Claude’s daddy, Anthropic, just inked a deal with SpaceX (SpaceXAI) to use the full computing power of SpaceX’s Colossus 1 data facility, giving them 300 more megawatts in capacity.

Paid plans will now have double the Claude Code limit. So, win-win.

Here’s Anthropic’s statement on X (SpaceXAI), “We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.”

It’s good news for Anthropic who needed more computing power following a surge in interest in their ‘Claude Code’ and it’s good news for Elon Musk who was keen to win AI investors’ trust ahead of SpaceXXX’s upcoming IPO.

For anyone questioning Elon’s AI ambitions (‘AImbitions’ if you will), this is a clear and singular direction for the rocket manufacturer-turned AI/social media company. SpaceX will be an AI-first company (as evidenced by the SpaceXAI rebrand).

Anthropic does seem like an odd choice to partner with as previously, Elon criticised the rival AI maker, Tweeting out, “Frankly, I don’t think ⁠there is anything you can do to escape the inevitable irony of Anthropic ending up being misanthropic.”

But now Elon seems to embrace Anthropic with open “AIrms”.

In what was 100% a subtle dig at Sam Altman, Musk wrote that “No one set off my evil detector,” after meeting with the Anthropic leaders who convinced Elon they were ensuring Claude would be “Good for humanity.”

So now the real question is, what happens to poor old Grok?

With this collaboration (and the dissolving of xAI), will Twitter’s own controversial AI chatbot be put down like a sick dog so Claude can take center stage?

Hopefully not.

Hopefully, Claude, Gemini, Grok, ChatGPT, and all the rest will have a FIGHT TO THE DEATH, and only the last one standing will be allowed to suggest slightly incorrect stroganoff recipes to me.

Xbox, the one X-themed company not owned by Elon Musk, is in dire straits at the moment, facing declining sales made worse by several crucial business missteps.

Just this year, Microsoft Gaming’s revenue has been down 7%. Content and services: down 5%. And hardware revenue (mostly from Xbox consoles themselves) is down 33%.

But now with new CEO, Asha Sharma, at the helm, Xbox is making some rapid U-turns.

Firstly, she’s dropping development on the wildly unpopular AI gaming assistant ‘Copilot’. This tool was pitched as “your personal gaming sidekick with Xbox.” Oh, cool, I bet there were lots of things it could do, right? “With in-game assistance, get unstuck, pass roadblocks, and level-up your gameplay.” Oh nice, so it can do real-time walk-throughs that’s a cool feature, what else can it do?

“The guide you want, when you want it. Brainstorm strategies and get tips or insights with personalized coaching.” Ah, OK, so it can just do walk-throughs. Gotcha.

Sharma has also shaken up the Xbox leadership, bringing over four colleagues from her former AI division and shuffling around a number of other roles.

Last month Sharma also ended the “This is an Xbox” marketing campaign (presumably because people now know what an Xbox is), she dropped the ‘Microsoft Gaming’ branding, unveiled a new logo, and cut the price of the Xbox Game Pass.

(Just an aside on ‘This is an Xbox’. The whole campaign was designed to say that anything could be an Xbox, your phone, your TV, your laptop, basically saying that you don’t need to buy an Xbox anymore. Just an incredible self-own, guys.)

All smart changes, but will they be enough to right the sinking ship and compete with overachievers like PlayStation and Nintendo?

Good question! Let’s ask Gaming Copilot (Beta)! Hey, Copilot, will Xbox get back on track and become a successful gaming console again?

“Sure, I can offer tips… hints… anything you need.”

Ok, yeah, well, an answer to my question would be great.

“It really depends on your playstyle. If you’re looking for an AOE blast, ‘Weaver’s Bliss’ is the way to go. But if you like attacking from a distance, definitely go with ‘Amflied Rend’.”

…What? What are you talking about? Someone shut this thing down. Oh, you have? OK, great.

That’s a great question, thanks for asking…

Anthropic! The minds behind your best friend, Claude, have just unveiled 10 finance-first AI tools, and so, in no particular order, here are our:

TOP TEN FINANCE-FIRST AI TOOLS UNVEILED BY ANTHROPIC:

Pitch builder, which, wait, let me guess, builds pitches?
Meeting preparer, err, does it… prepare meetings?
Earnings reviewer, reviews earnings, I presume?
Model builder, OK, it builds models. I get it.
Market researcher, it RESEARCHES MARKETS. I understand.
Valuation reviewer, reviews valuations, yes. I know. Are they all going to be named like this?
General ledger, I’m understanding the pattern now. It ledges generals.
Month-end closer, closes the month-end? What? What are you talking about?
Statement auditor, audits statements. OK, I think I know what that means…
KYC screener, KYC is ‘know your customer’, so this tool screens know your customers. Yeah. That makes sense.

Pretty useful stuff. Well, presumably useful if you’re a bank or other financial entity. And apparently these tools work across Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Microsoft 365 and Outlook (but not yet, hold your horses, they’re still working on that one).

