⚡️ Investor turns $225M into $5.5B betting on AI power bottleneck
Leopold Aschenbrenner explained the logic behind his largest bet. His Bloom Energy position alone is now close to $2B after Oracle’s 2.8 GW fuel cell deal.
🖱 2022: GPT-4 cluster used ~10 MW and cost ~$500M
🖱 2024: ~100 MW, around 100,000 GPUs, cost in the billions
🖱 2026: ~1 GW, comparable to a nuclear reactor
🖱 2028: projected ~10 GW
🖱 2030: projected ~100 GW, over 20% of US electricity output
AI compute has been scaling roughly every 12–18 months. Training is only part of the demand, inference adds multiples on top.
US electricity production grew only ~5% over the last decade. Grid constraints, transformer shortages, and delayed data centers are already visible.
The bet: generate power directly at data centers with fuel cells, bypassing the grid.
The constraint is shifting from compute to electricity.

📱 Snap cuts 1,000 jobs as AI replaces routine work
Snap will lay off about 1,000 employees, around 16% of staff, and close more than 300 open roles. The move follows pressure from activist investor Irenic Capital, which holds about 2.5%.
The company says AI now generates over 65% of new code, allowing smaller teams to handle core work. Snap expects more than $500M in annual cost savings by the second half of 2026.
The cuts come as Snap continues investing in products like its AR glasses, which have already cost over $3.5B and remain under scrutiny.

🚀🔋 Alphabet could make $100B on SpaceX IPO stake
Alphabet’s early investment in SpaceX may turn into a $100B windfall. A new filing shows Google held 6.11% at the end of 2025, likely diluted to around 5% after the xAI merger.
At a $2T IPO valuation, that stake would be worth about $100B. Even a 0.05% holding could make an investor a billionaire at that level.
SpaceX is targeting a listing that could raise up to $75B, potentially the largest IPO ever.

🚖 Uber breaks its asset-light model with $10B robotaxi push
Uber built its business on not owning assets. Cars were never on its balance sheet, and drivers handled everything themselves. Now that model is changing.
The company is committing $10B to robotaxi development and fleet purchases, with another $7.5B reserved for expansion. The plan is to deploy thousands of autonomous vehicles as a starting point.
Autonomy forces a different structure. To run robotaxis, Uber needs to own and operate the fleet.

💻️ Jensen Huang says China can build Claude-level AI and calls for cooperation
In a new https://youtu.be/Hrbq66XqtCo?si=rbyHvlHZxaoKUpqq with Dwarkesh Patel, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang said China already has enough compute and energy to train models at the level of Claude Mythos. The AI race is shifting, and the US needs to stay open while holding its lead.
Export restrictions became a key factor. Limits on chip supply pushed China to accelerate its own ecosystem, including Huawei and SMIC, increasing independence instead of slowing progress.
Demand for TPU and Trainium is largely tied to Anthropic. Early deals with Amazon and Google locked the company into their infrastructure, creating artificial demand for these chips. Nvidia did not invest at that stage, which Huang called a missed opportunity.
The balance between policy and technology is starting to shape the market.

🚀 Amazon buys Globalstar for $11.6B to build direct-to-device satellite network
Amazon will acquire Globalstar for about $11.6B, offering $90 per share in cash or stock. The deal implies a 117% premium and is expected to close in 2027.
The acquisition adds satellites, spectrum licenses, and infrastructure to Amazon’s Leo network. The goal is to launch direct-to-device connectivity starting in 2028. Globalstar currently operates about 24 satellites and already powers Apple’s Emergency SOS, with Apple holding a 20% stake.
Amazon has launched over 240 satellites so far, still far behind Starlink with more than 10,000 satellites and over 9M users.
The deal gives Amazon both capacity and spectrum to compete in direct-to-cell services.

⚔️ OpenAI claims Anthropic overstates revenue by about $8B
OpenAI says Anthropic inflates its annual run rate, putting the gap at about $8B. The claim surfaced through a leaked internal memo after reports that Anthropic crossed $30B while OpenAI sits around $24–25B.
According to the memo, Anthropic reports gross revenue from partnerships with Google and Amazon instead of net figures. That means cloud provider shares are not deducted, which lifts the headline number.
If adjusted, Anthropic’s run rate would drop below OpenAI’s by a few billion.

