California-based EV startup Lucid Motors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>) will start taking orders from customers in the U.S. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/lucid-gravity">for its Gravity SUV</a> starting Nov. 7, the company said on Tuesday.
What Happened: Orders will initially be taken for the Grand Touring trim of the SUV starting from $94,900 which is expected to start production in late 2024. 
Production of the lower-priced Touring trim of the vehicle, starting at $79,900, will start only in late 2025, the company said. 
Existing Lucid owners will be given priority when taking delivery of the Gravity SUV, the company said.
The Gravity is expected to rival Tesla Inc.&#8217;s Model X SUV which starts at $79,990 for the base version and at $94,990 for the more premium Plaid version. The corresponding Gravity variants are priced at just $90 lower.

While the Model X is a bit car-like, the Gravity is a proper three-row SUV and is on track to become the "world's best SUV," he said.
Why It Matters: Currently, Lucid&#8217;s Air sedan, with a starting price of $69,900, is its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39743359/exclusive-as-lucid-gears-up-to-take-on-teslas-model-x-analysts-lay-out-the-problems" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">only vehicle in production</a>. The vehicle is aimed at a more premium customer base with its Grand Touring and Sapphire versions starting at $110,900 and $249,000, respectively.

Tech behemoth&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;has reportedly initiated initial manufacturing efforts for next year&#39;s entry-level iPhone model, expected to be named the&nbsp;iPhone 17. For the first time, this early-stage development is taking place in India, moving away from Apple&#39;s traditional reliance on China.
What Happened:&nbsp;The development process for the iPhone 17 is currently underway at&nbsp;Foxconn&rsquo;s&nbsp;facility in Bengaluru, according to sources cited by The Information.
Apple has never previously conducted this essential phase of iPhone development &mdash; internally known as new product introduction (NPI) outside of China. The NPI process spans from October to May and involves transitioning prototype designs into mass-producible devices and testing various materials, equipment and manufacturing techniques.
While the base iPhone 17 model, reportedly codenamed V57, is progressing in India, Apple will reportedly continue to develop the more advanced&nbsp;iPhone 17 Pro&nbsp;models and the ultra-thin&nbsp;iPhone 17 Air&nbsp;in China, where its established manufacturing expertise remains concentrated.&nbsp;
If you&rsquo;d like to be ahead&nbsp;of the curve on the Indian stock market, sign up for our Ring The Bell newsletter by&nbsp;<a href="https://share.hsforms.com/1K1H7Kd0aRhmSdDIuxTAkxg1npzh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">clicking here</a>.
Solid Start:&nbsp;The base iPhone 17 has reportedly successfully reached a preliminary production milestone known as &quot;proto-1,&quot; involving the manufacturing of thousands of units to assess build quality. Apple is assessing whether India-based engineers can create prototypes that meet the quality standards of those produced at its California headquarters.&nbsp;
Apple reportedly aims to initiate new iPhone development sooner in locations nearer to the final assembly sites, a move that could help the company reduce operational costs. Apple and Foxconn engineers, including Indian personnel, are actively participating in the testing phases, the publication reported.
If the early development phase is successful, this manufacturing model may be extended to additional facilities, including those in China.
Apple has been steadily expanding its production capabilities in India since 2017 as the company looks to cut back on its reliance on China, where risks have heightened due to escalating tensions between Beijing and Washington D.C. India now manufactures all four models of Apple&#39;s latest&nbsp;iPhone 16&nbsp;lineup, including the premium Pro versions.&nbsp;
The U.S. tech behemoth&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41592667/apples-iphone-exports-from-india-reach-50-000-cr-report" target="_blank">exported nearly $6 billion (around ₹50,448 crore) worth of iPhone</a>s manufactured in India, a 30% leap from the previous year.
Beyond manufacturing, Apple is&nbsp;<a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41509306/apple-hires-400-new-workers-for-retail-stores-as-it-looks-to-ramp-up-india-presence" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">looking to hire 400 new employees</a>&nbsp;for its upcoming stores in Bengaluru, Pune, Delhi-NCR and Mumbai.

