    AI is everywhere right now. In IPO markets, in SaaS business models and in your day to day workflow. On this week's episode of The Liquidity Event, Shane and AJ break down why mega IPOs like OpenAI and SpaceX are creating a gravity well in the public markets, what that means for smaller companies waiting to go public and whether the IPO pipeline is actually reopening in 2026. They also dig into the growing tension inside software companies as AI agents begin to threaten seat based pricing models and what recent disclosures are quietly admitting about the competitive risks. Finally, they unpack new research showing that AI may not be lightening workloads at all. Instead, it may be increasing email volume, decision fatigue and what researchers are calling AI brain fry.

    As artificial intelligence becomes a strategic capability for nations as well as companies, questions of governance, safety, and geopolitical competition are moving to the forefront. In this episode of TechSurge, host Sriram Viswanathan speaks with Helen Toner, Interim Executive Director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) at Georgetown and a former OpenAI board member, about the rise of sovereign AI stacks and the global implications of increasingly powerful AI systems.Helen brings a rare vantage point from both inside the frontier AI ecosystem and the policy world. She reflects on lessons from her time on the OpenAI board, including the governance challenges that arise when nonprofit missions intersect with enormous commercial incentives and rapid technological progress. As AI capabilities accelerate, she argues that the industry is still grappling with deep uncertainty about how these systems work, how they will evolve, and what responsibilities companies and governments should carry.The conversation explores the idea of sovereign AI; the growing push by countries to control key layers of the AI stack, including compute infrastructure, models, and data. Helen explains why governments increasingly view AI as a strategic national resource, comparable to past transformative technologies like electricity or the internet. At the same time, she cautions that full technological independence may be unrealistic for most nations, given the complexity and global interdependence of the AI supply chain.Sriram and Helen also examine the evolving US–China AI competition, the role of export controls and semiconductor supply chains, and how different countries, from China to emerging AI hubs in the Middle East, are positioning themselves in the race to build advanced AI capabilities. Along the way, they discuss whether the industry should slow down development, how companies are experimenting with “safety frameworks” for frontier models, and why installing guardrails may be more realistic than attempting to halt progress altogether.Ultimately, Helen argues that society is entering a period of profound uncertainty. AI is transitioning from a research discipline into a foundational system that will shape economies, security, and daily life. Navigating that transition will require not just technical breakthroughs, but new approaches to governance, transparency, and global cooperation.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future Season 2 episodes.--Episode LinksConnect with Helen: linkedin.com/in/helen-toner-4162439aLearn more about CSET: https://cset.georgetown.edu/--Timestamps03:00 Lessons from the OpenAI Board: Governance in the Age of Frontier AI05:00 The Big Unknowns in AI Development: Why Experts Still Disagree12:05 Public Trust and the Risk of an AI Backlash14:20 When AI Became Infrastructure: From Research Field to Societal System16:00 Is AGI a Meaningless Term Now?

