, there is…
