Apple and Tim Cook lose.

I yelled "Queer kids need you" at Tim Cook the last time I was around him. Our team at the Heat Initiative, a nonprofit working to keep kids safe online, tried calling on someone who we thought was one of the last Big Tech CEOs with a heart, to stop selling unsafe phones to kids. Being the first openly gay man to head a Fortune 500 company, I hoped he would shatter the glass ceiling and allow more young people to envision a path of excellence. He carved out enough space for him to step through and join the other tech billionaires in their private world. Americans who were about to run our country were shown by the Big Tech oligarchy at Trump's inauguration. It was expected that the two men would play the teacher's pet. Cook donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. I had positive things to say about Cook....

How do you think the energy crisis may unfold?

There are headlines about a national energy emergency, paralyzed power grids, and even the resurrection of the Three Mile Island nuclear facility. It sounds like a tech horror film. We've seen this movie before, and it has an elegant ending. Remember the early 2000s, when everyone predicted that data centers would consume the power grid? The story took a turn that was unexpected. Between 2010 and 2018, computing power went up 500%, but energy use went up by just 6. The secret wasn't more power plants, it was smarter design. We're going to watch that story unfold again with the help of Artificial Intelligence....

It's going to be an ugly problem because of Trump's tariffs.

Tech companies postponing IPOs is putting more pressure on the VC market, leaving investors hesitant. According to PitchBook, global tariffs are causing supply chain concerns which may eventually affect VC appetite for artificial intelligence investments. According to a new report from PitchBook, Silicon Valley's hopes of a venture capital comeback in 2025, have been dashed by Trump's global tariffs. Several major tech startups have put their IPO plans on hold due to the turbulence in global equity markets. The disruption is putting even more pressure on an industry already dealing with a slowdown in both tech IPOs and M&A activity. "If the latest iteration of tariffs stand, we expect significant pressure on fundraising and dealmaking in the near term as investors sit on the sidelines and wait for signs of market stabilization," the analysts said. The first quarter of the year had several positive developments, such as CoreWeave completing its IPO and OpenAI securing a $40 billion funding round, but these topline successes masked a more difficult reality across the market. In the first quarter of the 20th century, artificial intelligence captured 71.1% of all U.S. venture capital....

Alternative Media Insights

Note: As we venture into the realm of alternative media reporting, it is essential to acknowledge that not all sources are created equal. While some outlets offer crucial counter-narratives and insights, others pose a significant risk of misinformation, perpetuating controlled opposition or serving as wolves in sheep's clothing, intent on misleading their audience with agendas designed to confuse rather than inform.
