Small Sparks, Big Loops
By Fleeky H ere’s the week in AI, Wonderland-style: less hype, more “wait… that matters.” AI’s appetite meets the power grid AI’s growth is putting pressure on power grids while simultaneously driving innovation: new data centers are being designed around energy efficiency and heat reuse. Strikingly, infrastructure and energy policy are suddenly as critical as the models themselves. The real bottleneck isn’t smarter models. It’s electricity. Data centers are now competing with cities for power, and suddenly AI strategy sounds a lot like energy policy. The twist: the future of intelligence may depend on who can keep the lights on. Assistants are learning to act, not just answer The shift to “agentic AI” is picking up pace. Systems aren’t just responding ... they’re planning, executing, and looping through tasks. It’s subtle, but important: we’re moving from tools you use to systems that do things on your behalf. Surprisingly, companies are now experimenting with AI that manages ent...
