One million percent gains from dark web GPUs?

In 2010, bitcoin miners weren’t obsessing over price. They were scrambling for GPUs. Today, the same kind of hardware rush is unfolding around AI. Memory, storage and compute are tightening fast — and if history is any guide, the real opportunity may lie in the companies supplying the shovels, not the headlines grabbing the hype.

Is this little silver orb the key to making trillions?

Forget the orb. The real story is how easily AI can now build, design, and deploy products at scale. That changes everything and it’s happening faster than most people realise.

Hollywood is Freaking Out About AI

Hollywood isn’t panicking because of headlines. It’s panicking because the tools it once controlled are slipping into everyone else’s hands. After speaking at a major AI conference — and sitting down with the founders behind a company that slashed VFX costs by 90% — James Altucher explains why AI isn’t killing Hollywood, who really gets disrupted first, and why this moment may be the industry’s most creative reset yet.

Is AI a 'Super Sell'?

Of the entire GDP gain for last year — $174 billion — fully three quarters of it were from capital investment in the AI/high tech industry. Take it away...and most of the ‘growth’ vanishes.

369% is simply a Tale of Two Chippies

Sam Volkering argues that if you want to understand the true force behind the AI boom—and where the next major gains could be hiding—you shouldn’t start with Nvidia or the usual tech giants. Instead, he says the answer is buried inside a single PC part that’s quietly soared 369% in nine months. In this issue, he reveals what that surge means for memory makers, critical metals suppliers, and UK investors hunting for the next phase of the AI trade.

Sir Isaac Newton would’ve bought into the AI bubble now

The Great Divergence and Why Fear is the Real Bubble

Stripe co-founder Patrick Collison just shared data that says more about the global economy than any politician ever could. Since mid-2023, U.S. startups — even outside of AI — have dramatically outpaced their UK and European peers. The reason? Faster adoption of transformative tech like AI and stablecoins.

AI’s power problem rests in the hands of “transitioning” miners

Microsoft’s Satya Nadella just admitted the tech giant has more GPUs than it can power — and that single comment reveals the start of a new arms race. Former bitcoin miners are now fueling AI’s explosive growth, transforming from “proof-of-work” to “proof-of-compute.
