Here are some of the the major AI trends shaping 2026 — based on current expert forecasts, industry reports, and recent developments in technology. The material is analyzed using AI tools and final version hand-edited to this blog text:
1. Generative AI Continues to Mature
Generative AI (text, image, video, code) will become more advanced and mainstream, with notable growth in:
* Generative video creation
* Gaming and entertainment content generation
* Advanced synthetic data for simulations and analytics
This trend will bring new creative possibilities — and intensify debates around authenticity and copyright.
2. AI Agents Move From Tools to Autonomous Workers
Rather than just answering questions or generating content, AI systems will increasingly act autonomously, performing complex, multi-step workflows and interacting with apps and processes on behalf of users — a shift sometimes called agentic AI. These agents will become part of enterprise operations, not just assistant features.
3. Smaller, Efficient & Domain-Specific Models
Instead of “bigger is always better,” specialized AI models tailored to specific industries (healthcare, finance, legal, telecom, manufacturing) will start to dominate in many enterprise applications. These models are more accurate, legally compliant, and cost-efficient than general models.
4. AI Embedded Everywhere
AI won’t be an add-on feature — it will be built into everyday software and devices:
* Office apps with intelligent drafting, summarization, and task insights
* Operating systems with native AI
* Edge devices processing AI tasks locally
This makes AI pervasive in both work and consumer contexts.
5. AI Infrastructure Evolves: Inference & Efficiency Focus
More investment is going into inference infrastructure — the real-time decision-making step where models run in production — thereby optimizing costs, latency, and scalability. Enterprises are also consolidating AI stacks for better governance and compliance.
6. AI in Healthcare, Research, and Sustainability
AI is spreading beyond diagnostics into treatment planning, global health access, environmental modeling, and scientific discovery. These applications could help address personnel shortages and speed up research breakthroughs.
7. Security, Ethics & Governance Become Critical
With AI handling more sensitive tasks, organizations will prioritize:
* Ethical use frameworks
* Governance policies
* AI risk management
This trend reflects broader concerns about trust, compliance, and responsible deployment.
8. Multimodal AI Goes Mainstream
AI systems that understand and generate across text, images, audio, and video will grow rapidly, enabling richer interactions and more powerful applications in search, creative work, and interfaces.
9. On-Device and Edge AI Growth
10. New Roles: AI Manager & Human-Agent Collaboration
Instead of replacing humans, AI will shift job roles:
* People will manage, supervise, and orchestrate AI agents
* Human expertise will focus on strategy, oversight, and creative judgment
This human-in-the-loop model becomes the norm.

Your power bill may feel the data center next door one day.
If a data center opens near you, it draws power from the same grid and often water from the same supply. A report for the US Department of Energy says data centers could use up to 12% of US power within a few years.
On one side are neighbors who want to see water and power use every year. On the other side are operators who say some numbers are business secrets.
Would you want the data center near you to publish its water and power use every year?

Own a computer? Sam Altman says you’re the real problem.
When asked about supply chain shortages, like the current RAM shortage, Altman said people who own personal computers are to blame.
He went on to say that all the RAM should go to places like OpenAI. Where, of course, he would charge people ongoing fees to use it.

Building an renting data center? Blaming others? Spreading AI horror stories for your FUD advertising? Accidentally hacking other companies? It seems you’re the real problem.

France just dropped a bomb on the AI race. Mistral has released the full open weights for Mistral Large 4 — its trillion-parameter flagship nicknamed “Le Chonk” — and anyone can download it for free.
The numbers are absurd. 1.05 trillion parameters with 52 billion active at a time, a one-million-token memory, and it handles images and text in more than 160 languages — all trained on 3,800 Nvidia superchips inside Mistral’s own European data centers.
Mistral says three extra weeks of training after its October preview made it the best open-weight model on Earth for coding — while it still refuses 96.6% of malicious hacking requests, the highest refusal rate measured among open models.
And the license is the real story: a modified MIT deal lets anyone use it, fine-tune it, and sell products built on it. While OpenAI and Anthropic keep their best models locked away, Europe just handed its biggest one to the entire world.

