Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang predicts AI will not only work alongside people, but also go through a hiring and orientation process to absorb a company’s culture.⁠
⁠
In an interview with Citadel Securities last week, the 62-year-old billionaire cofounder of Nvidia estimated the potential market for agentic AI labor could be trillions of dollars, as digital nurses, accountants, lawyers, and marketers join the workforce.⁠
⁠
“I wouldn’t be surprised if you license some and you hire some, depending on the quality and depending on the deep expertise,” Huang added. “So future workforces in enterprise will be a combination of humans and digital humans.”

For employees worried that AI agents could take their jobs, one of the field’s leading founders says the technology is still far from perfect. Andrej Karpathy, co-founder of OpenAI said it’s not the “year of agents”—and while he uses AI agent tools like Claude and Codex, they’re still way behind the work of humans.⁠
⁠
“They’re cognitively lacking and it’s just not working. It will take about a decade to work through all of those issues,” Karpathy said, in an episode of the Dwarkesh Podcast.⁠
⁠
“They just don’t work. They don’t have enough intelligence, they’re not multimodal enough, they can’t do computer use and all this stuff,” he added. “They don’t have continual learning. You can’t just tell them something and they’ll remember it.”

In an era of AI avatars and digital overload, something as simple as a handwritten note can feel like a relic of the past. In fact, many Gen Zers can’t even read cursive.⁠
⁠
But for First Watch CEO Chris Tomasso, old-fashioned notes of appreciation are a ritual.⁠
⁠
The leader of the $1 billion-a-year in revenue breakfast and lunch chain takes time each month to handwrite congratulations to cooks and dishwashers celebrating major milestones, like 10, 20, or even 30 years with the company. With more than 15,000 employees, Tomasso has penned over 500 notes—and believes the small gesture has an outsized impact.⁠
⁠
“I just love people that pick their lane, they love it, and they don’t want to do anything else,” Tomasso told Fortune. “They want to be the best dishwasher they can, and so I want to thank and reward loyalty, longevity, [and] the contributions that they make to the company.”

Jamie Dimon pulled out the stops to lure bankers back into the office—and to incentivize them to stay late.⁠
⁠
JPMorgan Chase’s new $3 billion skyscraper on 270 Park Ave in Midtown Manhattan is packed with amenities designed to make full-time office workers actually want to return to the office, including 19 restaurants and an assortment of coffee shops that employees can order from in a building-specific app.⁠
⁠
The new 60-story headquarters opens this week, and at full capacity, it can hold 10,000 employees. The tower is also outfitted with a gym, a company store, and biometric access—and it’s open all hours of the day. David Arena, the head of global corporate real estate at the bank, told CNBC the new HQ will serve as a blueprint for the global bank’s future offices worldwide.

Due to tariff implications, American consumers have been more wallet-conscious, hunting for the best deals and ways to save a buck. ⁠
⁠
This is particularly true for low- and middle-income consumers who have been bearing the brunt of tariffs, according to a recent S&P analysis of 9,000 companies worldwide. Best Buy CEO Corie Barry even told Fortune at its Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, D.C. last week that the “dispersion between the high-income earners and the low-income earners” is what “keeps me up at night.” And, a recent Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs poll found high grocery prices persist as a fear for many households. ⁠
⁠
But mega-retailer Walmart is trying to buck that trend ahead of the holidays by offering a low-cost Thanksgiving meal basket—and it’s even cheaper than last year, according to the company’s U.S. president and CEO John Furner.

The J.M. Smucker Co. is suing Trader Joe’s over an alleged Uncrustables knockoff.

Smucker’s says it has spent a billion dollars developing and marketing the thaw-to-eat peanut butter and jelly sandwich over the last two decades.

The food maker alleges that Trader Joe’s violated its various trademarks, including the image of “a round crustless sandwich with a bite taken out showing filling on the inside.”

YouTuber hankgreen warns that the creator lifestyle can be far less glamorous than what it may seem. ⁠
⁠
In reality, it’s full of hard work that, in many ways, even mirrors a traditional 9-to-5 job.⁠
⁠
“The vast majority of your life is typing. It is not being a YouTuber,” Green told Fortune. “I’m writing videos. Like, I sit down at a keyboard and I write almost all of the time.”⁠
⁠
Many young people may be too distracted by the likes of MrBeast, who dropped out of college and turned a passion for video creation into a billion-dollar global empire. But aspiring for fame alone, Green cautions, isn’t a strategy.

As the government shutdown enters its third week, air traffic controllers are bracing for financial uncertainty: potentially weeks of work without a paycheck.⁠
⁠
Deemed essential workers, air traffic controllers are expected to work during the government shutdown that began Oct. 1, but are not being compensated during the funding lapse. They received a partial paycheck on Oct. 14 for work performed before the shutdown, but will receive a $0 paycheck for their work over the next two weeks.⁠
⁠
Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), told Fortune the lack of compensation has heaped financial pressures on workers, who are already working six days a week for a total of 60 hours.

The billionaire club is an exclusive one. But an even more distinct group is the billionaires who give away a high percentage of their wealth.⁠
⁠
That includes investor and philanthropist George Soros (an estimated 76% of his wealth has been donated), novelist and ex-wife of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos MacKenzie Scott (about 50%-60%), investor Warren Buffett (30% so far, but has pledged 99%), and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and philanthropist Melinda French Gates (20% so far, but has also pledged 99%). ⁠
⁠
And now, a Houston billionaire couple is joining the ranks of these famous businesspeople and philanthropists, pledging to donate the vast majority of their wealth. Rich and Nancy Kinder told Houston news station ABC13 they’re giving away 95% of their estimated $11 billion to local charities.

After months of turbulence, LVMH’s Bernard Arnault is the latest businessman to rise up the Bloomberg Billionaires Index after his company’s breakout earnings report.⁠
⁠
Between October 14 and 15, Arnault’s net worth surged from $173 billion to $192 billion. That is a staggering $19 billion overnight gain.⁠
⁠
The wealth upswing propelled him from being the eighth richest person in the world to the seventh spot. And it’s likely a welcome boom after Arnault’s net worth has been fluctuating heavily throughout 2025, with the LVMH CEO bleeding billions since March.

Alongside Palantir’s financial results, CEO Alex Karp fills the letters with the sorts of topics most executives bend over backwards to avoid: global politics, philosophy, or even religion.⁠
⁠
In the 14 quarterly shareholder letters he has published, Karp has pilloried Silicon Valley business leaders (“technocratic elites”), technology skeptics (“critics and bystanders”), and woke culture (the “shallow and ritualistic shaming of others in the public sphere that masquerades as thought”).⁠
⁠
The letters have piqued interest from investors since the beginning, though they have gained much more significant traction in the last several months, as Palantir’s stock has soared to record highs and Karp has gained newfound notoriety as a result.

While Wall Street and Silicon Valley have been piling into AI stocks despite warnings of a bubble, Warren Buffett and his successor, Greg Abel, have been looking further afield for investment inspiration.⁠
⁠
Some of Berkshire’s largest investments this year have been in brands which likely qualify as essential for U.S. shoppers—or reflect their long term goals.⁠
⁠
The conglomerate has notably increased stakes in homebuilder Lennar, energy giant Chevron, and beverage company Constellation Brands, while reducing exposure to financial institutions.
