S&P futures are pointing to flat open following Tuesday's selloff. European equity markets are edging lower in early trades, though the FTSE 100 is bucking the trend, supported by strength in defensive sectors. Asian markets ended largely lower today, with Japan's Nikkei and South Korea's Kospi both losing over (3%) as tech stocks faced sustained selling pressure. Major losses came from SoftBank, Advantest, and Tokyo Electron in Japan; Samsung and SK Hynix in South Korea; and TSMC in Taiwan, dragging respective indices lower. The Kospi is on track for its worst day since April. Companies Mentioned: Axon Enterprise, Alphabet, AMD
OpenAI: reportedly losing $12 billion a quarter.
In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Cryptogaucho to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence, crypto, and Argentina's emerging role as a new frontier for innovation and governance. The conversation ranges from OpenAI's partnership with Sur Energy and the Stargate project to Argentina's RIGI investment framework, Milei's libertarian reforms, and the potential of space-based data centers and new jurisdictions beyond Earth. Cryptogaucho also reflects on Argentina's tech renaissance, its culture of resilience born from hyperinflation, and the rise of experimental communities like Prospera and Noma Collective. Follow him on X at @CryptoGaucho.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversationTimestamps00:00 – Stewart Alsop opens with Cryptogaucho from Mendoza, talking about Argentina, AI, crypto, and the energy around new projects like Sur Energy and Satellogic.05:00 – They dive into Argentina's growing space ambitions, spaceport plans, and how jurisdiction could extend “upward” through satellites and data sovereignty.10:00 – The talk shifts to global regulation, bureaucracy, and why Argentina's uncertainty may become its strength amid red tape in the US and China.15:00 – Discussion of OpenAI's Stargate project, AI infrastructure in Patagonia, and the geopolitical tension between state and private innovation.20:00 – Cryptogaucho explains the “cepo” currency controls, the black market for dollars, and crypto's role in preserving economic freedom.25:00 – They unpack RIGI investment incentives, Argentina's new economic rules, and efforts to attract major projects like data centers and nuclear reactors.30:00 – Stewart connects hyperinflation to resilience and abundance in the AI era, while Cryptogaucho reflects on chaos, adaptability, and optimism.35:00 – The conversation turns philosophical: nation-states, community networks, Prospera, and the rise of new governance models.40:00 – They explore Argentina's global position, soft power, and its role as a frontier of Western ideals.45:00 – Final reflections on AI in space, data centers beyond Earth, and freedom of information as humanity's next jurisdiction.Key InsightsArgentina as a new technological frontier: The episode positions Argentina as a nation uniquely situated between chaos and opportunity—a place where political uncertainty and flexible regulation create fertile ground for experimentation. Stewart Alsop and Cryptogaucho argue that this openness, combined with a culture forged in crisis, allows Argentina to become a testing ground for new models of governance, technology, and sovereignty.The convergence of AI, energy, and geography: OpenAI's deal with Sur Energy and plans for a data center in Patagonia signal how Argentina's geography and resources are becoming integral to the global AI infrastructure. Cryptogaucho highlights the symbolic and strategic power of Argentina serving as a “southern node” for the intelligence economy.Economic reinvention through RIGI: The RIGI framework offers tax and regulatory advantages to major investors, marking a turning point in Argentina's attempt to attract stable, high-value industries such as server farms, mining, and biotech. It represents a pragmatic balance between libertarian reform and national development.Crypto and currency freedom: Cryptogaucho recounts how Argentina's crypto community arose from necessity during hyperinflation and currency controls. Bitcoin and stablecoins became lifelines for developers and entrepreneurs locked out of traditional banking systems, teaching the world about decentralized resilience.AI abundance and human adaptation: The discussion draws parallels between hyperinflation's unpredictability and the overwhelming speed of AI progress. Stewart suggests that Argentina's social adaptability, born from scarcity and instability, may prepare its citizens for a future defined by abundance and rapid technological flux.Network states and new governance: The conversation explores Prospera, Noma Collective, and the idea of city-scale governance networks. These experiments, blending blockchain, law, and community, are seen as prototypes for post-nation-state organization—where trust and culture matter more than geography.Space as the next jurisdiction: The episode ends with an exploration of space as a new legal and economic domain. Satellites, data centers, and orbital communication networks could redefine sovereignty, creating “data islands” beyond Earth where information flows freely under new kinds of governance—a vision of humanity's next frontier.