    What is “artificial intelligence”? Is it a fancy technology? A management consulting buzzword? A PR effort to inflate corporate share prices? A political project designed to shape the world more to the liking of the billionaire class? A way to replace needy human workers with machines? Perhaps it’s all of that—and more. In her groundbreaking book Empire of AI: Dreams and Nightmares in Sam Altman’s OpenAI, award-winning journalist Karen Hao argues that AI—and the profit-driven infrastructure that surrounds it—is a colonial project. What OpenAI boss Altman and his fellow ideologues in Silicon Valley are pursuing, Hao says, is not just corporate power but imperial power. They are building empires. And as history shows, empires are built on resource extraction, particularly the old-fashioned kind: of labor, energy, minerals, land, water. Seemingly overnight, tech elites’ feel-good climate promises have evaporated, having been seamlessly swapped for slippery promises that so-called “artificial general intelligence” will save the planet for us. Never mind that AGI is a fantastical concept that has no agreed-upon definition, or that, more fundamentally, it appears nowhere close to existing. In Big Tech’s frenzied pursuit of the “hyperscale” AI dominance that evangelists claim will unlock AGI, as well as its expanding alliances with fossil fuel-backed petrostates and authoritarian political movements, the industry has become an increasingly central contributor to the climate crisis. In an October conversation with Drilled, Hao discussed how Silicon Valley giants appear to be following the oil and gas industry’s playbook of disinformation and deceit; how Altman and OpenAI’s secrecy and disingenuous rhetoric transformed the field of AI research into corporate PR; and why the destructive trajectory of AI scale and commercialization is not inevitable—no matter what its power-hungry proponents would have you believe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The AI buildout continues to break records, as the hyperscalers pour hundreds of billions of dollars into chips and data centers, even as investors punish their stock prices. But the revenue side of the ledger is showing signs of takeoff. In the last few weeks, OpenAI and Anthropic have added billions of dollars of cash, on their way to becoming two of the fastest growing companies in history. Last year, Derek was convinced that AI was on its way to being one of the biggest bubbles in modern capitalism's history. But the torpid rise of AI agents is starting to change his mind. So he wanted to bring someone on to test his evolving theory. The investor and writer Paul Kedrosky returns to the show to make his own case even more firmly: AI is a bubble, and the evidence is all around us.

    Welcome out to another Trading Justice podcast. We've got a packed show this week as the market continues to trade headlines surrounding the Iran conflict, crude oil, and the Strait of Hormuz. We break down the latest escalation around Kharg Island, why oil remains the key macro driver right now, and what traders should actually be watching while volatility stays elevated. We also preview this week's Fed meeting and take a look back at Jay Powell's tenure as Fed Chair. With only a couple meetings left before his term ends, we walk through the biggest moments of the Powell era — from the 2018 rate hikes and the Powell Pivot, to the pandemic response, the transitory inflation mistake, the aggressive hiking cycle, and the banking crisis. We discuss the best decisions, the worst mistakes, and where Powell ranks among modern Fed chairs. To close the show, we play a Polymarket game and react to betting odds tied to the war, the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. military escalation, midterms, the 2028 election, OpenAI, aliens, movies, and even whether LeBron will retire. A mix of macro, markets, politics, and a little fun to finish the podcast.

    Phil Swan, Sunday, 3-15-25The Space Show Presents Phil Swan on Launching Orbital Data Centers from The Moon are ready!Quick Summary:The meeting focused on the feasibility and implications of building data centers on the moon, with Phil Swan as the main speaker discussing the concept and addressing various technical and economic challenges. Participants explored the potential of mass drivers for launching data centers from the moon, the advantages of lunar manufacturing, and the role of nuclear power in supporting such endeavors. The discussion touched on the competition between space-based and Earth-based solutions, regulatory considerations, and the current state of AI companies' involvement in space initiatives. The conversation also highlighted the limitations of current technology and the need for further development in areas like mass drivers, nuclear power, and supply chain logistics.Detailed Summary:Early on we discussed the origin of the term “mass driver,” which was attributed to O'Neill who engineered the concept beyond its initial science fiction depiction in Heinlein's work. Phil Swan, the featured guest, presented a detailed analysis of building data centers on the moon and launching them into orbit using mass drivers, noting the rapid growth of Earth-based data centers and the potential for space-based solutions. The discussion highlighted the technical challenges and opportunities of space-based data centers, with Swan emphasizing the need to critically evaluate the feasibility of such concepts.Phil discussed the potential for moving data centers to space, highlighting the need to rebuild supply chains and the advantages of escaping Earth's regulatory burdens. He emphasized that data centers, as corporate entities, seek survival and growth, considering factors such as resource competition, popularity, and geopolitical risks. He mentioned Elon Musk's point about the continuous sunlight in space, which Phil addressed by explaining the trade-offs of solar panels in space, including decreased efficiency and shorter lifespan due to heat and radiation. Phil concluded that while space-based solar power might not be as cost-effective as Earth-based options, it could still offer advantages for data centers in terms of continuous energy supply.The Space Show Wisdom Team discussed the feasibility and implications of space-based data centers. Phil explained that while Earth-based maintenance requires manual labor, robotic systems