Hand-picked News
The Pentagon labeled Anthropic a "supply chain risk"—a designation previously used only for foreign adversaries like Huawei. It's the first American company ever publicly blacklisted this way.
What actually happened:
Anthropic had a $200M Pentagon contract and was the only AI on classified military networks. Negotiations collapsed over two redlines: no fully autonomous weapons, no mass domestic surveillance. The Pentagon wanted "all lawful purposes" with no exceptions.
OpenAI announced its Pentagon deal hours after the blacklist—initially promising similar safety guardrails, then quietly removing them after backlash.
Claude is still being used for US military operations in Iran right now, even post-ban, because transitioning AI systems mid-operation is harder than the rhetoric suggested.
⚠️ Why this matters: If Anthropic is truly a national security threat, why is the Pentagon still using Claude for Iran operations? This isn't about security—it's about who gets to set limits on AI use.
✅ The twist: Monday was Anthropic's biggest signup day ever. Claude became the #1 free app on both app stores. Turns out "banned by the Pentagon for refusing to build killer robots" is better marketing than any ad campaign.
👀 Watch for: Anthropic's lawsuit and whether this kills AI safety negotiation entirely.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved TerraPower's Natrium reactor this week. First new reactor permit in nearly a decade.
Why this matters:
The reactor stores excess heat in molten sodium tanks, then releases it when wind and solar drop off. It's basically a giant battery attached to a nuclear plant.
Nvidia invested last June as part of a $650M round. Data centers need power that doesn't care about weather, and this design can actually ramp unlike traditional reactors.
TerraPower followed the full permitting process instead of waiting for looser DOE rules, so it can build on private land. Expect others to copy this path.
Traditional nuclear gets crushed economically because it's always-on in a world where electricity prices spike and crater by the hour. Gates is betting the heat storage trick solves that.
⚠️ The reality check: Even if this works perfectly, construction will take years. Solar and batteries keep getting cheaper while nuclear proves itself.
👀 Watch for: How long it actually takes to build. If it's 8+ years, the economics fall apart.
Samsung confirmed its AI glasses are launching in 2026 with a camera but no built-in screen. Your phone does all the work.
What's actually happening:
The glasses have a camera that captures what you're looking at. That video gets sent to your Galaxy phone, which uses AI to tell you useful information about what you see.
Meta owns 82% of the smart glasses market right now with Ray-Ban glasses. Samsung is trying to compete by making their AI smarter, not their hardware fancier.
Samsung keeps saying "something for industry this year" but won't promise regular people can buy them in 2026. Businesses might get them first.
Samsung is doing the opposite of Apple's Vision Pro. Instead of putting all the tech in the glasses, they're keeping them simple and letting your phone handle the AI.
⚠️ The problem: If you need your phone out anyway, why wear glasses? Samsung has to prove the camera on your face is worth it. Meta already does visual search—Samsung needs something better.
👀 Watch for: Actual demos showing what the AI can do. Vague "visual search" features won't be enough to beat Meta.

Previous Poll:
ChatGPT can now control your computer to run and fix code. Is this exciting or terrifying?
A) Yes – Exciting, bring it on – 54%
B) No – Terrifying, hard pass – 46%
My Take: The split is almost dead even, which tells you everything. People want AI to save them time, but nobody's ready to hand over the keys without flinching. Excitement wins by a nose, but that 46% isn't going anywhere until someone gets hacked.
