China was once a profit engine for GM, and its top sales market from 2010 to 2023. GM revealed several vehicles last week in China, including plug-in hybrid versions of its Buick GL8 minivan, a best-seller in China, and the Chevrolet Equinox crossover. "We think clearly that market has shifted and the landscape has shifted … with the capability of the Chinese [automakers]," Barra said. But it has had to aggressively cut prices to compete against Chinese automakers such ay BYD, Nio and others.

OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap says generative AI as it is today will be "laughably bad" within a year. The exec predicts ChatGPT could soon take on more "complex work" and be a "great teammate." The tech giant is set to release its latest language model, GPT-5, as early as this summer. One OpenAI executive predicts generative AI tools like its own at the moment will be nothing compared to what's to come. "That's going to be a different way of using software," the OpenAI exec said on the panel regarding AI's foreseeable capabilities.

☆ The AI boom reminds this expert of the dot-com bubble — with one dangerous difference

Read previewThe AI boom resembles the dot-com bubble — but there's one big difference that makes this craze far more dangerous, says one expert. "Many dot-com companies that drove the internet change went broke doing it. Many AI companies driving as big a change will go broke or lose half their value." "The giant AI pioneers won't go broke, but if AI losses drive their stock prices down, lots of investors will suffer," Gordon said. He's previously drawn a line between the dot-com bubble and the tech-stock boom.

☆ Tesla shares 'very expensive': EV maker likely to face a 'huge demand problem' over price cuts, fund manager says

Other automakers are seeing strong growth in their electric vehicle sales even as the overall global auto market faces a downturn, adding to the pressure for Tesla. Similarly, BMW said earlier in April that sales of fully electric vehicles at its core brand jumped 41% in the first quarter. However, as the EV maker aggressively cut the cost of new vehicles globally, used car values have dropped in parallel. "I think there's going to be a huge demand problem for Tesla," he added. However, they reiterated their "overweight" rating for the stock with a price target of $205 – or 12% upside – for Tesla.

The drugmaker's oral drug, called AMG-786, is the second weight loss pill to be discontinued over the last year.

☆ Tesla retreats from next-generation ‘gigacasting’ manufacturing process
▼ + stars: | 2024-05-01 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +4 min

Employees of the Tesla Gigafactory Berlin Brandenburg work on a production line of a Model Y electric vehicle. Tesla has backed away from an ambitious plan for innovations in gigacasting, its pioneering manufacturing process, according to two sources familiar with the matter, in another sign that the electric-vehicle maker is retrenching amid falling sales and rising competition. Tesla has been a leader in gigacasting, a cutting-edge technique that uses huge presses with thousands of tons of clamping pressure to die-cast large sections of the car's underbody. One of the two sources familiar with the automaker's gigacasting operations said the suppliers involved are now adapting Tesla's three-piece process for the next-generation vehicle. Both sources said the automaker decided last autumn to halt work on the more innovative and difficult one-piece casting process.