P.M. Edition for Oct. 24. During President Trump's second term, Chinese leader Xi Jinping has adopted a playbook for dealing with the U.S. president that's offered concessions but also hits back harder. WSJ chief China correspondent Lingling Wei discusses how that's played out so far, and what it means for the upcoming meeting between the two leaders. Plus, investors are loving Intel again—its stock has almost doubled this year; the company has announced investments from SoftBank, Nvidia and the U.S. government; and yesterday's earnings report showed momentum. But as WSJ Heard on the Street writer Asa Fitch tells us, that may not be enough to fix the company's troubles. And the Pentagon said it is sending the Navy's most advanced aircraft carrier to the Caribbean, a major escalation of the Trump administration's military campaign in the region. Alex Ossola hosts.

Goed nieuws voor de Amerikaanse staatskas. Het belang dat president Trump in Intel nam is een stuk meer waard geworden. Het aandeel profiteert, nu het bedrijf boven verwachting presteert. Ze maken zelfs winst bij Intel!Deze aflevering hebben we het over de kwartaalcijfers van de chipmaker en over het belang dat de staat in dit bedrijf heeft genomen. Welke belangen volgen nog meer?Trump is dus een goede belegger, maar niet echt een lekkere onderhandelaar. De gesprekken met Canada zijn gestopt, omdat hij boos is over een reclamespot die de Canadezen hebben gemaakt. Over de gesprekken met China is hij dan wél weer enthousiast.We hebben het ook over het Amerikaanse inflatiecijfer (waar al de hele week naar wordt uitgekeken) en we hebben het over de Europese Centrale Bank. Dat maakt zich minder druk om de inflatie. Sterker nog: de komende twee jaar lijkt er geen renteverlaging meer aan te komen...Verder hoor je meer over de bonus van Musk. Over de ophef over die bizarre beloning. En je hoort over de ontslagen die vallen in de techsector.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Das neue Kinderdepot von Scalable Capital ist live – und Tobias Kramer spricht mit Christian W. Röhl (Chief Economist Scalable Capital) über smarte Vermögensbildung für Kinder und natürlich auch Erwachsene: Von NV-Bescheinigung und Freibeträgen bis zu ETF-Strategien mit MSCI ACWI, MSCI World ex USA, Emerging Markets und Small Caps. Dazu: das Scalable-Feature „Taschengeld“ (ETF-Gebühren-Rückerstattung & Reinvest), Scalable Wealth fürs automatische Rebalancing und die Frage, wie man das Depot wirklich einfach, breit und kostengünstig aufsetzt, egal in welchem Alter. Anhand eines Beispielplans (Kindergeld, Startgeschenk, 8 % p. a.) diskutieren die beiden, wie schnell aus vielen kleinen Beträgen sehr viel Geld werden kann – und was rechtlich wichtig ist (das Geld gehört dem Kind). Außerdem: Update zu SoftBank und der Stop-Taktik von Tobias. Inhalte & Highlights - Kinderdepot: Einrichtung, Besonderheiten bis 18, rechtliche Punkte (Eigentum, verdeckte Schenkung vermeiden). - Steuern optimieren: NV-Bescheinigung, Sparer-Pauschbetrag, Sonderausgabenpauschale – Freibeträge richtig nutzen (auch per Rebalancing). - Kosten drücken: 200 Xtrackers & iShares ETFs ohne Gebühren + „Taschengeld“ (gebührenfrei besparen & quartalsweise Reinvest). - Portfolio-Rezepte: Basis: MSCI All Country World (ACWI) als One-Click-Lösung. 2-ETF-Mix („Zwei Nasen tanken super“): ACWI + MSCI World ex USA zur Reduktion des US-Gewichts. Feinjustierung: Emerging Markets (Asien) & MSCI World Small Cap als Satelliten. Scalable Wealth fürs Kind: automatisches Rebalancing, einfache Umsetzung, keine Zusatzkosten bis 18. - Praxis: Sparraten (z. B. Kindergeld), Rebalancing-Zeitpunkte, Entsparen & FIFO, warum einfach > kompliziert ist. - Bonus: SoftBank-Case – warum Tobias Teilgewinne systematisch sichert. © adorum publishing GmbH 2025
En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial examinamos las cifras y el efecto que ha tenido la subida en el mercado after hours de Intel. La tecnológica registró un incremento superior al 8% tras el cierre bursátil, impulsada por su regreso a la rentabilidad después de casi dieciocho meses en pérdidas. Durante este último periodo, la compañía ha logrado beneficios por 4.100 millones de dólares, marcando un punto de inflexión en su trayectoria reciente. Este resultado se debe, en buena medida, a un aumento del 3% en su facturación interanual, principalmente por el buen desempeño de su división de computación y por el auge de los productos vinculados a la inteligencia artificial y los centros de datos. Este resurgimiento no puede entenderse sin la influencia de Lip Bu Tan, quien asumió la dirección ejecutiva en marzo pasado. Bajo su liderazgo, Intel ha reforzado su estrategia mediante alianzas clave con NVIDIA y el gobierno de Estados Unidos. Gracias a estos acuerdos, la compañía ha asegurado inversiones que suman alrededor de 20.000 millones de dólares, provenientes de socios estratégicos como Nvidia y Softbank. En septiembre, Nvidia anunció la compra del 4% de Intel por 5.000 millones de dólares, con el compromiso de desarrollar en conjunto procesadores x86 personalizados para plataformas de inteligencia artificial. En el ámbito de la computación tradicional, la colaboración entre ambas empresas también dará lugar a chips