GIBBI View: This was a great week because there were great games and there were a lot of goals scored, something that it's common in the first weeks of each tournament; let's see if this great level continues during the tournament
Meta Acquires Voice Startup Play AI (Tech Crunch)
Meta has acquired Play AI, a startup that uses AI to generate human-sounding voices
Meta’s memo reportedly said that PlayAI’s “work in creating natural voices, along with a platform for easy voice creation, is a great match for our work and road map, across AI Characters, Meta AI, Wearables and audio content creation”
The company has been making big investments in AI, including aggressive recruiting from OpenAI and a deal with Scale AI that saw the company’s CEO Alexandr Wang joining Meta to lead a new group focused on superintelligence.
GIBBI View: Meta and Zuckerberg have been very agressive this year bringing the best talent available to their AI Companies and in the same time buying AI startups, to offer the best AI products and win the AI Race; let’s see if this strategy will work for them
Space X Might Invest $2 Billion in xAI (Tech Crunch)
According to a Wall Street Journal report that cites investors close to SpaceX, the company has agreed to invest $2 billion in Musk’s AI startup xAI. The investment would reportedly be part of the $5 billion equity raise (along with another $5 billion in debt) that Morgan Stanley announced at the end of June
This would be SpaceX’s first investment in xAI, and one of its biggest investments in another company. The WSJ says SpaceX already uses xAI’s chatbot Grok to power customer service for its Starlink internet service, with plans for more partnerships
Musk has not been shy about using his various companies to support each other, for example merging xAI with X (formerly Twitter) earlier this year. And Tesla is bringing Grok to its vehicles
GIBBI View: I’ve been written here and X that it’s never great to bet against Elon, because Elon always find out the ways to make it, but still I’m scared that Elon is gaining more power everyday
Jannik Sinner Won His First Wimbledon (GIBBI’s Editorial Staff)
Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in 4 sets (4-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4) and Sinner won his first Wimbledon tournament, and took revenge of what happened last month in Roland Garros Final
Sinner won his 6th grand slam title, where he’s won 2 Australia Open titles, 1 U.S. Open title and 1 Wimbledon title; Sinner has won two of the three grand slam titles this year (Australia 2025, Wimbledon 2025)
Sinner and Alcaraz has won the last 7 grand slams of the last two season, and it looks that Sinner and Alcaraz are the new “TWO BIG GUYS” in this tennis era and will dominate it
GIBBI View: I never expected that Sinner was going to recover for the Roland Garros 2025 Final’s loss against Alcaraz, where Sinner was two sets up and was one point to win the championship and lost that game, but Sinner showed that he and Alcaraz will dominate tennis world for the next 10 years; let’s seee if any of these two players could “break” Djokovic’s title record (24 grand slam titles)
Chelsea Won FIFA Club World Cup 2025 (GIBBI)
Chelsea defeated PSG 3-0 in FIFA Club World Cup 2025 Final, and with this victory Chelsea won this new title and will be the champion for the next 4 years
Chelsea dominated the game from the beginning to the end, where Cole Palmer was the MVP of the game and the tournament, where Chelsea was the underdog and win this game and tournament against all the bets
Chelsea finished the season with two trophies: Confederations League & FIFA Club World Cup, and also qualify to UEFA Champions League 2025-2026 season, and Chelsea will want to win the Premier League
GIBBI View: Chelsea took advantage of play in the “easiest” part of the bracket and qualified to the Final, where Chelsea played its best game of the tournament and in 45 minutes won the game and title; I still think that the best team in the world is PSG and this just was a “bad” game
