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 […]

GTA VI Has Become Bigger Than a Game for Take-Two

Take-Two Interactive is holding its annual shareholder meeting on September 17. Under normal circumstances, that would be a corporate event of limited interest to anyone who does not own the stock or enjoy reading proxy statements. These are not normal circumstances.

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, […]

Oklo Explained: How Its Advanced Nuclear Business Model Works

Oklo is usually described as an advanced nuclear reactor developer. That description misses the part of the company that most directly determines whether its economics can work: Oklo intends to own the plants it builds and sell the electricity itself. That is a meaningful departure from the familiar nuclear model in which a reactor vendor […]

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 […]

Oklo plunges 9% as nuclear stocks extend a brutal selloff

Oklo just reminded investors that the nuclear renaissance trade can be radioactive in more ways than one.

The pressure was not limited to Oklo. The […]

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 […]
