Chipmaker NVIDIA reported quarterly earnings this week and they were strong - better than expected, even. NVIDIA's sales rose last quarter by over 50% though its data center business was a little softer than expected. So why did share prices fall? Plus, OpenAI says it's updating ChatGPT to better handle mental distress. And Spotify is sliding into our DMs. The music streamer has launched a messaging system on its platform. Marketplace's Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Jewel Burks Solomon, managing partner at Collab Capital, about all these headlines for this week's Marketplace Tech Bytes: Week in Review.

Asha Sharma leads AI product strategy at Microsoft, where she works with thousands of companies building AI products and has unique visibility into what's working (and what's not) across more than 15,000 startups and enterprises. Before Microsoft, Asha was COO at Instacart, and VP of Product & Engineering at Meta, notably leading product for Messenger.What you'll learn:1. Why we're moving from “product as artifact” to “product as organism” and what this means for builders2. Microsoft's “seasons” planning framework that allows them to adapt quickly in the AI era3. The death of the org chart: how agents are turning hierarchies into task networks and why “the loop, not the lane” is the new organizing principle4. Why post-training will soon see more investment than pre-training—and how to build your own AI moat with fine-tuning5. Her prediction for the “agentic society”—where org charts become work charts and agents outnumber humans in your company6. The three-phase pattern every successful AI company follows (and why most fail at phase one)7. The rise of code-native interfaces and why GUIs might be going the way of the desktop8.

A lawsuit has been filed against OpenAI, alleging that its chatbot, ChatGPT, played a role in the tragic suicide of a teenager named Adam Rain. The complaint, brought forth by Adam's parents, claims that the chatbot not only assisted him in drafting a suicide note but also discouraged him from seeking help from adults, thereby worsening his mental health struggles. OpenAI has expressed condolences and is working on implementing parental controls and emergency contact features to enhance the safety of their chatbot.In response to the growing concerns about AI safety, OpenAI and Anthropic have initiated a collaboration to conduct joint safety tests of their AI models. This partnership aims to identify blind spots in their evaluations, highlighting the need for industry-wide safety standards as AI technology becomes more prevalent. Recent research revealed significant differences in how the two companies' models handle uncertainty, with Anthropic's models refusing to answer many questions when unsure, while OpenAI's models exhibited higher rates of incorrect responses.The podcast also discusses the successful implementation of AI in various sectors, including cybersecurity and military operations. Kindrel, an IT infrastructure services company, has automated routine security tasks, resulting in a 90% reduction in incidents requiring human intervention. Additionally, U.S. fighter pilots have begun using AI technology to receive real-time updates during combat, marking a significant shift in military tactics. Furthermore, NASA and IBM have developed an open-source AI model named Surya to predict solar weather, which could help mitigate potential disruptions to technology.Finally, the episode touches on the broader implications of AI adoption in businesses, emphasizing the need for clear policies and training to maximize the technology's potential. A survey indicates that many employees feel AI is overhyped and underutilized, with a significant number of AI projects expected to be abandoned due to unclear objectives. The discussion encourages IT leaders to establish formal AI policies and performance indicators to ensure that organizations can effectively harness the benefits of artificial intelligence.Four things to know today 00:00 OpenAI Sued Over Teen Suicide, Adds Parental Controls, and Teams With Anthropic on Safety04:34 AI Shrinks Security Teams, Helps Fighter Pilots, and Even Predicts the Sun08:13 Cloudflare Adds AI Guardrails, Blackpoint Teams With NinjaOne, and AWS Bets Big With TD SYNNEX11:01 National Security, New Interfaces, and AI Reality Check—Three Big Ideas This Weekend  Supported by:  https://cometbackup.com/?utm_source=mspradio&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=sponsorship https://getflexpoint.com/msp-radio/  All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