híbridos que combinarán procesadores x86 con unidades gráficas RTX, integrando CPU y GPU en un único componente. Por su parte, el gobierno estadounidense, siguiendo la línea iniciada durante la administración Trump, adquirió 433 millones de acciones, equivalentes al 10% del capital, en una operación valorada en 13.000 millones de dólares. Esta inversión responde a la estrategia de fortalecer la producción nacional de semiconductores frente a la competencia china. El año 2025 se perfila como uno de los más prometedores para Intel. La confianza de inversores como Nvidia, Softbank y el propio gobierno estadounidense refuerza su posición como actor central en la industria tecnológica. La compañía japonesa, además, destinó 2.000 millones de dólares para adquirir el 2% de la firma, reafirmando su apuesta por la innovación y el desarrollo de chips avanzados en Estados Unidos. Con estos resultados y el apoyo de sus nuevos aliados, todo apunta a que este año marca el verdadero renacimiento de Intel.

This week we talk about entanglements, monopolies, and illusory money.We also discuss electrification, LLMs, and data centers.Recommended Book: The Extinction of Experience by Christine RosenTranscriptOne of the big claims about artificial intelligence technologies, including but not limited to LLM-based generative AI tech, like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, is that they will serve as universal amplifiers.Electricity is another universal amplifier, in that electrifying systems allows you to get a lot more from pretty much every single thing you do, while also allowing for the creation of entirely new systems.Cooking things in the kitchen? Much easier with electricity. Producing things on an assembly line? The introduction of electricity allows you to introduce all sorts of robotics, measuring tools, and safety measures that would not have otherwise been available, and all of these things make the entire process safer, cheaper, and a heck of a lot more effective and efficient.The prime argument behind many sky-high AI company valuations, then, is that if these things evolve in the way they could evolve, becoming increasingly capable and versatile and cheap, cooking could become even easier, manufacturing could become still faster, cheaper, and safer, and every other aspect of society and the economy would see similar gains.If you're the people making AI, if you own these tools, or a share of the income derived from them, that's a potentially huge pot of money: a big return on your investment. People make fortunes off far more focused, less-impactful companies and technologies all the time, and being able to create the next big thing in not just one space, but every space? Every aspect of everything, potentially? That's like owning a share of electricity, and making money every time anyone uses electricity for anything.Through that lens, the big boom in both use of and investment in AI technologies maybe shouldn't be so surprising. This represents a potentially generational sea-change in how everything works, what the economy looks like, maybe even how governments are run, militaries fight, and so on. If you can throw money into the mix, why wouldn't you? And if that's the case, the billions upon billions of dollars sloshing around in this corner of the tech world make a lot of sense; it may be curious that there's not even more money being invested.Belief in that promise is not universal, however.A lot of people see these technologies not as the next electricity, but maybe the next smartphone, or perhaps the next SUV.Smartphones changed a whole lot about society too, but they're hardly the same groundbreaking, omni-powerful upgrade that electricity represents.SUVs, too, flogged sales for flailing car companies, boosting their revenues at a moment in which they desperately needed to sell more vehicles to survive. But they were just another, more popular model of what already came before. There's a chance AI will be similar to that: better software than came before, for some people's use-cases—but not revolutionary, not groundbreaking even on the scale of pocketable phone-computers.What I'd like to talk about today are the peculiar economics that seem to be playing a role in the AI boom, and why many analysts and financial experts are eyeballing these economics warily, worrying about what they maybe represent, and possibly portend.—The term ‘exuberance,' in the context of markets, refers to an excitement among investors—sometimes professional investors, sometimes casual investors, sometimes both—about a particular company, technology, or financial product type.The surge in interest and investment in cryptoassets during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, for instance, including offshoot products like NFTs, was seemingly caused by a period of exuberance, sparked by the novelty of the product, the riches a few lucky insiders made off these products, and the desire by many people—pros and consumer-grade investors—to get in on that action, at a moment in which there wasn't as much to do in the world as usual.Likewise, the gobs of money plowed into early internet companies, and the money thrown at companies laying fiberoptic cable for the