Jensen Huang just called out every CEO who’s been firing people “because of AI.” Jim Cramer asked him why companies are laying people off if AI is supposed to make everyone MORE productive. Jensen's answer: "For companies with imagination, you will do more with more. For companies where the leadership is just out of ideas, they have nothing else to do. They have no reason to imagine greater than they are. When they have more capability, they don't do more." Read that again. The man who built the most important tech company on Earth just told you that if your CEO is using AI to cut headcount, it means one thing: They have no imagination. They have no vision for what comes next. They got handed the most powerful tool in human history and their FIRST instinct was to fire people. This is the CEO of NVIDIA. The company whose chips power every AI system on the planet. If anyone on Earth has the right to say "AI replaces workers," it's Jensen Huang. And he said the OPPOSITE. He said every carpenter could become an architect. Every plumber could become an architect. AI elevates capability. It doesn't eliminate it. But here's where it gets really interesting... During the same interview, Jensen revealed something nobody's talking about: He said AI startups like OpenAI and Anthropic are seeing their revenues increase by one to two billion dollars a WEEK. And he wishes these companies were public so the world could see what he sees. One to two billion per week. That's a $50 to $100 BILLION annualized run rate. For companies that most people think are burning cash and making nothing. The entire Wall Street narrative that "AI companies aren't profitable" might be completely wrong. Jensen sees their numbers. He sees their compute orders. He sees their growth. And he's saying the revenue is real. So if the money IS real, why are other companies firing people? Because they're not building AI products. They're not creating new revenue streams. They're not using AI to expand into new markets. They're using AI as an EXCUSE to cut costs because they ran out of ideas 3 years ago and need something to tell the board. Jensen's company added $500 billion in new orders in 5 months. He expects $1 trillion in cumulative revenue through 2027 from just two product lines. That number doesn't include the new chips, systems, or partnerships announced this week. And he's not cutting people. He's hiring. Because when you have imagination, more capability means MORE opportunity. Not less headcount. Meanwhile Salesforce cut thousands. Meta cut thousands. Amazon cut thousands. All blaming "AI efficiency." Jensen's response: You're out of imagination. He also said something that stuck with me. Cramer asked if he ever thought he'd build a $10 to $20 trillion company while waiting tables at Denny's. His answer: "I was just trying to make it through the shift." Biggest tip he ever got? Two, three dollars. Now he's building tech that increased computing demand by one million times in two years. He announced OpenClaw, which he says is as big as ChatGPT. And he's got 21 months of new business that isn't even counted in the trillion dollar figure yet. When asked how long he plans to keep working? "I'm hoping to die on the job. And I'm not hoping to die anytime soon." This is a man who believes every single thing he's building. And his message to every CEO using AI to justify layoffs is simple... You're not innovating. You're surrendering. The technology wasn't built to shrink companies. It was built to make them limitless. If your leadership can't see that, the problem isn't AI. It's THEM.

New data suggests small publishers (10k daily pageviews or less) are hit hardest by search traffic declines —Chatbots only drive 1% of all traffic referrals, so they can't make up the gap —News sites get most page views from AI platforms, but the lowest engagement @axios axios.com/2026/03/17/cha…

This story is 100% FAKE NEWS.  CNN decided to run this garbage based on three anonymous “sources familiar with discussions.”   This is despite the fact that myself, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of State, and multiple lawmakers (who were actually present for the recent classified briefing) have directly disputed this false reporting.  THE TRUTH: The Pentagon has been planning for Iran’s desperate and reckless closure of the Strait of Hormuz for DECADES, and it has been part of the Trump Administration’s planning well before Operation Epic Fury was ever launched.  The idea that Chairman Cain and Secretary Hegseth weren’t prepared for this possibility is PREPOSTEROUS. The President was fully briefed on it, and a goal of the Operation itself, to annihilate the terrorist Iranian regime’s navy, missiles, drone production infrastructure, and other threat capabilities is quite literally intended to deprive them of their ability to close the Strait. President Trump will not allow rogue Iranian terrorists to stop the freedom of navigation and the free flow of energy. Wiping out these terrorists who indiscriminately target civilians and attempt to hold the global economy hostage is part of the ongoing noble U.S. mission. The Fake News is working overtime to discredit President Trump, his Administration, and our U.S. Military, all of whom are working 24/7 to eliminate the threat of the Iranian regime. It’s a complete disgrace to witness this from the media, and we will keep fighting back against it.

Palantir CEO Alex Karp: "This technology disrupts humanity's train, largely Democratic voters, and makes their economic power less, and increases the economic power of vocationally trained, working class, often male voters. These disruptions are going to disrupt every aspect of our society."

A judge just fired a warning shot at AI agents. In Amazon vs Perplexity, the court said platforms can block AI agents from accessing their systems even if the user authorized them. In other words: user permission may not be enough. More: forbes.com/sites/johnkoet…

This resonates with me. Importantly, the conclusion is this: the core problems of software are STILL HUMAN PROBLEMS. - what to build - why - for who - to solve which problems Infinite execution is a trap. The real unlock is focused vision.

