Good evening!
Today is National Clean Your Desktop Day…for you. No one tell that to the screenshots on my desktop 🤫
Here are the 7 things you missed today:
1. 👀 Nvidia, TSMC show first U.S.-made Blackwell wafer
In a milestone for domestic chipmaking, the companies unveiled a Blackwell-generation wafer produced at TSMC’s Arizona facility as AI demand surges. Nvidia said the move “onshores” key parts of the AI stack and strengthens the U.S. supply chain. TSMC noted its Arizona sites will make 2nm–4nm and A16-class technologies used for AI and high-performance computing. The reveal followed TSMC’s raised full-year revenue outlook after record results.

3. 📉 ChatGPT’s mobile app growth slows down
Fresh data from Apptopia shows that ChatGPT’s mobile momentum is cooling after explosive early-year growth. Global downloads have dropped for several consecutive months, with October pacing 8.1% lower than September so far. In the U.S., the average time spent per daily active user has fallen about 22.5% since July, while sessions per user are down roughly 20.7%, signaling lighter day-to-day use. Despite the decline, ChatGPT still attracts millions of daily installs, keeping it among the most popular AI apps worldwide. (TechCrunch)

5. 📈 Wall Street ends higher as investors parse Trump’s tariff remarks
By the close, major indexes advanced: S&P 500 +0.53%, Nasdaq +0.52%, Dow +0.52%. Sentiment improved as regional-bank earnings eased credit fears and Trump said a 100% China tariff would not be “sustainable,” even as he blamed Beijing over rare-earths tensions. The S&P 1500 Regional Banks index rebounded +1.8% after Thursday’s slide. Eli Lilly fell after drug-price comments, while Tesla rose and Apple edged higher. (Reuters)
6. 💬 WhatsApp to cap outbound messages without replies in anti-spam test
To curb spam, the service is testing monthly limits on how many messages people and businesses can send to unknown contacts without getting a response. Exact caps aren’t disclosed yet; warnings will alert senders as they near the threshold. WhatsApp says typical users won’t hit the limit and the experiment rolls out to multiple countries in the coming weeks. The effort builds on 2024 initiatives restricting business marketing blasts and broadcast sends. (eMarketer)
7. 🔒 Meta previews new parental controls for teen AI chats
Ahead of a broader rollout next year, Meta outlined tools letting parents block specific AI characters, turn off AI-character chats, and view topics teens discuss with AI characters and Meta AI. The controls will start on Instagram and launch in English across the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia. Meta says the features follow a PG-13 content standard for teen AI experiences. The company positions the changes as part of ongoing teen-safety upgrades. (TechCrunch)
