The shift coincides with executive turnover at OpenAI (Brad Lightcap's departure) and Meta's public AI manifesto, all set against continued heavy AI infrastructure capital expenditure and finance-sector moves (e.g., Wall Street paying for algorithmic edges on social signals) that underscore AI's deepening entanglement with capital markets.

He said he was very confident because he was protected by God, by Venezuelan people, and by the armed force. The National Guard is one of the four components of the Venezuelan Armed Force. The National Guard protects the borders from smugglers, and are in charge of public safety during political demonstrations and rallies, as those which took place in April 2017. During the Presidential TV broadcasting after the attack, the President said he is now more decided than ever to go ahead with the Bolivarian Revolution.
