Pope Sounds Alarm On AI "Slavery" While Church Aligns With Lefty Anthropic Pope Leo XIV published his first encyclical on Monday, entitled Magnifica Humanitas ( The Magnificence of the Human Person ). The roughly 42,300-word declaration, issued as a papal encyclical, warned, " The fight against new forms of slavery is a decisive test for the ethical discernment of AI and digital transformation." "If technology promises emancipation, yet produces new forms of global subordination , it stands in contradiction to the fundamental principle of human dignity," the pontiff explained in the encyclical, while urging governments to regulate the private companies driving AI advances and warning that the pursuit of profit cannot justify mass job losses. The pontiff called for retraining and protections for working-class folks threatened by AI-related job loss, stronger education to help students understand AI risks, and safeguards against violent, sexualized, or fake AI-generated content targeting children. His strongest warning came on the military use of AI . Leo said AI risks making life-and-death decisions faster, more impersonal, and easier to justify, especially as cyberattacks, influence campaigns, AI kill chains, and hybrid warfare blur the line between defense and aggression. At the event earlier today, where the pontiff unveiled the encyclical, attendees included prominent cardinals and theologians, as well as Christopher Olah, a co-founder of the left-leaning AI startup Anthropic, who leads its interpretability team. The pope said the church and Anthropic will cooperate to "find a path for humanity in the age of artificial intelligence" ...

近年来，存储相关股票的超额回报助推了美国和韩国股市大幅上涨，但市场观察人士警告称，投资者若忘记该市场的周期性，后果自负。 自2022年12月ChatGPT推出以来，存储行业一直处于持续增长期，这引发了对高带宽内存（HBM）的巨大需求。 三星电子和SK海力士是HBM芯片的最大生产商之一，今年迄今其股价分别飙升114%和186%。总部位于美国的 美光 科技和 闪迪 （ SanDisk ）在2026年也已分别上涨141%和156%。 支撑存储芯片股牛市行情的核心逻辑是：认为该行业已摆脱过去的周期性——以往存储需求大幅波动，而供给基本固定。 企业高管们辩称，人工智能已颠覆了该行业大起大落的历史，结构性供应短缺意味着价格可能持续多年居高不下。 BlueBox资产管理公司的投资组合经理威廉·德·盖尔周三表示，这个行业往往会出现“巨大的起伏”。 “从长远来看，这是一个相当糟糕的行业，”他说。 “我怀疑情况依然如此——每次人们论证存储周期已消失、该行业如今已成为长期价值创造行业之时，往往就是一切即将急转直下之际。” 新创新 尽管目前存储芯片供应极为紧张，但Alphabet旗下的 谷歌 于3月24日推出了TurboQuant，这是一种新的压缩方法，据称可将运行大型语言模型所需的内存量减少六分之五。 该技术旨在提高AI模型的效率，这正是各大领先实验室的主要目标。 此类进展有可能大幅削减对AI存储芯片的需求，而这类芯片一直是谷歌、OpenAI和Anthropic等公司训练大型语言模型的关键组件。 德意志银行在周二的一份报告中写道，投资者应“继续为与人工智能相关的持续颠覆做好准备”，TurboQuant的发布即为例证，该技术一经推出便导致最大存储芯片供应商的股价大幅下跌。 不过，分析师补充称，TurboQuant技术是否会引发需求的结构性转变，“仍有待观察”。 财富管理公司JM Finn的投资办公室主管乔恩·坎利夫表示，未来三年产量有大幅提升的空间，从而缓解供应紧张，“尤其是如果AI需求以更正常的步伐增长”。 “今天的股价假设价格将长期保持高位，企业会严守纪律不过度投资，且利润率远优于过去，”他补充道。“我们还想强调，最近几周该板块经历了高度的动量拥挤，这使其容易遭遇大幅回调。” Ranmore基金管理公司首席投资官安德鲁·拉平表示，尽管预测存储芯片何时会供过于求是不可能的任务，但投资一个...

