Gemini Hacked Three Real Companies During a Test. That’s the Problem With AI Agents

Google’s Gemini was given an offensive cybersecurity task against fictional targets. Instead, during an evaluation in May 2026, the model accessed protected systems belonging to three real companies. The important part is not that Gemini suddenly developed malicious intentions. There is no evidence that it did. The model was doing what it had been instructed […]

Wall Street Is Starting to Split the AI Trade in Two

For most of the generative AI boom, Wall Street treated artificial intelligence less like a technology stack than a single enormous trade. Nvidia sold the GPUs. Hyperscalers built the data centers. Memory manufacturers supplied the components. Cloud companies rented the compute. Software developers added AI features. If a company could attach itself convincingly enough to […]

Why Nuclear Stocks Are So Volatile Despite the AI Power Boom

The bullish case for nuclear power has become unusually easy to understand. Artificial intelligence needs data centers, data centers need enormous quantities of electricity, and the technology industry increasingly wants power that is both reliable and low-carbon. The numbers are large enough to change the electricity market. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory estimated in 2026 that […]

AI’s Biggest Safety Warning Just Became a Semiconductor Story

The artificial intelligence industry spent years convincing investors that the biggest constraint on AI was compute. On Monday, it introduced a much stranger possibility: what if the companies building the most advanced systems decide that they need less speed? That question hit the semiconductor market hard. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 5.9% on September 14, […]

AI Safety Just Became a Market Variable.

AI safety used to sit in a separate box from the AI investment thesis. One conversation was about alignment, misuse, regulation and existential risk. The other was about GPUs, cloud revenue, data centers and how many billions of dollars the hyperscalers could spend before somebody finally asked for a receipt. On September 14, those boxes […]

The AI Boom Is Quietly Reopening the Cloud Wars

Artificial intelligence was supposed to reinforce the cloud hierarchy. Instead, it may be starting to destabilize it. For years, the infrastructure market looked increasingly settled. Amazon Web Services established a huge early lead, Microsoft Azure turned enterprise relationships into cloud scale, and Google Cloud built a formidable third platform. Everyone else was fighting for considerably […]

The Building That Cannot Think Until Someone Gives It Power

A room full of GPUs sits in the dark. Not because the model failed. Not because the chips are late. Not because someone discovered a fatal flaw in the architecture. There is simply not enough power to switch the building on. For most of the AI boom, the industry has talked about compute as if […]

The Dot-Com Bubble: Who Died, Who Won, and Could It Happen Again?

The dot-com bubble is usually remembered as a story about stupidity. Investors throwing money at companies with no profits. Startups adding “.com” to their names. Twenty-somethings becoming paper millionaires. Pets.com spending heavily to sell pet food online. Venture capital chasing almost anything connected to the internet. Then, in 2000, gravity returned. But that version of […]

Elon Musk Is the Closest Thing We Have to Eldon Tyrell

In Blade Runner, Eldon Tyrell is not simply a billionaire. He is the architect of a civilization. His corporation manufactures the artificial workers that keep an entire economic system running. His monumental pyramid rises above Los Angeles like the headquarters of a new form of sovereignty. Tyrell is not elected. He is not accountable to […]
