SpaceX's $15B Anthropic Deal Signals Shift in AI Strategy
Anthropic is paying SpaceX $15 billion annually to utilize its Colossus supercomputers. Rather than competing in the AI foundation model race, SpaceX is positioning itself as the critical hardware layer below the models.
Smarter Than Geniuses: AI Solves Decades-Old Mathematical Mystery
An internal OpenAI model has disproven a famous Hungarian mathematical conjecture on unit distances. This isn't just brute-force computing; the AI developed beautiful, non-intuitive geometric designs that humans never imagined.
Salim Ismail's Blueprint for the AI-Native Corporation
Salim Ismail describes his 'rewrite' methodology, explaining how organizations must construct an AI-powered digital duplicate. Trying to squeeze AI into existing human-heavy workflows is the primary reason why 80% of corporate projects fail.
Look closer
The Moonshot mates analyze SpaceX's historic $1.75T IPO filing and its growing ties to Anthropic, OpenAI's AI model disproving an 80-year-old Erdős math conjecture, and GPT-5.5 beating Polymarket at forecasting.
