OpenAI employees eye $6B stock sale with SoftBank, Thrive in talks

SAN FRANCISCO, California: Current and former staff at OpenAI are preparing to sell nearly US$6 billion worth of shares in a secondary offering that could lift the company's valuation to $500 billion, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters. Investors, including SoftBank Group, Thrive Capital, and Dragoneer Investment Group, are in discussions to participate. The deal, still at an early stage, would mark a sharp jump from OpenAI's current $300 billion valuation and underscores the company's explosive growth and the competition in artificial intelligence to secure talent and capital. Bloomberg News first reported the talks, noting that the final size of the sale could change. SoftBank, Thrive, and Dragoneer — all existing OpenAI investors — did not respond to requests for comment. The potential sale comes as SoftBank is already leading OpenAI's $40 billion primary funding round. A secondary offering would provide liquidity to employees while strengthening investor positions in one of the sector's most closely watched firms. OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, has seen its business accelerate dramatically thanks to its flagship ChatGPT product. The company doubled revenue in the first seven months of the year, hitting an annualized run rate of $12 billion, Reuters reported earlier in August, and is expected to reach $20 billion by year's end. Its user base has also surged: ChatGPT now has about 700 million weekly active users, up from roughly 400 million in February.

Canadian dollar to weaken against global markets, currency expert predicts

Sorry, we're having trouble with this video. Please try again later. [5006/404] A foreign exchange expert made a bearish call for the Canadian dollar on Monday, anticipating the loonie will hover around 70 cents against the U.S. dollar as other currencies strengthen. Dan Tobon, head of G10 FX Strategy at Citi Research says he doesn't expect a major collapse in the Canadian dollar, but says a correlation with the U.S. economy, potential for deeper Bank of Canada rate cuts and a removal of positive hedge ratio adjustments will impact it. 'We're not structurally bearish in the dollar, but certainly the next few months could still see some weaker dollars,' Tobon told BNN Bloomberg in an interview. 'It's going to be hard for the Canadian dollar independently to sell off. More likely what will happen is it'll be both the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar underperforming everything else.' On Monday afternoon, the Canadian dollar was trading at around 72 cents per one American dollar. Tobon said a soft patch in U.S. labour market data can weigh on the Canadian dollar due to a close relationship between both economies. He noted that Canadian investors have been buying back Canadian dollars as they hedge their U.S. asset exposure, which has supported the currency and said this flow appears to be running out, removing a key source of support for the loonie. 'If you're Canadian and you buy a U.S. asset, you have to sell your Canadian dollars to buy U.S. dollars to buy that asset,' said Tobon. 'Historically, most investors are actually happy to maintain that, because historically, when equity markets go down, the dollar tends to perform well. It's almost like a built-in hedge.' 'The other thing too is U.S. rates tend to be higher, so you're actually earning some carry. This used to be a great scenario. I can buy U.S. equities, I have the dollar exposure where I'm actually earning a little carry, and it's a hedge. In case of risk off. Things have changed a lot this year, and as we saw back in April, we saw the correlation flip, where we saw risk off, but with that risk off, a weaker dollar and higher U.S. Treasury yields. What started happening is this belief that maybe the dollar isn't the hedge that it always was.' He said markets are currently pricing only one more cut from the Bank of Canada over the next year but sees scope for more aggressive cuts than expected. Despite sticky inflation, weakness in other parts of the Canadian economy could lead to deeper rate cuts as inflation normalizes amid the Canada-U.S. trade war. 'We saw a huge amount of Canadian dollar buying by a lot of the Canadian pensions in the first half of the year, especially after April,' said Tobon. 'They weren't necessarily de-risking their U.S. exposure, they were just de-risking their dollar exposure, but that effectively meant they were buying a lot of Canadian dollars over the last couple months.' Loonie against global currencies While some weaknesses against the U.S. dollar is expected, Tobon sees broader Canadian dollar weakness against the European Union's euro, Japanese yen, and other currencies as a bigger concern. One Canadian dollar is trading at around 0.62 Euros and 107 Japanese Yen. 'It's very hard to get a situation where the Canadian dollar is weakening significantly, but maybe the Euro and Australian dollar and these other currencies are strengthening significantly,' said Tobon. 'The betas effectively make the adjustment. Maybe we can get down towards US$70. That's not a monster move from here, but it's something that's definitely notable. The bigger issue is, then, are we going to get broader Canadian weakness against the euro, against the yen, against these other currencies?'

