    A top US bank regulator opted not to consider new policies that would have imposed stricter oversight on asset managers with sizeable investments in banks like Blackrock and Vanguard, even as agency officials agreed the matter merited more attention. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation postponed votes on two competing plans that would have given the agency more power to scrutinize asset managers after it was clear neither had the majority backing of the five-member board. "If these fund complexes are using their purportedly passive investment funds to push social policy, to influence bank policy, there's a real significant issue here," said FDIC board member Jonathan McKernan at the agency's public board meeting on Thursday.

  • Exclusive-ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say

    TikTok owner ByteDance would prefer shutting down its loss-making app rather than sell it if the Chinese company exhausts all legal options to fight legislation to ban the platform from app stores in the U.S., four sources said. The algorithms TikTok relies on for its operations are deemed core to ByteDance overall operations, which would make a sale of the app with algorithms highly unlikely, said the sources close to the parent. TikTok accounts for a small share of ByteDance's total revenues and daily active users, so the parent would rather have the app shut down in the U.S. in a worst case scenario than sell it to a potential American buyer, they said.

  • Gen AI has real sustainability issues: Early Facebook investor

    Meta Platforms (META) is all in on generative AI with some on Wall Street believing its executions in artificial intelligence deployments are out-performing peers in the tech space. While reporting a first-quarter earnings beat on the top and bottom line yesterday, Meta's stock has been dragged lower into Thursday's session on the tech giant's disappointing second-quarter outlook. On Meta's earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerberg believed there's "a clear monetizable opportunity" for up-scalings on AI even though investors fear it will detract from Meta's core business component: its digital advertising. Elevation Partners Co-Founder Roger McNamee — who was an early Meta investor when it originally operated as Facebook — sits down with Yahoo Finance to weigh in on Meta's new AI direction and shares his criticisms on Big Tech's early generative AI adoption before working out the kinks. "If you believe that generative AI is real, then these investments may well work. The challenge that we have here is that this is a classic example of a product category where the demos are mind-bending, but the reality is something far less than that," McNamee explains. "And I think that we have seen consistently in use case after use case that the actual performance in the field has real issues, and the industry itself is trying to pretend like it's not a problem, that the amount of electrical power it requires is greater than the largest states in the country, that it needs more water than a small country.
