In a plot twist that feels like it was storyboarded by a caffeinated Reddit thread, Trump Media & Technology Group — yes, the same outfit behind Truth Social and the world’s most volatile meme stock — has decided it’s now a nuclear fusion company. Trump’s social media and crypto company is merging with TAE Technologies,…

When the Department of Energy announced it had signed agreements with 24 organizations to “advance the Genesis Mission,” the press release framed it as a historic collaboration to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, and drive energy innovation. But if you read past the patriotic varnish, the picture looks less like a coalition of equals…

After years of neon billboards screaming “AI Everywhere!!! All the Time!!!”, 2026 looks less like a victory lap and more like an audit. Stanford’s experts are clear: the evangelism phase is over, the evaluation phase has begun. The question isn’t “Can AI do this?” anymore—it’s “How well, at what cost, and for whom?”.

In The Republic, Plato famously banished the poets from his ideal city-state. Their verses, he argued, were too seductive, too capable of bending minds with rhythm and metaphor, leading citizens away from reason and truth. Fast forward two millennia, and the irony could not be sharper: today’s AI labs are discovering that poetry — the…

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has launched a department-wide AI Strategy centered on five pillars—governance, infrastructure, workforce, “gold-standard” science, and care/public health modernization—anchored by a “OneHHS” approach to unify data, compute, and models across its divisions. The official announcement positions AI as a catalyst for internal efficiency first, with future collaboration with…