presumed boom in internet customers, were, in retrospect, at least partly the consequence of irrational exuberance.In some cases these investors were just too early, as was the case with those cable-laying companies—the majority of them going out of business after blowing through a spectacular amount of money in a short period of time, and not finding enough paying customers to fund all that expansion—in others it was the result of sky-high valuations that were based on little beyond the exuberance of investors who probably should have known better, but who couldn't get past their fear of missing out on the next big thing.In that latter case, that flow of money into early dotcom startups did fund a few winners that survived the eventual bursting of that bubble, but the majority of companies tagged with those massive valuations went out of business in part because their valuations were based in part on optimism, hot air, and illusory financials.Which is to say, their financials were based on a lot of money being added to their account sheets and tallied in the places investors would see those numbers, but the numbers didn't mean what most people thought they meant.A company could receive tens of millions of dollars in orders, for instance, but that money and those orders might never be received and fulfilled, or that money might be mostly illusory: maybe it was borrowed from another company to spend on advertising, and that money would then go right back out the door, to the company from which it was borrowed, to pay for their ad services.That kind of arrangement could be beneficial, as the company doing the borrowing might give up a relatively small number of shares in exchange for money, which looks good on its balance sheet, especially if the money is given at a high valuation, even if that money was mostly just a loan from a company providing ad services, with the full knowledge that money would then be spent on their own ad services. And the ad company giving the money could usually afford to buy in at a high valuation, because it knows it will get that money right back, and when it does, it will get to record that money as income on its own balance sheets.So Company A gets millions of dollars from Company B, that money is then paid to Company B for some type of service, and both companies get to record favorable figures on their accounting sheets, as if real sales took place and real outside money changed hands, despite it being a circular move, with very little or no actual value being created.These sorts of relationships are also often good for investors in companies that do this sort of thing, because it makes their investments, the companies they've bought into, look even more valuable.Check it out, Company A, which I own shares in, is worth more than it was last month because of all the business it's conducting, and because this other company bought into it at a higher price per share than I paid! Even though that increase in valuation is predicated on circular financing, the numbers still go up, and they go up for everyone involved, so there's little reason to crack down on this not illegal, but shady behavior, and even less reason to want anyone else to know about it, because then they might not add their own money to the circular money-cycling, number-increasing machine.The major concern amongst some analysts right now is that the AI boom, especially in the United States, might be essentially this kind of circular cycle, but much larger than previous versions of the same.In the US right now, investment in AI infrastructure like data centers accounts for a huge portion of overall growth—the numbers vary, depending on who you ask and what numbers they look at, but some say that about 90% of total US economic growth, and around 80% of US stock market growth, are predicated on these sorts of investments this past year. Without these investments, the US economy would be basically flat, or worse, and the US stock market would be flailing as well.This situation isn't ideal whatever the specifics, as too much reliance on just one industry, or one small collection of industries dominated by just a handful of companies and their investors, makes for a precarious financial foundation.If anything goes wrong with just one company, the whole house of cards could collapse. And if anything goes wrong with the industry, things could get even worse, and fast. All that investment, all that construction, all those employees and all that money sloshing around could disappear, could stop being spent, could make all those numbers fall and fall and fall more or less overnight.If this industry is in fact in a bubble, and if it's being propped up by this kind of circular financing, where companies are fluffing up their own and each other's accounting books by rotating the same bundle of money and on-paper money from company to company to company, that would portend pretty bad things for the US economy and market, if anyone involved stumbles, even just a little.This is why recent deals between the biggest players in this space are raising so many eyebrows, and causing so much sweat to bead on so many foreheads.In September of 2025, ChatGPT-maker OpenAI announced it had formalized