Are you watching the performers or the architects? š¤
In the high-stakes race for AI, itās easy to get distracted by the spectacle. We see the personalities, the ones who crave the limelight, who are constantly on stage, and who measure their success in headlines and sound bites.
But this is a distraction. š«
If you want the real insider intel, you don't look at the stage. You look at the foundation. The real intelligence isn't in a secret memo; itās right there in the public record for anyone willing to lookāin the research papers, the engineering blogs, and the quiet, deliberate, foundational moves being made.
While the performers are chasing the next news cycle, one entity is running silent and running deep.
This is the "Missionaries vs. Mercenaries" doctrine. š
This AI race won't be won by "mercenaries." You can't win a generational challenge by simply hiring billion-dollar staff. Mercenaries, by their very nature, work for the highest bidder. They have no loyalty to the mission.
Victory is won by "missionaries." š
It's won by a core team that is loyal, a team that has a deep, passionate, and emotional tie to the vision and the doctrine. Itās a culture of engineers and researchers who are not driven by personality, but by a shared belief in solving the real problems.
The performers are asking, "How can we look impressive next quarter?" The missionaries are asking, "How can we solve longevity? How can we solve medicine? How can we fundamentally alter the human equation for the better?"
They have their heads down, and they're not looking at anyone else's paper. š¤«
They're building the entire stack, from their own custom silicon (TPUs) all the way up. They don't have to go hat-in-hand to rent capacity. They ARE the capacity.
While others are fighting for headlines, the missionaries are solving for the endgame. They're not just thinking about a bigger data center; they're architecting data centers in space to harness unlimited solar power and perfect cooling. š°ļøāļø
Let the performers have the stage. The architectsāthe quiet professionalsāare building the future. And when they finally reveal what they've built, it won't be a product launch.
It will be a paradigm shift.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davisā life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
