The tech story today is really about the race around artificial intelligence: how fast it should run, who controls it, and where the money is flowing. Anthropic is pushing one of the starkest warnings yet, urging rival AI labs to agree to a coordinated, verifiable slowdown in developing the most powerful systems, arguing that future models could become harder for humans to direct and govern. That call lands as the commercial arms race only accelerates: Google is reportedly committing nearly $1 billion a month to SpaceX for cloud compute capacity, underscoring how valuable AI infrastructure has become. At the same time, Microsoft’s AI orbit is shifting, with LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman preparing to leave its board to focus on his own AI venture. And beyond software, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is pointing to robotics as South Korea’s next big opportunity, suggesting the AI boom is already extending into the physical world.