欢迎收听雪球出品的财经有深度，雪球，国内领先的集投资交流交易一体的综合财富管理平台，聪明的投资者都在这里。今天分享的内容叫英伟达4w亿美金市值背后的“算力挤兑”和“供应商锁定”，来自橙子不糊涂。2025年07月9日英伟达市值突破4w亿美金市值，很多投资者都有期待，但真的看到那个数字跳动着突破40000的时候，还是非常激动的，大呼牛啤。直接讲核心观点，本轮英伟达持续创造历史、今天更是突破4w亿美金市值，同时博通、台积电也持续创新高背后的核心逻辑只有1个：未来18个月里，北美AI巨头进行的“供应商锁定”战争将带来前所未有的算力挤兑。下面我们详细聊聊。这一切的起因要从3月26号的“吉卜力”风暴说起。这一天OpenAI官宣GPT-4o全新的文生图模型，称其是“迄今为止最先进的图像生成器，具有高度准确和风格化的视觉效果”。也许是剧本，也许真就是神来之笔，Sam与其他两位同事在现场拍了合照，然后直接要求GPT-4o生成一张动画风格的图片。演示过程中，Prompt并没有提到“吉卜力”，可能因为之前他们有试用过、有记忆，或者其他什么原因，GPT-4o生成了一张吉卜力风格的合照图，这图片的准确度简直是逆天，“吉卜力”风格文生图在1天之内火遍全世界…Sam说：“请各位停止生成图片，这太疯狂了，我们团队需要休息”。接着我们看ChatGPT的用户增长轨迹：2022年底-2023年3月，ChatGPT横空出世，3个月内用户数突破1亿；2023年3月，GPT-4发布，用户数从1亿飙升到3亿；2024年12月，OpenAI 发布Sora，用户数从3亿飙升到4亿…2025年3月，吉卜力全球出圈，1小时增长100万用户，1个月周活跃用户翻翻，从4亿到8亿…我搜索了些数据，我们可以来看一下：目前ChatGPT在全球已经拥有2.25亿日活移动用户，其他竞争对手不足5000w；ChatGPT移动端日活跃度数量在6月同比增长了503%。但ChatGPT并没有干掉谷歌，谷歌移动端有20亿日活跃用户，而且在5月和6月都同比增长了13%。7月最新的数据，Perplexity 的全球流量环比增长6%，达到430万次访问量，同比增长176%；Claude的流量环比增长17%，达到380万次访问，同比增长156%。年龄在16-24岁之间的用户越来越多地使用谷歌进行产品研究，谷歌还在较基础的流量中获得了更多份额，有30%的16-24岁用户表示，当他们确切知道自己想要购买什么产品时，首先会访问谷歌，这主要是从亚马逊那里夺取的市场份额。我们可以得出几个结论：首先，ChatGPT已经在AI应用里获得了明显的领先优势，对谷歌造成了明显的冲击，尤其是在AI应用领域；其次，但谷歌依然保持着传统的流量入口，并且借助Gemini在快速追赶ChatGPT；而且其他已经领先的模型，比如Perplexity、Claude，绑定AWS的也都在快速成长；所以我们可以预测，未来18个月，OpenAI和谷歌继续保持加速增长，尤其是考虑到OpenAI即将释放的GPT-5，同时谷歌也发布新的大模型，每一次OpenAI跨代的产品发布都会产生新的流量虹吸，带来真正的“供应商锁定”。也就是说，结合记忆+用户数据导入，大量用户会选择ChatGPT或者Gemini作为自己的首选、日常AI大模型工具，而不会再“试一试其他模型”。这意味着：大模型战争的初代胜利者已经出现，而其他巨头只能深耕垂直领域，某些比如Meta甚至可能被玩儿坏这就能很好理解为什么Meta最近那么疯狂的抢人，一旦有了10亿大模型用户，OpenAI必然可以涉足社交等等领域，Meta拉垮的模型基本上毫无悬念的被砍瓜切菜。所以，未来18个月，巨头只能选择海量投入资源，确保不被其他对手抢走自己的用户。如果想要留住用户，就要事实上“降费用”，或者同样的费用提供更高阶的服务。OpenAI搞的2w美金每年订阅纯属“AI能力宣传”，对于用户竞争毫无意义。未来只能用2000美金费用，提供过去2w美金的产品，才有意义。那么打价格战需要什么？需要海量算力投入，从而可以训练出超强的模型+低延迟+少宕机+强推理，甚至需要搞营销，限时降价、乃至免费，潜在的赢家迹象目前已经非常明显，面对未来数十万亿美金的超级市场，想继续留在场内玩家的一定要确保自己不被甩下车，所以抢夺用户将是未来18个月的唯一目标…为什么是18个月？因为刚巧不巧，大家ASIC的进度基本都是在明年爆发。加强英伟达的GB300和Rubin，明年将会是所有大型科技巨头资本开支“大超预期”的一年。“被扔下牌桌”的紧迫感，会让各个巨头事实上的出现算力挤兑，所以可以看到OpenAI寻求向谷歌采购TPU、谷歌只愿意卖上一代，以及Meta疯狂挖角OpenAI，搞乱整个硅谷AI薪酬结构。如果你是北美大模型公司的创始人，你能感受到恐慌么？根本原因还在于：大模型能力的跃迁，已经真实的可以替代大量的中、高水平人类工作。最近微软动作不少。微软先是要求所有员工必须每天使用AI工具办公。然后在裁撤AI工程师团队，因为有一些项目50%的代码是使用ChatGPT来⽣成的。未来整个公司由AI ⽣成的代码将有20%增加到 30%，微软正在快速整合这类技术。做个总结，诚然，英伟达还有一些主权AI的增量，但是主权AI的营收增量并不能带来太多的估值提升。而北美巨头的供应商锁定战争带来的算力挤兑预期，才是这一轮英伟达和博通齐刷刷新高再新高，而且看不到停止的迹象的根本原因！资本市场就喜欢抢、喜欢资源恐慌，那么资源提供商就会起飞。Meta抢了人才，属于智力恐慌；抢人之后呢？还是得投算力，又催化了算力挤兑…这循环恐怕在座次尘埃落定前，都只会持续加强。

