AI companies are spending billions on deals with each other, which boost their value.

This has helped twenty billionaires tied to AI add $450B to their fortunes in 2025.

Meanwhile, an MIT study found that 95% of companies using AI haven't seen returns on investment.

Be warned.

Some lines also connect north to Vancouver or the Quebec City–Windsor Corridor, or south to Tijuana or Monterrey.

Lots of transit news from BART director Victor Flores - including that the BART board has voted to use standard gauge for the 2nd set of transbay tubes.

This will open up the option for Caltrain, High Speed Rail, and Amtrak to cross between downtown San Francisco and the East Bay in the future.

It's been a while since my last BART newsletter. Between my last job, BART, and studying for the LSAT, time has been limited, but that's no excuse!

Grab your cup of coffee or tea and catch up with me!

A judge orders Mahmoud Khalil’s deportation to Syria or Algeria, @premthakker.bsky.social reports. For now, the activist is protected by an earlier order preventing his deportation while his case proceeds, lawyers say.

I find it fascinating that even hardcore ChatGPT fans seem to be turning on it in recent weeks

WHY is ChatGPT so absolutely BAD right now?

I agree. It's so bad right now. For me, it's a wake up call to be more cautious about how I incorporate Al into my professional and personal life. A company can change something at any time and disrupt your workflows. I got pretty excited about it initially and trialed it in many areas of my life and work. The last 2 weeks have been a headache. But I think it's healthy to take a step back and understand what we're dealing with.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It's for sure a wake up call, because I feel like I was just getting too addicted to it, and it's not good to just depend on it for so much.
