Scott Griffiths shared thisThe Wall Street Journal is out with the news to #hyperscalers that continue to invest non-stop in their #AI #AiFinancing plans that IF their deals continue to close #privatedebt will be more expensive, even for the best companies. The second, negative, sentiment is that their deals might not close. The other thing for #equity investors is that if these #debtdeals do not successfully close more shares could be enroute from Meta, Google, Amazon and others.

Scott Griffiths shared thisThe Wall Street Journal just broke news that Apple is suing OpenAI for theft following OpenAI recruiting some of Apple's famed #industrialdesigners. The damaging part, if true, for OpenAI is that they are alleged to have instructed Apple #employees as part of the recruiting process of how to steal intellectual property. Outside of how expensive this could be for OpenAI, if they lose, is the hit to OpenAI's #hardware plans in disintermediating Apple from the OpenAI #Ai #physical interface. This opened up a huge opportunity for Google AI.

Scott Griffiths shared thisThe Information has news that Microsoft is the latest #AI company focusing substantial resources, $2.5B in this case, at bringing their customers along with more certainty via #professionalservices. This, combined with news that Ford Motor Company is bringing back 2,500 engineers today, shows that #AI is not delivering the kinds of results people expect in the time they expect them. The question is, where are things falling short?

For those of you who may not know who MGX is they are the largest #soverignwealthfunds in the world and large investors in OpenAI, Anthropic, SpaceX / xAI among others.

Scott Griffiths reacted on thisScott Griffiths reacted on this42 years ago today, I was out for a run in Houston. A tree fell on me, leaving me partially paralyzed. My parents instilled in me the values that carried me through my darkest days: hard work, perseverance, and faith in God. Our lives are not defined by our challenges, but by how we respond to them. Some say you need a spine of steel to lead. I actually have one. And I will never stop fighting for Texas.
