❓ Google is finding answers to its AI questions

If Google has already moved past its most perilous legal challenge and wiggled out of the perception of playing catch-up to its rivals, the remaining question is one of search economics: How can Google make money from AI without dismantling the foundation of its search business

In every quarter this year, and most resoundingly this week, Google's answer to that existential question is that artificial intelligence will expand its users' appetites for information.

Google's AI assistant, AI overviews, and AI Mode may eventually supplant the legacy search bar that has built the company.

But the search giant's first $100 billion quarter suggests cannibalization isn't the right frame for Google's AI transition. Augmentation is more like it. Yahoo Finance reports.


🚕 How the Cybercab could help crack the code on a cheaper, mass market Tesla EV

Tesla chair Robyn Denholm said this week that the company's upcoming Cybercab could be shipped with a few tweaks – a steering wheel and pedals.

It doesn't sound earthshaking, but it is a big deal. The Cybercab may solve a big problem for Tesla: It could be converted into the long-awaited cheaper EV, aka the Model 2.

Tesla unveiled the Cybercab – a robotaxi vehicle that lacked steering wheels and pedals – a little over a year ago at a splashy event on the Warner Bros. studio lot.

The Cybercab, it was said, would be built using a new "unboxed" manufacturing process, which would be cheaper, likely use simpler and larger cast parts, and have only two seats. And it would cost around $25,000 to $30,000. Yahoo Finance reports.

🔴 Meta’s stock slide erases $215 billion in market value, as Wall Street pans ‘runaway’ AI spending

Meta Platforms Inc. just raised the midpoint of its capital-spending forecast for the third time this year – spooking analysts and contributing to a hefty selloff of its shares Thursday.

Meta’s stock closed down 11.33% on the day – its worst one-day drop in three years, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

The decline wiped $214.7 billion off of Meta’s market capitalization and was the 10th-largest one-day drop by a US company on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data, as well as Meta’s second-largest one-day market-cap loss – eclipsed only by the $232 billion it shed on Feb. 3, 2022.

💨 The great AI buildout shows no sign of slowing

A momentous week in the technology sector made it clear there is no sign the boom in building artificial intelligence infrastructure is slowing – despite the bubble talk.

Amazon said it would cut 14,000 corporate jobs, just days before its cloud unit posted its strongest growth in nearly three years. Yahoo Finance reports.