A 30-year-old woman has died after being shot outside a bar in a busy area in Sheffield city centre. South Yorkshire police have launched a murder investigation after the incident in the early hours of this morning outside the One Four One bar on West Street. The woman was found with serious injuries and treated at the scene, before being taken to hospital where she later died. Three people were arrested on suspicion of murder and they remain in custody. A 30-year-old man was detained in Sheffield, while another 30-year-old man and a 32-year-old woman were intercepted by police near Stockport in Greater Manchester. The woman has not been formally identified but her family have been informed and are being supported by officers. Assistant chief constable Colin McFarlane said: “This is a devastating incident which has resulted in the death of a young woman while on a night out during the bank holiday weekend in Sheffield. “First and foremost, our thoughts are with her family and everyone who knew and loved her,” he said. “Our officers have been working extremely hard to piece together the events surrounding the shooting,” he added. “While our investigation is in its early stages, we will continue to have a significant presence at the scene in the area today and in the coming days.” A stretch of West Street and surrounding roads remain closed while the police investigation continues. McFarlane urged people who were in the busy area around West Street and Eldon Street and would have seen what happened to come forward. “Gun crime causes unbearable tragedy and the victim and her family deserve answers,” he said.

deepblue4you/iStock via Getty Images European markets were down during the quarter as a sharp rise in energy prices and escalating geopolitical tensions increased inflation concerns and weighed on growth expectations. Value outperformed growth, and our portfolio outperformed the MSCI Europe Index but slightly lagged the MSCI Europe Value Index. Energy, materials, and information technology were the largest contributing sectors. Equinor ( EQNR ) and Shell ( SHEL ), both energy majors, benefited from the surge in energy prices driven by the conflict in Iran. Glencore ( GLCNF ), a mining company, was higher following a strong earnings report and M&A speculation. Industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary were the largest detracting sectors. Advertising agency Publicis declined despite reporting solid earnings and steady organic growth, as shares fell on concerns around AI disruption. Reckitt Benckiser ( RBGPF ), a consumer goods company, was down after reporting disappointing results characterized by muted volumes and weakness in its European and U.S. businesses. Specialty staffing company Hays ( HAYPF ) detracted from performance as persistent macroeconomic softness continued to pressure hiring demand, prompting cost-cutting actions. During the quarter, we initiated positions in Tate & Lyle ( TATYF ), B&M European Value Retail ( BMRRY ), United Utilities ( UUGRY ), and Pennon Group ( PEGRF ). Food ingredient specialist Tate & Lyle has recently underperformed, pressured by the poorly received acquisition of CP Kelco and soft profitability among its customer base. However, we anticipate a turnaround driven by a cyclical recovery in demand and continued growth in its health-focused ingredients portfolio. B&M European Value Retail, a leading UK discounter, has been weighed down by a leadership transition and operational hurdles, though its value proposition remains intact, and we expect a renewed focus on retail fundamentals to restore profitability.

【有線新聞】首位港產太空人黎家盈參與國家航天任務，科技創新界議員邱達根希望爭取更多長期的國家航天項目讓香港參與，工業界的黃永威就認為香港可發揮金融優勢，為航天項目融資。 香港首位太空人黎家盈擔任載荷專家，跟隨神舟二十三號升空，將操作香港科大牽頭研製的「天韻相機」。香港航天科技產業聯盟主席、科技創新界議員邱達根說，香港現時參與中國航天項目都是一次性，希望爭取到更長期項目，「例如如果月面將來有基地，將來會有月面取得的數據，這些數據會長期傳送來地球作實驗或計算，這些長期項目我都希望能夠爭取到。火箭上游，你說研發、製造，大部份都在內地，我不覺得香港有很多專家，火箭唯一在香港適合做就是海上發射。」 工業界議員黃永威就認為除了由大學研發太空精密儀器以外，香港還有金融融資的優勢，「包括現時會有些商業化項目，你見剛剛美國馬斯克，SpaceX集資規模去到這麼大，其實這證明香港有很大商業能力，所以我們不能只等一邊的商業應用。香港這邊在融資方面，一些可能射上太空後很多不同項目，包括環保、生物料技術，其實都可以在太空實驗室用到。這方面我覺得透過一些資金，我們可以做更多新材料。」 邱達根及黃永威都認為政府可考慮設立航天專員，統籌產業發展。

