Small programming tricks

Meta's Zuckerberg rejects calls to slow AI development

Mark Zuckerberg has joined the debate over AI safety, and his position is to trust the "natural incentive" companies have to deliver a safe and effective product. Posting on social media, the Meta CEO opposed calls championed by Dario Amodei of rival Anthropic to collectively slow the development of advanced models. Zuckerberg noted that Meta unilaterally paused the release of its latest Muse tools "to focus on safety and security." Says Bain Capital Ventures partner Saanya Ojha: "Taking the warnings seriously is not the same as taking the CEOs at their word."

OpenAI could score a $1.2T valuation — even before its IPO

OpenAI is in talks for another massive private funding round that could raise its valuation to about $1.2 trillion, the Financial Times reports, citing anonymous sources — even before its expected blockbuster IPO. The discussions come at the behest of the investors, the sources say, who just months ago poured $122 billion into the ChatGPT maker.

Thought the housing market was tough before? Just wait

If you've been waiting for mortgage rates to drop before buying a house, prepare to wait even longer. Rates are approaching 7% for the first time since January 2025, further slowing a housing market that's already been in suspended animation for years. "[S]eeing a mortgage rate that starts with a seven could be enough to make some buyers reconsider a purchase they were already stretching to make," notes economist Thomas J. Thompson. Plus, wage growth is slow, and home prices now sit around 60% higher than pre-pandemic, compounding the stressors for potential buyers.
