Bitunix Analyst: The Fed Faces a New Dilemma of "No Rate Hike, No-Go, but Rate Hike, Too Painful"
June 4: The key driver of global asset prices isn’t whether a U.S.-Iran war will break out anymore—it’s the new inflationary pressure spurred by the conflict, new tariffs, and the AI investment frenzy.
Per the latest Federal Reserve Beige Book and official comments, the U.S. economy is showing a classic “two-sided economy” dynamic. On one side: May’s private-sector payrolls rose by 122,000, AI data center construction remains robust, Alphabet upped its fundraising to $84.75 billion, and SpaceX’s valuation is nearing $1.8 trillion—signaling corporate and tech capital expenditure is holding steady. On the flip side: consumer confidence has plumbed historic lows, real wages are starting to shrink, low- and middle-income household spending is sharply softening, and some companies are delaying parts of their investment plans.

British Labour Party MP Sues xAI, Accusing Grok of Being Used to Generate Deepfake Pornographic Content
June 4 — Jess Asato, a UK Labour Party Member of Parliament, has filed a lawsuit in the UK High Court against Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, alleging its Grok chatbot was used to generate deepfake pornographic and sexually explicit content involving her.
Asato states that after she publicly criticized Grok in January, users exploited the model to create and spread fake images of her in a bikini, plus a deepfake video depicting a sexual assault scenario. She argues this capability to produce such content was not an abuse of the tool, but a deliberate design choice by xAI.
