Congress’s removal of federal AI preemption leaves roughly 70 state laws and more than 1,000 proposed bills, potentially creating a compliance moat for incumbents and slowing startups.America’s power race is increasingly constrained by supply chains and permitting: gas turbines ordered today may wait until 2030, while new nuclear may arrive in 2032-33, making AI-driven growth dependent on capacity execution.
Fed Hesitates on Tariffs, The New Mag 7, Death of VC, Google's Value in a Post-Search World
Chamath PalihapitiyaJason CalacanisDavid SacksDavid FriedbergPhilippe Laffont
The Fed’s 4.25%-4.5% hold is not inherently bearish: resilient Visa and Mastercard spending contrasts with weak sentiment, while 2.4% March CPI and a potentially durable 10% tariff regime support patience.Microsoft processed 100 trillion AI tokens in Q1, reinforcing Laffont’s view that token demand may outweigh tariff risks amid reported chip and compute shortages.Apple’s first search-volume decline in 20 years makes Google’s roughly $200 billion search-ad business newly modelable, while its $75 billion annual model spend creates a self-cannibalization risk.
White House BTS, Google buys Wiz, Treasury vs Fed, Space Rescue

Google’s $32 billion cash acquisition of Wiz reflects a possible “Trump premium” on M&A while giving Google a multicloud beachhead inside AWS and Azure.The price implies roughly 60 times trailing run rate or 32 times forward ARR, yet Google may need roughly $10 billion in incremental annual profit to meet its approximately 30% return-on-invested-capital standard.Crew Dragon’s 16 crewed flights and Starliner’s effective failure reinforce SpaceX’s near-term moat, while China’s Long March 9 keeps manufacturing capacity an unresolved strategic risk.
Epstein Files Flop, State of the Market, Autonomous Robots, Trump's Gold Card, Friedberg on Jeopardy

Chamath sees tariffs, slower immigration, and DOGE lowering second-half growth from 2.5% to 1.5%, while the 10-year yield’s fall to 4.26% credits austerity.Stripe’s $1.4 trillion volume, 38% growth, and $500 million Billing ARR strengthen its ecosystem case, while humanoid robots’ dexterity, Gold Card compliance, and private-market access remain unresolved catalysts and risks.
