Beating AI News Flash: Per a report from AXIOS, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says the current era is witnessing the "revenge of creative people"—aspiring entrepreneurs who once had promising startup ideas but lacked the technical skills to execute them. He cited an example: "I have a great song idea, I just need the guy with the guitar to bring it to life." "I used to think that was ridiculous," Altman stated in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. "But now we’re seeing an entire generation iterate on ideas at an unprecedented pace. The economic logic of starting small or large businesses has been redefined." Polls show most Americans believe AI’s risks outweigh its benefits, and data center issues have emerged as a bipartisan flashpoint in the midterm elections. Altman, who is pushing for AI adoption amid strong public opposition, aims to remind Americans that alongside real risks, AI also brings opportunities. "This will be the best time in the world to launch a startup," Altman said recently. Altman added that with OpenAI’s powerful new model GPT-6 Astra, anyone can effectively start and run a small business... Anyone who wants to own a company now has access to genius-level talent in every professional field.

According to a Financial Times report, an attack targeted Saudi Aramco’s oil facilities in Jazan, just one month after a separate attack temporarily shut down part of the refinery’s production capacity. Two sources familiar with the matter said the company’s oil infrastructure was attacked on Monday, and it is currently assessing the damage. Jazan is Saudi Arabia’s industrial city closest to the Yemeni border, and has repeatedly been targeted by Houthi attacks in the past. Saudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser noted last month that the attack had caused partial oil production disruptions but no material impact on operations or finances. One of the sources added that the latest attack was of a similar scale to last month’s incident. In reaction, WTI crude oil rose $0.59 per barrel within five minutes to $92.22, while Brent crude climbed $0.62 per barrel in the same period to $95.86.

According to a report by The Times, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has held consultations with multiple trading platforms regarding a potential relaxation of the ban on retail investor access to financial prediction markets implemented in 2019. Previously, the FCA classified prediction contracts linked to financial and certain weather events as binary options, banning their sale to retail investors starting in 2019. However, as UK consumers increasingly turn to overseas platforms such as Kalshi and Polymarket, the regulator is now considering easing the restrictions, though its public stance still supports maintaining the ban.
