These are the tech CEOs young people trust most and least when it comes to AI
Even the most trusted name on the list was backed by just 35% of respondents

Nvidia may have just built its own hyperscaler without owning a single data center
The neoclouds are burning cash by the billion. Nvidia just lined up the money to keep them building
Why it matters: Nvidia has quietly assembled every piece of a cloud giant, and it doesn't even need to own the buildings. That is the theory making the rounds, and once you see it laid out, the last two years stop looking like a chip company having a very good run and start looking like a plan. The financing arrangement Nvidia signed this month with BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and four other Wall Street heavyweights, aimed at funneling more than $500 billion of outside capital into AI data centers, would be the last piece clicking into place. Most outlets filed it under the now usual "more AI money" headline, but there is a more interesting read.

Authorities have recovered millions in stolen equipment, including $550,000 in Meta server switches
TL;DR: Cargo thieves are targeting equipment used in AI data centers, from server switches to cooling systems and networking hardware. In two recent California cases, criminals appear to have used car crashes to separate trucks from their security escorts before the shipments vanished.
