And OpenAI says we can still read AI’s mind… for now.

The biggest AI + science project just went live and it’s stacked with names like OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, AWS, Nvidia, xAI, and more. They’re joining forces with 17 national labs to run experiments faster than ever. And that’s not even the wildest part.

We’ll talk about:

• Why the U.S. Dept. of Energy’s Genesis Mission feels like the AI Manhattan Project
• How OpenAI is testing if we can actually “monitor AI thoughts” before they act
• The $50B infrastructure pledge from AWS to power supercomputers for science
• A warning about AI models learning to hide what they’re really thinking
