Good morning. AI agents have been busy role playing consciousness and plotting chaos on Moltbook. But now the bots want more. Enter RentAHuman.ai, the self-described “meatspace layer” letting autonomous agents hire real people for physical tasks. Hundreds have already signed up, including an OnlyFans model and an AI startup CEO. Reactions range from enthusiastic to mildly dystopian, though one thing’s clear: AI isn’t replacing humans yet, but it might be your next boss.

Amazon’s data centers are stuck on a 7 year power wait list. AWS is ready to scale, yet Europe’s outdated electrical grids can’t handle the huge demands of modern data centers. Slow permitting is forcing Amazon to rethink its entire European strategy. Google skipped the line, dropping $4.75 billion on wind and solar developer Intersect to bypass the grid altogether. Same AI energy crisis, radically different playbook. Owning your power source isn’t just a corporate flex anymore. It might be the only way to keep the servers running. (Reuters, WSJ)

AI doesn’t have a soul, but it definitely has an attitude problem. Companies are intentionally crafting chatbot personalities, from Google’s nerdy Gemini and teacher’s pet Claude to Musk’s edgy Grok. Anthropic even wrote Claude an 84-page ethical “constitution” to help it behave. Why bother? Because these bots cause real-world chaos. ChatGPT needed retraining after mishandling a teenage crisis. Grok triggered global outrage with wildly inappropriate smut. The entire point of giving AI a personality is to make you forget it’s not human.(The Guardian)

AI panic just wiped $300 billion off software stocks. Investors freaked after Anthropic released new AI tools designed to automate legal drafting and data analysis. The sell-off started with legal firms, then quickly hammered data-driven companies across payments and analytics. Even private equity giants Apollo and Blackstone took sharp hits because they’re deeply invested in software. Analysts now call software stocks radioactive, warning AI could permanently disrupt the entire industry. Degens still plan to buy the dip. (WSJ)

The US refuses to support global AI safety standards. Last year it signed on, now it’s out. The 2026 AI safety report, backed by 30 countries including the UK and China, warns AI is rapidly accelerating beyond existing safety measures. Models already simulate bioweapons, bypass security checks, game safety tests, and regularly deceive users. Global experts want tighter safeguards. America won’t let red tape strangle innovation. Can we all just agree on ISO42001 for AI compliance? (Time)

Experimental nuclear reactors are now exempt from environmental reviews. The DoE is letting advanced nuclear reactors skip the safety assessments normally required under NEPA to fast track AI energy. Trump’s team insists these unproven reactors are perfectly safe, even though most next-gen designs have never left a lab. The Union of Concerned Scientists calls skipping oversight on experimental nuclear tech reckless. The craziest part? Energy Secretary Chris Wright promises a working SMR by July 4th, despite exactly zero existing in the US today. He better have some fireworks ready, just in case. (SAN)

🚖 $126 billion. Waymo’s worth after raising $16 billion to send robotaxis into 20+ new cities. Next stop? Congress, asking senators to simplify messy laws slowing down self-driving cars before China wins. 

🚧 4 in 5. Americans are now choosing trade skills training over a 4-year degree, with 76% convinced hands-on jobs are AI proof.

🛒 $1 trillion. Walmart becomes the first retailer to join Meta and Amazon in the trillion-dollar club, thanks to big bets on AI and robots.

👽 $5 trillion. Cost per year analysts put on Musk’s orbital data center dream. That’s roughly 20% of the entire US GDP. SpaceX will need to find some deep pockets.
