   AI industry"Altman says the RSI era has begun": video on AI building AI hits 47,000 views as Reddit debates a '4.5x speedup' estimate

   A YouTube video on an era of AI accelerating AI research reached about 47,000 views within a day. The AI news channel AI Revolution rounded up the debate over OpenAI CEO Sam Altman saying the world has entered the recursive self-improvement (RSI) era.

   The description says Altman told Indian interviewer Raj Shamani that the RSI era has begun and that OpenAI's agents log 3.1 workdays for every one a researcher puts in. It says OpenAI admits it does not yet know how to reach full RSI safely. It also covers Altman's claim that AI is now mostly smarter than top scientists, which mathematicians questioned over OpenAI's Navier-Stokes proof. The figures and quotes are the description's summary; the original reporting is in the sources linked in the video.

   On Reddit's r/OpenAI the same day, a post saying METR's Ryan Greenblatt estimates AI is now speeding up AI research by 4.5x, five months earlier than AI 2027 predicted, ranked among the top posts. It follows METR's statement a day earlier that Anthropic's AI research speed may be about double.

   AI agentsMeta Muse 'Piggy' demo hits 10,000 views: iJustine (7.05M subscribers) partnered with Meta, but top comment says 'If it's from Meta we don't want it'

   A video by YouTuber iJustine (7.05 million subscribers), made in partnership with Meta to try the AI agent Muse, reached 10,251 views. The description carries a partnership tag (#metapartner).

   According to the description, iJustine demos calendar organizing, meal tracking and building custom apps, and names her agent Piggy. It also shows connecting third-party services and setting privacy parameters. On Nov. 6 Meta added spaces to Muse, letting users describe a screen and have it built inside the app (see the stories section).

   Comments are cold. The top comment (23 likes) was "If it's from Meta we don't want it," followed by "Props to iJustine for taking Meta's money but no one cares about their AI" (20) and "The good: Meta developing AI R&D. The bad: it's Meta" (11). One user who said they had used it from the start wrote it is pretty good once you know its strengths.

Not investment advice. You are responsible for your own investment decisions.

1. US marketNasdaq rebounds 1.1% in a day but logs a fourth straight weekly drop; chip index up 4.2%, AMD up 11%

   A day after the rout, US stocks recovered on the back of technology shares but could not escape a weekly decline.

   According to Reuters, the Nasdaq Composite rose 264 points, or 1.1%, to 24,579.43 on Nov. 6. The S&P 500 gained 23 points, or 0.32%, to 7,376.86, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 237 points, or 0.46%, to 51,285.73. The semiconductor index rose 4.2%, Nvidia 2.8%, AMD 11% and Sandisk nearly 4%. The Nasdaq logged its fourth straight weekly decline and is about 10% below its peak, in correction territory. "We still think AI is the dominant theme in this bull market," said Keith Lerner, chief investment officer at Truist Advisory Services. The October jobs report released the same day beat expectations.

   The index swings are centered on chip and memory makers whose revenue hangs on the AI data center buildout. After such a large drop on Nov. 5, some say it is too early to call a turn on one day's rebound. This is not investment advice.

2. Korean marketKOSPI plunges 6.02% to 5,059.69, breaking 5,000 intraday; government waives margin-maintenance rule for three months to curb forced selling

   Fears of tighter AI data center rules after the US midterms spread to Korea, and the KOSPI fell sharply on Nov. 6.

   According to Naver Pay Money Story, the KOSPI closed at 5,059.69, down 6.02%, barely holding 5,000, while the KOSDAQ fell 5.03% to 644.27. The index dropped more than 8% early and briefly broke below 5,000 intraday. A 12.25% overnight plunge in the US semiconductor index weighed heavily, and Samsung Electronics and SK hynix each fell more than 6%. The won weakened 1.08% to 1,356.60 per dollar. From Nov. 9 the government will waive for three months the 140% collateral-maintenance rule for brokerages to stop a flood of forced liquidations, and says it will add measures if volatility rises. Some analysts say the reaction is overdone because a full halt to data center construction is unlikely. Deputy Prime Minister Bae Kyung-hoon was quoted by Yonhap saying Korea must not slow investment.

   The shock hit memory and chip makers, leveraged retail investors and brokerage credit desks directly. With US stocks rebounding overnight, the Korean open is the variable. This is not a buy or sell recommendation.

