Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon on Running a Bank in the Age of AI | Odd Lots (Bloomberg)
|

There's a lot of debate about the future of AI — not just whether it will produce the returns investors are expecting, but also if AI will lead to mass worker displacement. Big banks are the perfect prism through which to explore some of these questions. Not only are they deploying AI very quickly, but they have a wide range of workers who are using the technology, from back-office employees to junior analysts to the most senior investment bankers. We spoke with David Solomon, chairman and CEO of Goldman Sachs, about the impact of AI on the banking business, and why he does not predict a major white collar wipeout. We talk about the outlook for headcount, current conditions in capital markets, and the bank's role in the upcoming SpaceX IPO and Alphabet's historic equity capital raise. He also tells us about his early career in junk bonds and (with his love of electronic dance music) how AI is transforming music production. (Source: Bloomberg)...

Snubbed By SpaceX, Jefferies Now Helping Traders Short World's Biggest IPO
Two weeks ago, when the SpaceX IPO prospectus landed, we observed, that "Goldman is lead left; and pretty much every other bank is on the cover."

Yet one bank was missing: middle-market specialist (with a penchant for junk bonds and lack of due diligence on private credit deals), Jefferies.
Whether it was shunned due to prior bad blood between Elon and bank execs, or something else happened behind the scenes, we don't know but Jefferies bankers did not take it well. And now, SpaceX bears and some of Jefferies' own bosses see the snub that as a unique opportunity to gang up against an IPO that some say could be in for a major reckoning once the stock prices.
According to Bloomberg, hedge funds that aren't sold o...
