Ahead of the 2024 presidential election, former President Donald Trump made headlines with a notable campaign stop in New York City.
What Happened: Former President Trump made a campaign stop at PubKey, a crypto-themed bar in New York, on Wednesday. Trump paid for smash burgers and Diet Cokes using Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), <a href="https://www.wsj.com/politics/elections/that-time-donald-trump-walked-into-a-bar-and-bought-a-round-using-bitcoin-92cf6dd0?mod=latest_headlines">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal.
Trump&#8217;s visit to PubKey, a popular spot among cryptocurrency enthusiasts, aimed to bolster his support from the crypto community. He declared the transaction as &#8220;history in the making&#8221; after using his iPhone to make the payment.
Mike Germano, president of Bitcoin Magazine, praised Trump, saying, &#8220;He's now one of us.&#8221; PubKey co-founder Andrew Newman called it a significant step in bitcoin history, emphasizing the movement behind the currency.
Trump, who once criticized bitcoin, has since embraced the industry. He has appeared at crypto conferences and received millions in campaign contributions made in cryptocurrencies. He promised a more favorable regulatory climate if re-elected.

Not So Fast, Polymarket Traders Say</a>
During the event, Trump reiterated his commitment to making the U.S. the &#8220;world capital for crypto and bitcoin.&#8221; He also pledged to halt work on central bank digital currencies and proposed creating a strategic national bitcoin stockpile and a bitcoin advisory council, according to the report.
PubKey also shared an image with Trump on X, captioning it: &#8220;One of the most historic transactions in #bitcoin history was just made.&#8221;

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s evolving stance on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40905315/donald-trumps-new-crypto-project-world-liberty-financial-everything-you-need-to-know">cryptocurrency has been a significant shift</a>, especially given his previous criticisms. This transformation began to take shape earlier this year when he launched World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a decentralized finance platform centered around a crypto token. This move marked his formal embrace of blockchain technology.
Moreover, Trump has credited his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40901067/i-was-blown-away-donald-trump-credits-sons-for-introducing-him-to-crypto-marvels-at-nft-co">sons for introducing him to the world of crypto</a>, particularly noting the success of his NFT collection. He expressed his surprise at how quickly the collection sold out, which further fueled his interest in the digital asset space.
In the political arena, Trump&#8217;s pro-crypto <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40919168/ethereum-co-founder-says-donald-trump-is-certainly-the-favorite-over-kamala-harris-for-cry">stance has garnered attention</a>. Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) co-founder Charles Hoskinson recently stated that Trump is &#8220;certainly the favorite&#8221; over Vice President Kamala Harris from a cryptocurrency perspective.
Additionally, Anthony Scaramucci, former White House Communications Director, has called for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40916521/anthony-scaramucci-calls-for-bipartisan-crypto-regulation-applauds-donald-trump-for-coming">bipartisan crypto regulation</a>, applauding Trump for his newfound support of the industry. Scaramucci believes this shift could encourage Democrats to adopt a more favorable stance on cryptocurrency regulation.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) claimed on X that Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell admitted President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris&#8216; administration&#8217;s immigration policies are contributing to higher unemployment rates. Powell&#8217;s comments were made during a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40929003/powells-hawkish-tone-tempers-market-excitement-after-historic-50-basis-point-intere">postmeeting press conference</a>.
What Happened: Johnson shared a video clip where Powell was questioned about the recent job creation rates and the impact of immigration on the labor market. 
Powell responded by indicating that the influx of immigrants has contributed to the rise in unemployment, alongside a slower hiring rate.
Powell said, &#8220;If you're having millions of people come into the labor force, then—and you're creating 100,000 jobs, you're going to see unemployment go up.&#8221; He noted that the increase in unemployment is partly due to the high number of people entering the country and the slower rate of job creation.
Sharing Powell&#8217;s remarks, Johnson wrote, &#8220;The Federal Reserve Chairman admitted the massive influx of illegal immigrants under Biden and Harris has raised the unemployment rate. This administration's refusal to secure the border is actively harming American workers and our economy.&#8221; 
Additionally, Elon Musk CEO of Tesla Inc. has reshared Johnson&#8217;s post, amplifying the discussion.

