Despite the challenges, Elon Musk’s Twitter model might succeed in the long run, according to Dan Newman, Principal Analyst & Founding Partner, of Futurum Research.

Dan’s Thoughts:

Elon Musk faces a number of tough decisions over the coming weeks and months, but as one of the most prolific entrepreneurs of all time, it’s hard to really bet against him. And the long term of Twitter, I’m hearing more and more from the industry, from tech, from different technology clients of mine, whether or not they should continue to use Twitter, is this gonna change in the long run?

I think he’s gonna get it right. We have to understand we’re in a very difficult moment right now. With the elections, we get a lot of very heated feelings, but the idea of an open town square that’s properly moderated gets rid of hate speech and deals with the actual need for us to have open discourse about what we disagree with.

Much like Tesla’s polarizing views in the long term will not stop the company from being a. He’s proven that time and time again, hard to bet against Elon Musk, but right now it’s just a difficult moment.

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google Just Put AI Chips in Orbit. The Real Story Is the Power Bill on the Ground.

Google launched a prototype satellite carrying four Trillium TPUs to test whether the chips can survive launch and operate under orbital radiation and heat constraints, driven by power limits on the ground. It is not a data center but a survival test for durability, radiation resistance, and heat dissipation, signaling that energy availability—not chips or models—is becoming the limiting factor for AI infrastructure growth.

  • 01Project Suncatcher's first satellite is a survival test for hardware durability, not operational compute capacity for actual workloads
  • 02Orbital solar can deliver up to 8x more power, and Google research suggests launch costs could drop below $200/kg by the mid-2030s, bringing space build costs closer to some Earth equivalents.

Microsoft frames its Ignite security week around AI agents with real access

Microsoft frames its Ignite security week around AI agents with real access

Microsoft's Ignite security program centers on AI agents with real access to identities, data and cloud resources.

  • 01Deciding what each agent is allowed to see is where the work sits when governance is missing; CDW research cited by BizTech found 51% of respondents have an established data governance framework.
  • 02The Nov. 17 keynote is the signal to watch: data-level Agent 365 controls would suggest Microsoft is tackling the governance gap; mostly new SOC agents would leave it with customers.

Google's Most Powerful AI Model Went to Cyber Defenders First. That's the New B2B Playbook.

Google's Most Powerful AI Model Went to Cyber Defenders First. That's the New B2B Playbook.

Google launched Gemini 4 Argon, its most capable AI model, with gated access rolling out first through the Fairwind Program to “trusted cyber defenders,” with paid API customers and Google AI Ultra subscribers next—signaling a shift from open consumer launches to trust-based, tiered enterprise distribution. Argon supports up to 1 million output tokens and posts knowledge-work and engineering benchmarks like 51.3% on AutomationBench and 77.9% on DeepSWE v1.1.

  • 011 million output tokens enable end-to-end deliverables: complete codebases, financial analyses, or legal drafts in a single pass, changing the unit of work for knowledge professionals.
  • 02Fairwind Program already includes 650+ organizations across government, critical infrastructure, and security partners; Wiz used Argon to find a critical healthcare vulnerability previous frontier models missed.
  • 03AI governance programs are now procurement requirements; enterprises should audit security and data controls, map high-cost knowledge workflows (contract review, financial modeling, codebase modernization), and evaluate models by task rather than by vendor.