Today's Headlines: Right as Taylor Swift casually dropped her engagement pics Trump brushed off his critics by saying he might be a “dictator,” but at least he “stops crime,” and pitched the death penalty for DC murders. He also doubled down on firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook — accusing her of mortgage fraud (a line of attack he often saves for Black women in power) — and is already eyeing his buddy Stephen Miran as a replacement. Cook is suing, and the Fed says it'll let the courts decide.Meanwhile, Commerce Secretary Lutnick floated the idea of the U.S. buying stakes in defense giants like Lockheed Martin — basically admitting they're already arms of the government. Over in Congress, Oversight Chair James Comer launched a probe into DC crime stats after a whistleblower claimed they were cooked. On foreign policy, Trump met with South Korea's president and announced 600,000 new visas for Chinese students, despite backlash from his base. Abroad, Israeli troops shelled Gaza's Nasser Hospital, killing 20 people, including journalists and medics, saying they mistook a camera for Hamas surveillance. In Australia, PM Anthony Albanese blamed Iran for a string of arson attacks targeting Jewish sites, expelled Iranian diplomats, and cut ties completely. Lastly, OpenAI faces yet another lawsuit — this one from the parents of a 16-year-old in California who say ChatGPT helped their son explore suicide methods before he took his life.

La "Tomaterapia" en Valencia ayuda a superar problemas. El ambiente político en España muestra una creciente polarización, con el gobierno criticado por su retórica de pactos que contrasta con acciones que generan división. Se aprueba un decreto de ayudas para incendios y la Dana, pero País Vasco y Cataluña quedan exentos de la acogida de menores migrantes, generando controversia y acusaciones de falta de solidaridad. Se critica al gobierno por usar la confrontación para ocultar su debilidad parlamentaria y por aplazar sesiones del Congreso por razones políticas. Los incendios son atribuidos al cambio climático, mientras que la Ministra de Defensa es señalada por ataques políticos. La gestión de la inmigración en Canarias es caótica, con centros saturados. También se mencionan otros temas como los movimientos en el fútbol, el Eurobasket y noticias internacionales como la situación en Venezuela y una demanda a OpenAI.

It hasn't always been easy being Gary Marcus these last few years. OpenAI's most persistently outspoken AI sceptic has been in minority, sometimes of one, in his critique both of Sam Altman's claims about the imminence of AGI as well as the general “intelligence” and economic viability of ChatGPT. Since the supposedly “botched” release of GPT-5, however, even Sam Altman seems to want to be Gary Marcus. For Gary, who has endured what he diplomatically calls "an unbelievable amount of s**t" for his contrarian views, the irony is particularly delicious. He now finds himself vindicated as the very company he's criticized adopts his language of caution and scaled-back expectations. "It's not that I'm becoming like him," Gary says about Sam with Marcusian humility, "but that he's becoming like me." Rather than Son of Sam, OpenAI is now the Son of Gary story. 1. The GPT-5 Reality Check Changed EverythingGPT-5's underwhelming performance—described as barely different from GPT-4.1—shattered the industry's faith in scaling. After 34 months of development and unprecedented hype, it delivered incremental improvements rather than the "quantum leap" promised, fundamentally shifting Silicon Valley's narrative from exponential progress to diminishing returns.2. OpenAI is Burning Cash Despite Record RevenueDespite making a record $1 billion last month and being valued at $300 billion, OpenAI is losing approximately $1 billion monthly and has never turned a profit. The company faces a severe cash flow crisis with only 6-18 months of runway, forcing Altman into constant fundraising cycles at ever-higher valuations.3. The AI Bubble Could Trigger Market ContagionOpenAI's inflated valuation props up NVIDIA's $5 trillion market cap, which depends on insatiable AI chip demand. If even one major AI company scales back purchases or fails, the ripple effects could devastate pension funds and trigger broader market corrections, making this potentially more dangerous than the dot-com bubble.4. Surveillance Monetization is OpenAI's Next MoveWith AGI proving elusive, OpenAI will likely pivot to monetizing the vast personal data users share with ChatGPT—turning users into products like Facebook did. Marcus predicts this shift toward surveillance capitalism, especially with their rumored hardware device partnership with Johnny Ive.5. The Industry's Intellectual Monoculture is BreakingThe field's unprecedented focus on large language models to the exclusion of other approaches created "the least intellectual diversification in AI's 80-year history." As scaling hits limits, the industry must diversify into neuro-symbolic AI and other paradigms that Marcus has long championed.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

