Bit Tech commits $725bn capex; simultaneously cuts headcount at scaleMeta, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet have collectively signalled approximately $725 billion in capital expenditure for 2026 — up more than 75% year-over-year — almost entirely for data centres, custom chips, and AI infrastructure. Concurrently: Meta cutting 8,000 jobs in May, Amazon down ~30,000 roles, Microsoft offering voluntary buyouts to ~125,000 staff. • The pivot from payroll to compute is structural, not cyclical. • Source: Tech Startups, May 8 Continue reading The pivot from payroll to compute is structural, not cyclical.

Prompt (Claude AI) Does hantavirus only occur in ships? Are there moreexamples in say buidlings with poor pest control Output No, hantavirus is not specific to ships at all. Ships are just one environment where it can occur. Hantavirus transmission happens wherever infected rodents (primarily deer mice, white-footed mice, and rats) are present and their droppings, urine, or nesting material become disturbed and aerosolized. Common settings where outbreaks have occurred: Rural cabins and vacation homes — closed up over winter, mice move in, people stir up dried droppings when reopening Barns and outbuildings — classic agricultural exposure Construction sites — disturbing rodent-infested spaces Warehouses … Continue reading Hantavirus – what you need to know

OpenAI and Anthropic are both partnering with private equity firms in a bid to deploy their AI products to more businesses.  OpenAI is forming a $10 billion venture, raising funding from investors including Brookfield and Bain Capital, Bloomberg reported. Anthropic on Monday announced a $1.5 billion joint venture with Wall Street firms that is expected to act as a consulting arm for Anthropic.  The rival AI startups are racing to win over more enterprise customers — 20% of US businesses have adopted AI tools, mostly to “supplement a small number of employee work tasks,” Goldman Sachs analysts wrote. Both companies are focusing on a push … Continue reading OpenAI, Anthropic ramp up enterprise push

Orbital data centres: power constraint forces compute off-planet Worth highlighting from today’s briefing. New & Emerging Orbital data centres: power constraint forces compute off-planetAI hyperscale demand has hit a hard ceiling: a single facility now requires 100–500 MW, and US grid capacity and permitting timelines (5–7 years) cannot keep pace. SpaceX filed FCC plans in January for up to one million data-centre satellites. Starcloud filed for 88,000. Google’s Project Suncatcher is developing radiation-hardened TPUs for orbital deployment. Nvidia’s GTC 2026 launched the Space-1 Vera Rubin Module for in-orbit AI compute; Starcloud has already trained an LLM in space on Nvidia … Continue reading Orbital data centres: power constraint forces compute off-planet
