Bezos just dropped $6.2B on AI manufacturing
Bezos is making a $6.2B power move with Project Prometheus acquiring General Agents (yikes, that's serious capital for AI infrastructure), while Suno just got the record label stamp of approval with a major settlement that legitimizes AI music creation. We're also diving into how continuous batching lets LLM services juggle thousands of users simultaneously, Claude's wild analysis suggesting AI could nearly double US productivity growth to 1.8%, and a Mixpanel breach that exposed OpenAI user data (though thankfully no credentials or chat content got compromised). The infrastructure, the music, the efficiency gains... are we watching the AI industry finally grow up?
