    Analysts warn AI spending drags down tech stock cash flow, US stock pullback may not be over

    Cailianshe reports that last week the Nasdaq Composite fell about 2% for the full week and 5.3% cumulatively in October, its worst monthly performance since March 2025, while the S&P 500 technology sector fell 4.24% in a single day last Friday. Truist chief market strategist Keith Lerner noted that since 2023 the S&P 500 technology sector has seen six pullbacks of 10% or more, four of which ranged from 14% to 27%, and he believes this time will be no exception. Alphabet's third-quarter free cash flow swung from about $24.461 billion in the year-earlier period to negative $9.065 billion; Amazon likewise posted negative free cash flow, and Meta turned negative for the first time since 2012, but all of these companies said they will maintain or even increase AI spending.

    Foxconn's AI server capacity for the next 18 months is fully booked

    Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said in an interview with CNBC that the company's AI server capacity for at least the next year and a half has been fully booked. It plans to raise its global AI server market share from about 40% currently to around 45% next year, and to reach 50% within the next few years. In the second quarter of this year, the cloud and networking products division, which includes AI servers, already accounted for 51% of Foxconn's revenue, surpassing 50% for the first time. Liu also disclosed that he has met with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman to discuss cooperation, and said Foxconn is accelerating its U.S. manufacturing footprint, but stressed that it will strictly control spending to avoid overinvestment.

    The Paper tests multiple AI glasses: a light-blocking sticker costing under 10 yuan can bypass the recording indicator light

    The Paper reporters tested mainstream AI glasses from Huawei, Xiaomi, Rokid, Qwen, RayNeo, INMO, Meizu and others, and found that after the indicator light was completely covered by a light-blocking sticker costing under 10 yuan, most models could still record normally without triggering a blockage alert, and only a few models could not continue recording. Such light-blocking stickers are sold openly on e-commerce platforms, with sales on one platform exceeding 5,000 units; merchants said many buyers purchase them so that covert recording is less likely to be noticed. Zhong Junhao, secretary-general of the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Industry Association, believes that existing privacy notification mechanisms are mostly ceremonial notices, and that software-layer detection is easily circumvented by physical means.

    Rumor: Google has been testing Gemini 4 Carbon on Arena under the name Argon 4 since October 31

    Reports say Google has been testing Gemini 4 Carbon on Arena under the name Argon 4 since October 31, and TestingCatalog relays that it appears to be one of the best-performing among currently announced models. The cited original post claims that Carbon-H outperforms earlier Carbon versions in coding, design and 3D, and is faster as well, with some outputs resembling Opus 5.5.

    Quoted postJust a dragon · @Waguri_Kaoruko8

    Carbon-H is being tested on Arena AI as Argon 4. It's much better than earlier Carbon builds at coding, design and 3D, and feels faster too. Some outputs look strangely similar to Opus 5.5. Google finally seems to be taking things seriously and improving its models. https://t.co/gSYdno4LeA

    In response to the EU AI Act, text generated by Grok models will carry an invisible watermark

    Starting November 7, SpaceXAI will add an invisible watermark to text generated by Grok models; detectors can identify this signal to determine whether text carries a watermark invisible to the naked eye. Officials say the move is in response to the EU Artificial Intelligence Act. The watermark has been enabled across SpaceXAI APIs in all regions worldwide, covering the reasoning, non-reasoning, and multi-agent versions of grok-4.7, grok-4.6, grok-4.5, grok-4.3, and grok-4.20, and team administrators can disable the watermark for an individual model. The watermark is not a hidden character or metadata, but is embedded in the model's token selection process when generating text.

    Exin Therapeutics Says AI Agent Performed Brain Surgery Injection on a Mouse

    Biotech startup Exin Therapeutics claimed this week that it successfully had an AI agent perform brain surgery on a mouse. The team used the Anthropic Sonnet model, providing it with a spreadsheet containing 19 gene therapy vectors, an epileptic mouse model, and a camera-equipped robotic arm setup. The model autonomously selected the drug and brain region, derived coordinates from three papers, and drove the robotic arm to inject 250 nanoliters of the drug, while using the camera to observe whether the injection site was bleeding; the craniotomy and suturing were performed by human doctors. The company had originally preferred Anthropic Opus 5.5, but that model refused to execute after detecting biology-related content, citing concerns that being cut off mid-surgery would endanger the animal.

    US Department of Justice Discloses Case of Ghost Students Using AI to Defraud Financial Aid, Confirmed Losses Exceed $32 Million

    The US Department of Justice announced the first batch of results from "Operation Ghostbuster": criminals used stolen identity information to register fake student accounts, and with the help of AI automatically filled out application materials, completed coursework, and simulated real people attending online classes, in order to continuously siphon off federal financial aid. The FBI has confirmed that related losses exceed $32 million; one defendant obtained about $1.44 million through more than 700 fraudulent refunds; the Department of Education has identified more than 830,000 suspected fraudulent aid accounts. The Department of Education introduced real-time ID verification and a risk rating mechanism this year, but the education sector is concerned that automated review may inadvertently harm real students from low-income families who lack identification documents.

    Google AI Mode cuts off search traffic, Reddit's US daily active users decline year-over-year for the first time

    In the third quarter, referral traffic to Reddit from search engines dropped significantly, with an average weekly decrease of more than 1 million referral visits in October 2026; US daily active unique visitors fell from 53.2 million to 50.7 million, down 2% year-over-year, the first such decline since its 2024 listing. CEO Steve Huffman said Google is still scraping large amounts of Reddit content, but AI Overviews and AI Mode provide answers directly on the search page and no longer direct users to the original posts. Reddit plans to shift to a login-first model, testing first in some markets outside the US in the fourth quarter of 2026, while retaining anonymous browsing.

    OpenAI discloses post-midterm election policy agenda, plans mandatory safety measures for the most powerful AI systems

    OpenAI has disclosed its policy agenda after the midterm elections, planning to push for mandatory safety safeguards, so-called "speed limits," on the most capable artificial intelligence systems, and to step up its legislative lobbying efforts in Congress. Its Chief Global Affairs Officer, Chris Lehane, said the team has been stockpiling policy proposals since August, and the relevant actions will first unfold during the congressional lame-duck session beginning on November 9. OpenAI also plans to propose community partnership agreements and state-level legislative recommendations, and to call the infrastructure it builds "AI compute campuses" to distinguish them from traditional data centers.

    Anthropic Bans Claude from Replicating Existing Games in Opus 5.5 System Prompt

    Anthropic has confirmed that it added a rule to the Opus 5.5 system prompt instructing Claude Code not to replicate specific existing games, allowing only the creation of original games or games using the user's own assets. The restriction stems from the significant lowering of the barrier to reverse engineering and game porting after the release of Opus 5.5; some users claimed to have built a playable Pokémon clone with a single prompt in under two hours. After the ban went into effect, some developers creating original games reported in GitHub issues that they had been mistakenly flagged and rejected.