But the question remains: is AI the future of finance? Well, that’s a great question, thanks for asking, but of course, we won’t know until the future arrives. Anthropic certainly thinks so, but they are an AI company, so they would say that.

A better question (but in much worse English) might be, is AI the present of finance? And to that the answer is: yes.

AI has already had a massive influence on the financial world, not only with the economic impact of the ballooning tech sector, but in the application of AI tools in finance. Trading and investment, underwriting, auditing, and anti-money laundering have all made use of bespoke AI tools.

In fact, finance was one of the first sectors to embrace machine learning technologies, beginning way back in 1987, “When Security Pacific National Bank launched a fraud prevention task-force to counter the unauthorized use of debit cards.” At least that’s according to my buddy John Wiki Pedia.

So AI has very much been a part of the finance world’s past and present. If you had to guess, it seems a safe bet to say AI will be part of finance’s future too.

TLDR: Yes.

The world’s richest man, Elon ‘The World’s Richest Man’ Musk, has announced that his AI company xAI will completely merge with his rocket company SpaceX to form the obviously-named ‘Xaispace’.

Sorry, no, I got that mixed up…

Since xAI already merged with ‘the social media platform formerly known as Twitter’ (X), the new company will acknowledge this legacy and be named SpaceXX(formerly known as Twitter)xAI. Or SpaceXXXAI for short.

Except… that domain is already taken by an incredibly not safe for work website, so we’re just going to go with SpaceXAI for now.

Is that all clear?

Great. Now, you might be asking, what do AI and space have in common? Well, other than both being a soulless void, space could easily be the next frontier for AI investment. You see, if no one in Texas wants an AI datacenter, we have to look somewhere else that has lots of space.

And there’s only one space with more space than Texas:

Space.

Yes, the grand plan is to deploy orbital datacenters to handle Earth’s growing AI usage. And if that all sounds like science fiction, well, it is until it happens, but Blue Origin and Microsoft are all looking in the same direction:

Up. (Space.)

We’ll just have to wait and see how this merger will affect SpaceX’s upcoming IPO but if things stay on track, SpaceX is due for a massive $1.75 TRILLION valuation with a little bit of xAI sprinkled in to sweeten the deal.

Sorry, sorry, I said ‘SpaceX’ again. Old habits. I MEANT to say:

The risk to the American public is “extremely low,” said the CDC

After an outbreak of the very-scary-sounding ‘hantavirus’ on the luxury cruise ship MV Hondius (which also sounds like a disease tbf), a number of passengers have now returned to their respective countries, including… America. Oh shit, that’s here!

Reportedly, the states of Georgia and California are monitoring residents who aren’t showing signs of illness.

It’s also worth noting that hantavirus only spreads from rat to human, not human to human (except in the rare cases of the Andes strain, but we just won’t mention that). So this is great for everyone and not so great for my cousin Björn, who works at a ‘rat zoo’ which I’m not sure is even a thing, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen him kissing the rats a couple of times, and I said that was disgusting, but I’m pretty sure he still does it.

Anyway, three people died during the outbreak. Although only two are actually confirmed to have had the virus.

Rats.

In a statement, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control (why is that plural?)) said, “The Department of State is leading a coordinated, whole-of-government response including direct contact with passengers, diplomatic coordination, and engagement with domestic and international health authorities.”

‘Whole-of-government’? Not sure how the National Nuclear Security Administration is going to be much use here, but by all means, let them weigh in on this one.

The ship had passengers from 23 countries, consisting mostly of crew from the Philippines but including people from the UK, US, Spain, the Netherlands, Germany, should I list them all? Ok, fine, I’ll list them all: France, Ukraine, Canada, Australia, Turkey, Belgium, Ireland, India, Greece, Japan, New Zealand, Argentina, Poland, Russia, Portugal, Montenegro and GUATEMALA!

And the ship was sailing from Argentina when the outbreak suddenly occurred. Some passengers have already been evacuated but most are still onboard and will be quarantined when they arrive in Tenerife on May 9.

Stay tuned to see how this plays out.

In a collab advert (a ‘collad’ if you will), FOX Sports, FOX One and Indeed are doing a cross promotion to promote their separate services across each other, promotionally.

The advert is billed as “a nationwide search to fill the position of “FOX One Chief World Cup Watcher Hired Through Indeed” – a dream job for cultural moment fanatics across the country.” Well, as a ‘cultural moment fanatic’ myself, this sounds very exciting indeed.

And to add to the excitement, this is being billed as a real job paying a massive $50,000 salary to watch all 104 matches across the 39-day tournament. The winner will be tasked with live-streaming the World Cup from “their personal office – a custom-built, dream viewing space in the heart of New York City’s Times Square.”

And all using the FOX One streaming platform, of course.

How To Apply

So first, you need to have an Indeed profile or make one (and there’s the rub).

Set it to “employers can find you.”

Then post a video on social media explaining why you’re right for the job with the hashtag #ChiefWorldCupWatcher.

So, you know, how you’d apply for any other definitely real job.