Former Apple Inc. executive and co-creator of the iPod, Tony Fadell has expressed his disapproval of Silicon Valley&#8217;s entitlement culture and the use of large language models.
What Happened:&nbsp;On Tuesday, Fadell, who is also the founder and former CEO of Nest Labs, took the stage at TechCrunch <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/10/29/tony-fadell-on-mission-driven-aholes-silicon-valley-entitlement-and-why-llms-are-know-it-alls/">Disrupt</a> 2024.
During the conversation, he underscored the importance of &#8220;mission-driven a&#x2A;&#x2A;holes&#8221; in the development of top-tier technology products.
Drawing a distinction between egocentric and mission-driven individuals, Fadell commended the latter for their attention to detail and critique of work, not people.

The tech mogul also took a swipe at Silicon Valley&#8217;s entitlement, humorously commenting on the culture of Googlers and their work habits. He voiced his disapproval of startups hiring Googlers due to their perceived entitlement.
&#8220;We said, we will never hire people from the East Coast,&#8221; referring to his time at General Magic in the 90s, adding, &#8220;because they had to have their driver, or they had to have their company car, and they had to have their corporate lunch and their special executive toilet.&#8221;
&#8220;And now I wake up today, and Silicon Valley has turned into that s&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;, and I'm like, get me the f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A; out of here, yeah? Entitlement everywhere,&#8221; he stated.
Fadell further criticized LLMs, describing them as &#8220;know-it-alls.&#8221; He argued that while LLMs can be beneficial in certain areas like entertainment, their adoption should not be universal due to their propensity for errors.
&#8220;If you look at artificial-specific models, they work really well,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;They don't hallucinate, but LLMs are trying to be this general thing because we're trying to make science fiction happen.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Fadell&#8217;s critique of LLMs comes at a time when AI technology is increasingly being integrated into various sectors, including healthcare.
Last year, Google&#8217;s medical AI chatbot, Med-PaLM 2, began testing at the Mayo Clinic. The chatbot, a variant of the PaLM 2 language model, was specifically <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/07/33167659/googles-medical-ai-chatbot-is-being-tested-in-hospitals-to-answer-questions-summarize-documents-and">tailored for medical institutions</a>.
Despite concerns about AI hallucinations,&nbsp;a 2023 study also suggested that chatbots like OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT could be more <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/05/32159669/chatgpt-more-empathetic-than-real-doctors-says-study-amid-worries-about-hallucinations">empathetic than actual doctors</a>.
However, not all industry leaders share the same optimism about AI in healthcare.
Earlier this year in September, billionaire investor Chamath Palihapitiya expressed a more cautious view, acknowledging the potential of AI <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41038801/spac-king-chamath-palihapitiya-forecasts-how-ai-will-transform-healthcare-sector-its-not-all-roses-b">but also highlighting its limitations</a>.
&#8220;It's not all roses, but some areas if you imagine them, I'll give you a couple if you want, are just bananas, I think,&#8221; he stated at the time.

iPod Co-Creator Tony Fadell Dismisses ChatGPT Type LLMs Saying 'We're Trying To Make Science Fiction Happen' — Bashes Silicon Valley's Entitlement

Bhutan transferred millions worth of state-owned Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) to Binance after a four-month hiatus, sparking speculations of profit-taking as the top cryptocurrency surged toward all-time highs.
What Happened: On Tuesday, on-chain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence disclosed that the Bhutanese government moved a sizable portion of its stash, up to 832.249 BTC, worth $60.16 million at the current market price, to the leading cryptocurrency exchange. The last time such a transaction occurred was in July, marking a four-month gap.
After the transfer, the associated wallet was still left with 12,467 BTCs, worth $902 million.

Bitcoin Correction Incoming? Bhutan Moves BTC Worth $60M To Binance

YouTube, the video platform Google acquired for $1.65 billion in 2006, has generated $50 billion in combined advertising and subscription revenue over the past four quarters, marking a milestone in its evolution from a user-generated content site to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41615800/googles-cost-advantage-with-custom-chips-only-nvidia-tops-it-says-analyst">major streaming player</a>.
What Happened: The achievement, announced during Alphabet Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) third-quarter earnings call, reflects YouTube&#8217;s successful expansion into premium services and living room entertainment, competing directly with traditional television and streaming services.
&#8220;Together, YouTube TV, NFL Sunday Ticket and YouTube Music Premium are driving subscription growth for the platform,&#8221; said Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet Inc., Google&#8217;s parent company. &#8220;We are leaning into the living room experience with multi-view and a new option for creators to organize content into episodes and seasons, similar to traditional TV.&#8221;
The platform has secured its position as the leading streaming service in the United States, according to Nielsen data. Philipp Schindler, Google&#8217;s chief business officer, reported that creators optimizing content for television viewing are seeing significant returns, with the number of creators earning the majority of their YouTube revenue from TV screens increasing by more than 30% year-over-year.
Sports content has emerged as a key growth driver. The platform&#8217;s Olympics coverage garnered over 12 billion views, with 850 million unique viewers watching more than 40 billion minutes of content. 
Notably, 35% of Olympic content was viewed on television screens, highlighting YouTube&#8217;s successful transition to larger formats.

