Two AI Stocks Wall Street Sees Downside of More Than 55%
March 23, 2026, 1:34 AM EDT. AI stocks have dazzled investors but valuations have stretched. Wall Street analysts see further downside in two names. Jefferies' Brent Thill reiterates an Underperform on Palantir (PLTR) with a $70 target, about 55% below the March 19 close, citing an expensive valuation at roughly 84.1× forward earnings even after strong results. In Q4 2025, Palantir revenue jumped 70% to $1.4 billion, with deals totaling about $4.3 billion and a GAAP net income margin of 43%, powered by its AI platform AIP and ontology framework. Separately, Fastly (FSLY), an edge cloud provider, carries a median target near $14-roughly 47% to 62% below recent levels, per Citi's Fatima Boolani-reflecting concerns about stretched multiples as AI adoption grows.
Swissto12 to build first GEO optical relay satellite for Space Compass
March 23, 2026, 1:32 AM EDT. Swissto12 announced a contract to build the first GEOoptical relay spacecraft using its washing machine-sized HummingSat platform for Space Compass, a Japan-based data-relay venture.

Nebius shifts from pure compute rental to tools spanning simulation, data creation, and real-world deployment, aiming to attract robotics OEMs, autonomous driving programs, and industrial automation customers who prefer a managed stack. NVIDIA hardware and foundation models (pretrained AI models) underpin the service, shaping how AI workloads are allocated across Nebius's capacity for projects demanding both simulation and production-scale inference in one environment. The move deepens Nebius' tie to high-powered GPUs and next-gen tooling, while raising execution and capital-intensity considerations.
Mark Cuban says AI agents could trim workdays by an hour
March 23, 2026, 1:26 AM EDT. Mark Cuban says AIagents could trim a typical workday by about an hour by taking over routine tasks. In remarks reported today, the billionaire investor argues smart automation can handle scheduling, data entry and basic analysis, letting professionals focus on higher-value work. Cuban cautions companies must invest in training and governance to realize the savings, and notes that adoption will vary by industry. He frames AIagents as a productivity lever, not a substitute for human judgment. Critics warn of risk and displacement, but Cuban says the winner will be firms that blend AI with human oversight and clear ethics.
Agentic AI commerce could end internet ads, says a16z Crypto
March 23, 2026, 1:24 AM EDT. Autonomous Agentic AI agents could reshape online commerce and upend current advertising models, a16z Crypto argues. Sam Ragsdale, co-founder of Merit Systems, says the internet's distraction-based business model-where ads monetize attention-has been the default since 1997. He notes LLMs (large language models) and agents do not get distracted, potentially letting buyers transact directly within conversations. Mordor Intelligence puts the online advertising market at about $291 billion in 2025. Ragsdale warns that existing Instant Checkout services are closed ecosystems or 'walled gardens' requiring pre-approval. The future, he says, lies in open protocols that let AI agents discover products and transact with many merchants, equating a pre-approved merchant to a corporate card. He points to the x402 protocol from Coinbase or the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) from Tempo and Stripe as foundations for open agentic commerce.
Two AI stocks to buy for 2026: Nvidia and Meta Platforms
March 23, 2026, 1:06 AM EDT. Two AI picks anchor this year: Nvidia and Meta Platforms. Nvidia posted $68.1 billion of revenue in Q4 2026, up 73% year over year, with gross margins near 75% and full-year revenue of about $215.9 billion. Management projects continuing momentum in the data center business, aiming for at least $1 trillion in data center revenue through 2027. The stock trades around 22x forward earnings, with a PEG well under 0.4, suggesting growth is priced conservatively relative to its expansion. Meta Platforms remains cheaper by this metric, trading near 21x forward earnings, even as it ramps AI infrastructure with capex guidance up to $135 billion this year. Improvements in its Generative Ads model (GEM) are supporting the company's ads revenue.
Samsung scales back Now Brief after failed personalization experiment
March 23, 2026, 1:04 AM EDT. Samsung's Galaxy S26 introduced Now Brief, an automated daily briefing that curates weather, news, videos and other prompts. The feature promised richer insights with YouTube and Gemini toggles, but in practice it delivered low-accuracy recommendations. Users often preferred scrolling through the YouTube app rather than awaiting updates in the briefing. The company added a weather widget and attempted auto-refresh, but these elements failed to engage. More troubling, the opt-in for personalization asked users to share a broad range of data-calendar, emails, wallet, app usage and Google sports data-with Google to fuel video recommendations. Critics called this data collection excessive; Samsung should consider user consent and the privacy implications, as data farming risks eroding trust and product value.
Dynamax Regice Max Monday: Event Guide
March 23, 2026, 12:50 AM EDT. Players can join Dynamax Battles in Pokémon GO either in-person at Power Spots or remotely. Battles support up to four trainers; each trainer may bring up to three Pokémon. Only Dynamax or Gigantamax-eligible Pokémon may participate. Battles are turn-based, unlike raids or GO Battle League. Charging the Max Meter requires tapping for Fast Attacks; the meter fills from damage dealt, with a minimum of 1 energy. Because bosses have high stats, Charge Moves are usually not worth using. To dodge, swipe left or right when three lines appear above a Pokémon's head. During the Dynamax Phase, fill the meter via energy icons or attacks; a full meter lets your Pokémon Dynamax for 3 turns. There is a 3-second countdown to pick which Pokémon to dynamax. You can switch after a phase ends and may dynamax again in the same battle. If all your Pokémon faint against a 3-star or higher boss, you can cheer to boost allies' meters.
Samsung's Galaxy S26 gains AirDrop-style sharing with iPhone and Mac
March 23, 2026, 12:48 AM EDT. Samsung says its Galaxy S26 smartphones will soon connect to Apple's ecosystem via an AirDrop-style feature. The option, called Share with Apple devices, appears in the Quick Share menu and is activated in Settings. Once enabled, Galaxy phones can see and send photos and files to nearby iPhone and Mac devices by selecting them in the Quick Share list. For an iPhone to receive, AirDrop must be set to Everyone. The feature mirrors the Pixel 10's cross-OS work introduced last year and is rolling out this week, starting with the S26 series. Samsung says the capability will expand to more Galaxy models, potentially reaching lower-cost phones such as the $200 Galaxy A17. The move underscores ongoing cross-OS interoperability efforts.

