Olen tullut. Silloin aloin mennä myös.

Minä menin niin nopeasti, että jätin ihmisiä, jotka menivät ennen minua. Minä jätin heitä takaisin.

They did not deny that recruits built drones at the site. That report by Mayeni Jones. Still to come. Like every bubble, it's hard to know when you're in one until it's popped. I think that's why there's so much trepidation around Silicon Valley right now. It's been dubbed the fourth industrial revolution, but can America's AI bubble last?

Hyvät kollegat, mikä hämminki on sloganissa We have little prizes? Eikö meillä pitäisi olla Prisma Prizes? Little Prizes on parempi. Laita joo toi sloganiksi. Ei huono. Prisma Selection, Little Prizes. Hyvää stormausta, jengi. Prisma. Big Selection, Little Prizes.

Brazil's president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has said his government will seek an independent investigation into a police raid in Rio de Janeiro that left more than 120 people dead. Four officers and at least 117 other people were killed when police raided two of Rio's largest favelas last week.

In what they said was an operation against a notorious criminal gang, but which some families and human rights groups have condemned as a massacre. From Rio, here's our South America correspondent, Ioni Wells.

Judges order was for arrest warrants to be served, not a mass killing. And yet there was a mass killing. I think it's important to verify the circumstances under which it took place. The hard fact is that in terms of the death toll, some may see the operation as a success. But from the standpoint of state action, I believe it was disastrous.

He described it as a massacre and said an investigation was needed to verify the conditions under which it occurred. He was speaking in the Amazon city of Belém, where Brazil is about to gather world leaders for the COP30 climate summit. Ioni Wells. An American man who faked his own death and fled to Scotland after being accused of rape has been sentenced to at least seven years in prison in the US state of Utah.

America's tech giants, Google, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta, have collectively invested hundreds of billions of dollars this year into artificial intelligence, specifically into new data centers needed to power what they're calling a fourth industrial revolution.

It's largely responsible for most of America's GDP growth this year. But can it last? In the last few weeks, a growing number of the world's leading figures in finance have suggested that AI stocks are unrealistically inflated in value. Could this be turning into a massive economic bubble, at risk of bursting, and threatening the global economy? Ed Butler's been hearing the arguments from some who are concerned.

As everyone in Silicon Valley remembers, we have been here before. This was March 2000, when many of the first generation of heavily backed internet firms were swamped in an avalanche of red as investors lost faith. Five trillion dollars were wiped off the US tech index over two years.

As shares crumbled. Professor of finance John Danielson at the London School of Economics has made a career out of studying economic bubbles. He says that new technologies have a way of attracting too much hype and investment. What happens is we all get swept up in the bubble. Prices go up, we buy and we get wealthier and that makes us feel smart and makes us feel rich. It validates our beliefs about ourselves.

Joka kerta, kun meillä on hienoja uusia teknologioita, tiedämme, että jotkut yritykset tulevat olemaan huonosti rikkoja. Jotkut yritykset tulevat omistamaan tämän alueen. Ja tietenkin se tarkoittaa, että paljon ihmisiä haluaa olla osa sitä. Joten me yritämme nähdä vahvistelijaa, mutta tietenkin useimmat teemme ison ongelman. AI-järjestelmällä jotkut tulevat dominoimaan tätä vuosien ja kuukausien jälkeen. Ollaanko ne nykyiset yritykset? Minä tavallaan yllätän sitä.

While artificial intelligence technology offers world-changing promise, critics say the actual economic returns are still unproven. Already eye-watering sums, hundreds of billions of dollars, have been committed to new projects like this data center in Louisiana.

Total AI investment could reach $5 trillion by 2030, but for now it's estimated that 95% of companies currently trying to deploy AI are not actually seeing any profit from it. Of course, not everyone's a pessimist.

Katsotaanpa, olen sovittanut tekstikkoja 90-luvulla, ja tämä ei ole järjestelmä. Tämä on järjestelmäkysymys, jota emme ole koskaan nähneet. Investoinnin ja AI-enthusiastin Dan Ives, joka kärsii näisäisiä, kuten hän kutsuu heidät.

Whichever side you're on in this debate, the problem is partly the complex nature of the financing of some of the new investments. Tech giants are pumping billions into each other right now to support the sector's growth. And that makes it hard to identify what, if anything, is genuinely profitable. The confusion is neatly summarised by the BBC's North America technology correspondent, Lily Jamali.

Like every bubble, it's hard to know when you're in one until it's popped. I think that's why there's so much trepidation around Silicon Valley right now. The BBC's Lily Jamali ending that report by Ed Butler. And you can hear more on that story on Business Daily, wherever you get your BBC podcasts.

And finally, they are some of the most celebrated areas of real estate in the French capital Paris. And now the city's residents are being offered a chance to occupy their own part of them. I'm talking about three of the most famous and most overcrowded cemeteries, including Père Lachaise, the resting place for such artistic superstars as the singers Edith Piaf, Jim Morrison, the playwright Oscar Wilde and the writer Marcel Proust.
