On July 3rd, analyst Adam Button reported that, citing an internal all-hands meeting at Meta Platforms (META.O), CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted that AI agent development has fallen short of expectations over the past four months. Meta has been under intense scrutiny this week due to recent reports that the company is considering selling excess computing power, leading to market speculation that it may be withdrawing from the basic modeling track. Meta has also recently been impacted by layoffs and job reassignments affecting its corporate culture, and has attempted to soothe employee morale with relatively superficial measures such as providing snacks (to appease) and hosting hackathons (to boost morale). At the meeting, Zuckerberg admitted that the departmental restructuring "could have been done more efficiently"; executives had worried earlier in the year that "AI action wasnt fast enough." However, Zuckerberg is clearly not ready to back down, stating that the best outcome of the restructuring "has not yet been achieved," and still believes that long-term trends align with the restructuring direction. This doesnt sound like a surrender. Following the latest media reports, Metas stock price initially came under pressure but subsequently rebounded.Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO: Believes that the long-term trend still aligns with the basic framework of departmental restructuring.According to The Information: Tesla (TSLA.O) has capped employee AI spending at $200 per week.Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO: The companys bet on restructuring has "not yet paid off."Meta Platforms (META.O) CEO: In early 2026, executives were concerned that they were "not moving fast enough" in the field of artificial intelligence.

Biden Reintroduces His Campaign for a Sustainable Aviation Fuel Tax Credit

"We brought together government agencies, aircraft manufacturers, airlines, fuel suppliers, and airports," Biden said at an Iowa event, saying that the effort will result in "advanced, cleaner, and more sustainable aviation fuels for America."


George Novak, President and CEO of the National Air Carrier Association, commended Biden for "recognizing the essential role that sustainable aviation fuel will play in further decreasing the airline industry's carbon impact."


Airlines are under pressure from environmental organizations to reduce their carbon footprints and have committed to using more environmentally friendly aircraft fuel (SAF).


Biden mentioned American Airlines' (NASDAQ:AAL) and United Airlines' support for sustainable aviation fuel on Tuesday, stating that biofuels were critical for aviation's decarbonization.


"That is the path we will take," Biden said.


The attempt to expedite carbon reductions in aviation is part of Biden's goal of achieving net carbon neutrality in the United States by 2050.


It comes as the US and Europe seek to increase production of SAF, which is currently produced in trace amounts from feedstocks such as discarded oil and may cost up to five times as much as normal jet fuel.


In September, the White House announced that three US government agencies would launch a challenge to supply at least 3 billion gallons of SAF per year by 2030 and sufficient SAF by 2050 "to meet 100 percent of aviation fuel demand, which is currently estimated to be around 35 billion gallons per year."


Airlines for America, a trade association that represents American, United, and other airlines, lauded Biden's request for a blender's tax credit and the $3 billion target that has bipartisan support in Congress. The association said that the credit "would contribute in the development of the embryonic market for SAF by providing a financial incentive for fuel producers to incorporate more SAF into the gasoline supply at a price that would encourage airlines to adopt it."