Why It Matters: The platform&#8217;s advertising business has also shown strong momentum, with upfront advertising commitments increasing approximately 20% year-over-year, according to Schindler.
These results contributed to Alphabet&#8217;s strong quarterly performance, with the company reporting overall revenue of $88.27 billion, a 15% increase year-over-year, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">exceeding Wall Street expectations of $86.31 billion</a>.
Looking ahead, YouTube plans to integrate Google DeepMind&#8216;s video generation model into YouTube Shorts later this year, furthering its investment in artificial intelligence and creator tools.
Price Action: Alphabet Inc Class A shares closed at $169.68 on Tuesday, up 1.78% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock rose by an additional 5.80%. Alphabet Inc Class C shares ended the day at $171.14, climbing 1.66%. After hours, the stock advanced a further 5.89%. Year to date, Alphabet Class C shares have risen by 22.63%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Google Bought YouTube For $1.65B And Now It Prints $50B In Revenue Just In 1 Year — Sundar Pichai Says Alphabet 'Leaning Into The Living Room Experience'

Shytoshi Kusama, the mysterious lead of the Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/shib/usd">SHIB</a>) ecosystem, highlighted the coin&#8217;s impressive growth since its launch and the work ahead to gain further recognition.
What Happened: On Tuesday, Kusama took to X to talk about the SHIB&#8217;s lifetime growth, which stood at a staggering 33,774,726.7% from its all-time low, higher than those of Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>), Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>), and Binance Coin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/bnb/usd">BNB</a>).
The pseudonymous personality added that this wasn&#8217;t enough and efforts were in place to further enhance the ecosystem. 
&#8220;So, don&#8217;t ignore Shib. Or do, until you can no longer,&#8221; Kusama said, pointing toward critics.

Why It Matters: Kusama&#8217;s post comes in the wake of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41615810/bitcoin-hovers-around-new-all-time-high-ethereum-dogecoin-surge-as-crypto-market-in-turbo-">a broader cryptocurrency market rally</a> that witnessed Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) come within touching distance of a new all-time high.
SHIB, the second-largest meme coin by market capitalization, has gained 83% this year, exceeding SOL&#8217;s spike of 77% but trailed behind DOGE and BNB, which were up 95% and 92%, respectively. 
The people at the helm of affairs have been making attempts at transforming Shiba Inu into a serious decentralized blockchain project.

Shytoshi Kusama Touts Shiba Inu Lifetime Gains Of 33774726%: 'We Still Have Far To Go And Much Work To Be Done'

Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) CEO Sundar Pichai avoided detailing the company&#8217;s contingency plans if its search partnership with Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) ends.
However, he cautioned that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/10/41244481/google-cries-foul-as-doj-moves-to-break-up-search-giant-calls-recommendations-radical-as-antitru">Department of Justice&#8217;s proposals</a> could lead to &#8220;unintended consequences.&#8221;
What Happened: During <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41611263/alphabet-q3-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-google-cloud-up-35-momentum-across-the-compan">Alphabet&#8217;s third-quarter earnings</a> call on Tuesday, Barclays analyst Ross Sandler questioned Google's backup plan amid the ongoing DOJ antitrust trial.
He pointed to the risk of Google losing its contract with Apple and some Android pre-install agreements if the trial doesn't go in its favor.
In response, Pichai declined to speculate on the matter due to the ongoing litigation but underscored Alphabet&#8217;s commitment to innovation and making its products easily accessible across all platforms.

