Palantir exec calls LLMs a 'jagged intelligence' and outlines the company's next steps in the AI race
A Palantir exec had some strong words for Large Language Models. The Denver-based AI software company reported its first-ever billion-dollar quarter in Monday's Q2 earnings report, and the executives opened the investors call with comments on LLMs and how it plans to win the AI race. " LLMs, on their own, are at best a jagged intelligence divorced from even basic understanding," Ryan Taylor, the company's chief revenue officer and chief legal officer, told shareholders on the earnings call. "In one moment, they may appear to outperform humans in some problem-solving task, but in the next, they make catastrophic errors no human would ever make." "By contrast, our ontology is pure understanding concretized in software. This is reality, not rhetoric," Taylor added, referring to a company approach to AI that is based on using logic and data to recreate a digital model of how an organization works. These comments came after the company smashed analyst expectations and nearly doubled its commercial revenue in the US since last year's second quarter to $628 million, mostly thanks to a 10-year, $10 billion consolidated contract with the US Army. Company executives also outlined how it plans to win the AI race and what kind of talent would thrive at Palantir. Shyam Sankar, chief technology officer, told investors that the Trump administration's new AI Action Plan, which promotes the deregulation of AI, has taken "all the brakes off" and that industry customers are "really excited to get to work." These comments are in response to a Bank of America analyst, who asked how Palantir plans to win the AI race both in innovation and in talent retention. "If you are a highly talented person and would believe that the West is superior or at least tolerant of me telling you it every day, you'll not find a place anywhere I've seen — and now over 20 years I've interacted with almost every agency in the West, many of the largest companies, many of the smaller companies — that is comparable on time of joining to full agency like Palantir," Karp said toward the end of the call. "If you come to Palantir, your career is set," he added.

Trump's praise for Sweeney ad sends American Eagle stock surging
American Eagle Outfitters saw its stock price surge more than 20% on Monday, after President Trump praised the retailer's controversial marketing campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney on his Truth Social platform. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump wrote Monday morning, sparking the rally in shares that began after markets opened. The president's endorsement comes amid a firestorm of criticism over the campaign. The controversy centers on a promotional video featuring Sweeney that was posted to American Eagle's social media channels. The video has since been removed. In the teaser, the 'Euphoria' actress discusses hereditary traits in a sultry voice, stating: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' As she speaks, the video shows Sweeney zipping up her jeans before the camera pans up her body and focuses on her face and blue eyes, framed by blonde hair. The visual emphasis on Sweeney's features prompted backlash from critics on the internet who were quick to accuse the ad of promoting eugenics and aligning with white nationalist messaging. Pittsburgh-based American Eagle defended the campaign in a statement it posted to Instagram last Friday, saying it 'is and always was about the jeans.' Trump used the opportunity to criticize what he called 'woke' advertising, citing examples like Jaguar's recent rebrand and Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in 2023. 'The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST,' he wrote, contrasting those campaigns with American Eagle's approach. The stock surge represents the latest chapter in what has become a meme-driven rally for American Eagle, which initially jumped last month when retail traders piled into the stock following the campaign's debut. American Eagle has faced significant financial challenges in recent months. In May, the retailer withdrew its full-year guidance and announced a $75-million write-off of spring and summer merchandise due to slow sales, steep discounting and difficult market conditions. The company reported a first-quarter net revenue of $1.1 billion, down 5% from the prior year, with comparable sales falling 3%. Several prominent Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance and Sen. Ted Cruz, have also defended Sweeney and the campaign against criticism. The actress herself has not publicly addressed the controversy surrounding the advertisements. American Eagle shares closed at $13.28 on Monday, up 24%.

MLB rumors: Astros, Phillies targeting potential Cardinals fire sale
The post MLB rumors: Astros, Phillies targeting potential Cardinals fire sale appeared first on ClutchPoints. The St. Louis Cardinals are on the verge of making seismic roster decisions as the MLB trade deadline looms, with both the Astros and Phillies reportedly circling key young players. Among those garnering interest is outfielder Lars Nootbaar, per multiple industry insiders. USA Today's Bob Nightengale confirms that both Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies have inquired about Lars Nootbaar. They've also expressed interest in Alec Burleson and utility standout Brendan Donovan. Despite being a fan favorite under team control through 2027, Nootbaar is enduring a down year. His .712 OPS and lowest wRC+ of his career raise questions about his long term outlook. Even so, his contract, plate discipline, and track record continue to attract strong interest in a tough outfield market. Houston, in particular, is seeking a left handed bat to bolster its lineup, and Nootbaar fits that profile. The Astros have pursued controllable bats previously and see Nootbaar as a potential rotation piece or outfield upgrade. Meanwhile, the Phillies, looking to realign their outfield, view St. Louis' willingness to trade controllable assets as fertile ground for a deal. St. Louis' broader strategy appears to focus first on moving pitching assets. Phil Maton, and Steven Matz are among the names expected to be dealt before they entertain offers for position players. Ryan Helsley has already been traded to the Mets. Still, insiders suggest the Cardinals are 'wide open for business.' They would be open to hearing 'check-in' offers on Donovan and Nootbaar, as long as they're blown-away packages. Lars Nootbaar's injury status adds complexity. A rib issue sidelined him on July 12. He has now begun a minor league rehab assignment and could return before the deadline if healthy. That juncture could accelerate discussions if teams believe he's trending back toward form before cutoff. With contenders like the Astros and Phillies pushing right down to the wire, a Cardinals fire sale, including a Lars Nootbaar deal, remains squarely on the table. The next few hours until the MLB Trade deadline could reshape several postseason rosters.