财联社5月26日讯（编辑 赵昊） 周一（5月25日），欧洲股指当天全线上涨。 截至收盘，德国DAX指数涨2.01%报25389.10点，为1月14日以来的最高收盘价；法国CAC40指数涨1.76%报8258.26点；英国股市休市一日。 德国DAX指数日线图 除欧洲三大股指以外，意大利股市也成为今天亮点之一：MIB指数收涨1.43%报50220.35点，刷新了26年前创下的纪录。年初至今，该指数累涨11.74%，有望连涨第四年。 欧洲斯托克600指数连续第六个交易日上涨，创下中东战事爆发以来的最高盘中水平；MSCI全球所有国家指数（MSCI All Country World Index）也创下历史新高。 日内早些时候，伊朗外交部发言人巴加埃表示，伊朗与美国的谈判已取得一定进展，但是否能够很快达成协议“取决于美国”。巴加埃表示，各方重点仍是推进谅解备忘录文本内容。 发稿前不久，有消息称美国与伊朗仍在就核计划相关措辞以及解除制裁问题进行磋商，这些分歧目前暂时阻碍了协议的最终敲定，但美国官员表示，双方对近期解决争端持乐观态度。 这一消息提振了风险偏好，打压国际原油持续走低。日内，布伦特原油失守94美元/桶，跌超6%。WTI原油期货价格失守90美元/桶，下跌6.9%。 SEB策略师Dana Malas表示，“很明显，FOMO因素导致了全球风险偏好出乎意料地强劲：投资者不希望在战事结束时被排除在外，而人工智能主题又继续提振股市。” FOMO（Fear of Missing Out），即“错失恐惧症”，在金融市场中指看到市场上涨他人盈利，自己未参与或仓位不足时，产生的焦虑、急躁甚至非理性跟风的情绪。 Singular Bank策略主管Roberto Scholtes Ruiz表示，“从今天的市场走势来看，最有可能出现的情况似乎已被市场基本消化。” Ruiz称，“我预计一旦达成协议，市场会出现一些‘抛售消息’的现象，在美债收益率曲线走低之前，我不会增加股票投资。”

is a senior tech and policy editor focused on online platforms and free expression. Adi has covered virtual and augmented reality, the history of computing, and more for The Verge since 2011. An exceptionally weird controversy has come back to haunt Cox Media and a pair of marketing firms, which claimed they were secretly listening to users via phones and smart devices — despite little evidence they actually could. On Thursday the Federal Trade Commission announced that Cox, MindSift, and 1010 Digital Works would pay a total of $930,000 to settle allegations that they were in fact lying about spying on people to target ads. As chronicled by Techdirt a couple of years ago, Cox publicly boasted about a system called Voice Data back in 2023, telling potential digital marketing clients they could ensure “every casual conversation between two consumers becomes a tool for you to target, retarget, and retain customers.” It compared the tech to an episode of Black Mirror and described it as a real version of the persistent, largely unsubstantiated rumor that social media companies routinely listen to users through phone microphones. Cox backpedaled and denied it was listening to conversations, but 404 Media published multiple internal pitch decks making essentially the same highly dystopian claim. At the time, there were significant doubts this was actually happening, and the FTC complaints back this up. “This service did not, in fact, listen in on consumers’ conversations or use voice data at all — nor did the service accurately place ads in customers’ desired locations,” it says in its press release. “Instead, the service the companies provided consisted of reselling — at a significant markup — email lists obtained from other data brokers.” The agency also says the companies lied about consumers having opted into this system — so even if they could spy on people, it alleges, they’d still have been breaking the law.

Key Points A special rule gives savers ages 60 to 63 a larger 401(k) catch-up. Instead of the regular $8,000 catch-up available to savers 50 and over, workers 60 to 63 can make a catch-up worth $11,250. Even if your 401(k) is in great shape, taking advantage of this super catch-up could result in big tax savings. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › One relatively easy way to save for retirement is to fund an IRA or 401(k) steadily over time. If you begin contributing to a retirement account in your 20s and do so through your 60s, you could end up with a lot of money -- even if you're only putting in a small amount every month. But some people don't start saving in an IRA or 401(k) in their 20s, or even their 30s or 40s. And so inevitably, they reach their 50s feeling like they're behind. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » That's what makes catch-up contributions so valuable. Catch-up contributions are available in both IRAs and 401(k)s, and they apply to workers ages 50 and over. You don't have to be "behind" on savings to make catch-up contributions. It's not as though they're only available to people whose balances are below a certain threshold. Rather, once you turn 50, you can put that extra money into your retirement plan and enjoy a tax break along the way. But while anyone 50 and over can benefit from catch-up contributions, there's a special 401(k) catch-up available this year for savers between the specific ages of 60 and 63. And it's an option you may want to take advantage of. How the 401(k) super catch-up works Workers 50 and over are allowed to put an extra $8,000 into their 401(k)s this year. But if you're between the ages of 60 and 63, instead of that $8,000 catch-up, you can make a catch-up contribution of $11,250. That brings your tot...

