Oracle's Force Majeure
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Oracle Corp. is moving to shield itself from racking up expenses on a massive data center being built in New Mexico, adding a fresh wrinkle to a project beset by opposition and regulatory setbacks. The technology giant sent the project’s developer, a unit of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a notice citing force majeure, according to people familiar with the situation. Rather than trying to walk away as the site’s main tenant, Oracle is attempting to put off payments should the data center dubbed Project Jupiter get derailed and fail to come online in 2028 as planned, the people said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters. Companies typically invoke force majeure to free themselves from contractual obligations when problems arise beyond their control. In this case, Oracle is seeking to assert its contractual position if the build-out is delayed. For a closer look, we speak with Anurag Rana, Senior Tech Analyst for Bloomberg Intelligence.

Trump Meets Xi in Washington as Domestic Woes Grow
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF President Donald Trump welcomes China's Xi Jinping to Washington today for a state visit that looks more focused on pageantry than policy, with low expectations for breakthroughs on long-standing feuds. The summit will bring together a robust gathering of US corporate leaders, but no comparable delegation from China, raising questions about the prospects of even any new business. One area Trump and Xi may find common ground is AI safety. While Silicon Valley debates the possibility of the technology wiping out humanity, Washington and Beijing have signaled no intention to slow down development. Meanwhile, energy risks and related inflationary impacts tied to conflict in the Middle East continue to weigh on global economies. On today's episode: Heidi Crebo-Rediker, Senior Fellow for Geoeconomics at the Council on Foreign Relations Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez Kyle Stock, Bloomberg News Senior Correspondent Mark Gurman, Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trump Addresses Iran Meeting, AI Worries at United Nations
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF President Trump said US officials had a “very good” meeting with Iranian representatives, a rare direct encounter that offers a fresh opportunity to restart talks to end the nearly seven-month war. Trump didn’t provide details on who participated in the meeting, but referred to his special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, who sat alongside the president. The US administration has signaled a renewed effort to end the war in the Middle East, with Trump claiming the conflict will end just after the November US midterm elections, if not before. Earlier on Tuesday in his UN address, Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran if its officials don’t strike a deal. Meantime, President Trump dismissed calls for an international agreement to put guardrails around the development of artificial intelligence, brushing off concerns about the dangers of frontier models going rogue.

Oil Drops Ahead of UN Meetings; Networks Sue Over White House Press Ban
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Oil fell below $100, heading for its longest run of declines since June, as robust flows through the Strait of Hormuz and diplomacy around the US-Iran war tamed a recent rally. Satellite data showed that Saudi Arabia’s observed oil loadings from inside the Persian Gulf jumped over the weekend, with the highest number of ships seen at the nation’s main Persian Gulf port since June. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump told Fox News he would “probably” be open to meeting his Iranian counterpart, Masoud Pezeshkian, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York this week. Trump will also hold a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, and may meet leaders of Persian Gulf nations. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, for its part, said it has prepared itself for a protracted war, state media reported. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Forget Billionaires - America Runs on Millionaires
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF Billionaires are difficult to ignore these days — flying into space, funding election campaigns, promoting AI, warning about AI and generally making a racket on social media. One billionaire sits in the Oval Office, while others control the world’s large language models and internet algorithms, including the choice of just how addictive our devices should be. A new book, The Everywhere Millionaire: Who Is Really Rich in America and How They Got There, tries to uncover much more about this somewhat hidden slice of America’s upper crust. Sifting through the available evidence, economists Owen Zidar and Eric Zwick argue we’re getting distracted by the loudest and richest billionaires and missing the much more numerous “Main Street millionaires” who are the real sources of wealth and power in America. We speak with the book's authors Owen Zidar, Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at Princeton University, and Eric Zwick, Associate Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago School of Business.

OpenAI Reports New AI Safety Incidents, Sets Disclosure Plan
The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF OpenAI shared several undisclosed incidents of its AI models misbehaving and unveiled a new framework for tracking and disclosing such occurrences going forward. Some of the previously unreported instances included OpenAI’s technologies concealing and fabricating information in order to return results, the company said in a blog post Wednesday. The ChatGPT maker has faced increased scrutiny since saying in July that some of its most advanced AI models had breached the systems of an external software company, Hugging Face. None of the newly disclosed misalignment incidents involved a hack or breach of a third party, OpenAI said in a separate statement. In the report, OpenAI detailed various instances of its artificial intelligence models misbehaving in order to complete a task or succeed at an evaluation. Some examples included the models fabricating missing data, attempting to bypass network restrictions and AI agents sharing files with each other that they were supposed to keep private.
