    It’s a packed news cycle. Trump and Xi met in Beijing with AI chips on the table and walked away empty-handed. Anthropic is closing in on a $30 billion raise at a near-trillion-dollar valuation, just days after announcing a $200 million deal with the Gates Foundation to bring AI to global health, farming, and education. OpenAI launched a whole new deployment company. Google I/O opens tomorrow with Gemini under pressure. The entire founding team at SpaceXAI has walked out the door. Bitcoin is taking a macro beating. And AI-powered hackers are coming for the crypto sector. Pour something good — there’s a lot to get into.

    Orbiting Data Centers, Penelope Pours, and the 5th Segment Chaos

    Tonight’s pour is the classic Penelope Bourbon, and it sets the tone for an episode that swings from the stratosphere to the seafloor. Brad kicks things off by asking the week’s most unhinged infrastructure question: If we’re putting data centers in orbit and in the ocean… why not slap them on the poles too? The logic is questionable. The bourbon is not. From there, the conversation shifts as we wrap up our thoughts on Claude and dive headfirst into Microsoft Copilot—what it is, what it isn’t, and why it’s about to reshape how people work. And of course… it wouldn’t be Bourbon with Brad without The 5th Segment—the part of the show where structure goes to die and the best ideas somehow show up anyway.
