Why AI Is Reviving Nuclear Power: The 945 TWh Data-Center Surge Behind Big Tech's Reactor Deals

Why AI Is Reviving Nuclear Power: The 945 TWh Data-Center Surge Behind Big Tech's Reactor Deals

On July 1, 2026, a startup reactor powered live Nvidia AI chips in Utah — a US first. It's the flashiest sign of a bigger shift: global data-center electricity use is projected to roughly double to about 945 TWh by 2030, and AI is the main driver. That&

Is AI Making Us Worse at Thinking? What the '54 Brains' and '319 Workers' Studies Actually Found

Two of the most-cited studies on AI and the brain — an MIT Media Lab experiment that wired up 54 people's brains and a Microsoft/Carnegie Mellon survey of 319 knowledge workers — do not prove that AI makes you permanently dumber. What they actually show is narrower and

Can Custom AI Chips Dethrone Nvidia? The 80% Empire vs the 44% ASIC Surge

Nvidia still owns roughly 80–85% of the data-center AI chip market — but that's down from about 92% in 2023, and custom chips built by Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are growing about three times faster than merchant GPUs. This is the real "can anyone beat
