Replying to @SaraEisen
His success comes from disrupting industries (automotive, space) long thought to be immune from creative destruction. Turning each from zero sum mindset into abundant growth. Bringing that mindset to other industries (semiconductors, hyperscalers) shakes things up right at the point where everybody was rearranging deck chairs and starting to think zero sum.

Good read from @CTmagazine on the range of Christian responses to Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI. What I appreciate most is not that everyone agrees. It's that more people are engaging the conversation. Questions about human dignity, formation, work, community and flourishing are no longer theoretical. They are becoming some of the defining questions of the AI era. The church does not need to have all of the answers, but it does need to be in the conversation. christianitytoday.com/2026/0…

.@HyperFRAME_Res CEO and Principal Analyst @StevenDickens3 previews Oracle (ORCL) earnings, which he says center on the backlog and how it's being converted into revenue. "I'm expecting that backlog to increase quarter over quarter," he tells @sam_vadas and @MarleyKayden. "Oracle is part of an overall trend around how do we build out AI infrastructure fast enough to service demand." He remains "long-term bullish" on $ORCL.

U.S. inflation is back above 4%, reaching its highest level in three years. @DianeKingHall explains what’s behind the latest CPI report and how energy is driving the move higher. While headline inflation surged, core readings came in softer than expected. That leaves a mixed vibe for investors trying to gauge what comes next.

Tesla AI chip design engineering reviews are so great! Team is awesome. Our AI6 chip might set a record for most amount of usable intelligence from a wafer when factoring in yield.

Memory architecture is a technical challenge, but it is also a financial one. This clip puts the economics in clear terms. At the International Semiconductor Industry Group (ISIG) Executive Summit, Sandeep Bharathi makes the capital allocation case for memory pooling. When processors cannot access their full dedicated memory, the unused capacity is stranded, generating cost without generating value. Pooling that memory across systems can reduce total cost of ownership by 50 to 70%. The business model implications follow directly: lower TCO, faster time to first token, and higher throughput per millisecond translate to better margins for hyperscalers running inference at scale.
