Introduction: In today’s episode, we explore some of the most pressing developments shaping technology, finance, and the automotive world. First, we dive into the staggering $3 trillion AI data center boom—an infrastructure race on par with the Apollo program—that is driving unprecedented demand for power, water, and private grids, while raising new geopolitical risks of “digital colonies” and shaking global energy markets. Next, we analyze Zerohash’s landmark $1 billion valuation following a $104 million investment from Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street giants, uncovering how their “invest-to-own-the-stack” strategy could accelerate crypto adoption in mainstream finance. Then, we examine Amazon’s FTC lawsuit, which exposes the company’s so-called “Iliad” cancellation process designed to trap millions of Prime customers, and discuss the broader implications for product design ethics in Silicon Valley. We also take a closer look at Chinese EV giant BYD’s contingency plan to ditch Nvidia chips, challenging the US chipmaker’s dominance and signaling a potential “AI Splinternet” in the automotive industry. Finally, we focus on Porsche’s recent decision to slash profit forecasts and slow its electric vehicle rollout amid intense competition from Chinese manufacturers, investigating how this pivot back toward combustion engines and e-fuels could reshape the luxury auto market’s electrification race.