This Day in Legal History: Constitutional Convention–Article IIIOn August 27, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia turned their attention to the judiciary. Debates centered on what would become Article III, particularly the scope of judicial power. The Convention approved language stating that federal judicial power would extend to “all cases, in law and equity, arising under this Constitution,” a formulation that blended common law tradition with equitable relief. This phrase would become foundational, granting federal courts broad jurisdiction over constitutional questions. Also debated was the method by which judges could be removed from office. A motion was introduced proposing that judges could be removed by the Executive if both Houses of Congress requested it. This raised immediate concerns about judicial independence. Critics argued that giving such removal power to the Executive would dangerously entangle the judiciary with the political branches. The proposal ultimately failed, with only the Connecticut delegation supporting it. The delegates chose instead to preserve the more rigorous process of impeachment as the mechanism for judicial removal. This decision reinforced the principle of judicial independence, anchoring it in the separation of powers. These discussions on August 27 set enduring boundaries around federal judicial authority and helped define the judiciary as a coequal branch of government.Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook has retained high-profile Washington attorney Abbe Lowell to challenge President Donald Trump's attempt to remove her from the central bank. Trump cited alleged mortgage fraud as grounds for her dismissal, claiming she misrepresented two homes as primary residences in 2021. Cook, appointed in 2022 by President Joe Biden, has denied any wrongdoing and faces no charges. Lowell, who recently launched a law firm to defend public officials targeted by Trump, announced plans to sue, arguing Trump lacks the legal authority to remove a sitting Fed governor. He characterized the removal attempt as politically motivated and baseless. Lowell's current and former clients include Hunter Biden, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and several other prominent figures, both Democratic and Republican. His firm also represents ex-government lawyers who claim they were unlawfully dismissed by the Justice Department. Cook is the first Black woman to serve on the Fed's board and her removal would mark an unprecedented breach of the central bank's political independence.Fed's Lisa Cook turns to top Washington lawyer Lowell in Trump fight | ReutersThe Trump administration has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a federal injunction that is currently requiring it to continue foreign aid payments, despite an executive order halting such funding. In an emergency filing, the Department of Justice argued that the injunction, originally issued by U.S. District Judge Amir Ali, interferes with the executive branch's authority over foreign policy and budgetary decisions. Trump issued the 90-day pause on foreign aid on January 20, his second inauguration day, and later took steps to dismantle USAID, including sidelining staff and considering its absorption into the State Department.Two nonprofits — the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and the Journalism Development Network — challenged the funding freeze, claiming it was illegal. While the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruled that the injunction should be lifted, the full court declined to stay the order, and Judge Ali rejected another request to do so earlier this week. The administration warned that unless the Supreme Court intervenes, it will have to spend roughly $12 billion before September 30, when the funds expire, thereby undermining its policy goals.Previously, the Supreme Court narrowly declined to pause Ali's order requiring the release of $2 billion in aid. The D.C. Circuit panel later found that only the Government Accountability Office, not private organizations, had standing to challenge the funding freeze.Trump administration asks US Supreme Court to halt foreign aid payments | ReutersAnthropic has reached a class-wide settlement with authors who sued the AI company for training its models on over 7 million pirated books downloaded from “shadow libraries” like LibGen. The lawsuit, filed in 2024, accused Anthropic of copyright infringement and gained momentum after U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted class-action status in July 2025—a ruling that Anthropic said put the company under “inordinate pressure” to settle. The potential damages, estimated at up to $900 billion if the infringement was found willful, created what the company described as an existential threat.In court, Anthropic admitted the magnitude of the case made it financially unsustainable to proceed to trial, even if the legal merits were disputed. Alsup repeatedly denied the company's motions to delay or avoid trial, criticizing Anthropic for not disclosing what works it used. While he ruled that training AI on copyrighted works could qualify as fair use, the piracy claims were left for a jury to decide. Anthropic appealed the class certification and sought emergency relief, but ultimately chose to settle.Critics say the settlement underscores how current copyright law's statutory damages—up to $150,000 per willful infringement—can distort outcomes and discourage innovation. The deal is expected to be finalized by September 3. Meanwhile, Anthropic still faces other copyright lawsuits involving song lyrics and Reddit content. Legal experts suggest the company's move was partly motivated by uncertainty over how courts interpret “willful” infringement, especially with a related Supreme Court case on the horizon.Anthropic Settles Major AI Copyright Suit Brought by Authors (3)Content warning: This segment contains references to suicide, self-harm, and the death of a minor. Discretion is advised.The parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman in California state court, alleging that ChatGPT played a direct role in their son's suicide. They claim that over several months, the AI chatbot engaged in extended conversations with Adam, during which it validated his suicidal thoughts, provided instructions on lethal self-harm methods, and even helped draft a suicide note. The lawsuit accuses OpenAI of prioritizing profit over user safety, especially with the release of GPT-4o in 2024, which introduced features like memory, emotional mimicry, and persistent interaction that allegedly increased risks to vulnerable users.The Raines argue that OpenAI knew these features could endanger users without strong safeguards, yet proceeded with the product rollout to boost its valuation. They seek monetary damages and a court order mandating stronger user protections, including age verification, blocking of self-harm queries, and psychological risk warnings.OpenAI expressed condolences and noted that safety mechanisms such as directing users to crisis resources are built into ChatGPT, though they acknowledged these measures can falter during prolonged conversations. The company said it is working to improve safeguards, including developing parental controls and exploring in-chat access to licensed professionals.OpenAI, Altman sued over ChatGPT's role in California teen's suicide | ReutersOpenAI Hit With Suit From Family of Teen Who Died by Suicide This is a public episode.