3. Timeline signal"Paying users have noticed AI is dumber": post claiming big labs quietly cut compute draws 2,600 likes

   On Nov. 6 the finance account Financelot posted that "paying users have noticed AI is recently dumber as Anthropic, Google, OpenAI and xAI quietly reduce compute time to cut costs." It passed about 2,600 likes and 81,000 views. The post cites no evidence.

   Replies included a user report (67 likes) that Opus 5.5 used to be a brilliant colleague building decks and concepts together but now feels like Opus 5 or 5.1, and a reaction that open-weight models will eventually replace them. On Reddit's r/ClaudeCode, a post titled "Opus 5.5 is trying to destroy my codebase recently" ranked among the day's top posts. There is no official announcement or measurement supporting the claim, and none of the four companies has commented.

   If true, it would touch the perceived quality and limits for people who use AI tools on flat monthly plans, and how AI companies heading to IPO manage inference costs. It is an unconfirmed claim. This is not investment advice.

4. Timeline signalMicrosoft to let AI cloud deal with Oracle lapse, per a Polymarket post citing Bloomberg; 1,800 likes

   A post by the prediction market Polymarket on Nov. 6 said, "Microsoft to wind down its AI cloud computing deal with Oracle after declining to renew its contract. - Bloomberg." It passed about 1,850 likes and 98,000 views. The post gives no contract size or reason for the non-renewal.

   Replies included "Even Microsoft is starting to question the unlimited money glitch" (55 likes) and a view that some of the AI companies people are pouring billions into will not make it. The same account separately posted a 3% chance that Microsoft has a top AI model by year-end. The Bloomberg original and an official statement from either company have not been confirmed.

   If accurate, it touches the contract structure of cloud providers that lease AI compute capacity and the trend of large customers expanding their own data centers. This is an unconfirmed X post, not investment advice.

1. KoreaKorea's national AI committee settles on an 'AI Framework Act first' rule for new laws and launches seven task forces

   Korea's National AI Strategy Committee set the standard for AI legislation pursued by individual ministries.

   According to MTN, the committee held its third plenary meeting on Nov. 6 under Vice Chair Ha Jung-woo and approved three items including a Korea AI Legislation Framework. Bills on AI introduced in the 22nd National Assembly through Oct. 19 total 477, about 2.8 times the 170 in the entire 21st Assembly and 4.7 times as many per month. The government will first consider amending the AI Framework Act and existing laws before creating new ones, will be cautious about new rules for AI businesses but respond quickly where risks to life, bodily safety and other fundamental rights materialize, and will consider separate legislation for defense and national security, which the Act excludes.

   Seven task forces will also launch, including superintelligence response, youth leap and global cooperation. The superintelligence TF will select ten tasks to reinforce the AI action plan by next June, and the data flywheel TF will draw up a plan to secure at least 1 trillion tokens of Korean and specialist training data by next March. Ha said the committee will support ministries so results arrive on schedule.

2. USTrump: superintelligence is 'like gold', 'I support it 100%', taking aim at Democrats' data center curbs

   President Donald Trump reaffirmed full support for the AI and data center industry, pushing back on growing Democratic calls for AI regulation after the midterms.

   According to Financial News, citing AP and others, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Nov. 6, "As President, I am 100% in favor of Super Intelligence (SI, his term for AI)," adding that he will work with states that want to adopt SI and get rich. "Data centers and super intelligence are like gold," he said, and only foolish leadership would say no to that wealth. Democrats won in places such as Texas and Ohio by tapping voter anger that data center power use raises electricity bills. Trump also blamed Democrats for the Nov. 5 market plunge and dismissed calls to slow AI development as a "scam" that only benefits China.

3. USThree men charged with using AI to impersonate CEOs and lawyers and steal $129 million

   US prosecutors charged three foreign nationals with using AI to alter the voices and images of company executives and attorneys to get employees to wire large payments.

   According to the Guardian, the US attorney's office for the Southern District of New York said in a newly unsealed indictment that Jacob Soall, Sharon Hazan and Guy Sheetrit used AI to impersonate executives and lawyers. Soall and Hazan were arrested in Spain over the summer and Sheetrit in the UK in September. The Justice Department says they stole more than $129 million from companies worldwide: nearly $5 million from a Missouri hospital system, about $2.7 million from a Rhode Island bank, about $3 million from a California hospital system, over $4.6 million from a Massachusetts mutual fund, about $5 million from a Florida pet food company and over $11 million from a UK tech company. Prosecutors allege the money was wired to accounts in the US, Spain, Portugal and elsewhere, converted to cryptocurrency and split among the group.
