Apple Is Suing OpenAI and It's Getting Ugly | BOOM ROOM Weekly Roundup

Apple sues OpenAI over 400 defected engineers, SWIFT launches a massive 17-bank blockchain rail, and Meta deploys custom AI silicon. The US-Iran ceasefire is long gone, with Central Command executing its fifth consecutive day of strikes across 80+ targets, including Greater Tunb Island and Kharg Island.

Meanwhile, Wall Street is printing record money while legacy tech melts down. Goldman Sachs single-handedly saved the Dow, posting a staggering $20.98 earnings per share against a $14.48 consensus.
