💰 OpenAI expects to spend trillions on future AI LINK
  • OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman said the company plans to spend trillions of dollars on infrastructure for advanced artificial intelligence, a figure he expects economists and analysts will probably call reckless.
  • To finance its computing and infrastructure costs, the company is creating a "very interesting new kind of financial instrument" that doesn't currently exist, avoiding traditional fundraising routes for its AI buildout.
  • Altman also admitted a public offering is likely at some point to help fund the plan, clarifying that the previously announced $500 billion Stargate project is now viewed as just the beginning.
⚖️ Louisiana sues Roblox over child safety concerns LINK
  • Louisiana's attorney general filed a lawsuit against Roblox, accusing it of putting profits over child safety by allowing games like "Escape to Epstein Island" to be labeled for all ages.
  • The suit alleges Roblox facilitates the distribution of child sexual abuse material, deliberately fails to implement safety controls, and does not warn parents or young users about platform risks.
  • The state is seeking a permanent injunction to stop Roblox from claiming it has adequate safety features and prohibit any violation of the Louisiana Unfair Trade Practices Act.
📈 ChatGPT mobile app earns over $2 billion LINK
  • Since launching in May 2023, ChatGPT's mobile app for iOS and Android has reached $2 billion in global consumer spending, which is approximately 30-times the combined lifetime spending of its rivals.
  • This year alone, the ChatGPT app has made $1.35 billion from January to July, a 673 percent year-over-year increase that pushes average monthly consumer spending to nearly $193 million.
  • With a lifetime global spending per download of $2.91, ChatGPT already leads its rivals, and that amount jumps to $10 in the U.S., its single largest market for revenue.
🤖 Meta plans its fourth AI restructuring in six months LINK
  • Meta is reportedly planning its fourth overhaul of artificial intelligence efforts in six months, following recent senior staff departures and a poor reception for its open-source Llama 4 model.
  • The company plans to divide its new Superintelligence Labs unit into four teams, including a "TBD Lab," a products team, an infrastructure team, and the Fundamental AI Research lab.
  • This restructuring comes as Meta spends billions on massive AI data centers and has raised its annual capital expenditures forecast to a range of $66 billion to $72 billion.
💰 Trump mulls a 300% tariff on chips LINK
  • Donald Trump is considering new tariffs of 200 to 300 percent on semiconductors, a proposal that could triple the price of PC components like Nvidia's top-end GeForce RTX 5090.
  • The threat of extreme duties creates prolonged uncertainty for the supply chain, forcing chipmakers and electronics brands to make contingency plans that can slow down real investment in their businesses.
  • This action could be allowed under a Section 232 investigation, which lets the President adjust tariffs for national security, and the Department of Commerce already has one underway.
🛡️ Anthropic has new rules for a more dangerous AI landscape LINK
  • Anthropic updated its policy to specifically forbid using Claude for developing high-yield explosives along with biological, nuclear, chemical, and radiological (CBRN) types of weapons.
  • A new section on cybersecurity addresses risks from agentic AI tools by prohibiting the creation of malware, the discovery of vulnerabilities, or development of tools for denial-of-service attacks.
  • Anthropic loosened its rules on political content, now only stopping deceptive or disruptive uses for democratic processes, like voter and campaign targeting, instead of a complete ban.