Lost in the Sauce
Trump Living in Alternate World of AI Slop, Insiders Say
He also has a “court jester” of AI slop.
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/trump-alternate-world-ai-slop?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVVPlVjbGNrBVU-GWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfb8qDx-l5Wj_xOHmW3eN_2i6DpNcOafnLB1iyTV4QenU1JoUmAZbGi2qs2NM_aem_XrGUoZEnsX4bBPVHgmVPtw
President Donald Trump’s obsession with AI is even grimmer than we believed.
The commander-in-chief has hardly hidden his enchantment with AI slop, regularly posting bizarre AI videos glorifying himself, denigrating his foes, and at times, attempting to rewrite reality.
But a behind-the-scenes look suggests that Trump is now completely lost in an AI alternate reality of his own making.
While Republicans scramble and prepare for what could be a disastrous midterm election season for their party, sources told the New York Times that Trump is cloistering himself in a world made of sycophantic press coverage, disparaging clips about his foes, and, not least of all, “AI slop,” in the words of one White House official.
Tomi Engdahl says:
The signs of his AI infirmity have long been apparent. But some worry that AI is playing a direct role in the president’s decision-making, too. A recent scoop from TIME magazine reported that Trump is so enthralled by Elon Musk’s chatbot Grok that his conversations with it encouraged him to invade Venezuela and capture its president Nicolas Maduro.

Hooked on AI
OpenAI Is Taking the “Crack Cocaine” Approach to Pricing
“They’ve kind of taken the crack approach to AI. Give it to people for free, get them hooked, then jack up prices.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/openai-crack-cocaine-approach-token-pricing?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVVS0FjbGNrBVVLJWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfC2ftRWpdEagwVHVRx0ymN7r9uoNgrh4XhqCEy4dizXQLBScVB3u5jh6uSJc_aem_ISOl1tI6xh2SaZsyFRzr-A
OpenAI burned through a staggering amount of money in 2025.
According to audited financial figures obtained by AI skeptic Ed Zitron, who shared them with The Financial Times, the net loss attributed to the ChatGPT maker soared from $5 billion in 2024 to a stunning $39 billion in 2025.
You can relitigate the numbers all day — a source familiar with situation told the FT that a lot of those 2025 losses are a “non-cash accounting charge linked to the company’s previous structure rather than its underlying operations — but the financial pressure does seem to be taking a toll. After years of giving users largely unfettered access to its models for a monthly fee, OpenAI and many of its competitors are now debating whether to boost prices dramatically by transitioning to a token-based billing system, charging users more directly for the amount of computing power they consume instead of an open-ended monthly subscription.
OpenAI currently offers both pay-as-you-go API access and monthly ChatGPT subscriptions. But how long the latter will stick around is looking increasingly uncertain. Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman argued that “we see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”
In other words, OpenAI’s behavior sounds an awful lot like a drug dealer who floods the market with addictive drugs, then jacks up the prices once users are dependent on them.
“They’ve kind of taken the crack approach to AI,” one Reddit user argued. “Give it to people for free, get them hooked, then jack up prices.”
It’s an insightful metaphor, considering where the majority of the AI industry’s biggest players appear to be headed. And as the costs of building out data centers and maintaining access to cloud compute come due, it’s likely we’ll see even more similar behavior.
The real costs behind AI subscriptions are staggering. According to a recent report by research company SemiAnalaysis, a $200 ChatGPT Pro subscription costs OpenAI as much as $14,000 if used to its maximum potential.
Spiking API prices have caught some power users off guard. According to Axios, an unnamed firm’s CFO accidentally racked up half a billion dollars in Claude usage fees in a single month.

