Deep & Emerging TechKalshi Ramps Up Effort to Build Markets for AI Computing Power
Kalshi building prediction-style markets around future compute prices is an early move to financialize AI infrastructure risk. If your roadmap depends on cheap GPUs, you may soon have tools to hedge that exposure — but you’ll also be competing with speculators when capacity tightens.
Deep & Emerging TechMicrosoft promised to be carbon negative. Its emissions just jumped 25%
A 25% emissions jump tied to AI data centers underscores the carbon cost of scaling models, even for companies with aggressive climate targets. If your AI strategy leans on hyperscale, expect more scrutiny from boards and regulators on embodied and operational emissions — and start asking vendors for verifiable climate data.
Deep & Emerging TechThis new macOS infostealer poses as an Apple crash reporting tool to try and steal all your valuable data
Malware masquerading as an Apple crash reporter shows how attackers are leaning on familiar UX patterns to bypass user skepticism. Lock down install permissions on macOS fleets and train teams to treat any unexpected “system” prompt as suspect, not trusted by default.
Deep & Emerging TechChip Giant CXMT Seeks to Raise $9.8 Billion in Shanghai IPO
A $9.8B STAR Board raise for CXMT is another data point that memory and commodity chips are being re-onshored and recapitalized at national scale. If you depend on DRAM or NAND pricing, start planning for a world where Chinese capacity and policy, not just Korean and US cycles, drive your cost curves.
