| 💰 OpenAI launches ChatGPT for personal finance LINK |
- OpenAI has rolled out a preview of personal finance tools inside ChatGPT for Pro subscribers in the U.S., letting them link their bank and investment accounts to ask about spending, planning, and portfolio performance.
- The feature works through a Plaid partnership covering over 12,000 institutions including Schwab, Fidelity, Chase, Robinhood, and American Express, and builds on OpenAI's April acquisition of the team behind personal finance startup Hiro.
- Users start by clicking "Finances" in the sidebar or typing "@Finances, connect my accounts," and they can disconnect services in Settings, with synced data removed from ChatGPT within 30 days afterward.
| 🚀 SpaceX targets June 11 IPO pricing on Nasdaq LINK |
- SpaceX is aiming to price its initial public offering as soon as June 11 and has chosen Nasdaq as its listing venue, with shares set to trade under the ticker 'SPCX', sources told Reuters.
- The company has pulled forward its timeline, planning to make its prospectus public as early as next Wednesday, kick off a roadshow on June 4, and debut on the market as soon as June 12.
- SpaceX is likely to target a raise of about $75 billion at a roughly $1.75 trillion valuation, with Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup, JPMorgan, and Goldman Sachs serving as lead bookrunners.
| 🔀 Brockman takes control of OpenAI products LINK |
- OpenAI president Greg Brockman is now officially in charge of all product strategy at the company, following a Friday reorganization aimed at merging ChatGPT and Codex into a single agentic experience for users.
- Brockman will oversee four pillars: core product and platform under Thibault Sottiaux, enterprise industries under Nick Turley, consumer areas like health and finance under Ashley Alexander, and infrastructure, ads, and growth under Vijaye Raji.
- The shuffle makes Brockman's role permanent after AGI boss Fidji Simo went on medical leave last month, and it reflects OpenAI's push to focus on coding and enterprise revenue ahead of a possible IPO later this year.
| 🛡️ Trump says he discussed AI guardrails with Xi LINK |
- Speaking to reporters on Air Force One after the Beijing summit, Trump said he and Xi talked about AI guardrails and Nvidia's H200 chips, describing the guardrails only as "standard" ones the two sides "talk about all the time."
- The two-day meeting ended without a signed AI governance framework, with deeper topics like autonomous weapons, model misuse, and dual-use AI sketched only in outline, though officials hinted at a possible recurring dialogue track on AI risk.
- On the chip side, no H200 has shipped to the ten cleared Chinese buyers despite an elaborate licensing regime that caps China volumes at 50% of US domestic sales, requires third-party lab checks, and routes a 25% revenue share through US territory.
| 📄 arXiv bans AI slop authors for one year LINK |
- ArXiv will hand out one-year bans to authors caught submitting papers with obvious AI-generated content, the preprint repository's computer science chair Thomas Dietterich announced on X late Thursday evening.
- The one-strike rule targets incontrovertible evidence like hallucinated references and leftover chatbot meta-comments such as "would you like me to make any changes?", though authors can appeal and a moderator plus Section Chair must confirm.
- After the ban ends, those authors must first get their submissions accepted at a reputable peer-reviewed venue before posting to arXiv again, an escalation following November 2025 rules that blocked CS review articles and position papers.
| 📹 GoPro pivots to defense amid sale talks LINK |
- GoPro is exploring a sale and other strategic options while also pushing into defense and aerospace markets, hiring investment bank Houlihan Lokey to weigh offers from interested parties in defense, consumer, and financial sectors.
- The action camera maker's board said it received several unsolicited strategic inquiries, and last month GoPro disclosed plans to chase defense contracts, a move that briefly nearly doubled its stock before the price slid back down.
- GoPro's situation has grown worse, with sales falling, losses rising, shares stuck near $1 for two years, and a recent layoff cutting a quarter of staff, leaving just over 600 workers from a former peak of 1,500.
