1. $500 Billion Stargate Project Launches šŸš€

Stargate Project is making waves in the tech world with a staggering $500 billion investment aimed at revolutionizing AI infrastructure in the U.S. Led by SoftBank and OpenAI, this initiative promises to create hundreds of thousands of jobs while bolstering national security and economic growth.

The first $100 billion will roll out immediately, starting with developments in Texas, signaling a strong commitment to American leadership in artificial intelligence. This ambitious collaboration among giants like Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Oracle indicates a transformative shift that could redefine career opportunities in the tech sector and beyond.

2. Microsoft Allows OpenAI to Have its Own AI Compute šŸ‘€

Microsoft and OpenAI have revamped their partnership to allow the latter access to competitor compute resources, moving from an exclusive Azure arrangement to one where Microsoft retains a right of first refusal on new capacity. This shift aims to bolster OpenAI's research and model training efforts amid ongoing concerns about adequate computing power, especially after a joint venture to build U.S. data centers called Starbase.

Despite the changes, Microsoft maintains exclusive rights to OpenAI tech for products like Copilot, and they continue their revenue-sharing model.

3. Google's AI Boost for Israeli Defense Forces āš”ļø

In a recent revelation from The Washington Post, it appears that Google swiftly provided its artificial intelligence technology to the Israeli Ministry of Defense shortly after the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023. Internal documents show that Google employees were racing to expand access to their Vertex AI service to prevent Israel from turning to Amazon's cloud services.

By late November 2024, requests for advanced AI technologies like Gemini were made as the Israeli military aimed to enhance its capabilities with AI-driven solutions.

4. Musk Shades OpenAI and Stargate Project šŸ˜³

Elon Musk threw shade at Sam Altman's ambitious $500 billion "Stargate" AI project unveiled at the White House, claiming that SoftBank, a key player in the venture, lacks the necessary funds. Altman's plan promises to revolutionize AI infrastructure and create countless jobs, but Musk's skepticism raises questions about the project's viability.

Meanwhile, President Trump praised the initiative, further entrenching the ongoing rivalry between Musk and Altman, who are both navigating the complex landscape of AI regulation.

5. Perplexity Launches Sonar API, Elevating AI Search Tools šŸ”

Perplexity has just unveiled its new API service, Sonar, which aims to enhance generative AI search capabilities for enterprises and developers by providing real-time internet connections for more accurate answers. With two pricing tiersā€”Sonar and Sonar Proā€”users can choose between a cost-effective option for basic searches or a premium version designed for complex queries, potentially reshaping how businesses utilize AI in their operations.

Notably, companies like Zoom are already leveraging Sonar to deliver real-time answers in video calls, signaling a shift towards more integrated AI solutions.

6. Google Boosts Anthropic with Another $1 Billion Investment šŸ’°

Google recently increased its stake in Anthropic by an additional $1 billion, bringing its total investment to a staggering $3 billion. This latest funding round follows Amazon's hefty $8 billion investment, signaling a robust interest from Big Tech in diversifying their AI portfolios.

With regulatory changes and less scrutiny on these financial maneuvers, we can expect a flurry of partnerships and investments in the tech sector.

Google NotebookLM vs. Gemini: Which Reigns Supreme?

With Googleā€™s recent updates to its NotebookLM it got us thinkingā€¦

Is NotebookLM BETTER than Gemini?

Weā€™re putting each to the test to find out which is king.

šŸ¦¾How You Can Leverage:

1 ā€“ AI Dropping 5-minute HD Bangers šŸ”„

What that means:

  • One prompt = full HD video content up to 5 mins long

  • Custom Pixar-style shorts based on your actual interests

  • Multi-angle consistency that finally doesn't look fake AF

Why it'll happen:

  • Sora's just the beta - Google's Veo2 already crushing physics understanding and how the frick did they do that?!

  • Hollywood Studios desperate to solve personalization will throw silly $$$ at AI video startups and probably acquihire some

  • Multi-scene tech finally cracked the consistency code (RIP janky AI video transitions)

2 ā€“ Death of Traditional Web Traffic āŒ

What that means:

  • 90% of new web content = AI-generated word soup

  • Publishers watching their traffic VANISH as AI answers everything

  • Content creation flipped from expensive-or-bad to cheap-and-decent, which makes the traditional content model that paved the way for LLMs to exist kinda moot 

Why it'll happen:

  • AI's eating its own tail - regurgitating content that gets re-scraped ad infinitum. Written content was already getting too AI spammy in 2024, and itā€™ll be pretty hard to read in 2025

  • Answer engines like Googleā€™s Deep Research crushing 1300+ site visits into one response so whoā€™s gonna actually want to go to these websites? 

  • Publishers losing both eyeballs AND data collection opportunities = broke

We talked about this topic in more detail in our AI Search Takeover episode.

3 ā€“ Social Mediaā€™s Deepfake Apocalypse šŸšØ

What that means:

  • Meta's AI profile disaster was just the appetizer

  • Zero fact-checkers + unhinged AI = chaos incoming

  • Real photos + AI video gen + perfect lip sync = nightmare fuel

Why it'll happen:

  • Every platform racing to remove guardrails (Grok's "unhinged mode" says hi)

  • 2024 tech wasnā€™t good enough. Now, itā€™s almost too good and it happened outta nowhere

  • No system exists to verify human vs AI content creators, though we really need one

I mean, just take a look at Microsoftā€™s SCARILY good VASA-1 AI Deepfake tool.

4 ā€“ The Great Copyright War Begins šŸ§‘ā€āš–ļø

What that means:

  • NYT vs OpenAI/Microsoft about to set precedent for EVERYTHING, though we figure it might settle

  • Millions of articles in the balance

  • Tech giants challenging the whole meaning of copyright, though we see that dragging out for years to come
     

Why it'll happen:

  • LLMs literally consumed the entire internetā€™s contents without permission, and now those creators are gonna be figuratively starving on the streets

  • Tech's "but we remixed it!" defense finally will get its day in court

  • Settlement money won't cut it anymore - publishers want blood and we see one big copyright case finally seeing a verdict. Though, we donā€™t know (yet) which way the gavel will bang.
     

Need to catch up on the NYT vs OpenAI lawsuit? We broke down the larger implications here.

5 ā€“ AIā€™s Influencers Killing Human UGC šŸ˜µ

What that means:

  • AI creators nailing that "authentic" vibe after months of glow-up

  • Ditching uncanny valley perfection for relatable content

  • Even got those awkward voice cracks & quirks down pat

Why it'll happen:

  • Gen Z smell fake authenticity from a mile away - AI finally cracked the code

  • Companies can pump out infinite "relatable" AI content without human drama

  • The UGC aesthetic beats polished content, and AI just mastered both. TBH, maybe now we wonā€™t see another entire generation of kids wanting to grow up to be influencers, cuz thatā€™ll be AIā€™s job. (Looking at you, young GenZers)