&#8220;People have chosen us because they view it as the best product, be it consumers or partners. And we have a long track record of working hard to make sure our products are as easily available to users as possible across all platforms,&#8221; he stated.
The CEO also expressed concerns about the DOJ&#8217;s early proposals, stating they could have &#8220;unintended consequences&#8221; for&nbsp;the dynamic tech sector and&nbsp;American leadership in the field.
&#8220;We plan to vigorously defend these cases. And some of the early proposals from the DOJ, et cetera, have been far-reaching,&#8221; Pichai said.
Why It Matters: The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is currently engaged in significant legal actions against Google following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/08/40169996/alphabet-loses-antitrust-suit-over-google-search-dominance-report">ruling that found the tech giant guilty</a> of maintaining an unlawful monopoly in the online search market.
The DOJ is weighing proposals that could break up <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40758622/doj-probes-googles-ai-strategy-as-it-looks-to-snap-its-monopoly-in-search">Google as an antitrust remedy</a> after a court found the company abused its dominance in search for over a decade, largely through exclusive deals with Apple and Mozilla.
The DOJ is also scrutinizing Google's influence in the growing generative AI market, fearing it may use its search dominance to monopolize this space as well.
In May, during the antitrust lawsuit against Alphabet, it was disclosed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38573998/how-much-is-google-really-paying-apple-to-be-default-search-engine-on-iphones-unsealed-court-pap">Google paid Apple an astounding $20 billion</a> in 2022 to remain the default search engine on the Safari browser.
Previously, an analyst at Jeffries suggested that Google&#8217;s deal to be the default search engine on Apple iPhones is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41392474/google-deal-for-default-search-on-apple-iphones-very-likely-to-be-banned-jefferies-">&#8220;very likely&#8221; to be banned</a>.
Meanwhile, Alphabet has reported a 15% year-over-year increase in third-quarter revenue, beating Street consensus estimates.
Price Action:&nbsp;As of this writing, Alphabet&#8217;s Class A shares surged 5.80% in after-hours trading to $179.52, while Class C shares jumped 5.89% to $181.22. During the regular session, Class A shares closed at $169.68, and Class C shares at $171.14, according to<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Sundar Pichai Admits DOJ Proposals Could Have 'Unintended Consequences' — Google Mapping Out Plan B In Case Apple Ends Search Deal?

A recent survey by NuggMD, a cannabis telehealth platform, found that a majority of cannabis users intend to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-presidential-election">upcoming election. </a>
According to the poll (<a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/majority-of-marijuana-consumers-plan-to-vote-for-kamala-harris-over-donald-trump-despite-both-candidates-backing-legalization-poll-finds/">via </a>Marijuana Moment), 53% of surveyed cannabis consumers said they plan to support Harris, while 40% favor former President Donald Trump. Six percent of respondents reported being undecided.
See Also:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41557477/trump-has-an-enemies-list-i-have-a-to-do-list-says-kamala-harris-cannabis-legalization-is-on-it"> &#8216;Trump Has An Enemies List, I Have A To-Do List,&#8217; Says Kamala Harris — Cannabis Legalization Is On It</a>
This poll, conducted from October 24-27 among 623 self-identified cannabis consumers, also provides insight into state-level trends across six key states: California, Missouri, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. In three of these states, Harris holds the lead, two states lean toward Trump, and one remains evenly split among cannabis voters.
Here's the state-by-state breakdown from the NuggMD poll:
California: Harris: 55% &#x7C; Trump: 39%
Missouri: Harris: 49% &#x7C; Trump: 49%
New York: Harris: 61% &#x7C; Trump: 35%
Ohio: Harris: 42% &#x7C; Trump: 58%
Oklahoma: Harris: 37% &#x7C; Trump: 54%

As the first U.S. election where both major-party candidates support federal marijuana reform, cannabis policy is a central topic. 
Harris has stated her commitment to marijuana legalization, listing it as a priority on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41371428/kamala-harris-marijuana-plan-could-remove-barriers-to-employment-housing-and-education-for-black">her "to-do list" if elected</a>. She recently promised to "break down unjust legal barriers" and make recreational marijuana "the law of the land."
Trump, meanwhile, voiced support for a Florida cannabis legalization ballot measure but faces criticism from the Harris campaign, which has pointed to his previous administration's stance on cannabis. 
His running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH), advocates for state-level cannabis decisions but also supports stronger enforcement actions, citing concerns about fentanyl-laced cannabis.
NuggMD's survey has a margin of error of +/- 3.9 percentage points. The company's previous polls indicate a strong preference among cannabis users for regulated cannabis markets, with nearly 80% reporting they purchase primarily from licensed retailers.
