HOW NVIDIA KEEPS ITS IRON GRIP ON THE AI BOOM

Nvidia generates more profit than almost any other public company on the planet, thanks to the astronomical demand for its chips prompted by the global AI boom. It has used its funds to become the industry's most powerful financier. The company's deals have grown the broader AI ecosystem by providing the crucial financing backing for companies crushed by the high costs of building the technology. It also keeps customers hooked on Nvidia's products and steers them away from rival chipmakers.

THE VISUAL SHIFT: WHY WORDS ARE LOSING

The logic that words force clearer thinking than visual artifacts is outdated, as the production cost of images is now significantly lower. Creating visuals is now easier and faster than writing text. Communication keeps moving towards formats that match how the brain naturally receives and stores information. The future of communication will look like a canvas. While language will remain the right tool for precision and nuance, the primary interface for sharing ideas, leading teams, and moving fast will be visuals.

APPLE'S HEIR APPARENT STEPS INTO THE SPOTLIGHT

Tim Cook, who has run Apple since 2011, probably doesn't expect to stay as CEO for another 15 years. He hasn't indicated any imminent transition, but he has made it clear he wants his heir to come from within the company so he can serve as a mentor. The leading candidate is John Ternus, senior vice-president for hardware engineering. Ternus is younger than many of the company's other senior leaders, meaning he could be in the position longer. He is well-liked among Apple's leadership and has won the support of multiple members of senior staff.

DOGFIGHTING IN SPACE WON'T LOOK LIKE THE MOVIES, BUT THIS COMPANY WANTS IN ON IT

A startup called True Anomaly has created a war-ready satellite platform designed for mass production. The Jackal spacecraft is designed for agility and maneuverability and could be used for orbital combat. About the size of a refrigerator, the Jackal is essentially a flying fuel tank with room for thrusters and sensors that can rapidly turn, approach, and surveil other objects in orbit. True Anomaly seems well-positioned to win a contract for the Space Force's upcoming RG-XX program.

READ LESS, STEER MORE

Don't treat AI output as code to read. If something doesn't work, just ask AI to rewrite the code exactly to the specifications. AI should be treated like a fast typist that is carrying out your will. If you know how you want something to look, make the AI do it the way you want - don't accommodate the AI.