could easily handle repairs in space, making satellite breakdowns manageable. He suggested placing data centers in high orbits beyond geosynchronous range, potentially launched from the Moon, to minimize interference with astronomy while optimizing economic and communication benefits. Our guest also outlined the key cost components of data centers, emphasizing that the cost of atom rearrangement (such as refining materials and manufacturing chips) would be similar regardless of location, while the cost of transporting atoms to space could be significant.The group discussed the feasibility of semiconductor manufacturing on the moon, with Phil arguing that while it would be expensive, it's not unrealistic given current advancements in Earth-based facilities. They explored various mass driver technologies, including railguns, coil guns, and screw launch systems, with Phil explaining how these could be optimized for launching satellites from the moon. Marshall added that aircraft carriers already handle acceleration forces of up to 3Gs without issues, suggesting that similar technology could be adapted for lunar launches.The group discussed the technical and logistical challenges of building a mass driver on the Moon, calculating that a 19-kilometer long mass driver would result in approximately 10G acceleration, which Phil confirmed was accurate. Bill raised concerns about launching semiconductor manufacturing equipment from Earth to the Moon, suggesting it might be more cost-effective to make chips on Earth and send them up using SpinLaunch or other rockets. The discussion concluded by proposing that Starship or other proven rockets would be the best option for sending chips to the Moon, while it was noted that SpinLaunch from Earth would face significant drag issues.The team further discussed the potential for establishing a lunar economy focused on data centers, with Phil proposing a model where Earth-based companies miniaturize and adapt manufacturing processes for lunar operations. They explored the possibility of using permanently shadowed craters on the moon for data center cooling, powered by nuclear or thorium reactors, which could provide both unlimited power and cryogenic cooling. The discussion addressed the challenges of latency in data transmission to Earth, with Phil noting that it might not significantly impact many current AI tasks. The point was made for a highlighted need for fiber optic cables to connect the data center components. Bill suggested using a large RTG and a sterling engine for power generation, while it was emphasized the competition from nuclear-powered data centers on Earth using molten salt reactors, which could be more cost-effective and easier to control.The group discussed the feasibility and economics of building data centers on the Moon versus Earth, with Phil arguing that while lunar data centers would be more cost-effective due to mass driver technology, the development timeline could be 30-40 years. They explored various delivery models, including the use of helicopters for remote Earth locations and the potential for nuclear reactors, with others suggesting that Earth-based nuclear data centers could be developed within 5 years. Bill clarified that Elon Musk's proposal involved launching data centers into cislunar space rather than deep space, and Marshall proposed using AI units on the backside of Starlink satellites, though Phil noted that current satellite computing economics don't work out economically due to solar panel efficiency and battery wear issues.The group discussed the regulatory landscape for data centers and AI, with Phil noting that despite concerns, regulatory bodies are unlikely to significantly slow down their development due to the overwhelming benefits. Dr. Kothari shared his perspective on nuclear power solutions, particularly highlighting the potential of thorium-based molten salt reactors as a scalable and cost-effective option for data centers, which he believes could be more attractive to investors. Phil and Ajay also discussed the economic viability of small modular reactors versus larger reactors, with Phil mentioning a video by that suggested smaller reactors might not be as economical. The conversation concluded with Philip emphasizing the uncertainty of future energy technologies and the potential for advancements like zero-point energy or the miniaturization of factories on the moon.The group discussed various energy solutions for data centers emphasizing the potential of thorium-based reactors over space-based solar power or fusion. They explored the logistics of data center production, with Phil suggesting that the location of data center factories would be more influential than energy source choice. The conversation then shifted to mass drivers and spin launch technologies, with John Hunt raising questions about trajectory control and Manuel inquiring about materials used in mass drivers. The discussion concluded with Bill noting that while Musk is knowledgeable about space, many AI companies may lack the necessary space expertise to effectively implement these technologies.The group discussed the current state and future of AI data centers, with Phil explaining that while companies like Nvidia, OpenAI, and Google dominate the market with 60-80% of compute workload, smaller players like Musk and Grok only account for 2%. Bill presented current computer capability metrics showing Google at 27%, OpenAI at 20%, Meta at 15.7%, and others including Anthropic at 9.7%. The discussion concluded with Philip presenting a technical analysis of mass drivers for space-based data centers, emphasizing that space data centers could drive a 50% increase in human civilization's economic scale, and noting his upcoming presentations at ISDC and Ascend in May-June.Special thanks to our sponsors:American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Helix Space in Luxembourg, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights, Astrox Corporation, Dr. Haym Benaroya of Rutgers University, The Space Settlement Progress Blog by John Jossy, The Atlantis Project, and Artless EntertainmentOur Toll Free Line for Live Broadcasts: 1-866-687-7223 (Not in service at this time)For real time program participation, email Dr. Space at: drspace@thespaceshow.com for instructions and access.The Space Show is a non-profit 501C3 through its parent, One Giant Leap Foundation, Inc.

