Russian Defense Ministry: Russian forces destroyed 61 Ukrainian drones at night.June 8, according to the Financial Times, Apple is facing difficulties in upgrading Siri, the iPhones artificial intelligence voice assistant, and investors are pessimistic about whether it can release major AI-related news at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week. Some former Apple employees said that Apple encountered technical challenges when trying to use cutting-edge large language models to improve Siris understanding and response to voice commands. Former executives pointed out that the integration of functions based on the existing architecture has led to a lot of bugs, which is not an advantage compared with competitors (such as OpenAI) who build generative AI voice assistants from scratch. "Its obvious that you cant completely revolutionize Siri with so-called hill climbing incremental development." He emphasized that gradual product improvements alone are not enough to achieve a real breakthrough. He also added that it is obvious that Apple has fallen on this road. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee said that investors now have a clear idea of what the so-called good news may be. They would rather Apple deliver on the promises it made last year first.On June 8, The Washington Post quoted people familiar with the matter as saying that after Trump and Musk quarreled, representatives of NASA and the Pentagon called on Space Xs competitors to speed up the development of alternative rockets and spacecraft. The report said, "Government officials contacted at least three commercial aerospace companies: Rocket Lab, Stoke Space and Blue Origin to understand the status of their rockets and when they can be used for government missions." Musk previously stated that he might stop the flight of the Dragon spacecraft. This will prevent NASA from sending astronauts to and from the International Space Station. Musk later gave up the threat. However, his statement caused concern among NASA officials who handed over the safety of astronauts to Space X. The Pentagon also relies heavily on the company to launch its key satellites.US Defense Secretary Hegseth: If violence in Los Angeles continues to escalate, active-duty troops will also be mobilized.According to AFP: The US government has deployed 2,000 National Guard soldiers to the Los Angeles protests.

Monday night, Novavax (NASDAQ:NVAX), an American biotechnology company, reported earnings after the market closed.


The company's loss per share was $6.53, which was $12.03 worse than the average estimate of $5.50 and climbed from $4.75 in the same quarter of 2021. Vaccine sales declined, resulting in a revenue fall of $186 million year-over-year, from $298 million in the same time in 2021, and substantially below the average expectation of $1.02 billion.


The loss in revenue was attributed to a decrease in activity under the company's contracts with the U.S. government and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations.


"We are pleased with our achievements since the beginning of the second quarter, which include bringing our vaccine to the U.S. market and launching immunizations," said Stanley Erck, president and chief executive officer of Novavax. Since the beginning of the third quarter, we have delivered more than 23 million doses of our vaccine and have gained significant momentum for the remainder of 2022 and into 2023.


Novavax reduced their sales projection for the entire year of 2022 from $4 billion to $5 billion to $2 billion to $2.3 billion, which is also below the $4.27 billion consensus estimate.