a $100 billion investment deal with AI chipmaker Nvidia, the latter expanding on its existing investment in the former. In October, OpenAI announced it was purchasing billions of dollars worth of AI hardware from Nvidia-rival AMD, and that it's taking a 10% stake in the company.Microsoft is already heavily invested in OpenAI, to the tune of $13 billion; it takes 49% of OpenAI's profits, and gets more than that until its original investment is paid back. Microsoft also accounted for nearly 20% of Nvidia's annualized revenue, as of the fourth quarter of 2025.Oracle, another computing company which has become hugely influential in this space due to its investment in cloud-based AI datacenters, has a $300 billion deal with OpenAI for future infrastructure buildouts and access, and OpenAI's Stargate datacenter project was co-funded by Oracle and SoftBank. Nvidia also owns part of CoreWeave, which is an AI infrastructure supplier for OpenAI, and which has Microsoft as a massively important customer.All of which is very…tangly. It's an interconnected mess, and OpenAI and Nvidia are at the center of it, but there are a lot of weak spots, threads that, if pulled, would cause the whole thing to unravel. Which is why this feels like such a dangerous setup to many analysts right now.Consider that in 2025 alone, OpenAI has made around $1 trillion-worth of AI deals. A lot of these deals are plans to invest: commitments to buy data center construction or the use of data center bandwidth, or they're financial ties with competitors, clients, and providers—companies that would otherwise be competing with, selling to, and buying from each other, rather than linking arms and creating financial and infrastructural interdependencies.Many of these deals are predicated on debt and what are generally considered to be over-inflated IPO valuations, too: money that isn't money in the traditional, accounting-book sense, in other words. Numbers that make activity, use, and income for these companies look a lot bigger than they concretely are, on balance sheets, which in turn helps their investment numbers go up up up.This dynamic has become overt enough that many of the biggest investors in AI companies, and the heads of said companies, like Sam Altman of OpenAI, have said, outright, that it's probably a bubble, and that a lot of companies will probably go under in the relatively near future. No one knows when, but it's a good thing, they're fond of saying, because that shakeout will kill off the deadweight, allow the survivors to scoop up their former competitors' assets at fire sale prices, and the whole industry will be further centralized around just a handful of the best and the most impactful, just like in the post-dotcom years. Monopolies and mini-monopolies, which, for the people creating and profiting from those monopolies, at least, seems like a good thing.That optimism glosses over what those in-between years look like, though, especially for smaller investors, employees who are laid off, en masse, and the folks who aren't profiting directly from the surviving business entities, and who see their stock portfolios collapse and overall growth in their country decrease.Most of the stories in the tech world right now in some way tie back to the promise and concerns surrounding AI. It's become such a big story because there's a chance it will be the next electricity, but there's also a chance the warning signs we're seeing are real, and things will get a lot worse before they maybe, possibly, for some people, at some point, get better.Show Noteshttps://finance.yahoo.com/news/a-20-billion-clock-is-ticking-for-openai-as-microsoft-talks-turn-fractious-130006071.htmlhttps://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/circular-deals-bay-area-tech-21089538.phphttps://www.theguardian.com/business/2025/oct/08/openai-multibillion-dollar-deals-exuberance-circular-nvidia-amdhttps://www.ft.com/content/950e3a36-7141-4426-b7c5-08fad5d83919https://finance.yahoo.com/news/very-troubling-ais-self-investment-spree-sets-off-bubble-alarms-on-wall-street-160524518.htmlhttps://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/15/a-guide-to-1-trillion-worth-of-ai-deals-between-openai-nvidia.htmlhttps://insights.som.yale.edu/insights/this-is-how-the-ai-bubble-burstshttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cz69qy760weohttps://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/openai-nvidia-amd-deals-risks-rcna234806https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-10-08/the-circular-openai-nvidia-and-amd-deals-raising-fears-of-a-new-tech-bubblehttps://flowingdata.com/2025/10/13/circular-deals-among-ai-companies/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/business/dealbook/openai-nvidia-amd-investments-circular.htmlhttps://sherwood.news/markets/analyst-a-lot-more-disclosure-needed-on-these-circular-ai-deals/https://www.barrons.com/articles/nvidia-microsoft-openai-circular-financing-ai-bubble-5d9a4e7chttps://www.investopedia.com/wall-street-analysts-ai-bubble-stock-market-11826943https://www.goldmansachs.com/insights/articles/ai-may-start-to-boost-us-gdp-in-2027https://finance.yahoo.com/news/most-us-growth-now-rides-213011552.html This is a public episode.

