Big Tech’s AI mania is leaving carnage in its wake in Silicone Valley

Silicon Valley's AI frenzy is birthing "zombie startups" as Meta and Google deploy multibillion-dollar talent raids, licensing tech and poaching founders while leaving hollowed-out shells, dodging regulators and reshaping innovation.

• Deals skirt antitrust hurdles: Tech giants structure acquisitions as licensing pacts with minority stakes to avoid FTC premerger notifications, enabling rapid AI expansion without full buyouts.

• Talent payouts soar high: Founders like those from Windsurf and Character.AI pocket hundreds of millions, with key engineers following suit, often triggering mass departures and emotional turmoil among remaining staff.

• Company fates diverge sharply: Post-deal, Scale AI slashed 14% of its workforce, while Inflection AI hired 50 new employees to pivot toward enterprise products like its Pi chatbot.

• VC model faces disruption: Venture capitalists decry the shift from traditional IPOs or acquisitions, warning that secondary offerings can't compete, potentially consolidating AI power and limiting diverse tech ventures.

DHS Cracks down on Communist China’s imports made with slave labor

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security intensified its crackdown on Chinese imports, targeting steel, lithium, and other goods suspected of forced labor, blocking billions in products under the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act.

• New High-Priority Sectors: Customs and Border Protection now scrutinizes steel, copper, lithium, caustic soda, and red dates from China, expanding enforcement to curb forced labor in supply chains.

• Rebuttable Presumption Applied: Goods linked to Xinjiang or listed entities are presumed to involve forced labor, requiring companies to prove otherwise to avoid import bans.

• Global Supply Chain Impact: China’s dominance in lithium and rare earths complicates U.S. efforts to secure critical materials, prompting moves to diversify production to allied nations.

• Trade Tensions Escalate: The import ban aligns with broader U.S. tariff strategies, including recent negotiations reducing tariffs from 145% to 30%, amid ongoing trade disputes with China.

• New Chip Design: The B30A, a single-die chip, offers half the computing power of Nvidia’s flagship B300, aiming to balance performance with U.S. export compliance.

• Trade Policy Shift: Trump’s recent comments suggest potential approval for advanced chip sales to China, with Nvidia and AMD sharing 15% of revenue with the U.S. government.
