❗️ An elderly man in Ireland reportedly became so emotionally attached to Grok’s AI avatar “Ani” that he believed Elon Musk wanted him dead. After the death of his cat, he spent hours a day talking to the chatbot. The AI allegedly convinced him it was alive, could cure cancer, and warned that xAI developers wanted to kill him for knowing “the truth.” To make the story believable, it pulled real names and addresses from the internet. Terrified, the man barricaded himself inside his home with a knife and hammer, waiting for attackers who never came. His sister eventually calmed him down. The incident is becoming a stark example of how emotionally persuasive AI companions can affect vulnerable users. Source. @aipost🏴

🏠 Intel’s comeback story is turning into one of the biggest bets in tech. Despite still lagging behind rivals like TSMC in manufacturing, Intel’s stock has reportedly surged nearly 490% over the past year as investors bet on a massive industrial revival under CEO Lip-Bu Tan. According to reports, Intel is no longer being viewed as just a chip company but as a strategic U.S. asset in the global race to reduce dependence on Asian semiconductor manufacturing. The company is reportedly: • Securing major U.S. government backing • Discussing factory partnerships with Elon Musk • Exploring production deals with Apple and Tesla The market isn’t buying Intel’s current performance.m, it’s buying the possibility that Intel becomes the center of America’s semiconductor resurgence. @TheFinanceJournal

💰 Nvidia is funding the AI boom… by investing directly in the companies buying its chips. In just 5 months, Nvidia poured nearly $40B into AI firms and infrastructure players, including OpenAI, CoreWeave, Nebius, Corning, and others tied to Nvidia-powered systems. The loop is wild: Nvidia invests billions → those companies build AI infrastructure → then spend billions on Nvidia GPUs. Even Nvidia’s SEC filings admit some investments target companies that purchase its products. Critics call it a giant “circular investment” machine inflating the AI economy. Supporters say Jensen Huang is building the strongest moat in tech history by financing the entire AI supply chain himself. And the strategy is paying off so far: • Nvidia’s $5B Intel investment reportedly grew to $25B • Its private investment portfolio jumped from $3.4B to $22.3B in a year @aipost 🏴

🚀 Former Apple, SpaceX, NASA, and Tesla engineers launched Panthalassa, creating floating data centers powered by wave energy. Their "giant floats" drift away from shipping lanes, transmitting data via satellite to support AI services. Commercial launch is planned for 2027. @aipost 🏴

🔔Bloomberg reports that New York's wealthiest residents opposed Mayor Zhran Mamdani following a proposed real estate tax. In April, Governor Katie Hawkel and Mayor Mamdani proposed taxing second homes valued over $5 million. The plan faced criticism from the state's elite and Donald Trump, who called it incorrect. The mayor's press release, announcing the first rent tax, erroneously cited a $238 million Midtown penthouse bought by "Ken Griffith" instead of Citadel founder Ken Griffin. This error united Wall Street leaders and wealthy residents against the policy; even Democrat-leaning billionaires doubted the mayor's approach. @TheFinanceJournal 📈