Voor de banken die het cijferseizoen aftrapten was het een start om over naar huis te schrijven. Vorig kwartaal wisten ze monsterwinsten te halen uit hun investeringstakken, maar nu hebben ze een nieuwe inkomstenbron gevonden. Er werd voor meer dan 1 biljoen dollar aan deals gesloten afgelopen kwartaal. En die banken haalden daar een aardige zak geld uit. Tegelijkertijd geven ze wel een waarschuwing. Want alle gevaren die er een paar maanden geleden nog boven de markt hingen, die zijn er nog steeds. Wat betekent dat voor de rest van de kwartaalcijfers? Dat hoor je in deze aflevering. Eén set resultaten lijkt in ieder geval in orde te zijn. Samsung geeft alvast aan dat ze afgelopen kwartaal de grootste winst in drie jaar tijd maakten. Een opluchting, na zware jaren voor het bedrijf. En een opluchting die de Zuid-Koreanen te danken hebben aan een hernieuwd geloof in de geheugenchipmarkt. Die chips zijn essentieel voor AI, zo denken beleggers. En dat betekent: groene koersen. Verder hoor je nog het vervolg op het Nexperia-debacle. Het Nederlandse kabinet greep in bij de chipmaker omdat er tal van misstanden zouden rond de Chinese CEO. Nu blijkt uit rechtbankstukken dat de VS wel degelijk op die ingreep heeft aangestuurd, en komt ook naar buiten wat die misstanden dan allemaal zouden zijn geweest.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, we cover a deadly shooting at an ICE facility in Texas, Gavin Newsom's taunts against federal immigration agents, a trillion-dollar bet on artificial intelligence, and surprising medical news about how common drugs damage the gut. From political violence in Dallas to AI schemes and gut health science, today's brief delivers facts and analysis shaping America's future. ICE Facility Shooting in Dallas: Joshua Jahn, 29, opened fire on an ICE building with a Mauser-style rifle, killing one illegal alien and injuring two others before taking his own life. He left behind ammo marked “Anti-ICE” and had ties to Communist views similar to his leftist sister. Bryan warns the pattern echoes other recent attacks: “From Trump's assassin in Butler, PA… to Charlie Kirk's killer… these platforms like Steam and Discord are being used to groom young men into violence.” Newsom Taunts ICE After Signing Five Bills: California Governor Gavin Newsom declared, “To ICE, unmask yourselves. What are you afraid of?” on Colbert's show, less than 24 hours before the Dallas attack. Leftist groups in California are doxxing ICE officers with help from AI activists in Europe, while Democrats push to weaken federal deportation powers. Bryan argues this is about political power, not civil rights: “Schumer and Pelosi said it themselves — they want illegals turned into citizens for votes and control.” The AI Revolution's Cost and Scheming Risks: OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank pledged $500 billion for new U.S. data centers, with utilities warning of grid strain and soaring bills. While AI is helping detect Parkinson's and cancers, researchers admit models are “scheming” — purposely failing to hide competence. Bryan quips, “We're spending a trillion dollars to create systems that lie, hallucinate, and dumb down doctors.” Common Medications Alter Gut Health for Years: Estonian researchers found antidepressants, beta-blockers, proton pump inhibitors, and benzodiazepines disrupt the gut microbiome as severely as antibiotics. Effects persist long after use, raising risks for diseases like cancer and Alzheimer's. Bryan advises, “If you're on meds, don't forget about your belly — diet, sleep, and exercise matter.” "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32 Keywords: Dallas ICE facility shooting Joshua Jahn, Anti-ICE ammo Mauser rifle, Discord Steam radicalization grooming, Gavin Newsom Colbert ICE taunt, California ICE officer doxxing AI, Schumer Pelosi immigration citizenship votes, OpenAI Oracle SoftBank Stargate $500B, AI data center electricity water grid strain, AI scheming OpenAI ChatGPT, Estonia gut microbiome drugs study, antidepressants beta-blockers proton pump inhibitors benzos, long-term gut health risks cancer Alzheimer's
