'Southwest Airlines sets a date for seat assignment launch, lays out new boarding order'- CNBC

"This is obviously the most disruptive technology in the history of mankind," billionaire investor Paul Tudor Jones said last month.&nbsp;
"We've been served," Jones warned during an appearance on <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-06-11/open-interest-6-11-2025-video">"Bloomberg Open Interest</a>," casting artificial intelligence as a force that demands urgent scrutiny. His remarks sparked debate over looming job losses, classroom breakthroughs, and whether Congress can craft guardrails before machines outrun lawmakers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Twilight Zone Cookbook Warning</h2>
Jones invoked the 1962 "Twilight Zone" episode "<a href="https://twilightzone.fandom.com/wiki/To_Serve_Man">To Serve Man</a>," where grateful earthlings later learn the aliens' gift is a cookbook. "It seemed humanitarian, but it turns out to be a cookbook," he said, arguing that a helpful-looking algorithm could hide a deadly recipe.&nbsp;

</ul>
Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk echoed the fear during a February appearance on<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSOxPJD-VNo"> "The Joe Rogan Experience"</a>, estimating a 20% chance AI could wipe out humanity—a risk Jones said should "set off alarm bells throughout the world."&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jobs Forecast Sparks Economic Alarm</h2>
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei <a href="https://www.axios.com/2025/05/28/ai-jobs-white-collar-unemployment-anthropic">told Axios</a> in late May that U.S. unemployment could vault from about 4 % to between 10%-20 % within five years as large-language models automate routine white-collar roles, including contract drafting and balance-sheet analysis.
He added that junior analysts, paralegals, and entry-level coders face the greatest risk because their duties mirror model-training data almost verbatim.
The projection tracks with the<a href="https://reports.weforum.org/docs/WEF_Future_of_Jobs_Report_2025.pdf"> World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report</a> 2025, which expects automation to reshape 85 million positions globally by 2027. Jones warned that banking, consulting, law, and media tasks are "already being done faster, sometimes better, by machines," raising the chance of simultaneous layoffs that could test social-safety nets.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tutors Bills And The Race To Regulate</h2>
Even so, Jones said AI's upside "can be profound" in classrooms. The <a href="https://www.ed.gov/sites/ed/files/about/overview/budget/budget25/summary/25summary.pdf">U.S. Department of Education's</a> proposed fiscal 2025 budget includes nearly $500 million for adaptive-learning pilots.&nbsp; A Stanford-led<a href="https://edworkingpapers.com/sites/default/files/ai24-1054.pdf"> study from 2024</a> found that students using AI-assisted tutoring were 4 percentage points more likely to master math concepts, with the largest gains—up to 9 percentage points—among those paired with lower-rated human tutors. Supporters argue that virtual tutors, available around the clock, could narrow stubborn achievement gaps.&nbsp;
Regulation remains the wild card. Jones criticized President Donald Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill for including a moratorium on new AI rules, saying it risks letting the "cookbook" publish itself. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is instead <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/majority-leader-schumer-floor-remarks-on-the-release-of-the-roadmap-for-ai-policy-by-the-senate-bipartisan-senate-ai-working-group">championing</a> an independent oversight agency and at least $32 billion in emergency funding.&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the <a href="https://www.nist.gov/itl/ai-risk-management-framework">National Institute of Standards and Technology</a> released the AI Risk Management Framework in January 2023, yet Jones called voluntary guidance "nowhere near sufficient."

Strategy (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>), a major institutional holder of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), expanded its crypto reserves this week with a fresh purchase of 6,220 BTC. 
The <a href="https://www.strategy.com/press/strategy-acquires-6220-btc-and-now-holds-607770-btc_07-21-2025">acquisition</a>, disclosed in a July 21 SEC filing, was made over a six-day period and cost the firm $739.8 million in cash. The company paid an average of $118,940 per coin.
With this addition, Strategy now holds a total of 607,770 BTC, purchased for approximately $43.61 billion. 
The company last made headlines on July 14 when it acquired 4,225 BTC for $472.5 million also financed by cash reserves and proceeds from a February convertible note issuance.
According to internal figures shared by Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, Strategy's Bitcoin holdings are now valued at around $71 billion.
This puts the firm's digital asset stack among the top 10 largest cash-equivalent holdings of any S&amp;P 500 company, just behind General Motors&#8217; $89 billion and ahead of ExxonMobil's $67 billion.

