Joaquin Corbalan/iStock via Getty Images Lynas Rare Earths ( LYSCF ) ( LYSDY ) down 3.2% in Friday's trading after saying it appointed current COO Pol Le Roux as interim CEO from June 30, succeeding Amanda Lacaze, who is retiring from the leadership role after 12 years. Since joining Lynas ( LYSCF ) ( LYSDY ) in 2010, a few years before Lacaze, Le Roux has held positions as VP of sales and marketing as well as VP of downstream operations, after previously serving at French chemicals company Rhône-Poulenc, which is now a part of Belgium-based Solvay. "Pol has over 20 years of experience in the rare earths industry and is recognized among our customers, investors, and industry for his extensive knowledge of Lynas' operations and the rare earths market," Lynas ( LYSCF ) ( LYSDY ) Chair John Humphrey said. The appointment of an interim CEO highlights the complexity of the role, which requires "not only operational and strategic capability but also strong stakeholder management amid heightened geopolitical dynamics," Macquarie analysts said in a note. The bank called Le Roux a pair of "safe hands operationally," as one of Lynas' ( LYSCF ) ( LYSDY ) most experienced executives, but the appointment of a permanent CEO will nevertheless be a near-term focus for investors, alongside the ramp-up of the Kalgoorlie plant.

Wall Street’s major market averages moved lower on Friday as traders assessed May's labor report, while tech continued to be under pressure. The blue chip Dow ( DJI ) was -0.2%, the benchmark S&P 500 ( SP500 ) was -1%, and the tech focused Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) was -1.8%. From a sector-by-sector perspective, five of the 11 S&P segments were in the green, with consumer staples leading the way. At the other end of the spectrum, info tech has struggled the most. On the economic front, nonfarm payrolls soared past consensus in May, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.3%. “Friday's jobs report was much stronger-than-expected and shows that the labor market is turning a corner after a rough past 12 months driven by fears of AI and uncertainty over geopolitics and tariffs. The revival of the labor market makes the Federal Reserve's job easier and allows it to keep rates steady in the meantime as it assesses the volatile inflation situation,” Glen Smith, chief investment officer, GDS Wealth Management stated. U.S. Treasury yields pushed higher across the curve. The U.S. 2 Year Treasury yield ( US2Y ) moved up 10 basis points to 4.15%. At the same time, the U.S. 10 Year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) moved higher by 6 basis points to 4.54%, and the U.S. 30 Year Treasury yield ( US30Y ) climbed by 3 basis points to 5.01%. As for stocks that were on the move, shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill ( CMG ) advanced by 5%, while shares of Arm Holdings ( ARM ) fell 8.7%.

OpenAI’s ( OPENAI ) next model is being designed by another model in a sign that AI is reaching "super intelligence," said SoftBank ( SFTBF ) ( SFTBY ) CEO Masayoshi Son in an interview with CNBC.

OpenAI’s ( OPENAI ) next model is being designed by another model in a sign that AI is reaching "super intelligence," said SoftBank ( SFTBF ) ( SFTBY ) CEO Masayoshi Son in an interview with CNBC. Son's comments come on the heels of OpenAI ( OPENAI ) rival Anthropic ( ANTHRO ) warning that AI development may need to be slowed down to deal with the implications of the rapid pace of improvement. However, Anthropic also noted that AI developers with nefarious intentions would not likely stall their efforts, and a nuclear peace treaty-type commitment would be required to keep the genie in the bottle. In an interview with CNBC on Monday, Son said he had spoken to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and engineers at the company, who told him that an AI "model is designing" a future model. "So that’s going to happen to all the other major models," said Son, adding that engineers will no longer be smart enough to design the next model. "So once that happens, [the] model generates [the] next model ... and it’s going to be exponentially smarter than all of us. That’s a super intelligence," said Son. SoftBank is one of OpenAI’s top shareholders. OpenAI did not immediately respond to Seeking Alpha's request for comment. An OpenAI spokesperson declined to comment to CNBC on unreleased models but highlighted areas where the company was already using AI in model development. In February, OpenAI said its GPT‑5.3‑Codex is its "first model that was instrumental in creating itself." The Codex team used early versions to debug its own training, manage its own deployment, and diagnose test results and evaluations — "our team was blown away by how much Codex was able to accelerate its own development." On Thursday, Marina Favaro, head of The Anthropic Institute, and Jack Clark, a co-founder of Anthropic, said in a blog post that evidence suggests that the human role is narrowing at each step in the AI development process. "Once human- and AI-authored code quality reach parity, humans will stop writing...