    Pentagon AI Model Ban Shifts Control from Vendors to Procurement Authorities

    The episode details a structural shift in the technology landscape: AI models are increasingly being treated as commodity components, with operational control and procurement decisions moving to the orchestration layer. This change is illustrated by government procurement actions, specifically the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic's Claude model as a supply chain risk and the subsequent shift in model eligibility requirements. Policymaking authorities are now directly dictating which models can be used within national security supply chains, reconfiguring where power, liability, and decision-making sit. The primary development is the Department of Defense's recent disqualification of Anthropic's Claude from eligible contracts, leading to both contract cancellations and legal disputes. Anthropic has responded with lawsuits contesting its supply chain risk designation, while Microsoft has sought court intervention to block the Pentagon's ban, asserting this would prevent disruption to military AI workflows. The State Department has also moved its internal chatbot infrastructure from Claude Sonic 4.5 to OpenAI's GPT-4.1, aligning with the President's compliance directive. Supporting developments include Google's deployment of Gemini-powered AI agents within the Department of Defense, and the emergence of tools such as Perplexity's APIs, which aim to simplify workflow construction across multiple models. The episode emphasizes that model swaps by agencies are not merely technical updates, but policy-driven control decisions. These actions underscore a climate in which model eligibility and operational portability are shaped by compliance and procurement authorities rather than technical teams or vendors. Operational implications for MSPs and IT providers are profound. Single-model dependencies now present measurable contract risk, especially for clients in defense, healthcare, or finance sectors. Swapping models requires revalidation of prompts, outputs, and integrations, rather than simple API repointing. Providers are advised to audit workflows for reliance on any one model, prioritize abstraction layers that enable smooth transitions, and position model-agnostic architectures as proactive risk management. In a landscape defined by commodity models and policy-driven eligibility, model diversification now represents continuity planning rather than an engineering preference.

    What happens when everyone can build, but no one breaks through the noise?In this episode of Supra Insider, Ben Erez sits down with Elan Miller, founder and CEO of branding and design studio Off-Menu, for the podcast's first live in-person recording. Elan unpacks why this moment is uniquely challenging for brand storytelling—AI has made it easier than ever to build and ship products, but harder than ever to get people to care. He explains how the standard tech playbook (great product + clever go-to-market) no longer works when 10 competitors can copy you within a month, and why honorable points of view are the only sustainable moat.They explore Anthropic's Keep Thinking campaign and Super Bowl ads as a masterclass in positioning against OpenAI, discuss why successful positioning must repel people as much as it resonates, and unpack the Granola rebrand (including Ben's honest reaction as a customer). Elan shares why most rebrands fail (visual makeover without moving anything forward), the different reasons companies should rebrand (talent attraction, internal alignment, crossing the chasm), and his process for finding the “holy s**t insight” that makes people feel seen. Plus, how he's building AI tools that turn brand strategy into practical inputs for higher-quality outputs, and why strong point of view is the antidote to slop.If you're building in a crowded space and struggling to stand out, wondering whether a rebrand is the right move, or trying to articulate what makes you different in a way that actually resonates—this episode is for you.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

