AI Backlash Threatens Adoption, Investors Keep Betting Big

AI backlash is mounting—with protests, worker strikes, and local resistance to data centers that could slow adoption and raise electricity costs—yet investors are still pouring money into AI companies. SpaceX warns that regulatory or societal restrictions could hinder deploying AI tech, while Morgan Stanley flags job losses and higher power bills as political headwinds and Jefferies notes data-center pushback. Samsung's labor dispute over AI profits shows how worker demands may spill into markets. In short, public resistance could slow long-term adoption and tighten regulation, but for now the AI money machine keeps churning.

Nintendo Stock Dips as Switch 2 Price Increase Sparks Investor Debate

Nintendo’s stock fell about 8.4% to ¥7,020 after news of a Switch 2 price hike, the lowest since late 2023, highlighting investor caution over profitability and anticipated weaker second‑year sales. The hike takes effect May 25 in Japan and September 1 in the West; despite a forecast of roughly 16.5 million Switch 2 units sold in FY2027, market sentiment is split between views that higher prices are needed and concerns about dampened demand. Bloomberg notes some investors welcomed the price move to offset rising component costs, while others worry it could hurt sales, and Nintendo continues to count on upcoming titles like Pokémon Winds & Waves to bolster future sales.