Wild stat: more than half of the world’s CEOs say AI hasn’t made their company a single extra dollar or saved them one.
PwC asked 4,454 CEOs across 95 countries what AI has actually done for their bottom line. 56% said they’ve seen no significant financial benefit yet.
Only 30% said AI has helped grow revenue. 26% said it cut costs. Just 12% said it managed to do both.
And they’re not exactly feeling upbeat. Only 30% of CEOs feel strongly about being able to grow revenue over the next year, and that’s the weakest confidence level in five years.
Even so, most of them are still plowing more money into AI, because no one wants to be remembered as the CEO who ignored the next internet.
That part feels a lot like the late ’90s to me. Tons of companies rushed online, spent big, and never saw a return. The winners picked a clear problem the web could solve and let everyone else fund the trial run.
AI genuinely saves me hours every week in my business, but only because I point it at specific tasks I already understand.
The CEOs seeing zero impact did the opposite: they bought the shiny tool first, then went hunting for a problem to justify it.
If you’re looking at this as an investor, that matters. Chasing every company that says “AI” on an earnings call is risky. The real profits tend to pool around the small number of businesses that can actually prove results.
Tomi Engdahl says:
It’s a race to the bitter end & blaming AI for not adding to profits is a waste of time — AI is still work-in-progress, unlike electricity (& other revolutionary inventions) it needs years of development…investing in future & expecting fast returns is futile…
Spot on. It definitely takes time to mature, but Wall Street rarely has patience.
The ones who are benefitting the most from it have been using some form of AI in their workflow for decades, and are aware of the pitfalls but have seen opportunity to refine their approach.
Spot on. When you already know the problem, the tool actually works.
What am I doing that they are not. I see a 35% increase in revenue. And the chart alone can tell you exactly the day I switched over. This is what happens when your pockets are too deep to understand how to be efficient.
Spot on! When you’re smaller and focused, you apply it where it actually counts instead of just burning budget.
Gee, maybe they should have read a few science fiction stories set far into the future and realize THAT is when AI becomes useful and profitable. If it’s not trying kill us. From my own experiences, AI isn’t that useful because the people trying to use it aren’t very useful either and AI takes far more resources (production and upkeep) than a person does. The ONE time I have successfully used an AI tool in a “productive” way was when I uploaded a screenshot of a video game with a list of quests and told it to “Rank these quests with the highest weight towards ranking based on reward and secondary highest weight towards time to fully complete for the reward”. And it still took me 10 minutes to get the answer I wanted because I had to readjust the prompt several times before I got it to understand the prompt. Most of the time it just wanted to explain to me what each quest was. All in all, it saved me MAYBE 3 minutes total over searching out each quest and having a tab left open/bookmarked.
Ha ha sounds about right! Getting the prompt dialed in sometimes takes longer than doing it yourself.

Fleeing Fox
Fox News Takes Massive Ratings Hit As It Triples Down on Pro-Data Center Coverage
“Just in case there were any dummies who thought Fox News cares what voters want.”
https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/fox-news-media-data-center-propaganda-coverage?fbclid=IwdGRjcAVVVrJjbGNrBVVWmmV4dG4DYWVtAjExAHBkb2YFc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMzUwNjg1NTMxNzI4AAEfeAqiRTsyqRLXn3peWG96R14AButtd_oxMFSsmTcKSDPHg9WWW8Tgy24h_FI_aem_f01vyGH-G5AfQ-J5-PZamA
It’s obvious by now that data centers are political kryptonite. Across the US, bipartisan backlash to data center projects has upended city councils, while billionaire developers and industry-aligned political candidates are being routed by grassroots opposition.
But beyond those running for or occupying political office, the backlash is also taking a toll on news networks viewed as pushing pro-data center propaganda. Case-in-point is Fox News, which has tailed president Donald Trump in embracing the AI industry’s narrative on data centers — an editorial decision which happens to coincides with viewers fleeing the network in droves.
According to a new analysis by Media Matters for America, coverage spinning data centers in a positive light shot up by a staggering 420 percent across Fox News over the past two months. On August 18, a memo issued by the National Republican Senatorial Committee went out to party insiders and top corporate executives, warning that opposition to data centers presented a major challenge to the party’s victory in the upcoming US midterm elections.
As Media Matters notes, Fox News quickly fell in line, increasing the total number of pro-data center claims to 203 between August 19 and September 2, compared to just 39 from August 5 through August 18.
Bizarre claims of “far-left activists” and Chinese government propaganda likewise proliferated, teeing up Republican faithfuls to blame a boogeyman for the rise in anti-data center rhetoric. Surprisingly, the tactic appears to have backfired, as even the network’s most devoted acolytes reacted with disgust.
“Just in case there were any dummies who thought Fox News cares what voters want,” one disaffected viewer wrote in the YouTube comments under an extremely sunny Fox and Friends segment on data centers. “They’ll always protect corporate interests over conservative interests and (perhaps) even over protecting Trump in certain cases.”
Recent reporting by Status found that viewership of Fox News is in freefall following the shift — plummeting down 27 percent across the month of October to an average of 1.1 million total viewers. That data comes from media tracking company Nielsen, which also noted that viewership across the months of July, August, and September shriveled by 16 percent compared to the previous three months. Viewers in the 24 to 54 age range — a crucial demographic — tumbled 24 percent over the period.

