This isn’t just a shift in strategy, it’s a bold signal about how we might learn, engage, and consume in the AI era.

TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

📉Dot-Com Déjà Vu: What the AI boom needs to remember

The current AI wave is thrilling breakthroughs every week, soaring valuations, and a flood of startups promising to change the world. But if this all feels familiar… that’s because it is.

Industry veterans are drawing sharp parallels between today’s AI boom and the dot-com bubble of the early 2000s. Back then, it was websites. Today, it’s LLMs.
The warning signs? Overhype, underdelivery, and a rush to scale without substance.

According to a recent analysis, many AI projects today are chasing buzz rather than building long-term value. We’re seeing inflated promises, underbaked products, and “AI-washing” across industries.

But there’s a silver lining: we’ve been here before. And smart founders, investors, and operators can choose differently this time.

✅ Focus on real-world use cases, not just demos.
✅ Build for outcomes, not optics.
✅ Invest in responsible, scalable infrastructure.

The dot-com crash didn’t kill the internet, it cleared the fog. Amazon, Google, and PayPal survived because they built value behind the vision.

AI SPECIAL EDITION

🚧 When policy closes a door, innovation builds a Detour Nvidia’s bold China play

Nvidia isn’t backing down in the face of U.S. export restrictions. Instead, it’s adapting fast.

The company is set to begin shipping a China-specific AI chip as early as next quarter, strategically engineered to comply with new trade rules. But that’s not all a modified version of its powerful Blackwell chip is also in the pipeline.

This move isn’t just about market access. It’s about resilience through innovation. Nvidia’s strategy highlights a powerful truth for tech companies navigating geopolitics:
Adaptability is the new moat.

As global regulations evolve, the ability to design, iterate, and deploy region-specific solutions at speed could define who leads in the next era of AI.

The broader question?
Are we entering a future where every breakthrough has to be tailored by borders?
