In Other News: McDonald’s Bet On China, Spy Dolphins, And AI Layoffs Vs. Stocks

.

CNBC In Other News brings you stories that missed the spotlight. AI-driven layoffs have become a defining theme across the tech industry over the past year, with some sources estimating more than 112,000 U.S. jobs being lost to AI since the start of 2025. While major companies like HP and Amazon have often framed these cuts as a way to boost efficiency and shift focus toward new technologies, investors themselves don’t appear convinced that these layoffs will improve companies’ bottom lines in the long run. Software companies like Twilio and Datadog are starting to prove their case as winners in artificial intelligence. Investors say the performance from Datadog and Twilio underscores how companies that can deploy AI-native solutions while also articulating their path to monetization can ease disruption fears, for now. CNBC’s Seema Moody explains. Since 1959, the U.S. Navy’s Marine Mammal Program has trained bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions to detect mines and other underwater threats. Reporter Sophie Caldwell spoke with Scott Savitz, senior engineer at global policy think tank Rand Corporation and an expert on mine countermeasures, to understand the history, challenges and possibilities of marine mammals in the military. While many foreign consumer brands in China, including Starbucks, Nike, and LVMH, face slowing growth and tougher competition, McDonald’s is expanding aggressively. The company plans to open 1,000 new stores a year and reach 10,000 locations in China by 2028. About half of McDonald’s new stores last year opened in China. The company also recently bought back a stake from Carlyle Group after previously selling control of its China business to Carlyle and a Chinese state-owned firm. CNBC’s Eunice Yoon looks at why McDonald’s continues to bet big on China.

Note from Zennie62Media and ZennieReport.com. A vlog by the YouTube channel named in the video’s upper left corner and serves as the original blog post for this content. This video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”.

The uploaded video is from the Zennie62 YouTube channel. It is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the nflnewsbyzennie62.com site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World.

Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution.

We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this approach, the problem is far less, though by no means solved.

Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