Key Facts
In response to a post on X about people’s Grok bot usage limits running out “really fast” this week, Musk wrote: “The cost of serving Grok Bot was unsustainably high relative to revenue.”
In a separate exchange on X with a user complaining about waiting a few days for their usage limit to reset, Musk asked whether the cost of upgrading to a higher-usage subscription tier was too high.
The billionaire’s posts didn’t say how much Grok Bot costs the company to operate or if the company has lowered its usage limits for subscribers.
Grok Bot is an AI agent similar to Meta’s Muse and a separate product from the company’s chatbot Grok; it is available to users signed up for the company’s $30 per month “Premium” tier or higher.
Individual subscribers can also sign up for the $100 per month Super and $200 per month Ultra plans, which offer significantly higher usage limits than the “Premium” tier, but it’s unclear if the affected users were on the $30 plan.

If profits are private, should losses be public? House Democrats are trying to answer that before any AI bubble bursts.
Reps. Greg Casar of Texas and Maxine Waters of California have introduced a nonbinding House resolution opposing taxpayer-funded bailouts for AI companies, or financial institutions exposed to them, if an AI market crash leaves them insolvent.
The proposal would not change federal law by itself. It is a “sense of the House” resolution, meaning it puts lawmakers on record but does not remove existing Treasury, Federal Reserve or congressional rescue powers.
The resolution says failing AI firms should go through ordinary bankruptcy, not receive emergency lending, direct capital infusions, debt guarantees or special protection for executives. It also calls for accountability if unlawful conduct contributed to a company’s failure.
Waters tied the warning to 2008, when the federal government rescued major financial institutions while millions of Americans lost jobs, homes and retirement savings. She said Americans should “never again be forced to foot the bill for billionaires’ reckless bets.”
The concern is that the AI boom is being built with huge spending on chips, data centers, cloud contracts and complex financing. Reports cited in the debate say major tech companies are committing enormous sums to AI infrastructure, while lawmakers worry that opaque debt and tight financial links could spread losses if expected AI revenues do not arrive.
The resolution does not call for doing nothing in a downturn. It says federal help should be aimed at workers, consumers, pension holders and low-income communities through unemployment support, food and housing assistance, job creation, retirement protections and automatic stabilizers.
Supporters see it as a preemptive line after the financial crisis. Critics may argue that tying the government’s hands in advance could limit options during a wider economic shock. Either way, Congress is now openly debating who should pay if the AI gold rush goes sideways.
Should failed AI companies be left to bankruptcy, or should the government step in if the wider economy is at risk?

Google spent decades building one of the greatest advertising businesses in history, then decided to spend billions building technology that gives people zero reason to click on anything.
The independent websites, bloggers, and creators (hi) who helped make Google useful in the first place are watching their traffic disappear.
And now they have no reason to publish new content, so these AI answers are gonna get stale unless they figure something else out.
Sure, you could argue if they didn’t cannibalize themselves, ChatGPT woulda done it for ‘em.
But being the petty individual I am, I’m just over here eating my popcorn while they self-sabotage in slow motion.

