## Resource

OpenAI is reportedly discussing giving the U.S. government a 5% stake in the company, and Meta may be preparing to sell its AI compute power. Former Meta Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer maps out the future of tech’s infrastructure and consumption. Plus, to celebrate America’s 250th birthday, author Walter Isaacson penned “The Greatest Sentence Ever Written,” a deep dive into the first sentence of the Declaration of Independence. He reflects on the intention and legacy of America’s founders. Happy Fourth of July!
