Today so far 2026-09-18 · 06:01 UTC

The AI safety and infrastructure landscape is shifting rapidly, with major funding flowing into both compute capacity and safety considerations: Crusoe is raising $3.9B for AI data centers while Google DeepMind launches an institute to broaden AGI debate, and there's growing discussion around whether centralized control poses the real AI safety threat.