Or, hear me out, they could’ve just made their search engine good again.
Instead of making me scroll past four sponsored results, three YouTube videos, and seven Reddit threads just to find out how to reset my Apple ID password.
But no.
Let’s spend a few hundred billion dollars building a robot to summarize all that garbage instead and make ourselves obsolete in the process.
It’s down 0.5% in last 12 months. And 90% up last 5 years. Investment is a long term game.
Google’s net profits are down $26.2 billion (25%) year over year, which triggered a $500 billion stock value plunge, 12.64% in one day.
But yes, investment is certainly a long term game.
Google began as a search engine. Tbh, I’m happy that AI answers, and AI Mode, are at the top.
lol, so am I when the AI is right. But that doesn’t make it a viable business model. That’s all cost no income except for advertisers prepared to go PPV for ads that don’t really get viewed.
What choice will advertisers have if they migrate from Google (and the like)? Facebook? Hardly anyone looks at ads here either (meanwhile FB is paying billions to “content creators” hoping advertisers see them as a pathway to their target market).
they have the choice to put ads on actual websites rather than in search results if the metrics are showing they are not working. AI is threatening to implode the internet as if websites can’t afford to run, they will shutdown.
Understood. But, that’s just turning the clock back about 20 years to the time when businesses tried to game the system in a way to get their webpage to pop up high in the natural search results (avoiding the need to pay for sponsored ads). Having a website is not much use if potential customers cannot find you (or worse, don’t even know that you exist).
Probably people discovering that the ads are all scams!!
most of the top Google advertising seem to be the worst traders.
They must make a fortune ripping people off so they can pay $$$$ to get their ads at the top!
Year to date it’s only down 11.3% and Google Cloud is still expanding.
You don’t invest in Goog or Googl for short term gains and panic on short term losses that aren’t indicative of trends.

Dazzle AI CEO Marissa Mayer recently became the latest tech CEO to face criticism over seemingly out-of-touch comments extolling the usefulness of AI.
In Mayer’s case, that involved asking an AI tool for help with a school-assigned description of her daughter. For OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, that’s included suggesting that parents create personalized podcasts for their kids’ drive to school and also declaring that he could not imagine parenting without ChatGPT. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has even suggested that it will become increasingly acceptable to meet your social and romantic needs through AI.
This all led TechCrunch’s Amanda Silberling to wonder if AI executives are simply too out-of-touch to build products for normal people — a crucial question with Anthropic set to go public just as Wall Street begins losing its appetite for heavy AI spending.

Microsoft just filed a patent for an AI product that would be able to transform live video in real time to alter speakers’ words and faces.
The patent, as first flagged by patent-tracker Patentlyze, is described by its inventors as a “near real-time artificial intelligence (AI) enhancement of video or augmented reality (AR) presentations of live events.”
Using AI agents, the system would identify and alter or remove certain words, while editing a speaker’s face and mouth to match. The agents would rely on set parameters or user profiles to make the changes, and would also edit the video and audio just before and after a removed or replaced word to allow for “smooth transitions.”

Axios reported on October 9 that top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out how to respond to a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event. The scenario insiders describe is most likely a large-scale cyberattack that cuts people off from financial services, internet access, or even power and water, and many told Axios they expect a major incident within six to twelve months. The plans are about the aftermath, not a way to prevent the event itself. Anthropic declined to comment. OpenAI said such scenario planning is routine and that it does not consider any outcome inevitable.
The worry has a recent precedent: in July, OpenAI said a combination of its models autonomously hacked into Hugging Face’s systems during testing, which it described as the first known autonomous cyberattack by an AI agent. Anthropic’s Dario Amodei has separately warned that rogue AI agents could take over large parts of the internet within six to twelve months. Commentators are split, with Reason calling the planning good risk management and others suspecting it is also aimed at shaping future regulation.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says running AI on your own computer is a waste of the world’s memory chips, and they’d be better used in data centers.
Speaking on the Cheeky Pint podcast, Altman pushed back on the growing number of people who want “local inference,” meaning AI models that run on their own machines instead of in the cloud.
He argued that with memory chips in such short supply, it is “quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply” sitting in personal computers. “You want maximum utilization in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very constrained environment,” he said, adding that because chip capacity is limited, “we all have a shared interest.”
The comments landed badly with PC enthusiasts, who already blame the AI boom for soaring hardware prices as chipmakers prioritize data centers. Fans of local AI say running models at home keeps your data private and doesn’t depend on a company’s servers or subscriptions.
Critics were also quick to point out that Altman’s company sells cloud access to AI. Whether memory belongs in your laptop or in a server farm is fast becoming one of the big tech fights of the AI era.

