- 'Terminator' director James Cameron flip-flops on AI, says Hollywood is 'looking at it all wrong'
- Nvidia announces plans to make AI supercomputers in US for first time
- 4-legged hydrogen-powered robot you can actually ride
'I'LL BE BACK': James Cameron's stance on artificial intelligence has evolved over the past few years, and he feels Hollywood needs to embrace it in a few different ways.
MADE IN AMERICA: Nvidia on Monday announced plans to manufacture its artificial intelligence supercomputers entirely in the U.S. for the first time.
RIDEABLE 4-LEGGED ROOT: Kawasaki Heavy Industries has introduced something that feels straight out of a video game: CORLEO, a hydrogen-powered, four-legged robot prototype designed to be ridden by humans. Unveiled at the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, this futuristic machine is built to handle rugged terrain with ease, combining cutting-edge robotics and sustainable energy.
AI LAB PARTNER: The folks at Hugging Face, the open-source artificial intelligence gurus, just jumped into the world of robotics by acquiring Pollen Robotics. And right out of the gate, they are offering the Reachy 2, a super-interesting humanoid robot designed as a "lab partner for the AI era."
AI MIND READER: Researchers in California have achieved a significant breakthrough with an AI-powered system that restores natural speech to paralyzed individuals in real time, using their own voices, specifically demonstrated in a clinical trial participant who is severely paralyzed and cannot speak.
ROBOT MILKS COWS: In a dairy barn managed by robots, cows can choose to be milked whenever they like, which is often more frequent than the twice-a-day schedule in traditional farms. This increased frequency is more comfortable for the cows and can lead to roughly a 10% increase in milk production.

You can now stream select Xbox games you own to PC, no Xbox required—but there's a catch

You can now play select Xbox games you own on your PC by streaming them through the Xbox PC app—if you're an Xbox Insider with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This is a big deal because it includes some games which are not part of the Xbox Game Pass program, so it's the first time subscribers can stream these games via the Xbox PC app. And since you can also purchase games through the app, you don't even need to own an Xbox to buy and play these games. So in a sense, this is Xbox taking another step down the path towards being a console-agnostic game streaming service à la Nvidia's GeForce Now. Xbox Game Pass is already one of the best cloud gaming services around, and this new feature makes it just a little bit better. Of course, you currently have to sign up for the PC Gaming Preview portion of Microsoft's Xbox Insiders program to test it out. The news comes courtesy of an Xbox Wire blog post published yesterday (July 15) in which Microsoft's Anu Reddy explains that Xbox Insiders who have joined the PC Gaming Preview and also subscribe to Game Pass Ultimate ($20/month) can now stream some Xbox games they own via the PC app in the 28 countries (including Australia, the U.S. and the U.K.) where Xbox Cloud Gaming is available. It's basically an expanded version of the "stream your own game" feature Xbox introduced late last year, and since then the list of supported games has quintupled to over 250. The list of supported games is available to peruse on Xbox's website, and while it doesn't include many Xbox exclusives (no Blinx 2 or Lost Odyssey, for example) it does include Xbox 360 games like Saint's Row 2. And to be clear, you're not actually streaming anything from your Xbox when using this feature. The "stream your own game" branding can be misleading, because when you stream one of these games via the Xbox PC app you're actually streaming it via xCloud directly from Microsoft's servers, so your Xbox isn't necessary. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. This can be confusing because the Xbox Series S and Xbox Series X also have a Remote Play feature that lets you stream games you own directly from your console to your PC, TV, smartphone, tablet or Meta Quest headset using your Xbox. None of this is hugely surprising since we've long known (thanks in part to reporting from The Verge ) that Microsoft is pushing to expand its game streaming capabilities as part of something internally branded Project Lapland. The company has been working to beef up its technical capabilities and get developers and publishers to sign off on allowing their games to be streamed remotely, which is presumably why the list of supported games has been steadily growing since last November.

ASML: Strong Quarter, Uncertain Guidance

Key Points ASML beat top- and bottom-line expectations, growing sales by 24% and earnings per share by 47% in the quarter. The company continues to see solid demand for its high-end lithography equipment used to make the powerful chips needed for AI data centers. Tariffs and trade policy are clouding ASML's near-term outlook, leaving the company unable to say whether it will grow in 2026. 10 stocks we like better than ASML › Here's our initial take on ASML's (NASDAQ: ASML) fiscal 2025 second-quarter financial report. Key Metrics Metric Q2 2024 Q2 2025 Change vs. Expectations Net sales 6.2 billion euros 7.7 billion euros 24% Beat EPS 4.01 euros 5.90 euros 47% Beat New units sold 89 67 -25% n/a Net bookings 5.6 billion euros 5.5 billion euros -2% n/a ASML Management Is Unsure About 2026 Growth ASML is the world's go-to supply of high-end lithography equipment used to manufacture microchips, with its most expensive systems selling for nearly $400 million each. The company stands to be a major beneficiary of the AI boom, which is fueling demand for more chips and the machines that produce them, but the high price of its systems tends to result in quarter-to-quarter choppiness. ASML posted revenue and earnings up 24% and 47% year over year despite selling fewer systems this quarter. Lithography equipment varies in price based on the sophistication of the device, implying that the company is seeing strong demand for its newer, cutting-edge technology. Net bookings in the quarter came in flat at 5.5 billion euros, of which 2.3 billion euros was for higher-end systems. The company generated a gross margin of 53.7% in the quarter. But the company is worried about storm clouds on the horizon. ASML's semiconductor customers have been dealing with heightened uncertainty due to trade restrictions and tariff policies, creating questions about orders heading into 2026. CEO Christophe Fouquet said, "AI customers' fundamentals remain strong," but ASML is seeing "increasing uncertainty driven by macro-economic and geopolitical developments." Fouquet said that while ASML is still preparing for growth in 2026, "we cannot confirm it at this stage." Immediate Market Reaction Investors were focused on the commentary about 2026, and not the second-quarter results. ASML shares were down 8% in premarket trading ahead of the New York Stock Exchange open. What to Watch Although ASML's cautious guidance about 2026 is weighing on investors post-earnings, the long-term growth story is still intact. The company is a vital piece in the supply of arguably one of the most important components of the global economy, and with AI spending and other digital efforts likely to continue to build for years to come, there should be solid demand for semiconductors and the machines needed to make them. The geopolitical situation is rapidly changing. Just this week, the U.S. reversed a ban on Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) selling its H20 chips in China. In a recorded interview posted on ASML's website accompanying earnings, the company's chief financial officer, Roger Dassen, attributed the second-quarter beat in part to tariffs having a "less negative" impact than anticipated. If that trend continues, ASML's caution about 2026 could prove to be overly conservative. Helpful Resources Full earnings report Investor relations page Should you buy stock in ASML right now?

