Earlier this year, Meta planned for AI to take over much of the daily work performed by thousands of human employees, and executives explored slashing the size of many teams by as much as 60%. But just hours before the first layoff wave, the CEO blinked. Reuters Tech Reporter Katie Paul reports.

The CEO of Robinhood discusses his perspective on the current economic climate, balancing concerns about low productivity, national debt, and potential geopolitical conflicts with optimism regarding the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and technological innovation. He advocates for increased access to financial markets, suggesting that regulations like age restrictions for investing and the accredited investor rule create barriers that prevent younger and non-wealthy individuals from building wealth and learning essential financial lessons early on.

The discussion highlights his vision for a multigenerational financial platform that enables broad participation in the economy. He expresses concern that technologies like AI may exacerbate wealth inequality by centralizing power, emphasizing the need for wider public participation in capitalism to maintain societal stability. Ultimately, he argues that the U.S. can foster a flourishing economy by embracing technological shifts, attracting global talent, and ensuring that more people are actively invested in the growth of American companies.

In this video, Saarim Asady breaks down LinkedIn’s major algorithm update, which replaced hard-coded rules with an AI-driven system. Rather than relying on simple keywords or vanity metrics, the new AI scans your entire profile and content to deliver posts directly to your target audience.

Key takeaways include:

• Quality over Reach: Overall views and impressions may decrease, but targeted reach will increase. Broad, generic posts dilute reach, while highly specific content helps the AI identify your ideal buyers.
• New Engagement Signals: The AI evaluates dwell time and scroll-stopping behavior rather than relying solely on traditional likes or comments.
• Profile Signaling: Your LinkedIn profile headline and content must clearly communicate who you serve and what outcomes you deliver to ensure the AI routes your profile to the right leads.
• Evaluating Success: Creators can verify if the algorithm is working by checking profile viewers or post engagers to ensure at least 50% match their target demographic.

Ultimately, the update turns LinkedIn into a hyper-targeted organic prospecting tool, favoring niche, high-value creators over viral, generic posts.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp opened the company’s second Sovereignty Bootcamp, where he explained what will happen if institutions fail to become healthier and stronger, and what the future competitive landscape will look like for the dominant sovereign players.

Sam Palmisano says the AI boom is built on long-cycle bets in data centers, chips and energy, even as AI software changes at breakneck speed. If adoption slows or cheaper Chinese open-source models gain traction, Big Tech may have to rethink the spending plans behind today’s AI race.