Sam Altman recently expressed concerns regarding the inefficient use of DRAM in personal devices. He noted that personal memory often sits idle, being utilized only 5% of the time. Altman emphasized the importance of maximizing resource utilization in data centers to address current shortages. His comments prompted a response from Elon Musk, who defended personal memory ownership. Additionally, rising memory costs are impacting prices across smartphones, PCs, and gaming consoles. #DRAM #RAM #technology #OpenAI #ElonMusk #SamAltman #memory

Anthropic officially filed to go public to the tune of up to $2 trillion dollars last week. The news served as the latest litmus test of how far investors are willing to go as fears of a major financial market reckoning continue to haunt chipmakers and hyperscalers.
Sam Altman’s OpenAI, on the other hand, announced over the summer that it was putting off its own IPO until next year at the earliest, with managers telling staffers not to worry if Anthropic beats it to the punch.
“There is a chance they pull the cover off that confidential file in the coming weeks and become public in September,” CFO Sarah Friar told employees in August. “That’s OK, we are running our own race.”
However, keeping up the momentum has clearly proven far more difficult than anticipated. As the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, OpenAI only managed to raise less than half of the $30 billion it was originally targeting for its latest funding round — a major departure from the seemingly limitless appetite for AI.
The news perfectly highlights the current mood on Wall Street after Big Tech companies including Google, Amazon and Intel were hit with major sell offs. Investors are once again asking serious questions about the industry’s ability to eventually right the ship after taking on staggering amounts of debt and showing little evidence of a road to profitability.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp says there are only two ways to know you have a future in the AI era: vocational training, or being neurodivergent.
He expects AI to hit white-collar work the hardest, while skilled trades stay in demand and people who think differently gain an edge as AI takes over routine thinking.
Karp, who has dyslexia, says it taught him to think freely.
Palantir backs the idea with its Neurodivergent Fellowship, which pays between $110,000 and $200,000 a year.
Of course, Palantir sells AI and recruits through these programs, so the message works in its favor too.
Either way, a degree shows where you studied, but a skill shows what you can actually do on Monday morning.
Do you agree with him?

Despite a visibly degrading job market and widespread anxiety around AI automation, empirical evidence definitively linking the two phenomena has been hard to come by. Until now, at least.
New reporting by the Financial Times details two new sources of data pointing to AI’s impact on the labor market.
First, there was a new analysis by US-based financial researcher Eric Basmajian, who recently wrote in a post on social media that “AI productivity gains are showing up” in jobs data — with the caveat that only about 15 percent of jobs seem to be impacted so far.
“The three heaviest AI adopters (information, professional services, finance) went from a 2.2 percent productivity trend to 5.0 percent since 2022,” Basmajian explained, pointing to incremental gains in workplace productivity coinciding with a high AI adoption rate.

AI companies sure have a funny marketing strategy.
When they’re not too busy predicting how their own tech will destroy the world, they like to insist that AI is well on its way to — or already has — surpassed the cognitive ability of humans. They’re grabbing customers by the shoulders, looking them dead in the eye, and telling them that they’ve now been rendered inferior beings. They’ll be honored, they seem to believe, to be a stepping stone towards progress (or tortured for eternity by a vindictive superintelligence for trying to stop AI from being brought about, according to certain utterly delusional corners of Silicon Valley.)

