Artificial intelligence chipsets remained a hot commodity during the company’s latest quarter, but demand wasn’t quite feverish enough to ease recent worries that AI craze may be fading. The results announced Wednesday were hotly anticipated because Nvidia has emerged as key barometer of a two-year-old AI boom that has been propelling the stock market to new heights. In recent weeks, research reports and comments by prominent tech executives have raised investor fears that the AI mania has been overblown. Even so, Nvidia’s profit of $26.4 billion was higher than analysts predicted.

A shooter opened fire during Mass at a Minneapolis Catholic school Wednesday morning, killing two children and injuring 17 other people before killing himself. The school was evacuated, and students’ families were later directed to a “reunification zone” at the school. The shooting is the latest act of gun violence in Minneapolis. Gov. Tim Walz posted on the social platform X, “From the officers responding, to the clergy and teachers providing comfort, to the hospital staff saving lives, we will get through this together.” 

Julius Malema, the leader of a small opposition party, was found guilty Wednesday by an equality court over comments he made at a political rally in 2022 when he referred to a confrontation he had with a white man, then told supporters “you must never be scared to kill” in the name of revolution. Mr. Malema featured prominently in a video President Trump played in the Oval Office during a meeting with South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa in May. The video was used to confront Mr. Ramaphosa with false claims that the South African government was allowing the widespread killing of white farmers to seize their land. The South African government says the U.S. criticism is based on misinformation.

A report found that people connected to Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland. Danish broadcaster DR reported Wednesday that at least three Americans have been involved. They allegedly compiled lists of U.S.-friendly Greenlanders and tried to influence local politics. The Danish Security and Intelligence Service said it is strengthening its efforts and presence in Greenland in cooperation with authorities there. Both Denmark and Greenland, a semi-autonomous Danish territory, have publicly said the territory is not for sale, despite Mr. Trump’s interest in taking control of it.
