One of AI's biggest cheerleaders just issued a warning: the data center boom is a trap. Alex Davis helped broker Nvidia's $20 billion Groq deal last week. Now he's telling investors to brace for a "significant financing crisis" in two years. As
The Core Problem Knowledge work demands constant learning. New tools, new industries, new regulations, new competitors. But learning as an adult is brutal. You don't have semesters. You don't have professors. You don't have study groups. What you have is: * Google (50 tabs, conflicting

The Core Problem Meetings consume an enormous portion of professional life. The average professional spends 21-35 hours per week in meetings—and much of that time is administrative, not strategic. The hidden costs: * Prep time: Reviewing agendas, researching attendees, anticipating questions * During: Note-taking that splits attention from actual participation * Follow-up:
“You’re not crazy,” the chatbot reassured her. Three days later, she was hospitalized for psychosis. A new case study published in a peer-reviewed journal documents what may be the first clinically verified instance of AI-induced delusional thinking. As we close out a year where 800 million people use AI
The Core Problem You face two common creative blocks—and they look like opposites: Block 1: The Blank Page You need to write something but don't know where to start. The cursor blinks. You have nothing. Every angle seems equally valid or equally boring. You're stuck
The man who co-founded Google Brain says AI won’t replace you anytime soon. In fact, he thinks the advice to stop learning to code is “some of the worst career advice ever given.” Sometimes the most useful thing an AI expert can do is tell you to relax. 📰 The
The Core Problem You're stuck. The problem feels tangled, complex, maybe even unsolvable. You've been staring at it for hours and you're no closer to an answer. You need to talk it through with someone—but no one's available. Your colleague is

Nvidia just paid $20 billion for a company that was supposed to be its biggest threat. Not to own it. To make sure nobody else does. 📰 The Rundown 💰 Nvidia Pays $20 Billion to License Groq’s Inference Technology ➡️ The move: On Christmas Eve, Nvidia announced a $20 billion deal to
The Core Problem AI has a dangerous trait: it's confidently wrong. Unlike a search engine that admits "no results found," AI will always give you an answer. It will cite studies that don't exist, quote people who never said those words, and provide statistics
Google’s AI chief scientist just said the quiet part out loud: if your job can be done from home on a computer, it might not be your job for long. The holiday week is wrapping up with a reality check about what AI disruption actually looks like. 📰 The Rundown

The CEO of a $29 billion AI coding startup has a warning for anyone who thinks they can build software by vibing their way through it: those skyscrapers you’re constructing might not have any wiring. 📰 The Rundown ⚠️ Cursor CEO Warns Vibe Coding Will “Start to Crumble” ➡️ The move: Michael
The Core Problem Every AI output you've read that made you cringe, that sounded like a corporate robot or a motivational poster, suffered from the same issue: the AI didn't know who it was supposed to sound like. AI models are trained on billions of words
On Christmas Eve, researchers unveiled a chip that builds upward instead of outward. It’s being called “the Manhattan of computing,” and it might be the breakthrough that makes AI’s next leap possible. 📰 The Rundown 🏗️ Stanford Unveils 3D Chip That Could Break AI’s Biggest Bottleneck ➡️ The move: Engineers
The Core Problem Professionals fall into two traps with AI-generated content: Trap 1: The Blind Acceptor They take whatever AI produces and use it verbatim. Copy, paste, send. The result? Generic content that sounds like everyone else, potential factual errors, and a voice that doesn't match their brand
A year ago, Wall Street treated Google like a has-been. ChatGPT was the darling, OpenAI the future. Fast-forward twelve months and the script has flipped: Google’s Gemini is growing faster than ChatGPT, Anthropic just signed up to use a million Google chips, and OpenAI has declared internal “code red.
The Core Problem Most people approach AI the way they'd approach a Google search—type a few words, hit enter, hope for the best. But AI isn't a search engine. It's more like a new team member who's incredibly capable but knows
Fifty-five thousand. That’s the number of jobs AI claimed in 2025, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Not displaced. Not reassigned. Cut. And if you think that number is high, consider that companies only started explicitly blaming AI for layoffs in 2023. The real count is almost certainly larger.
Everything you tell an AI chatbot can be used against you in court. A man in Virginia just got 25 years after prosecutors used his Snapchat AI logs as evidence. Half of AI users have no idea this is possible. Meanwhile, Anthropic spent six months letting an AI run a
