Sacks Lands AI/Crypto Czar, AI Game Studios & Lawfare

1/ David Sacks: The New AI & Crypto Czar

Big news! President Trump has appointed David Sacks as the nation's AI and Crypto Czar. For those who don’t know, Sacks was a founding member of PayPal, sold Yammer for over $1 billion, has an impressive track record as a venture capitalist, and co-hosts the All-In Podcast.

Known for his strong libertarian stance on tech issues like crypto, AI, and free speech, Sacks is a bold pick. This signals a strong push for innovation with minimal regulation—a win for America's role as a leader in emerging technologies. If managed right, this could be a golden era for AI and crypto in the U.S. 🚀

2/ Grok’s Big Thanksgiving Updates

Over Thanksgiving week, Grok—Elon’s AI from xAI—has been rolling out major updates, and they’re worth noticing:

• Expanded long-context capabilities

• Improved image understanding

• Web search integration

• Grok-powered analysis for X posts

xAI is staking its claim as one of the most impactful AI companies to watch. With its focus on cutting-edge innovation—and aiming to be "the least woke" AI company—it’s clear that Elon has his sights set on shaking up the industry.

3/ AI-Enabled Game Studios Are Leveling Up

NVIDIA is making waves with its latest innovation: Edify 3D. This groundbreaking tool lets developers generate fully immersive 3D scenes from simple prompts.

It’s an exciting leap forward, especially for game developers looking to cut down production time and unlock creative potential. AI isn’t just transforming games—it’s transforming how they’re made. 🎮✨

4/ Delaware’s Lawfare vs. Elon

In a targeted move, a Delaware judge has blocked Elon Musk’s performance-based compensation plan, which ties rewards to Tesla’s share price hitting specific milestones.

Such actions not only are un-American but also discourage innovation and entrepreneurial spirit. More than ever, it’s clear that this kind of regulatory overreach needs serious scrutiny. The courts and agencies in the United States have been weaponized.