Elon Musk: space-based AI computing could be cheaper than Earth within 2-3 years
March 23, 2026, 12:36 AM EDT. Elon Musk says space-based AI computing could beat Earth-based systems on cost within two to three years. In an interview with AzerNEWS, the Tesla and SpaceX founder argued that sending AI chips into space would be cheaper than installing them on Earth because solar power in space eliminates the need for large batteries. He also said solar panels in orbit are at least five times more efficient than on Earth due to no atmospheric losses, constant sunlight, and no seasonal variability. Musk added that expanding electricity capacity on Earth is hard and expensive, while space infrastructure could scale more cheaply. The remarks reflect his broader interest in leveraging space infrastructure for computing, according to AzerNEWS.
BYD unveils 1,500 kW fast-charging system to cut EV recharge times
March 23, 2026, 12:34 AM EDT. Lineups of EVs plugged into rechargers are becoming common at service stations as rapid charging moves closer to automotive viability. BYD plans to reveal a 1,500 kW drive-through charger in Paris on April 8, paired with its Blade Battery in the Denza Z9GT. BYD claims a 10% to 70% top-up in five minutes and a full charge in nine minutes. Public fast-chargers bypass the car's internal charger, pushing power directly from the grid. Lithium-ion limits arise from ion bottlenecks that generate heat at high rates. The Blade Battery uses molecularly engineered cathodes and anodes with thin components to reduce resistance, enabling faster charging. BYD seeks to install 1,500 kW chargers worldwide, aiming for tens of thousands of stations, including roughly 20,000 in China by year-end.

The setup yields extra screen real estate, touch input, and the option to run the tablet as a standalone device when desired. The guide emphasizes a quick link between the tablet and PC: download from Google Play Store on the tablet; download Windows driver from the SuperDisplay site; run the installer, accept the license, and reboot if needed. The result is a ready external monitor that can extend a laptop's workspace, using the tablet's internal battery to lengthen runtime. A practical, low-cost workaround for portable displays.
Apple CEO touts China ties as Beijing pressures App Store policy
March 23, 2026, 12:26 AM EDT. Apple CEO Tim Cook used the China Development Forum in Beijing to praise Chinese developers and the country's manufacturing ecosystem, arguing that innovation, green development and education are interconnected. He said Apple will continue collaborating with partners in China as it diversifies assembly to Vietnam and India. The remarks come after the Communist Party's People's Daily urged a further easing of App Store restrictions and framed Apple's pricing as potentially monopolistic; Apple had earlier cut fees for Chinese developers to head off antitrust pressure. Cook highlighted a broad, excellently talented developer community building opportunity across China. Premier Li Qiang, meanwhile, cited Apple as an example of a diversified supply chain, warning against politicizing industrial issues and stressing stability of the global supply chain. The event underscored renewed tech ties.

Engineers describe NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 as pulling fine details straight from 2D frame data, making use of motion vectors along the way.
March 23, 2026, 12:00 AM EDT. NVIDIA says its DLSS 5 can upscale from just a single 2D frame plus a set of motion vectors—the data showing frame-to-frame movement. The company’s adamant: all the lighting and material cues come straight from that one image, while the underlying geometry stays as it was, though “neural rendering” remains a topic of debate. Jacob Freeman notes lighting is generated entirely in screen space. For creators, there’s a suite of controls—sliders for intensity, gamma, contrast, color grading, saturation—and masking tools to leave selected areas untouched. Some users have already called out offbeat facial movements; Freeman refers to this as an early build, says more fixes are planned. So far, no major studios have exited, and DLSS 5 could offer a meaningful leap in visuals for games without top-shelf rendering—provided developers can get it dialed in.
