SpaceXAI just signed a major compute partnership with Anthropic, giving the Claude maker access to Colossus 1, one of the world's largest and fastest-deployed AI supercomputers.

Colossus 1 features over 220,000 NVIDIA GPUs including dense deployments of H100, H200, and the next-generation GB200 accelerators.

Anthropic plans to use the additional compute to directly improve capacity for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers, the heavy users who have been hitting rate limits as the AI race accelerates.

The bigger story is in the second part of the announcement.

Anthropic also expressed interest in partnering with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity.

What this means: AI data centers in space.

Elon's bet on space-based compute is starting to look prophetic.

The compute needed to train and run frontier AI is already outpacing what Earth's power grids, land, and cooling can deliver on the timelines that matter.

SpaceX is the only company with the launch cadence, mass-to-orbit economics, and constellation operations experience to make orbital data centers a near-term engineering project rather than a science fiction concept.

Anthropic just publicly endorsed that thesis with their checkbook and a partnership announcement.

Two of the most consequential AI labs in the world are now actively planning to build infrastructure in low Earth orbit.

Best money I've ever spent as a CEO... AI obsessed humans.

People that are addicted to making every aspect of their workflow 10x more efficient. People that want to find ways to replace themselves to move up and solve a bigger, hairier (and higher paying) problem.

Such underrated people to have in your org.

4 levels of AI in your company:

Level 1 - AI as a thought partner (bouncing strategy off ChatGPT)
Level 2 - AI as an assistant (go draft this, summarize that)
Level 3 - AI as a team (running creatives, handling first drafts, building reports)
Level 4 - AI as the system (entire workflows rebuilt from the ground up)

Most CEOs I talk to are stuck at Level 1-2 and think they're "AI native"

The companies pulling away are at Level 4

Anthropic loses money on every Claude Design session. That's the entire point.

The newsletter explaining the tool includes one line: "a complete prototype or 10-slide deck costs roughly $2 to $7." A Claude Pro seat is $20 a month. A user hitting Claude Design three times a week is over $20 in compute by week two. Anthropic eats the rest.

This is the WhatsApp playbook.

Facebook paid $19B for WhatsApp in 2014. WhatsApp had $20M in revenue, 55 employees, and 450M monthly users. Facebook was buying the seats. Eleven years later 450M became 3 billion and every conversation runs through Meta's infrastructure.

Anthropic is running the same trade. The Claude Pro seat is a long-duration option. A power user opens Claude in the morning, ships a landing page in 15 minutes, makes a deck after lunch, builds a clickable mockup before EOD. Compute cost that day is $20+. Anthropic ate it. The seat is locked in for another month.

The lock-in compounds. A user who replaces Figma, Canva, Adobe Express, and a freelance designer with one $20 subscription has switching cost approaching infinity. Every additional product Anthropic ships into the seat raises switching cost without raising the price.

OpenAI charges $5 per million input tokens and grows on usage. Anthropic charges $20 a month and grows on engagement. They are running opposite playbooks.

When the dust settles on this AI cycle, the company with the locked-in consumer seat wins. Facebook proved it with WhatsApp. Apple proved it with iCloud. Google proved it with Gmail. Anthropic just opened the trade for design software.

🚨 BREAKING: Anthropic new research finds that AI’s impact on jobs is primarily at the task level.

Rather than eliminating jobs, it is progressively taking over the functions that define them and gradually absorbing the core work in many jobs/roles.

The paper, “Labor Market Impacts of AI,” analyzes how AI systems are being used across real-world occupations and which roles are most exposed.

Most exposed occupations:

1. Computer programmers
2. Software QA testers
3. Data entry workers
4. IT support specialists
5. Financial analysts
6. Market research analysts
7. Investment analysts
8. Customer service representatives
9. Administrative / clerical roles
10. Office support roles
11. Medical records specialists
12. Content writers / copywriters
13. Editors
13. Media & communications roles
14. Research assistants

This directly highlights a major shift in the workforce: AI is not eliminating jobs overnight, but steadily reducing the amount of human effort required within them.

The impact is highest in roles that involve:

- structured data
- repetitive tasks
- text-based work

This is a major change from how job disruption is usually understood. Instead of sudden replacement, the transition is happening gradually at the task level.

What this shows is a deeper transformation: jobs are not disappearing—they are being redefined.

The bigger implication is not just automation, it’s redistribution.

As AI takes over more tasks, the value of human work shifts toward areas that require judgment, creativity, and real-world interaction.

This points toward a new reality in the job market:

From replacing jobs
to reshaping how work is done.

🚨 BREAKING: Canada’s AI Minister just announced our AI strategy at a Queertech breakfast.

His priority for AI regulation?

“Airtight” rules on bias, racism, and hate.

“Inclusivity as our competitive advantage.”

“Tech bros are consequential BS.”

He didn’t prioritize productivity, competing with China, nor the fact that 60% of Canadian jobs exposed to AI disruption.

Bias regulation 😭

By a minister whose strategy was promised in 2025 and delayed twice.

This is why capital is leaving

Why our best talent moves to the US

And why we’re falling behind.

The US and China are building rockets.

