Image prompt: Vintage book-jacket illustration of an Edwardian Dublin newsagent’s window at soft overcast morning, an oversized open ledger inside its columns of ink figures forming a rising and falling market chart, a bar of lemon soap and a pocket watch and a cloth-bound Shakespeare-and-Company-blue book arranged on the sill, a silhouetted man in round wire spectacles and straw boater reflected faintly in the glass, bold serif title BUSINESS set like a book jacket across the top with generous margin, flat inked color, letterpress and screen-print texture, cream paper white with slate gray and lemon yellow and a single warm brick accent, landscape 16:9, gently sun-faded.
The end of the self-funded AI buildout? Hyperscaler cash capex is growing much faster than cash inflows. On current trends, they will be unable to fully fund the AI infrastructure buildout with cash from operations by the end of this year.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining OpenAI and look forward to working with the exceptional team there. It was a difficult decision to move on. I’m incredibly proud of the amazing team at Google and everything we’ve built together. It has been an honor and a pleasure to

If the leaked financial data is right, OpenAI is profitable on serving customers with 40%+ gross margins. But training remains incredibly expensive. Automating AI research may also be a play to increase the efficiency of training: a superhuman researcher could do more with less.

Noam Shazeer – co-author of the Transformer, T5, and Switch Transformer papers, and one of the pioneers of sparse MoE models – is leaving his VP Engineering / Gemini co-lead role at Google DeepMind to join OpenAI This is likely the most significant AI talent move of the year.

Official now: SpaceX is officially buying Cursor in an all-stock deal valued at $60B. The move gives Elon Musk’s AI empire a serious enterprise coding product overnight, and could help xAI close the gap with Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex. However, the truth is that
https://x.com/kimmonismus/status/2066863066898116954
SpaceX acquired Cursor for $60B. A lot of people dismissed Cursor as just a “GPT/Claude wrapper” and a VS Code fork. But it became a company capable of post-training its own models. That is a big reason Elon wanted it. I think more companies will post-train custom models to

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon.

Big issue with AI strategies at big companies which realized the importance of AI last year (which is only a small subset, most are still not moving fast) is that, in the best case, they developed their strategy in late 2025, before the agentic revolution Things changed since…

We are in the most comfortable “”normal technology”” phase of AI for enterprise: it enables productivity gains, but still needs integration into workflows – stuff we have seen before! Yet it is very possible that this is a waypoint, not a stable phase. AIs may integrate themselves
