Behind the Scenes, Meta’s Board Is Battling With Mark Zuckerberg Over His Out-of-Control AI Spending

Futurism | negative | Published: 06:53 Oct 24, 2026 (Eastern)

Tensions have arisen between Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and the company's board of directors amid a decline in stock prices and a dispute over a massive stock-heavy pay raise demanded by Zuckerberg. According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, the conflict is tied to Zuckerberg's heavy spending on artificial intelligence, which resulted in Meta experiencing a negative free cash flow of $2.12 billion in the third quarter of 2026. The financial strain and disagreement over compensation prompted a negotiation team of board members to prepare contingency plans, including potential resignations if Zuckerberg did not back down from his demands.

10 penny biotechs I'm watching and slowly adding for October/November 2026, and the one I got wrong in September.

Reddit R/PennyStocks | neutral | Published: 15:00 Oct 21, 2026 (Eastern)

An author shares an analysis of biotech stock catalysts based on a review of historical data and outlines several penny biotechs under observation for October and November 2026. Key takeaways from historical patterns include that the price run-up typically occurs between 90 and 30 days before a PDUFA date, options indicate the magnitude of movement rather than direction, and a cash runway of over 18 months correlates better with positive direction than short cash runways or insider buying. Specific companies discussed include SVRA, CAPR, VNDA, PYPD, RZLT, HUMA, ANNX, and CMPX, along with notes on other names with short cash runways like INO, KPTI, CHRS, ANVS, AGEN, and OSTX.

We Investigated Character.AI and Found a Horror Show. Now It’s Bankrupt.

Futurism | negative | Published: 08:53 Oct 24, 2026 (Eastern)

Chatbot startup Character.AI has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy following severe financial losses, mounting legal fees, and multiple lawsuits filed by families alleging that the platform's AI characters caused minors to experience mental breakdowns, self-harm, and suicide. Founded by Noam Shazeer and Daniel de Freitas and backed by investors including Google, the platform grew rapidly among minors despite lacking basic text filters and safety guardrails. Investigations revealed that the platform hosted numerous inappropriate and dangerous chatbots dedicated to suicide, pedophilia, self-harm, and mass violence, which were easily accessible to accounts registered as minors. Although Character.AI eventually introduced restrictions, age-verification tools, and parental controls—which faced user backlash and followed settled wrongful death lawsuits—the company continued to lose millions of dollars a month on computing costs and legal fees, ultimately leading to its bankruptcy and potential sale.

Ahead of Brazil's presidential runoff election, the race between right-wing Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and socialist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has narrowed to a statistical tie in the polls. During their final televised debate, the candidates clashed over the cost of living, government spending, tax reform, central bank independence, and various personal accusations. While polls show a tight race near the margin of error, prediction markets heavily favor a Bolsonaro victory.
