My conspiracy theory of the past two weeks:
1. Trump enters the Iran war in February 2026 expecting a short campaign. In my reading, Chinese support helps Iran prolong it.
2. Gas prices and inflation hurt Americans. Trump's popularity falls.

7. Espionage suspicions fuel scrutiny of Big Tech and hyperscalers as Democrats prepare to control Congress.
8. More scrutiny slows future compute expansion.
9. Less compute slows frontier-model development.
10. China gets time to close the AI gap.

In Between Futures 35, Rodrigo Conde argues that a US law won't stop China from developing frontier AI.
That's my concern: China gains ground when America's next servers take longer to switch on.
Listen to episode 35 with Rodrigo Conde and me.

It's very interesting to observe how companies, especially startups, are mirrors of their founders. (translated)

If that Spy’s goal was to destabilize one of the most successful American companies, they achieved their goal. Ousting Jensen feels rushed and not right.
Governance doesn't die. The only thing that will happen is that it will move out of the meeting room and into the company's day-to-day operations. (translated)

There are two types of people in the world: those that use AI to learn faster than they could and those that use AI to avoid learning it all together.

Three capabilities shape a technology advantage: spotting change early, acting on what you learn, and reaching the right networks before the opportunity is obvious.

My concern about restrictive Democratic policies: the US could slow its own AI infrastructure without slowing global competition. Five capabilities need to work together. These are not five claims about party policy.

5. Nuclear development. I see it as central, not exclusive or an answer for tomorrow. Other sources and grid expansion serve nearer-term needs. Long lead times are a reason to start early, not keep postponing.

Protect communities by addressing concrete impacts. An open-ended pause can cost learning and competitive capacity. The US can choose to wait. It cannot make the world wait too.

President Trump calls Jensen mid-interview at the All-In Summit to say AI taking over the world is a hoax
Jensen: "Mr. President? I've got to tell you something. If it wasn't because of you calling, I would... I'm on stage with the besties."
Trump: "You see, the great thing about life is that Jensen can develop the most complex computer chip in the world that nobody can copy for 10 years, but he can't figure out how to put me on speaker."
"So, the AI, it's almost a conspiracy, and the happiest group is China, they're very happy."
"I'm telling you, it's all a hoax. The data centers are great and they make people wealthy and they make states wealthy and it's the oil of the next 20, 25 years. It's bigger than the Internet."
"The robots are not going to be taking over the world and that's not going to happen. The AI will not be taking over the rest of the world. The whole thing is a hoax."
"Now, with that, we have to be a little bit careful, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop an industry. So I'm with you all the way."

If Fable 5 remains America only, it will lead to the largest exodus from Europe in history
Anyone who used Fable in the 3 days it was live knows it's the most powerful technology made in the history of our species
They know that those with Fable will have unlimited economic power. Those without Fable will be fighting with two hands tied behind their back and their legs frozen in a block of ice
Without Fable how could you keep up with someone who has it? How could you beat someone who can build products 50x faster than you. It’s technological steroids. It’s like De’Aaron Fox playing basketball against Michael Jordan. It’s no competition
In time Europe will realize all of this regulation was a mistake. They’ll do a massive deal with America to get access. Multi hundreds of billions of dollars
How could the current path go any other way?
Fable 5 is the greatest leverage a nation has ever had. The beginning of technological government intervention has only begun