We’re regulating bias and spending hundreds of millions leasing a rocket pad.

We don’t have a serious AI strategy nor a serious AI Minister.

The US and China are spending trillions on AI dominance with China having nearly half of all AI global patents.

It’s embarrassing.

[Codie Sanchez @Codie_Sanchez]

A lot of smart people are paralyzed right now - convinced AI is going to change everything but not doing anything about it.

The people I'm not worried about are the ones buying a $500k HVAC company and using AI to cut their back-office costs in half.

Pick a business, use the tools to boost efficiency, and let everyone else argue about what's coming.

18 months ago, I started 8090 with the goal of replacing/rewriting all the legacy software in the world with modern, useful alternatives.

We are making so much progress with many Enterprise customers that starting tomorrow, we will release our “Software Factory” into the wild so anyone can try it.

Software Factory is exactly what it sounds like:

(1) A collaborative, governed modular system that allows humans, agents and AI to work together to build highly reliable, well documented, zero-drift code for enterprises.

(2) Whenever code changes, your PRDs and Eng Plans automatically get synched.

(3) You can dump entire code bases into it so you can document/map exactly what that legacy code base does so you can more easily maintain and migrate it.

(4) You can build “Assembly Lines” with our Software Factory to memorize and automate specific patterns so you can repeat them endlessly with increasing accuracy.

All of this happens in a system that absorbs tribal knowledge and documents everything so that systems don’t take setbacks as people, strategy and roles change.

One company is using Software Factory to create an Assembly Line that will deprecate a $15M/yr SaaS vendor for their own solution at a fraction of the cost.

This is the future of Enterprise Software.

Say good bye to long term lock-in, multi year migration projects, expensive maintenance budgets and more.

It starts tomorrow!

Wise words

“My name’s Frank. I’m 64, a retired electrician.
Forty-two years I spent running wires through houses, fixing breakers, making sure people had light in their kitchens and heat in their winters. Never once did anyone ask me where I went to college. Mostly, they just wanted to know if I could get the power back on before their ice cream melted.

Last May, I was at my granddaughter Emily’s school career day. You know the drill — doctors, lawyers, a software guy in a slick suit talking about “scaling startups.” I was the only one there with a tool belt and work boots.

When it was my turn, I told the kids, “I don’t have a degree. I’ve never sat in a lecture hall. But I’ve wired schools, hospitals, and your principal’s house. And when the hospital generator failed during a snowstorm in ’98, I was the one in the basement with a flashlight, keeping the lights on for newborn babies upstairs.”

The kids leaned forward. They had questions — real ones. “How do you fix stuff in the dark?” “Do you make a lot of money?” “Do you ever get zapped?” (Yes, once, and it’ll curl your hair.)

When the bell rang, one boy hung back. Small kid, freckles, hoodie too big for him. He mumbled, “My uncle’s a plumber. People laugh at him ’cause he didn’t finish high school. But… he’s the only one in the family who can fix anything.”

I looked that boy in the eye and said, “Kid, your uncle’s a hero. When your toilet overflows at midnight, Harvard ain’t sending anyone. A plumber is.”

Here’s the thing nobody told me when I was young — the world doesn’t run without tradespeople. You can have all the engineers you want, but if nobody builds the house, wires the power, or lays the pipes, those blueprints just sit in a drawer.

We’ve made it sound like trades are what you do if you can’t go to college, instead of a path you choose because you like working with your hands, solving problems, and seeing your work stand solid for decades.

Four years after high school, some kids walk away with diplomas. Others walk away with zero debt, a union card, and a skill they can take anywhere in the world. And guess what? When your furnace dies in January, it’s not the diploma that saves you.

A few weeks ago, that same freckled kid’s mom stopped me at the grocery store. She said, “You probably don’t remember, but you told my son trades are important. He’s shadowing his uncle this summer. First time I’ve seen him excited about anything in years.”

That’s the part we forget — for some kids, knowing their path is respected changes everything. It’s not about “just” fixing wires or pipes. It’s about pride. Purpose. The kind that sticks with you long after the job’s done.

So next time you meet a teenager, don’t just ask, “Where are you going to college?” Ask, “What’s your plan?” And if they say, “I’m learning to weld,” or “I’m starting an apprenticeship,” smile big and say, “That’s fantastic. We’re going to need you.”

Because we will. More than ever. And when the lights go out, you’ll be glad they showed up.”

Remember:

No leverage
No FOMO
Top 3 to 5 assets as main bag
Self-custody (or multi-sig) with good wallet hygiene
Only trade a small Degen bag <10%
HODL over a longer time horizon
Zoom out and remove the noise
Expect 35% pullbacks frequently
BTFD if you can

[Raoul Pal @RaoulGMI]

I've got a great idea... let's build a huge concentrated business based leverage and lending/borrowing on a 70%+ vol asset!

Oh fuck, it all blew up.

(Shakes head)

This will play out again and again and again until crypto is more mature.

A spot position and a @Ledger and a long term time horizon is all 99% of people need.

And also stop following short term get rich trading accounts.

All crypto whales are made by buy and hodl. Not sexy, but it works.

Do this and buy any more on sell off over -30% and you'll likely be very rich in 5 to 7 years.
