Amazon Drops Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman Biopic 'Artificial' Amid OpenAI Investment

Amazon has dropped its distribution of Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman biopic, 'Artificial,' citing a desire for a different studio to release it. This decision follows Amazon's significant $15bn investment in OpenAI, Sam Altman's company, and Jeff Bezos's friendship with Altman. The film, starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, is reportedly not a flattering portrayal.

Scottish charity warns "green datacentre" policy could ignore massive carbon emissions

A Scottish charity, Action to Protect Rural Scotland (APRS), warns that the government's policy on "green datacentres" lacks a clear definition, potentially allowing significant carbon emissions to be overlooked. Despite huge energy demands and planned gas connections for over 100 datacentre projects, the policy's climate impact analysis is outdated and doesn't account for AI development.

Middle East Sovereign Wealth Funds Pullback Could Drain Hundreds of Billions From AI Boom, Warns Tech Investor

Jack Selby, managing director of Peter Thiel's family office Thiel Capital, warns that a potential pullback by Middle East sovereign wealth funds could drain hundreds of billions from AI investments. Middle East investors account for about 25% of global AI investments committed over the next five years. If the Iran war continues and UAE/Saudi divert funds to rebuilding, data centers and tech companies could face significant impact. Oracle, Nvidia and Cisco are building a 5-gigawatt OpenAI campus in the UAE, while Microsoft plans $15 billion in UAE investment by 2029. Selby compares the AI boom to the dot-com bubble, warning it could be orders of magnitude larger when it busts.

Middle East Sovereign Wealth Funds Could Drain Hundreds of Billions From AI Boom, Warns Tech Investor

Tech investor Jack Selby warns that Middle East sovereign wealth funds could withdraw hundreds of billions from AI investments if the Iran war continues, diverting capital to rebuilding efforts. Middle East investors account for roughly a quarter of global AI investments committed over the next five years, with half dedicated to regional data centers and half to global projects. Selby compares the AI boom to the dot-com bubble, predicting the eventual bust could be 10-100x larger in wealth destruction.

Chinese firms face pressure on AI investments as US peers’ spending keeps soaring

Artificial intelligence investments by US tech giants continue to soar, dwarfing those of Chinese AI firms, but China’s rising appetite for AI applications will compel its tech companies to increase their AI spending this year, according to analysts. The largest US tech companies are on track for more than US$700 billion in AI capital expenditures this year, driven in part by rising memory costs and continuously growing demand for AI applications. Google and Microsoft on Thursday both said that...

US GDP Rises 2% in Q1 2026 as Iran War Drives Oil to $126, Pressuring Inflation

US GDP grew 2% in Q1 2026, driven by a 10% jump in government spending and 6.4% domestic investment in AI infrastructure. However, consumer spending is slowing as the war with Iran pushes oil to $126/barrel, raising inflation expectations from 3.8% to 4.7% in one month. The Fed's Powell warned of institutional independence pressures from the Trump administration while maintaining a hold strategy.

The companies plan to spend $650bn collectively on AI infrastructure in 2026, while over 92,000 tech workers have been laid off globally this year as AI replaces human labor.
