New: I wrote about the nuclear push coming from an energy-constrained AI industry, something that’s importantly coupled with an increasingly de-regulatory environment — often mirroring the language coming directly from these corporations — coming from the White House.

A.I. Goes Nuclear!
OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft are betting big on nuclear energy to power their A.I. data centers. But weakened regulations may create risks, nuclear safety experts warn.

It was a pleasure speaking with @puck.news' A.I. correspondent @iankrietzberg.bsky.social about how @aloeinc.bsky.social's AI leapt ahead to state-of-the-art – and in doing so ushered in the “Dawn of the Self-Building A.I.”
Dawn of the Self-Building A.I.
News and notes on Aloe, a buzzy new entrant in the A.I. race, which is seemingly capable of building, vetting, and using tools to more reliably answer user queries.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*
I spoke with analyst Gil Luria at D.A. Davidson, asking if the capital existed to build OpenAI's promised 17GW of data centers.
He said "of course there isn't enough capital for all of this," but "enough capital to do this for a at least a little while longer."

Great piece on the geopolitical AI competition getting distilled to a rush for AI adoption while ignoring other societal values. As I told Ian, American leadership in AI is not the same thing as driving larger profits for American companies
In my latest for Puck, I dug into at least one aspect of the development of AI that feels so distinct: the fact that governments around the world are pushing really hard, not just to advance the state of AI, but to drive adoption of it
