Billionaire Dan Loeb Dismisses AI Bubble Theory: AI Is Just Getting Started, Massive Capital Expenditure Will Pay Off
: Billionaire investor and founder of hedge fund Third Point, Dan Loeb, stated in a podcast that current market concerns over an AI "bubble" are greatly exaggerated, and the development phase of the AI industry is completely different from the dot-com bubble era.Loeb pointed out that the combined capital expenditures of tech giants including Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta have already exceeded $700 billion this year, and could reach $1 trillion next year, with the vast majority allocated to AI infrastructure construction. He indicated that not believing these capital expenditures can yield returns is equivalent to believing these companies are "burning cash for nothing," but currently these companies have strong profitability and ample cash flow, allowing them to rely on their own balance sheets to support investments.Loeb emphasized that this is different from the dot-com bubble period when "valuations were detached from fundamentals," and does not constitute a traditional valuation bubble. He also noted that AI companies like Anthropic are experiencing rapid revenue growth and accelerating product deployment, indicating the industry is still in its early expansion phase.According to reports, Anthropic's latest funding round valuation has approached nearly $965 billion, with annualized revenue surging from $14 billion to $47 billion, further strengthening market confidence in the commercialization potential of AI.However, some investors in the market, including Michael Burry, have expressed concerns about AI valuations overheating, believing that massive investments may struggle to generate corresponding returns. Loeb stated, "We haven't even scratched the surface of AI development," and believes it remains in the early stages of long-term growth. (BusinessInsider)

New Stock God Serenity: SIVE Deeply Tied to Ayar, Benefiting from the Global AI Rack-Scale Optical Interconnect Wave
Serenity, hailed as the "New Stock God," recently commented on its heavily weighted position SIVE. Ayar Labs and Wiwynn announced a partnership today, a move that could profoundly impact Sivers Semiconductors' (SIVE) efforts to drive the implementation of Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) technology at the rack level.Wiwynn services top-tier cloud providers such as Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft, and is also in talks with Google regarding TPU-related deployments. According to the reference architecture, a single rack needs to be equipped with over 512 Supernova light sources. If SIVE successfully becomes the primary laser array supplier, even a medium-scale rack deployment would bring significant revenue growth to the company.Serenity admitted that the current tri-party rack-level commercialization layout is still in its early stages, and related results have not yet been reflected in financial reports. However, this cooperation has already unlocked key pathways for the large-scale application of CPO, serving as a positive signal from the supply chain that deserves continued market attention.SIVE is currently listed on Nasdaq Stockholm in Sweden. The company is evaluating plans for a dual listing on the US Nasdaq and has not yet debuted on the US main board. The stock dropped sharply by 15.49% in the previous trading session. In response, Serenity stated that the pullback in the optical AI sector and SIVE is merely normal volatility during an upward trend, and it continues to increase its holdings.

Gates Foundation Sold All Microsoft Shares in Q1, Worth $3.2 Billion
According to documents filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Gates Foundation Trust sold its remaining approximately 7.7 million shares of Microsoft stock in the first quarter of 2026, valued at roughly $3.2 billion based on current share prices. As of the end of the quarter, the charitable foundation no longer holds any Microsoft stock. Market analysts believe this full divestment aligns with Bill Gates’ recent charitable planning direction. In May 2025, Gates announced that the foundation would gradually wind down its operations over the next 20 years and allocate all its assets to charitable purposes, with the goal of permanently closing the foundation by December 31, 2045; charitable expenditures during this period are projected to exceed $200 billion.

Trump fined $200 again for delayed disclosure of multi-million dollar stock trades
Odaily According to Trump's latest investment disclosure filing, he sold between $5 million and $25 million worth of Microsoft and Amazon stock this February, and repurchased shares in both companies in March. However, he failed to disclose these transactions within the statutory 45-day window, resulting in a $200 fine. This marks the third time this year he has been penalized for the same violation.Notably, Trump also purchased Nvidia stock on February 10th. Just days later, Nvidia announced a multi-year partnership agreement with Meta, causing its stock price to rise by approximately 2.5%. Furthermore, his purchases of Microsoft and Amazon stock preceded the Pentagon's announcement of contracts to deploy confidential computing network technology with both companies by several months. Trump has not sold any of his stock portfolio during his second term; his assets are held in a trust managed by his children, differing from the blind trust arrangements commonly adopted by previous presidents. Although members of both parties in Congress have repeatedly introduced legislation to prohibit officials from trading stocks while in office, progress on such legislation has stalled.

Hackers Inject Malicious Code into Mistral AI Software Package
According to Decrypt, Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence team disclosed that attackers had injected malicious code into Mistral AI packages distributed via the PyPI platform. This malicious code automatically executes when developers use the packages on Linux systems, downloading and running a malicious file named <code>transformers.pyz</code> in the background—the filename deliberately mimics the widely used Hugging Face Transformers library to evade detection. Microsoft noted that the malware primarily steals developers’ login credentials and access tokens. It avoids execution on Russian-language systems and includes logic that can randomly delete files on devices located in Israel or Iran. This attack is linked to the “Shai-Hulud” supply-chain campaign launched in September. In response, Mistral stated that its investigation found the attack originated from compromised developer devices, and its corporate infrastructure was not breached.

He noted that the restructured organization is now clearer, though the non-profit entity retains control.Meanwhile, Satya Nadella testified that when Microsoft invested over $13 billion in OpenAI in 2019, it "took on significant risk when no one else was willing to bet on them."

According to Bloomberg, Microsoft’s early 2023 planning documents set a target of generating $92 billion in returns from its early large-scale investment in OpenAI.

OpenAI Lawsuit: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Testifies in Court as Altman-Musk Dispute Escalates to Core Partnership Relations in the AI Giant
Odaily Odaily News: In the OpenAI lawsuit, Satya Nadella testified in court as Microsoft's CEO at the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California. The case centers on the ongoing legal dispute over OpenAI's non-profit structure and its path to commercialization. The lawsuit, filed by Elon Musk in 2024, accuses Microsoft of "aiding and abetting the breach of charitable trust obligations" during OpenAI's transition from a non-profit organization to a commercial entity. Microsoft has been making strategic investments in OpenAI since 2019, with cumulative investments reaching approximately $13 billion by 2023, making it one of OpenAI's most important external supporters.During the trial, Satya Nadella reviewed the early partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI, mentioning that the two parties had established deep technological and computing power collaboration before the launch of ChatGPT. In his earlier testimony, Musk stated that Microsoft's additional investment of approximately $10 billion in OpenAI in 2023 was the key turning point that prompted him to file the lawsuit, adding that the scale of the investment altered OpenAI's original non-profit-oriented structure. During the trial, Musk stated: "We are concerned they are turning a charitable organization into a commercial tool." He also questioned Microsoft's potential dominant position in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and pointed out that its deep integration with OpenAI could impact the competitive landscape of the industry.The case is currently still under trial, and the debate surrounding OpenAI's governance structure, non-profit status, and control over the AI industry is expected to continue.