🚫 Musk calls Sam Altman “Scam Altman” after claims about OpenAI strategy
Elon Musk publicly called Sam Altman “Scam Altman” following a podcast with journalist Karen Hao, who shared details from her investigation into OpenAI based on 300+ interviews, including 90+ with current and former employees.
Hao claims OpenAI reshaped its messaging in 2015 to align with Musk’s views on AI risk to secure his support.
She also says the company still adjusts how it defines AGI depending on the audience, from government to consumers to partners.
She describes internal tensions around the shift to a for-profit structure, where Altman reportedly persuaded other founders that Musk was too unpredictable to lead, after which Musk left the project.

🤖 Anthropic tests Mythos model, wins court case, moves toward IPO
Leaked documents show Anthropic is developing a new model called Mythos or Capybara. It is expected to be larger, more capable, and more expensive than Opus 4.6.
The company sees a strong jump in coding ability but is concerned about potential use in cyberattacks. Release timing will depend on coordination with security experts.
A court has overturned a Trump-era decision that labeled Anthropic a national security risk, removing pressure on government agencies to cut contracts.
At the same time, Bloomberg reports the company is in talks with Wall Street banks about an IPO planned for October.
Model capability, regulation, and capital markets are converging around the same company.

✈️ Ferrari ships supercars by air as Gulf routes face disruption
Ferrari has started delivering some cars by air to Middle East clients after suspending most sea shipments due to restrictions in the Strait of Hormuz. Air freight now costs 4–5x more than sea transport.
The company builds highly customized supercars, with personalization making up about 20% of its automotive revenue. Wealthy clients in the Gulf are key buyers of these bespoke models.
Air delivery was already used by top clients to get cars faster, and demand continues despite higher costs.

😱 Ark Invest just dropped some wild numbers
In 2025, AI-generated words officially outnumbered words written by humans — for the first time in history. At this pace, AI will surpass the entire 500-year archive of human-written text before 2030.
And it's already reshaping Telegram. Channels are quietly replacing human editors with automated tools — and one of the most interesting examples is https://t.me/morty, built by the https://t.me/maxim team. It finds relevant content on its own, writes it in the channel's voice, and leaves just one thing for the human: hit "Approve".
More media projects are going AI-first. And according to Ark Invest, this is only the beginning.

🍏🔍 Apple gets Gemini access to build its own AI models
Apple gained deep access to Google’s Gemini, including running it inside its own data centers, according to The Information. The deal goes beyond usage and includes the ability to distill smaller models from Gemini.
Through distillation, large models transfer knowledge into compact versions that run faster and require less compute. Apple also has access to Gemini’s internal reasoning steps, which lets smaller models learn how outputs are produced, not just copy results.
This opens a path to on-device AI that approaches large model quality while running directly on iPhone.
Apple is still developing its own models in parallel, while a new Siri with memory and proactive features is expected at WWDC in June.

⚡️ OpenAI moves to buy fusion energy from Altman-backed Helion
OpenAI is in advanced talks to purchase electricity from Helion Energy, a fusion startup backed by Sam Altman.
The deal could secure 12.5% of output, with about 5 GW by 2030 and up to 50 GW by 2035.
Helion is developing fusion power, aiming to generate energy using the same process as the sun. The company is targeting “scientific breakeven,” where output exceeds input, a milestone not yet reached by any private firm.
Altman has stepped down from Helion’s board and is not involved in the negotiations, though he remains an investor.

🎵 Man pleads guilty after making $10M from AI music fraud
Michael Smith, 52, admitted to using AI-generated music and bots to manipulate streaming payouts.
He earned about $10M between 2017 and 2024 and agreed to repay over $8M.
He faces up to 5 years in prison.
He generated hundreds of tracks with obscure names, uploaded them under fake artists, and used bots to create billions of plays. The streams were distributed evenly to avoid detection.
The scheme relied on automated listening to trigger royalty payments. Streaming platforms later flagged the activity and stopped payouts.
The case highlights how AI content combined with bot traffic can exploit payout systems at scale.

The push comes as OpenAI competes with Anthropic for the same partners. Both are using joint ventures to expand into enterprise markets.
Some funds are opting out, citing concerns over long-term returns and flexibility.
AI labs are using capital incentives to lock in distribution at scale.

⚖️ Musk found liable for misleading investors during Twitter deal
A jury ruled that Elon Musk misled investors with tweets in 2022 claiming Twitter had too many fake accounts. The statements were seen as an attempt to push the price down during the acquisition process.
Regulators calculated how the tweets affected the stock price over roughly five months. Compensation will be set later after investor claims.
The potential damages are estimated in the hundreds of millions or billions of dollars.
