Jury finds Elon Musk liable for misleading investors during Twitter purchase

Cbsnews.com and 1 more

A San Francisco jury found Elon Musk liable for misleading investors during Twitter's 2022 purchase process.
The verdict said two Musk tweets were misleading, but he did not deliberately scheme to defraud investors.
Damages for shareholders will be determined in a subsequent phase of the case.
The trial focused on Musk's statements about fake accounts and the Twitter deal.
Musk's change of stance after the trial influenced the eventual purchase outcome in 2022.
The verdict did not find that Musk knowingly defrauded investors with a deliberate scheme.
The class-action scope includes thousands of Twitter shareholders affected by the statements.
The other portion of the trial evaluated a May 2022 podcast remark and its impact on investors.
The ruling could have significant financial implications for Musk and his holdings.

AI may boost euro area productivity growth by 4% in 10 years, ECB says

AI may boost euro area productivity growth by 4% in 10 years, ECB says

Tradingview.com and 2 more

ECB Chief Economist Philip Lane says AI could lift euro-area productivity by more than 4 percentage points over the next decade, but progress depends on how quickly adoption spreads and energy costs.
A take-up rate similar to the internet could deliver at least 1.5 percentage points of extra productivity growth in 10 years, Lane notes.
If AI adoption reaches at least half the economy, gains could exceed 4 percentage points, underscoring the scale of potential impact.
Lane warns that high energy costs and the energy intensity of AI could slow model development and adoption.
Europe lags the US in AI innovation, with only about 3% of euro-area patents related to AI compared with 9% in the United States.
Europe pays roughly 250 billion euros a year in royalties to foreign patent-holders, highlighting dependence on imported AI tech.
Europe's shallower capital markets are seen as a barrier to scaling AI innovation and investment.
Policy priorities include broader access to finance, diffusion to smaller firms, and investment in skills and intangible assets.
The ECB emphasizes that AI gains hinge on adoption speed and energy prices that affect model building and deployment costs.
AI's greatest long-run impact would come if it materially boosts the pace of innovation, potentially raising long-run growth beyond productivity gains alone.

Chemistry student develops clear polish that turns your fingernail into a touch-screen stylus

Chemistry student develops clear polish that turns your fingernail into a touch-screen stylus

Livescience.com and 1 more

A conductive, clear nail polish could help long fingernails work with capacitive touchscreens, addressing a key challenge for users with natural non-conductive nails.
Desai and Lawrence tested hundreds of formulations, identifying a small set of additives that enable conductivity without metal particles.
The effective combination uses ethanolamine and taurine, balancing conductivity with clarity to avoid a colored or metallic look.
The polish remains in early stages; a thin layer does not consistently register, and ethanolamine evaporates quickly, limiting duration of use.
The work originated as a Centenary College of Louisiana project, with Desai pursuing cosmetic chemistry to keep nails compatible with touchscreens.
Desai aimed to avoid toxic materials and metals, seeking a clear polish that could be used over any manicure.
The approach relies on acid-base chemistry rather than metal additives to support electrical conductivity at the nail surface.
The team presented findings at an American Chemical Society meeting, signaling peer interest and validation for the concept.
The ultimate goal is broader accessibility, enabling people with calluses, dry skin, or gloves to operate touch screens more easily.
Researchers continue screening compounds and refining formulas, pursuing a durable, commercially viable solution rather than a one-off prototype.

Layton City adopts ordinance to prohibit cryptocurrency ATMs

Kutv.com and 2 more

Layton City passed an ordinance prohibiting cryptocurrency ATMs within city limits, directly banning the machines that enable crypto transactions in the community.
The measure follows a probe that linked about $2 million in fraud losses from 2021–2025 to crypto kiosks and related scams.
Law enforcement notes that criminals pressure victims to deposit cash into crypto kiosks, with funds then moving to the offender’s digital wallet, hindering recovery.
The ordinance targets physical kiosks but does not ban personal cryptocurrency use by residents.
Under the new rules, existing crypto machines must be removed within 60 days.
Residents are cautioned about cryptocurrency payment requests, especially those that are urgent, secretive, or threatening.
Police posted a fraud warning flyer beside the crypto machine to deter scams.
The report catalogues common scams related to crypto, including impersonation, investment and romance scams, as well as tech support fraud.
Layton identified 18 cryptocurrency kiosks within the city prior to enacting the ban.
Officials emphasize the ordinance aims to curb kiosk-related fraud while allowing personal crypto use.
