Quoting a Sept 19 post, sierracatalina frames the past 22 days of AI news as proof that energy, compute and data are now the exclusive new currency. The roundup: Anthropic signed a $15B compute deal with SpaceX; Baron put in $5B of his own money; xAI shipped a Wikipedia alternative with 6 million articles overnight; Musk claimed Tesla's chip will be 2-3x Nvidia at 10% of the cost and gave AGI a 3-year deadline; Baker predicted one or two Mag 7 companies would go extinct, faster than anyone expected.