Conservative network Newsmax agrees to pay US$67M in defamation case over bogus 2020 election claims

(AP Photo/Seth Wenig, File) DENVER — The conservative network Newsmax will pay US$67 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of defaming a voting equipment company by spreading lies about President Donald Trump's 2020 election loss, according to documents filed Monday. The settlement comes after Fox News Channel paid $787.5 million to settle a similar lawsuit in 2023 and Newsmax paid what court papers describe as $40 million to settle a libel lawsuit from a different voting machine manufacturer, Smartmatic, which also was a target of pro-Trump conspiracy theories on the network. Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis had ruled earlier that Newsmax did indeed defame Denver-based Dominion Voting Systems by airing false information about the company and its equipment. But Davis left it to a jury to eventually decide whether that was done with malice, and, if so, how much Dominion deserved from Newsmax in damages. Newsmax and Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place. The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It said the deal was reached Friday. A spokesperson for Dominion said the company was pleased to have settled the lawsuit. The disclosure came as Trump, who lost his 2020 reelection bid to Democrat Joe Biden, vowed in a social media post Monday to eliminate mail-in ballots and voting machines such as those supplied by Dominion and other companies. It was unclear how the Republican president could achieve that. The same judge also handled the Dominion-Fox News case and made a similar ruling that the network repeated numerous lies by Trump's allies about his 2020 loss despite internal communications showing Fox officials knew the claims were bogus. At the time, Davis found it was 'CRYSTAL clear' that none of the allegations was true. Internal correspondence from Newsmax officials likewise shows they knew the claims were baseless. 'How long are we going to play along with election fraud?' Newsmax host Bob Sellers said two days after the 2020 election was called for Biden, according to internal documents revealed as part of the case. Newsmax took pride that it was not calling the election for Biden and, the internal documents show, saw a business opportunity in catering to viewers who believed Trump won. Private communications that surfaced as part of Dominion's earlier defamation case against Fox News also revealed how the network's business interests intersected with decisions it made related to coverage of Trump's 2020 election claims. At Newsmax, employees repeatedly warned against false allegations from pro-Trump guests such as attorney Sidney Powell, according to documents in the lawsuit. In one text, even Newsmax owner Chris Ruddy, a Trump ally, said he found it 'scary' that Trump was meeting with Powell. Dominion was at the heart of many of the wild claims aired by guests on Newsmax and elsewhere, who promoted a conspiracy theory involving deceased Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez to rig the machines for Biden. Though Trump has insisted his fraud claims are real, there's no evidence they were, and the lawsuits in the Fox and Newsmax cases show how some of the president's biggest supporters knew they were false at the time. Trump's then-attorney general, William Barr, said there was no evidence of widespread fraud. Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits alleging fraud, some before Trump-appointed judges. Numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results, including some run by Republicans, turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error and affirmed Biden's win. After returning to office, Trump pardoned those who tried to halt the transfer of power during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and directed his Department of Justice to investigate Chris Krebs, a former Trump cybersecurity appointee who had vouched for the security and accuracy of the 2020 election. As an initial trial date approached in the Dominion case earlier this year, Trump issued an executive order attacking the law firm that litigated it and the Fox case, Susman Godfrey. The order, part of a series targeting law firms Trump has tussled with, cited Susman Godfrey's work on elections and said the government would not do business with any of its clients or permit any of its staff in federal buildings. A federal judge put that action on hold, saying the framers would view it as 'a shocking abuse of power. ' Nicholas Riccardi, The Associated Press