Saylor has consistently championed Bitcoin as a better long-term store of value than traditional fiat or U.S. Treasuries.
The firm has committed to regular BTC purchases, typically announcing them on Mondays, with funding coming from operating cash, share sales, and convertible debt.
Strategy's Bitcoin-focused treasury approach has influenced other public companies to follow suit. 
As of now, 141 corporations are reported to hold some form of BTC on their balance sheets. 
These include Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MARA#NASDAQ">MARA</a>), Riot Platforms (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIOT#NASDAQ">RIOT</a>), Twenty One, and Metaplanet (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MTPLF#OTC">MTPLF</a>). Despite this growing list, Strategy remains the largest corporate Bitcoin holder, with nearly 3% of the cryptocurrency's total <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44975441/cantor-fitzgerald-backed-twenty-one-launches-strategy-rival-at-3-billion-valuation">capped supply of 21 million.</a>
TD Cowen recently raised its price target for Strategy stock from $590 to $680, citing bullish Bitcoin price forecasts. 
The investment bank expects Bitcoin to reach $155,000 by the end of 2025.
Following the news of its latest purchase, Strategy's stock rose nearly 2% in pre-market trading, hovering around $429 per share, while Bitcoin remained relatively stable at approximately $118,670.

Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CLF#NYSE">CLF</a>) reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/07/b46513797/cleveland-cliffs-reports-second-quarter-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter 2025 results</a> Monday that showed narrowing losses and record steel shipments, as early benefits from its footprint optimization strategy began to materialize.
The steelmaker reported an adjusted loss of 50 cents per share, beating analysts&#8217; expectations for a loss of 70 cents. Revenue totaled $4.93 billion, matching estimates but down from $5.09 billion in the same quarter last year.
Revenue was spread across infrastructure and manufacturing (31%), distributors and converters (30%), automotive (26%), and steel producers (13%). Liquidity stood at $2.7 billion.

Adjusted EBITDA turned positive at $97 million (-70% YoY), improving from a loss of $174 million in the prior quarter. The company&#8217;s steel unit costs declined $15 per ton, driven by idling six underperforming facilities earlier this year.
Steel shipments hit a record 4.3 million net tons, up from 3.99 million in the second quarter of 2024, while the average selling price fell year-over-year to $1,015/ton from $1,125. Product mix was led by hot-rolled (40%), coated (27%), cold-rolled (15%), and plate (5%) products, with the remainder split between stainless/electrical and other products such as slabs and rail.
The company stated that its operational streamlining initiatives, including the partial or full idling of six plants earlier this year, are already delivering meaningful cost reductions. Steel unit costs fell by $15 per ton quarter-over-quarter, with further gains expected in the second half of 2025.
&#8220;Our second-quarter results demonstrate that the footprint optimization initiatives announced a few months ago are already generating a positive impact on both costs and revenues,&#8221; said Lourenco Goncalves, Cleveland-Cliffs&#8217; chairman, president, and CEO.
He added that inventory reductions helped free up working capital during the quarter, accelerating the company&#8217;s path toward positive free cash flow and debt reduction. The company ended the quarter with $2.7 billion in total liquidity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Outlook</h2>
For full-year 2025, Cleveland-Cliffs lowered its capital expenditure guidance to $600 million, down from $625 million. Selling, general and administrative expenses were also reduced to $575 million, from prior guidance of $600 million.
The company maintained its forecast for $50 per ton in steel unit cost reductions versus 2024. Due to accelerated depreciation of idled assets, depreciation and amortization are now expected to come in at $1.2 billion, up from $1.1 billion.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CEO Sees Favorable Steel Conditions Ahead</h2>
Goncalves emphasized that domestic steel pricing remains strong, and the company&#8217;s order book is healthy. He noted that a long-term slab supply contract with a competitor, deemed unprofitable due to low index-based pricing, will end in less than five months and will not be renewed.
&#8220;Cliffs is a major supplier of steel to the automotive manufacturers, and the Trump Administration continues to show strong support to both the domestic steel and the domestic automotive sectors,&#8221; Goncalves said, citing recent tariffs and their positive impact on U.S. manufacturing and jobs.
He said foreign competitors will need to establish U.S. steel capacity if they want to access the market, arguing that Cliffs is uniquely positioned as a domestic, publicly traded player focused on automotive, electrical, stainless, and plate steel.
Price Action: At last check Monday, CLF shares were trading higher by 8.54% to $10.29.