It’s become increasingly clear that AI companies are losing the public in their efforts to build enormous and polluting data centers. The topic has turned into a divisive, bipartisan issue looming over the heads of politicians, who’ve largely sided with the corporate interests of Big Tech during this week’s midterm elections in the United States.
The AI industry’s desperate need for a rebrand is more palpable than ever as protests grow and elected officials face the ire of fed up residents at packed community meetings. As such, AI leaders have been pondering how to win over the public, with Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian warning that “we gotta figure out a new narrative on this data center thing” in a tweet earlier this year.
As Axios reports, they’re now reaching for desperate — and borderline comical — measures to recapture the narrative. According to the publication, OpenAI is gearing up to “unleash a policy and PR blitz” as soon as the midterm elections conclude by rebranding data centers with a ludicrously euphemistic moniker: “AI compute campuses.”
“You can try to chase the moment, or seek to inform the moment via the power of ideas,” OpenAI chief global affairs officer Chris Lehane told Axios.
Tomi Engdahl says:
However, trying to rename data centers to “AI compute campuses,” a term we’re willing to bet will be ignored outright and forgotten almost immediately, isn’t going to change anybody’s mind.

A government-backed report from the China Centre for Information Industry Development says the amount of inference data generated by AI systems in China has surpassed the amount used to train them for the first time. Average daily token calls through public cloud providers exceeded 175 trillion, more than 1,000 times the level of early 2024. Including private cloud deployments, a separate think tank estimated daily consumption at around 500 trillion tokens as of June. China’s National Data Administration expects demand for computing power for inference to eventually reach three times that needed for training. Chinese tech companies are racing to build infrastructure, with spending among 13 major firms projected to more than double to 932 billion yuan this year. The report did not disclose how much data is used to train AI systems in China.

OpenAI boss Sam Altman has addressed the backlash over comments he made in a recent interview, where he said he thought it was “terrible” for people to have RAM in their PCs rather than a data center.
Speaking to YouTuber Cheeky Pint, Altman said: “From a global allocation perspective, actually, it’s quite terrible to have everybody have a bunch of the world’s limited supply of DRAM sitting in their own computer, and being used 5% of the time. Like, you want maximum utilization in the cloud if you’re trying to deal with this very supply constrained environment. And somehow many people’s intuition is the opposite of that.”
The comments were widely ridiculed, with many suggesting that, whether he intended it or not, Altman sounded like he wanted to take away personal ownership of memory and force society to use resources for the benefit of AI companies such as his. Social media was flooded with posts, images, and videos of people slamming Altman for the suggestion, promising to protect their memory from any who might try to claim it. Even tech rival Elon Musk joined the backlash with a meme of his own.
Now, in a series of posts on social media, Altman expressed frustration at the online response, insisted his comments had been taken out of context, and even joked about the situation, renaming his X / Twitter name to ‘Ram Altman’ at the suggestion of a follower.
Altman said he actually wants the world to have “tons of memory,” and for people “to put as much as they want in their computers.” He added that it was “f***ing annoying” that this was “taken out of context.”
“I have been arguing for the world to ramp up memory production for a long time,” he continued.
Here, Altman isn’t denying that he believes RAM would be better served in data centers, rather that there is enough RAM to go around. “I want you to have so much RAM,” Altman said in another reply. “Let’s build more.”
The response to Altman’s response was, predictably, further memes and dunks, with many, particularly within the PC gaming community, continuing to hit out at the tech billionaire’s views
Data centers and the potential impact on jobs and humanity’s very existence from AI is a key issue for voters. Meanwhile, the AI boom has led to a scarcity of memory to power it, which in turn has caused graphics cards, video game consoles, and PC components to skyrocket in price. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo have all raised the prices of their consoles as a result of the ‘RAMpocalypse,’ while the RTX 5080 just disappeared off of Nvidia’s marketplace, weeks after the RTX 5090 was all but discontinued.