Why It Matters: The context surrounding Powell&#8217;s comments is crucial to understanding the broader economic landscape. Just a day before Johnson&#8217;s post, Powell had defended a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down">significant 50-basis-point interest rate cut</a>, emphasizing it was necessary to support the labor market and prevent economic downturns. 
This rate cut, which brought interest rates down to a range of 4.75% to 5%, was the first in over four years. Powell stressed the importance of preemptive measures to maintain a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/09/40927293/powell-defends-0-5-interest-rate-drop-as-right-thing-for-the-economy-doubles-down">strong labor market</a>.
Moreover, the Federal Reserve&#8217;s dot plot indicated that policymakers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40929003/powells-hawkish-tone-tempers-market-excitement-after-historic-50-basis-point-intere">anticipate further rate cuts</a>, signaling a cautious approach to economic stability.
Johnson&#8217;s remarks also come at a time when House Republicans, including Johnson himself, are grappling with internal disagreements over a funding bill aimed at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40931809/house-republicans-reject-their-own-funding-bill-as-government-shutdown-looms-mike-johnson-says-we-ha">preventing a government shutdown</a>. 
Musk&#8217;s involvement in the discussion is notable, given his advocacy for simplifying the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38488525/elon-musk-advocates-for-easier-and-simplified-legal-immigration-process-amid-migrant-influx">legal immigration process</a>. Musk has previously called for easier and quicker legal immigration, highlighting the challenges faced by skilled labor in navigating the current system.

Microsoft Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTF#NASDAQ">MSTF</a>) LinkedIn, the professional networking giant, has come under scrutiny for reportedly using user data for AI training before&nbsp;updating its terms of service.
What Happened: This primarily affected users in the U.S., as those in the EU, European Economic Area, or Switzerland were likely exempt due to stringent data privacy rules in these regions, <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2024/09/18/linkedin-scraped-user-data-for-training-before-updating-its-terms-of-service/">reported</a> TechCrunch, <a href="https://www.404media.co/linkedin-is-training-ai-on-user-data-before-updating-its-terms-of-service/">citing</a> 404 media as the first to spot this discrepancy.
Users have an opt-out toggle in their settings that reveals LinkedIn collects personal data to train &#8220;content creation AI models.&#8221; While the toggle isn&#8217;t new, LinkedIn initially failed to update its privacy policy to reflect this data usage.
LinkedIn&#8217;s terms of service have since been updated, but typically, such updates precede significant changes&nbsp;like using user data for&nbsp;new purposes.

LinkedIn did not immediately respond to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comments.
The company uses the data to train its own AI models, including those&nbsp;for writing suggestions and post&nbsp;recommendations. LinkedIn also indicated&nbsp;that generative AI models on&nbsp;its platform could be trained by &#8220;another provider,&#8221; such as its parent company,&nbsp;Microsoft.
How To Opt Out Of LinkedIn&#8217;s Data Scrapping
Step I: Go to the &#8220;Data Privacy&#8221; section in the settings menu.

Why It Matters: Earlier this year, AI startups&nbsp;OpenAI and Anthropic&nbsp;were accused of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39443965/openai-and-anthropic-allegedly-ignore-web-scraping-rules-stirring-controversy">ignoring web scraping rules</a>. The reported behavior of OpenAI and Anthropic reflected a larger trend among AI companies pursuing high-quality data for their models.
In April,&nbsp;OpenAI also received flak for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38152790/openai-transcribes-over-a-million-youtube-hours-navigating-the-gray-area-of-ai-data-use">reportedly transcribing over a million hours</a> of YouTube videos for training its GPT-4 model.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has also gained attention with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38975543/news-corp-stock-pops-on-multiyear-deal-with-openai">multiyear partnership</a> with News Corp, giving it access to the media giant&#8217;s news content. This deal marked a notable advancement in the AI industry&#8217;s pursuit of high-quality training data.
Later in July, Elon Musk&#8217;s social media platform, X, formerly Twitter, was found to be&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39979855/elon-musks-x-shares-your-posts-on-his-social-media-platform-with-grok-for-training-heres-how-you-can">sharing user posts</a>&nbsp;with xAI&#8217;s Grok for training.

Microsoft's LinkedIn in Hot Water For Allegedly Using Data Of Users For Training AI Before Updating Terms Of Service