And If You Get The Role…

…It’s going to be an interesting one to put on the resume.

“Now I’m seeing a gap in your employment history here: it just says ‘watched the soccer’?”

“Oh, no, that was a job. A real job Hired Through Indeed™. I was paid $50,000 to sit on the couch and watch soccer for a month. It was real, I didn’t dream it, I swear!”

Though to be fair, at least one person’s getting paid. How many people have been doing this for free every World Cup, like a sucker? All this time, you could have been earning a fortune? Who knew.

Do you think they can backdate these payments…?

Damn, we really got $80 GTA 6 before GTA 6…

Take Two’s CEO, Strauss Zelnick, recently alluded to GTA 6’s price point at a video game conference and for some reason, this prompted Bank of America’s Securities Stock Analyst, Omar Dessouky, to weigh in.

“We also heard from attendees that the industry, which is perceived as struggling, would have difficulty selling games for $80 if GTA 6 came out at $70. We think it’s in Take-Two’s self-interest, as a publisher and partner to many developers, to raise the price point for the entire industry.”

And just to prove how in touch he is with the game industry, Dessouky doubled down on his point, saying that this high price point makes sense because “AI will raise the value of games to consumers.”

Of course, we don’t know what the price of GTA 6 will be, but for Zelnick’s part, he’s been saying that yes, game pricing does not reflect development costs…

“…If you look at it through that lens, that doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. But that isn’t the lens through which we look. Instead, we look at… how do we deliver something amazing, and how do we make sure that what people pay for it feels very reasonable.”

So the question is, what’s reasonable?

Last year, Nintendo took the plunge with Mario Kart World, retailing at $79.99, $20 more than standard Switch games. The move was met with widespread criticism, but MKW went on to sell 14 million copies, so who’s laughing now?

This could really go either way. Rockstar certainly doesn’t need to charge $80. Everyone knows this game will be a hit and continue to be a hit for another decade after it’s been released. GTA 6 will likely make as much as a small country’s economy, no matter the price point.

And Take Two probably aren’t too fussed about the rest of the industry, no matter what BoA wants them to do. So the only question is, is it worth them squeezing the consumers just a little more?

I say go further, I say they should HIT ‘EM WITH A CROWBAR AND TAKE THEIR CAR TOO. IT’S THE GTA WAY!!!

Like… no?

Elon Musk, the richest man in the world, isn’t done yet and just announced his plan on X to become even richerer.

Replying to a Tweet (Xweet) that Musk will soon pass the $800 billion net worth milestone, Elon said simply, “$10T or bust.”

And look, the world is already bracing itself for the first ever trillionaire, let alone someone of ten times that value. For reference, only the US and China have GDPs higher than $10 trillion. Germany and Japan take third and fourth place, and they’re not even worth $10 trillion COMBINED.

According to Peter Diamandis, founder of the X Prize Foundation, Elon holds an estimated 2.7% of America’s GDP. The last person to do that was JD Rockefeller in 1913.

“Rockefeller had oil. Musk has the future,” says Diamandis.

And it’s true. With SpaceX’s upcoming IPO set to launch Musk’s wealth into the stratosphere, we could very much have the world’s first trillionaire on our hands.

But that’s not the only win that Elon’s been racking up lately. His ongoing civil case against OpenAI, has successfully hamstrung his AI rival for the foreseeable future.

And Musk recently settled on a different case, this time with the SEC, paying a fine of $1.5 million for failing (ALLEGEDLY) to disclose purchasing Twitter (ALLEGEDLY). Now that might sound like a lot of money, but it’s peanuts compared with his net worth and the $150 million that the SEC was originally trying to hit him with. Big W for the ‘Lon.

So will Elon Musk successfully sue OpenAI? Will he reach one trillion? Ten trillion? Or will he go completely bust? There’s only one way to find out… wait and see.

Did they really think they could buy eBay?

Michael Burry, the investor made famous in The Big Short, just sold his entire position on GameStop, bringing to an end one of the greatest crossover episodes of all time.

Since 2019, Burry has been involved in the GameStop saga, but after the game retailer’s CEO, Ryan Cohen, suggested they could buy eBay for $56 billion, Burry pulled out and GME’s stock plummeted 10%.

Come on guys, everyone knows you should only make your final bid in the last minute.

Burry’s retreat was announced on his Substack newsletter, ‘Cassandra Unchained,’ in which he explained that GameStop is simply going to be saddled with a lot of debt should the deal go through.

“Wall Street does indeed mistake debt for creativity, and does so constantly,” Burry wrote. “I of all people should have known.”

Burry does, however, “support the effort” to combine the platforms and capitalize on the billion-dollar collectibles market. He just doesn’t think GameStop’s financial structure can take the weight.

And hey, this might all be hypothetical anyway, as eBay will likely “reject GameStop’s offer out of hand” according to Burry.

So what you’re saying is… so you’re saying that this deal is already… dead and Burry-ed?

Alright, alright, I’ll let myself out…
