GIBBI View: I still don’t understand why Liga MX decided to put 5 games in saturday and 3 games in the same time (saturday at 19:00 ET), and fans can’t watch all the games; My Predictions: Necaxa, Chivas, Cruz Azul, Tuzos, Toluca and Rayados win, the rest of the games finish in a tie

In general, there’s a consensus that the rankings are not indicative of a show’s success or overall audience. All of this speaks to overall murkiness around metrics in the fast-growing industry and the possibility that they might be manipulated
Spotify’s top podcast chart is updated daily and determined “by combination of overall follower counts and the number of recent unique listeners,” according to the company. Apple, meanwhile, says its charts are updated throughout the day based on listening, follows and completion rate
Meanwhile, YouTube, which is the most popular podcasting platform, launched its own top podcast charts in May and ranks shows weekly by watch time
GIBBI View: Remember that here in my blog, I record videos/podcast about my favorite sports teams and important sport events, and in the same time I upload the same videos/podcast in my spotify an youtube channels

X has expanded the availability of its AI-powered auto-translation option for posts, with a broad range of languages now supported by Grok translation
X actually began integrating Grok translation back in June, phasing out Google Translate as its primary provider, and making its own AI system its top translation source for posts
But ideally, the latest Grok translation process provides a better user experience, and gives X another way to tap into the value of its evolving AI system
GIBBI View: In this moment I’m working in a similar project that I called GIBBI Speak, an AI Translation App to communicate people that don’t speak the same languages, where remember that last month I applied to YC Fall 2025 with this startup, so let’s see if I’m selected

Cohere, a Toronto-headquartered AI company, has raised $500 million in new funding at a $6.8 billion valuation
That’s more than triple the startup’s valuation two years ago and more than a $1 billion increase since 2024, the latest sign that AI companies continue to outpace the broader struggling VC ecosystem in step-ups
Other AI companies have seen even more dramatic valuation growth. Since 2023 Anthropic’s valuation has grown more than tenfold, from $4.5 billion to $61.5 billion. OpenAI has also seen similar valuation growth in the same timeframe, from $29 billion in 2023 to now being valued at $300 billion
GIBBI View: I still think that we’re in a AI bubble and that if AI Startups don’t start to give the expected results in the beginning of next year, several AI startups will start to fall and disappear, or we’re going to reach AGI in less than 3 years

In a break from tradition, the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will sell naming rights for event venues. LA28, the planning committee for the Games, announced Thursday that it had deals with Comcast and Honda to name the venues for squash and volleyball, respectively
LA28 is expecting to bring in $2 billion in sponsorship revenue by the end of the year, according to a source familiar with the committee’s finances
The committee said that it will only offer naming rights to the existing corporate sponsors. So if it can’t strike a deal with Intuit for the basketball arena, for example, it will remain officially unnamed during the Games. The Olympics will be held from July 14–30, 2028, while the Paralympics will be from August 15–27
GIBBI View: The Olympics Games are business and you need to generate revenues to survive and continue making these games; I always think that the Olympics Games, and World Cups (of any sports) should be played ONLY in the developed countries that have the infrastructure and resources to host them
