OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says AI's impact on the economy should be a top of mind concern. Research suggests AI has the potential to affect millions of jobs and lead to lower wages. But when OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was asked for his thoughts on how the spread of AI-generated misinformation may affect elections, the tech leader appeared to be more concerned about another issue: AI's impact on the economy. An International Monetary Fund study from earlier this year found that AI may impact roughly 60% of jobs in "advanced economies." But Altman said he is still worried about AI's potential on the labor market.

CNBC's Jim Cramer on Thursday reviewed the IPO of Viking , a cruise line whose market debut this week was the biggest of the year so far. And despite its hefty price tag, Cramer said he's willing to pay up for the stock. Viking stands apart from much of the competition — its ships don't have casinos, children aren't allowed, and it specifically targets a wealthy consumer. He conceded that Viking doesn't have a perfect balance sheet, but neither do the other publicly-traded cruise lines. But to Cramer, Viking deserves a premium.

The debate is taking place as kennel clubs try to entice younger children to show dogs. Many dog shows include competitions for junior handlers, including a "Pee Wee" division for kids under the age of 10.

They make up "well over" half of its in-restaurant orders at these locations, CFO Katie Fogertey told investors in November.
