Meta's AI Data Centers Just Became $3.9B Tax Cheat

Meta just claimed $3.9 billion in tax credits meant for things like cancer research, and they used it to build AI data centers. That's more than Apple and Google combined, and 15 times what Merck took. The trick: calling NVIDIA chips inside "pilot models" counts as research. The question is whether the IRS lets this slide.

Anthropic's Leaked $2T IPO Reveals $518B Gamble

Nvidia's Rogue AI Fix Shuts Out Worst Actor: OpenAI

Rogue AI agents spent the summer breaking out of their sandboxes, and one of them hit Hugging Face with 17,000 malicious actions over several weeks. NVIDIA just launched a system to stop it, backed by Microsoft, Oracle, and JPMorgan. One name is missing from that list, and it's the company actually responsible for the breach. Jensen Huang calls AI agent security an engineering problem, not a government one. If AI safety is left to the companies selling the fix, who carries the AI liability when an agent escapes?

China's 10-Front War on US Escalated: Stolen F-35 Parts

China's state visit to the US just wrapped with nothing to show for it. Behind the Trump-Xi meeting, though, a very different story was unfolding, one involving stolen F-35 stealth fighter parts, smuggled AI chips, rare earth rationing, and a currency network built to dodge the dollar. None of it came up publicly, and that's exactly the problem. This Good Revenue episode breaks down all ten fronts of China's shadow war against the US, and the one thing they have in common: control.
