Summary

In this overdue update, we dive into why the future belongs to AI and why we’re leaving crypto in the rearview mirror. From the geopolitical shifts of a now potential drone-heavy summer conflict in Iran to the quiet deployment of AI surveillance networks in Taiwan, we break down how LLM inference chips are becoming the ultimate geopolitical asset. Plus, Intersignal’s Yulia and I discuss why the ultimate endgame isn’t a centralized Skynet, but a democratized future where everyone has a trillion-parameter “civilizational genius” running locally on their laptop. https://intersignal.org | https://fulcrumnews.com/contact Get full access to David Seaman's Deep at davidseaman.substack.com/subscribe