Nvidia, ARK Invest buys more Tesla, Bitmine: Trending Tickers

These are some of the stocks on the move on Wednesday, July 16. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sold roughly 225,000 Nvidia (NVDA) shares as part of a previously disclosed plan to sell up to 6 million shares. Cathie Wood's ARK Invest is buying Tesla (TSLA) stock ahead of the electric vehicle (EV) maker's earnings report on July 23. Peter Thiel's fund disclosed a stake in Bitmine (BMNR), sending the stock higher. To watch more expert insights and analysis on the latest market action, check out more Market Catalysts here. Now, let's get to some of today's training tickers. We're watching Nvidia, Tesla, and Bitmine. First up, Nvidia CEO Jensen Wong has sold another $37 million worth of the company's stock. That's according to an SEC filing. This sale of 225,000 shares is part of a previously disclosed plan from March for Huang to sell up to 6 million shares of Nvidia. So far this year, he has disclosed sales of 1.2 million shares overall of the chipmaker. So with me, uh, Brook DePalma here, um, you know, investors watch this stuff, right? But given how the shares have done, and given sort of how these share sales are planned in advance, I, I mean, I don't know if it's a signal or not for the shares. Yeah, what we're seeing right now in early hours of trading, if I take a closer look, Nvidia moving, uh, down about roughly flat here. But what we've seen if you take a look over the past five years is, believe it or not, Nvidia was at just $11 a share back in 2020. Now we're seeing the shares hover around those record highs of 170. Of course, it hit a high yesterday at $171. But this stock has just had so much momentum over these past five years. You can really take a look at this chart. This AI revolution has really led to this increased optimism, this bullishness around Nvidia and those other AI stocks. And I was reading today that Jensen Huang now is above Berkshire Hathaway's Warren Buffett when it comes to that, uh, Bloomberg's billionaire index. And what I find so amazing is Jensen Huang, not only leading this AI revolution, but what I love most is that if you look at his LinkedIn, he still has the fact that he's a Denny's dishwasher, uh, back in the 19, 19, uh, late 1970s or early 1980s. But really, the momentum's there for Nvidia. Jensen Huang certainly, you know, uh, certainly seeing the benefits of that as well. Yeah, let's talk about Tesla shares too. They're on the rise after Kathy Woods Ark Invest has closed the purchase of additional shares in the automaker. The move comes ahead of Tesla's second quarter earnings, and after a rocky year for Tesla that's seen the magnificent seven name down over 20%. Uh, longtime bull Woods price target for Tesla $2,600. I mean, every time I talk to her about it, Brook, um, she is one of these people who believes in the sort of AI future of Tesla, even though right now it makes most of its money from cars. Yeah, she's definitely very bullish on this idea of the Robo taxi. She actually said in a recent interview that Robo taxis will account for 90% of the value of the company in five years, she believes. And so she's definitely very bullish about this autonomous vehicle market and what essentially it could become. Of course, you really can't get over that noise that has been around Tesla. Of course, Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration, that is certainly taking a toll on the stock. And if you take a look year to date, what we've seen here is the stock up relatively. Sorry, let me take a closer look at the YF interactive here. What we've seen so far year to date is this stock coming to play, or rather let's take a look over the past year. We've seen the stock up 24% over the past year. But really, over the past month, they've been trying to hold on to this momentum, especially around that end of June rally that we got a bit there around this autonomous vehicle testing. But there's been lots of fluctuation in the stock, lots of confusion around where Elon Musk stands here, and also we've heard about multiple executives leaving Tesla. And so investors really trying to weigh all of these, but of course, getting a bit of, uh, optimism here, especially after this latest announcement for from Kathy Wood here. And finally, uh, Brook, shares a bit mine immersion technologies rising double digits after billionaire Peter Thiel's venture capital firm founders fund disclosed a 9% stake in that company. Bit Mine recently bought Tom Lee, uh, brought Tom Lee, a fund strat on board as the company shifts from being a Bitcoin miner into an Ethereum Treasury. Um, and shares moving up 15% today. Shares certainly moving higher. Now up about 17% in early hours trading here. And, and what we've seen this sort of correlate with is that run-up of Ethereum. Like I said earlier, Ethereum really has had quite the run in the past few months. In the past few months alone, over the course of three months, we've seen Ethereum jump from about $1,500 to now crossing that, or nearing that 3,500 threshold. And largely that's been in line with this environment where we're getting more regulation around cryptocurrency. And that certainly has investors excited. Of course, if you take a name like Peter Thiel, we also know that he's the co-founder of PayPal, of Palantir. And so there's definitely optimism running into this stock today. Thanks, Brook. Appreciate it.