    Newt talks with Michael Horowitz, senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and Richard Perry Professor at the University of Pennsylvania. They discuss the AI company Anthropic and its model, Claude Gov, which is the first AI model used on classified systems. A recent meeting between Secretary Hegseth and Anthropic's CEO Dario Amodei at the Pentagon failed to reach an agreement on assurances against the use of the model for surveillance or autonomous weapons, leading Anthropic to sue the Department of Defense over being labeled a supply chain risk. Horowitz discusses the slow adoption of AI in the military, attributing it to the U.S. military's historical reluctance to change due to its current superiority. He outlines three AI applications in the military: logistics, intelligence surveillance, and autonomous weapon systems, emphasizing the potential for AI to transform warfare. They also discuss OpenAI working with the military. Horowitz sees AI as an inevitable part of military evolution, comparable to past technological revolutions like electricity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    In this week's show we start with FOLLOW UP: The world keeps trying to protect kids online — Indonesia just joined Australia, Spain, and Malaysia in banning social media for under-16s, while COPPA 2.0 sailed through the US Senate unanimously. Meanwhile, Roblox is using AI to clean up its chat, because apparently "Hurry TF up" is the hill they've chosen to die on — even as they're still dealing with the whole "pedophile problem" thing from January. On the AI copyright front, Gracenote is the latest company to sue OpenAI for helping itself to proprietary data, joining a growing queue of plaintiffs who apparently didn't get the memo that everything is training data now.IN THE NEWS: Anthropic is suing the Pentagon after being labeled a "supply chain risk" — apparently because the CEO said AI shouldn't be used for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons, which the Trump administration heard as fighting words. The delicious irony: the Pentagon is still running Claude in active operations while trying to phase it out. Speaking of active operations, investigators now think a missile strike on an Iranian girls' school may have been triggered by bad AI-generated intelligence from that same Claude-based system. So yes, the autocomplete that hallucinates your grocery list is also maybe accidentally bombing schools. Meta's Oversight Board is begging the company to get serious about AI-generated content after a fake war video from a Filipino fake news account racked up 700K views — while separately, Zuckerberg dropped cash on Moltbook, a "social network for AI agents" that turned out to be mostly humans larping as bots and had a security flaw that exposed everyone's API keys. The guy who built it basically vibe-coded the whole thing. Meta's own CTO said he didn't "find it particularly interesting." And yet. Oracle is hemorrhaging jobs and drowning in debt chasing AI dreams, its stock down 50% from peak — a timely reminder that "AI will replace workers" is currently manifesting as "companies set money on fire and lay people off to pay the electric bill." Researchers confirmed AI is homogenizing human thought and creativity — a thing some of us have been screaming since day one. A DOGE engineer allegedly walked out of the Social Security Administration with databases containing personal info on 500 million Americans on a thumb drive. The Ig Nobel Prize is relocating to Switzerland because it's no longer safe to invite international guests to America. Nintendo is suing the US government to get its tariff money back. SETI thinks it may have been accidentally filtering out alien signals due to space weather. And Pokémon Go players unknowingly spent a decade building a centimeter-accurate surveillance map of Earth's cities that's now guiding pizza delivery robots — which, honestly, tracks.In APPS & DOODADS: The GOG clan in Clash Royale just hit eight years old — respect. OpenAudible is the cross-platform audiobook manager your Audible library deserves, especially if you've got over a thousand books sitting there judging you.And finally in MEDIA CANDY: Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 is here, and pretty beige. Live Nation settled its DOJ antitrust case for $200 million, kept Ticketmaster, and avoided a breakup — meanwhile court documents revealed employees joking about "robbing fans blind" and gouging "stupid" customers, which explains basically every concert ticket you've bought in the last decade. YouTube is now officially the world's largest media company at $62 billion in revenue. Bluesky's CEO is stepping down, which is either a bad sign or just the natural order of "person who built the cool thing hands it to the person who scales the cool thing." Dead Set — Charlie Brooker's 2008 zombie-in-the-Big-Brother-house miniseries — is worth a watch if you haven't.
