Japan welcomed a new attraction this week with the opening of PokéPark Kanto, a permanent Pokémon theme park in Tokyo, while Apple is reportedly working on integrating AI chatbots like ChatGPT into CarPlay. Elsewhere, an AI chipmaker, Cerebras Systems, announced a $1 billion capital raise, and a "March for Billionaires" is planned in San Francisco to protest California's proposed wealth tax. HBO's financial thriller "Industry" is also capturing attention with its storyline about tech fraud.
PokéPark Kanto, located inside Yomiuriland, spans 26,000 square meters and is divided into two areas, according to Euronews. One area features a forest trail with over 600 life-sized Pokémon figures. The other area focuses on rides, shops, and food. The park's opening coincides with strong tourist numbers in Japan.
In the tech world, Cerebras Systems secured $1 billion in fresh capital, reaching a valuation of $23 billion, as reported by TechCrunch. Benchmark Capital, an early investor, contributed at least $225 million to the round. The firm raised two separate vehicles to facilitate the investment.
Meanwhile, an AI startup founder is organizing a "March for Billionaires" in San Francisco to protest California's proposed wealth tax, as detailed by TechCrunch. The event, scheduled for this Saturday, aims to highlight the potential negative consequences of the tax. The organizer stated the march is "definitely not a joke."
HBO's "Industry" is currently showcasing a storyline about a fraudulent fintech company called Tender, according to TechCrunch. The show follows Harper Stern as she investigates the company's fabricated numbers and fake revenue.
Apple is exploring the integration of AI chatbots into CarPlay, according to Bloomberg, as reported by TechCrunch. This would allow users to interact with their favorite AI chatbots through their vehicle's infotainment system. The next-generation CarPlay Ultra will further enhance this integration by including the central touchscreen display and digital dashboard.
