AI Sovereignty Wars, Palantir-Nvidia Deal, SCOTUS Birthright Ruling, Newsom’s CA Budget Lie
Palantir and Nvidia launched a partnership to establish a Sovereign AI Operating System, enabling U.S. government agencies to retain full ownership of their hardware, data, and model weights through customized open-source Nemotron models.

Trump, Tim Dillon, Chamath, Jason, Friedberg, David Sacks
The White House recently imposed indefinite export restrictions on NVIDIA's H20 chips, projecting a $5.5 billion earnings hit while prompting debates over whether enforcement will accelerate China's domestic semiconductor ambitions or effectively curb dual-use technology flows. Simultaneously, the Trump administration is contesting Harvard University over federal funding mandates, freezing billions in grants after the university refused to dismantle DEI programs and face a potential revocation of its tax-exempt status based on civil rights precedents.
