🎙️ EP 187: xAI’s Supercomputer Eats a City’s Power. DeepMind’s Cheap Spy Drops.

Elon Musk’s xAI just powered up a monster - a single-site AI cluster that now uses more electricity than San Francisco. And DeepMind? They just figured out how to monitor AI misuse 10,000x cheaper. Things are heating up (literally).

We’ll talk about:

• How Colossus 2 is changing the frontier AI race and what xAI’s trillion-token dreams look like
• Why DeepMind’s new “activation probes” could replace costly LLM safety checks
• The rise of “analog hobbies” and the wild 1,200% surge in yarn kit sales
• Google’s Gemini API doubling in 5 months and OpenAI hitting $20B revenue
• A new wave of tools like FlowGenie, Tofu Maps, and Noodle Seed, that actually work
