Dear Readers,

Have a great start to the week! It's off to an extremely exciting start.

Yann Lecun has made some verbal gaffes against Dario Amodei that leave many questions unanswered. OpenAI, on the other hand, has been ordered by a court to store all chat histories and not to delete them. It remains to be seen how this will affect the company's image.

ChatGPT saves all conversations

The TLDR
OpenAI is appealing a court order forcing it to retain all ChatGPT conversations indefinitely, including deleted ones, amid a legal clash with the New York Times. The case raises major questions about data privacy, legal rights, and whether AI tools deserve the same confidentiality protections as doctors or lawyers.

OpenAI is currently fighting a court order requiring it to store indefinitely all ChatGPT histories, even those previously deleted. The background to this is the copyright dispute with the New York Times. The order was issued in May, and OpenAI is now appealing, invoking “AI privilege” – the right to confidentiality, analogous to professional secrecy in medicine or law.

COO Brad Lightcap explains that the demand is an “excessive measure” that violates user privacy and established data protection standards. OpenAI emphasizes that deleted chats are normally removed after 30 days, but the order suspends this practice—except for Enterprise, Edu, and Zero Data Retention accounts. Data access is strictly regulated: only a small, vetted group of legal and security teams are allowed to access it.

This scenario represents a fundamental conflict: data protection vs. judicial preservation of evidence. What security systems are needed to ensure that trust in AI does not become an illusion?

The legal debate continues – and it is highly political, technical, and social. How can we establish a new digital confidentiality privilege that is as strong as the well-established medical privilege?

Why it matters: The case will determine the future balance between privacy in digital dialogues and legal access. It could set the standard for how personal AI interactions will be protected or usable in the future.

Graph of the Day

Technology replaces more human labor than it creates—and systematically shifts economic value away from labor and toward capital.

Despite all the promises, technology does not create new jobs in the macroeconomic sense in the long term. While productivity is rising, the share of labor in income is falling – in the US from over 64% in the post-war decades to below 58% since the 2010s. A similar trend can be seen globally. The causes are technological automation, globalization, and the political retreat from collective labor rights. Today, profits flow to capital, software, and intellectual property—not to the people who once formed the backbone of industrial society. Contemporary capitalism no longer needs people across the board, but only selectively.

Why Wall Street’s Dr. Doom now wants to be Dr. Boom

Nouriel Roubini, once a prophet of the financial crisis, has radically revised his stance: he now expects US growth of 4% by 2030, driven by AI investments and advances in fusion energy. The paradigm shift reflects the potential of AI as a productivity driver. For investors, this means a revaluation of structurally strong growth sectors, while central banks will need to readjust their interest rate and fiscal policies.

BoE rate‑setter says AI can help predict inflation

Megan Greene of the Bank of England positions AI as central to improved inflation forecasts and communication strategies. The innovation allows for more precise, data-driven mapping of macroeconomic trends – a potential turning point for monetary policy tools. Central banks could use it to manage interest rate cycles more efficiently, which could have a significant impact on bond markets and real interest rate forecasts for companies and investors.

Barbarians flee the floodgates

Cohere raises over $500 million for the AI battle against OpenAI/Google. At the same time, KKR is now investing with billion-dollar fund strategies, while AQR is returning to quantization with ML. This shows that AI is increasingly permeating financing and asset management models. For investors, this signals that artificial intelligence is becoming a driving force in capital flows, market structure, skimming, and risk allocation.