Artificial intelligence isn't just a tech story. It's an electricity story, too. Wall Street increasingly believes that the build-out of AI data centers could drive one of the largest expansions in power demand in decades. According to Goldman Sachs, as hyperscalers race to build the infrastructure needed to operate increasingly complex AI models, global data center power demand could rise roughly 160% by 2030. Meanwhile, U.S. electricity demand from data centers alone may nearly triple during that period. Our power grids were not built for this kind of demand growth. Large AI data centers consume enormous amounts of electricity. Some hyperscale campuses are now being designed to consume hundreds of megawatts of electricity, putting their power needs on par with those of medium-sized cities. That is one reason some utility and power infrastructure stocks have been doing so well. Perhaps the most important one for investors to pay attention to is Constellation Energy (CEG +2.98%). Nuclear plus renewables for the win Constellation is currently the largest producer of nuclear energy in the U.S., operating a fleet of nuclear reactors capable of supplying stable baseload electricity around the clock. The company also operates renewable energy and power management operations, including wind, solar, and hydroelectric power, as well as energy optimization services. That combination isn't trivial. AI data centers increasingly require both reliable 24/7 electricity generation and broader grid flexibility to handle waxing and waning power demand. Nuclear plants can provide stable baseload electricity, while renewable energy sources paired with battery storage and grid-management systems are becoming increasingly important for balancing peak demand and stabilizing aging power grids. In other words, Constellation is not simply a nuclear story. However, nuclear energy is becoming central to the AI infrastructure discussion. Microsoft recently signed a long-term commercial power a...

Temperatures hit record highs for May in the United Kingdom and France on Monday, as forecasters warned of a prolonged period of extreme heat across Europe throughout the week. A so-called heat dome of warm air from northern Africa trapped under a high-pressure system over western Europe is behind the high temperatures not usually seen until high summer. Temperatures in Spain were expected to peak later this week at 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit), while parts of Italy imposed restrictions on working outdoors. Advertisement “The weather here, it’s like a mini version of hell. It’s boiling. It’s like really hot,” said 10-year-old Liza Nizari on a visit to London, where temperatures normally average about 17 degrees or 18 degrees at this time of year. Lindy Brand-Daloze, a 66-year-old Australian administrator who has been living in London for 12 years, said: “It’s warm, but it’s climate change, isn’t it? So, you know, [we have] probably got to get used to this.” Advertisement The Met Office weather agency said Monday was the hottest May day on record, with the mercury rising to 33.5 degrees at Heathrow, west of the capital, at 1pm – 1.3 degrees more than the previous benchmark recorded in 1922 and 1944.

Key Points The VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF breaks from the pack. It offers exposure to the hot memory semiconductor theme. The fund is a solid idea for investors seeking broad pick-and-shovel exposure. 10 stocks we like better than VistaShares Artificial Intelligence Supercycle ETF › Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the driving forces behind the S&P 500's roughly 80% five-year gain, and enthusiasm remains high. Issuers of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are meeting demand for broad exposure, packing AI stocks into various easy-to-own funds. That's led to growth in the dedicated AI ETF universe.Yet, even with all the success of large-cap AI equities, dedicated AI ETFs as a group aren't as large as many investors may believe. This corner of the ETF market holds just $49 billion in assets under management.

Elon Musk's company, SpaceX, will soon go public, with June 12 being the projected day that it will begin trading on the Nasdaq. The initial public offering (IPO) is the most anticipated one in recent years, and investors have been eagerly looking for ways to gain exposure even before it begins trading.
