The FORUM ep. 52 is live in 2 hours!
Communities across America are demanding moratoriums on data centers.
Kevin O'Leary is backing a 40,000-acre project in drought-stricken Utah.
When residents pushed back on water and environmental concerns, he said the protesters were "bused in" and suggested China was behind the opposition.
Meanwhile, @nvidia just launched chips for orbital data centers in space. And is also helping put mini data centers on the side of people's houses.
In 2025 alone, local opposition delayed or cancelled data center projects totaling $156 billion.
Is the pushback legitimate, or is it slowing down the infrastructure America actually needs to stay competitive?
Are giant centralized facilities even the right model anymore?

Meta is tracking every click and keystroke its employees make to train the AI replacing them. While cutting 8,000 jobs during its fastest revenue growth in five years.
Oracle made workers train their own replacements. Then clawed back their unvested stock on the way out.
Coinbase fired people for not adopting AI fast enough. Then cancelled 6,000 open roles it planned to hire.
882 tech jobs are disappearing every single day in 2026.
And the billionaires building the technology want the government to send everyone a check.
Is that a safety net or a distraction from who actually owns the robots?
This week we are getting into it live on the latest edition of The FORUM!

Gn $CIA ⏳🕵️♂️
Remember, we have some of the brightest minds on our team and we are somehow at 20k mc.
We have @JohnKiriakou@profdiggity@ivycybered
For those new to the space it’s like having Mikey (@JohnKiriakou ) and Data ( @profdiggity )from the goonies both being on-boarded.
Can confirm. This is floating around Discord and afaik forums like Nanochan.
Given past experience and what I've been reading, I'm skeptical of #Mythos and a lot of the vulns are probably for edge cases + very old software + hype about severity. However, @Mozilla and others have been patching legitimate vulns.
Be vigilant for a rise in automated attacks. Compute is cheap enough, especially when distributed, for even #AI slop attacks to do damage. And there is likely a wave of #0day exploits coming. "Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every now and then"
Solana's stablecoin ecosystem just hit $17 billion.
It was at $2 billion when one of our portfolio companies, @solsticefi, started building.
We sat down with Solstice's own @ben_solstice and @RyanDay to find out exactly how they got here, where yield on Solana goes next, and why traditional finance is terrified of DeFi.
Watch here:

During our @IvyCyberEd class last night, @JohnKiriakou answered questions from Brenden, Joat, Santino, radman, & Dante from the $CIA #crypto community.

This is awesome, questions answered exclusively for the community and the ones who submitted also get a real physical $CIA medallion. It will be shipped throughout the week so make sure to take pictures when they are received. @JohnKiriakou@profdiggity@ivycybered thank you so much for this.
As mentioned we have a lot planned and are here for the long haul, thank you for all your patience.🕵️♂️
Most founders think visibility requires a massive budget.
Paid conference slots. Sponsored placements. Award programs with a nomination fee.
Don't believe it.
The best founder brands are built on free channels. X Spaces, podcast guesting, YouTube, long-form writing.
We've interviewed founders on The BOOM ROOM and ended up investing. The interview was the pitch.
Founder led content creates a door that stays open 24/7 without needing an intro.
