To capture the momentum from this rally, Bank of America screened for the most important stocks in each region of the world — including the U.S. — that have the potential to have the largest impact on portfolio performance, positive or negative. Bank of America found these stocks to be among the most important in the U.S.: Chipmaker Nvidia and oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil ranked fairly high on the firm's steady compounders list within the screen. Meta's shares are up nearly 64% year to date. Other stocks considered the most important names in the U.S. include rideshare company Uber and pharma name Eli Lilly .

☆ The AI industry is facing an existential question. OpenAI's chief product officer says he's not worried.

OpenAI's chief product officer isn't worried that the rise of open-source will cause the second. In the first vision, AI startups are in a winner-takes-all race. AdvertisementOn Wednesday, OpenAI chief product officer Kevin Weil took to the stage, where Anyscale cofounder Robert Nishihara asked him what open-source models mean for OpenAI's business. These AI models, such as Meta's Llama offerings, are freely available for almost anyone to use, while OpenAI sells access to propriety, closed models. But if downloadable, open-source models pull all prices down to the "cost of production," then Andreessen's first vision — of "infinite profits" — starts to appear a little less likely.

☆ Meta found a new way to crack down on scam accounts, and it seems to be working

Meta is partnering with banks to identify scam accounts. Meta says the collaboration led to the removal of 20,000 scam accounts in the UK alone. So Meta launched a new program that allows banks to "share intelligence" directly with the social media conglomerate to more efficiently combat scams. Meta said in a statement that, based on data shared by the two banks, it has already removed 20,000 accounts it believes were run by scammers. In just the first six months, the program blocked 8,000 different pages and 9,000 celebrity scams, Meta told the outlet.

☆ Digital bank Revolut slams Meta over approach to scams, says tech giant should compensate victims
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Ryan Browne | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

British financial technology firm Revolut on Thursday criticized Facebook parent company Meta over its approach to tackling fraud, saying the U.S. tech giant should directly compensate people who fall victim to scams via its social media platforms. In a statement, Woody Malouf, Revolut's head of financial crime, said that Meta's plans to tackle financial fraud on its platforms amount to "baby steps, when what the industry really needs is giant leaps forward." "These platforms share no responsibility in reimbursing victims, and so they have no incentive to do anything about it. Britain's Payments System Regulator had previously recommended a £415,000 maximum compensation amount for fraud victims, but backed down following backlash from banks and payment firms. The fintech firm published a report Thursday alleging that 62% of user-reported fraud on its online banking platform originated from Meta, down from 64% last year.

☆ Mark Zuckerberg is now world's second-richest person, ahead of Jeff Bezos
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-03 | by ( Jonathan Vanian | In | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has surpassed Jeff Bezos as the world's second richest person. The Facebook co-founder now trails Tesla chief Elon Musk by roughly $50 billion, the index showed. Meta has pointed to its hefty artificial intelligence investments as helping improve the performance of its online advertising platform as a reason for its sales growth. The company's online advertising system suffered a major setback in 2021 when Apple introduced an iOS privacy update that weakened its ability to track users across the web. Investors reacted favorably to Meta's cost cutting while the company's online advertising business began to rebound and was bolstered by the massive digital ad spending campaigns by Chinese-linked retailers Temu and Shien.

☆ How to keep betting on a Meta breakout with protection in case of a pullback
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-02 | by ( Tony Zhang | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

The strategic focus Meta has placed on monetizing these AI tools across its platforms — including Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp — gives it a unique competitive advantage. This commitment to revenue generation from AI sets it apart from other firms still exploring AI potential without clear paths to monetization. If we review the chart for Meta, it has shown strong performance, recently breaking above a key resistance level at $545. Meanwhile, the company boasts robust growth projections with an expected future EPS growth of 22% (industry average of 16%) and a revenue growth rate of 15% (industry average of 11%). With these growth and profitability metrics, Meta appears undervalued, offering a compelling risk/reward profile for long-term investors looking to benefit from its AI-driven revenue potential.

Gavin Newsom vetoed an artificial intelligence safety bill on Sunday, a win for AI heavyweights like OpenAI and Big Tech companies that lobbied against it. The debate in California reflects the challenge governments face walking the fine line between allowing tech companies to innovate while protecting against new potential risks. Elon Musk, who founded AI company xAI last year, said last month that although it was "a tough call and will make some people upset," he thought "California should probably pass the SB 1047 AI safety bill." Several former OpenAI employees also supported the safety bill and said that OpenAI's opposition to the bill was disappointing.

The most impressive aspect of Meta's Orion augmented-reality glasses has more to do with size and comfort than flashy computer graphics. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg revealed the Orion glasses on Wednesday and pitched them as "a glimpse of a future that I think is going to be pretty exciting." While Orion is not capable of putting users in fully virtual worlds, the glasses can overlay digital graphics onto the real world. And unlike VR headsets that can be cumbersome to wear for extended periods, Boorstin said she found the Orion glasses to be a good fit.