Ahead of a looming government shutdown, a significant development occurred in the House of Representatives as Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La.) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913633/house-set-to-vote-on-gop-bill-to-prevent-government-shutdown-after-chuck-schumer-warns-republicans-n">funding bill was defeated</a>.
What Happened: A diverse group of House Republicans rejected Speaker Johnson's proposal to fund the government on Wednesday. The bill&#8217;s failure complicates efforts to avoid a government shutdown at the end of the month, <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4887533-mike-johnson-funding-bill-fails-house/">reported</a> The Hill.
&#8220;We have time to fix the situation, and we'll get right to it. I'm disappointed. I know this was the right thing to do, and I think the American people are gonna let a lot of the folks that voted no tonight hear their concerns about it,&#8221; Johnson said. 
Fourteen Republicans joined nearly every Democrat in voting against the bill, which combined a six-month stopgap measure with a requirement for proof of citizenship to vote. The final vote tally was 202-220, with two members voting present.
The opposition came from various GOP factions: hardline conservatives opposed the continuing resolution, defense hawks worried about Pentagon funding, and moderates were concerned about the shutdown threat close to the election.
Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) criticized the bill, saying, "I look at the spending, and I think that's one of the largest issues that we have in our country, is $36 trillion in debt."
The bill's failure leaves Speaker Johnson in a difficult position, with the path to avoiding a shutdown now uncertain. Johnson indicated he is already discussing alternative plans with colleagues.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) urged bipartisan cooperation to keep the government running, stating, "Bipartisan, bicameral cooperation. That's what works."
Former President Donald Trump has pressured Republicans to include the SAVE Act in any funding legislation, further complicating Johnson's efforts to navigate the situation.
Why It Matters: The defeat of Speaker Johnson&#8217;s funding bill is a critical moment in the ongoing struggle to prevent a government shutdown. This event follows a series of contentious negotiations and warnings from key political figures.
On Wednesday, the House was set to vote on Johnson&#8217;s proposal to keep the government funded, but the bill lacked <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40913633/house-set-to-vote-on-gop-bill-to-prevent-government-shutdown-after-chuck-schumer-warns-republicans-n">sufficient Republican support</a> to pass. Senate Majority Leader Schumer had previously warned that if a shutdown occurred due to &#8220;Republican poison pills,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40890590/chuck-schumer-says-if-government-shutdown-happens-it-will-because-of-republican-poison-pills-the-ame">American public would hold the GOP responsible</a>.
Earlier in June, Speaker Johnson had suggested invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Joe Biden from office, indicating his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39562810/mike-johnson-suggests-using-25th-amendment-to-remove-biden-after-debate-performance-this-is-a-very-d">aggressive stance on various issues</a>.
In March, the House had successfully passed a major spending bill to prevent a government shutdown, showcasing the complexities and challenges in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/03/37529014/us-house-successfully-passes-major-spending-bill-to-prevent-government-shutdown">achieving bipartisan agreement</a>.

Nvidia, T-Mobile US, Vivos Therapeutics, SoFi Technologies, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk&nbsp;has agreed with&nbsp;Nvidia Corporation&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang&#8217;s prediction of a future where individuals will have personal digital agents akin to Star Wars&#8217; R2-D2 or C-3PO.
What Happened:&nbsp;On Wednesday, during&nbsp;T-Mobile's Capital Markets Day 2024,&nbsp;Huang shared his vision of a future where digital agents will accompany and learn with individuals throughout their lives.
He expressed excitement about the idea of having a computer that grows smarter over time, helping its user accomplish tasks and essentially becoming a personal R2-D2 or C-3PO.
&#8220;I love the idea that I&#8217;ll have my own R2-D2, my own C3PO, and my R2 will be following me,&#8221; he stated, adding, &#8220;People who are just growing up now they&#8217;re going to have their own personal R2 with them.&#8221;

Huang then discussed the latest advancements introduced by Sam Altman-led OpenAI in the shape of their new <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/09/40842891/openai-unveils-o1-model-a-step-closer-to-human-like-ai-but-not-without-flaws">reasoning model &#8220;o1,&#8221;</a> highlighting how future AI systems will possess greater reasoning capabilities.
Unlike the single-pass approach currently used in tools like ChatGPT, future systems will perform hundreds of passes, using reinforcement learning to generate more thoughtful responses, he stated.
This increased computational demand is why Huang pointed out <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40800236/nvidia-faces-investor-scrutiny-over-blackwell-chip-delays-big-revenue-expected-report">improvements in the</a> Blackwell platform, which boosted inference performance by 50 times.
When a clip of Huang&#8217;s interview was shared on X, formerly Twitter, Musk responded with a simple &#8220;True,&#8221; indicating his agreement with Huang&#8217;s vision.

R2-D2 and C-3PO are iconic droids from the&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;franchise. C-3PO is a protocol droid designed for etiquette and translation, fluent in over six million forms of communication. It is another gem from Star Wars, which often serves as a companion to R2-D2.
Why It Matters: Earlier this month, OpenAI launched a new model, ‘o1,' which is a significant step towards achieving human-like artificial intelligence.
This model can answer complex questions faster than a human and outperforms previous models in writing code and solving multi-step problems.
Meanwhile,&nbsp;Nvidia&nbsp;is facing rising <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/09/40820349/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-admits-its-tense-as-surging-demand-for-blackwell-chips-sparks-customer-fru">tensions due to the limited supply</a> of its latest Blackwell chips. The company is experiencing such great demand for its chips that it is causing frustration among some of Nvidia&#8217;s customers.