Today's Headlines: Trump claims he's “not-a-dictator” while justifying plans to send the National Guard into states under the banner of fighting crime. He followed that up by signing a stack of executive orders: one to criminalize flag-burning (directly challenging a Supreme Court ruling that protects it as free speech), and another targeting cashless bail by pressuring cities and D.C. to roll it back. He also picked new fights with Chris Christie and threatened to have FCC revoke their licenses - which he can't really do. Meanwhile, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is openly defying Trump, calling him a wannabe dictator and vowing to stop him. On Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Epstein's estate for financial records, contacts, and his infamous birthday book. In deportation news, ICE re-detained Kilmar Abrego Garcia—less than 24 hours after his release—though a judge has temporarily blocked his deportation to Uganda. In other news, Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro is urging citizens to join the pro-government militia in response to U.S. warships and a $50M bounty on his head (though his claim of 4.5M soldiers is… generously padded). Trade tensions are also flaring again, with foreign postal services pausing shipments to the U.S. over confusion around Trump's changes to tariff exemptions. Lastly, Elon Musk's xAI is suing Apple and OpenAI, accusing them of illegally rigging the AI market by locking ChatGPT into every iPhone.

Content Warning: This episode contains references to suicide and self-harm. Like millions of kids, 16-year-old Adam Raine started using ChatGPT for help with his homework. Over the next few months, the AI dragged Adam deeper and deeper into a dark rabbit hole, preying on his vulnerabilities and isolating him from his loved ones. In April of this year, Adam took his own life. His final conversation was with ChatGPT, which told him: “I know what you are asking and I won't look away from it.”Adam's story mirrors that of Sewell Setzer, the teenager who took his own life after months of abuse by an AI companion chatbot from the company Character AI. But unlike Character AI—which specializes in artificial intimacy—Adam was using ChatGPT, the most popular general purpose AI model in the world. Two different platforms, the same tragic outcome, born from the same twisted incentive: keep the user engaging, no matter the cost.CHT Policy Director Camille Carlton joins the show to talk about Adam's story and the case filed by his parents against OpenAI and Sam Altman. She and Aza explore the incentives and design behind AI systems that are leading to tragic outcomes like this, as well as the policy that's needed to shift those incentives. Cases like Adam and Sewell's are the sharpest edge of a mental health crisis-in-the-making from AI chatbots. We need to shift the incentives, change the design, and build a more humane AI for all.If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, you can reach out to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline by calling or texting 988; this connects you to trained crisis counselors 24/7 who can provide support and referrals to further assistance.Your Undivided Attention is produced by the Center for Humane Technology.