🚨 BREAKING RIGHT NOW 🚨 President Trump just openly declared GOD AS HIS LORD AND SAVIOR — then bowed his head in humble prayer as powerful pastors surrounded him and lifted him up to Heaven! This is what REAL leadership looks like. GOD IS IN CONTROL. America is turning back to Him! 🇺🇸🙏 God bless President Trump! RT if you believe God is moving 🔥

A bit of context: 1) The Verge went hard on subscriptions 2) Digital Trends is fairly low quality 3) CNET and ZDNET have been declining for years That said, yeah ... it's concerning.

No discussion of tech media can get past this basic traffic fact: in the AI world, Google and social no longer refer traffic, which means that the vast majority of readers just never find you in the first place. Analysis: growtika.com/blog/tech-medi…

1. Business idea: monitor prediction markets for quick surges, make smart bets quickly 2. Global intelligence agencies: do the same, be aware of tomorrow's news today Prediction markets are leak engines.

The second richest man on Earth just told a room full of investors exactly how he plans to WATCH you. Every minute and every day of your life. Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, a $320 billion government contractor stood in front of financial analysts and said the quiet part out loud. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on." Read that again slowly. Here's the system he described: Every police body camera in America streaming 24/7 to Oracle's cloud and officers can't turn them off. The camera is always recording. But here's the twist. It's not humans watching the footage, it's AI. Oracle's artificial intelligence monitors every feed in real time. If something happens, a shooting, an altercation, excessive force, AI flags it instantly. An alarm goes off and the chief of police is notified in seconds. "Every police officer is going to be supervised at all times," But he didn't stop there. He said the same system watches citizens too. Doorbell cameras, dash cams, security cameras, traffic cameras, drones overhead. All feeding into one AI-powered network, all analyzed in real time and is on Oracle's servers. And about those drones. Ellison says high-speed police chases should be eliminated, no more patrol cars. Just a drone that locks onto your vehicle and follows you. "It's very simple," he said, "in the age of autonomous drones." So who controls this system? Not you or your local government. Oracle. A private corporation with deep ties to the CIA, the Pentagon, and intelligence agencies around the world. A company whose founder built his first database for the Central Intelligence Agency. The same company now pitching itself as the infrastructure backbone of total surveillance. Critics are calling it a real-life 1984, the ACLU flagged it. But Larry Ellison isn't worried about any of that. He's worried about closing the deal. "There are so many opportunities to exploit AI," he told the room. This isn't a debate about whether AI can help policing, it can. The question is what happens when a private company builds a system designed to watch 330 million people and calls it a product. No vote was taken, the law was passed, and no citizen was consulted. Just one billionaire, one investor meeting, and one vision for a world where everyone is watched and told to behave.

Rent a robot? It's gonna cost you. At #MWC2026, AGIBOT launched a Robot-as-a-Service platform across 17 markets. Big step for access. Still a premium price for real work. Starting at $1,000/day. Ouch! forbes.com/sites/johnkoet…

I felt @jack was a massive asshole for vandalizing Twitter by endorsing @elonmusk & leaving. Thanks to @om's take on Block's "AI cuts," which are Jack's lack of business sense cuts, I feel 100% vindicated. Problem: other CEOs will copy this idiocy. om.co/2026/02/28/blo…

Employee: It looks like we made $1.3 billion this year. Boss: That’s terrible news. Employee: Uh, that’s a lot of money. Why is that terrible news? Boss: Because last year we also made $1.3 billion. Employee: Oh right, I forgot — it’s not enough to make an insane amount of money. We also have to make more than we used to. Boss: That’s correct. And simply paying our executives seven-figure salaries won’t cut it. We need more. Employee: Alright, I guess we could try making our product better to sell more. Boss: Hmm, that sounds expensive and hard. Employee: How about we create some new products to sell? Boss: No, that’s going to take forever. I need an immediate solution I can implement right now — something that makes me look really good and takes basically zero effort. Employee: Oh, please no. Boss: Layoffs!

Mark's take on this @Apple news: Apple just crossed a #security line nobody else in consumer mobile has touched #iPhone and #iPad running #iOS26 and #iPadOS26 are now approved to handle classified information up to the @NATO Restricted level, with no special software or custom settings required. That is a blunt signal to governments and enterprises that Apple’s built-in platform security now beats the “secure phone” cottage industry at its own game. This is BIG news! @LeoGebbie apple.co/4kUBn5O

@johnkoetsier AI can reroute trucks, but try getting a robot to sweet-talk customs during a port strike. Logistics will always need human cunning.

AI agents will soon be running robots. This means that where AI hits the white collar worker, robots hit the blue collar worker. And the Citrini Research thought experiment that went viral this past weekend looks pretty naive, actually. johnkoetsier.com/ai-agents-robo…
