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.

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 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 […]

What Does Bitcoin Hedge, Exactly?

Bitcoin has spent most of its adult life accumulating narratives. It was electronic cash, then digital gold. It became an inflation hedge, an escape hatch from monetary debasement, a geopolitical safe haven, a liquidity sponge and, depending on the market cycle, the ultimate risk-on asset.

Rocket Lab’s $8 Billion Iridium Deal Is Really About Escaping SpaceX’s Gravity

Rocket Lab has spent years building rockets, spacecraft, satellite components and the infrastructure required to put things into orbit. Now it wants something arguably more valuable: the recurring revenue generated after those things get there. That is the strategic logic behind Rocket Lab’s proposed acquisition of Iridium Communications, an approximately $8 billion enterprise-value transaction announced […]
