Big Cloud Energy: Amazon Drops $10 Billion in NC for AI

Amazon is going all-in on AI infrastructure with a $10 billion investment in North Carolina bringing with it 500 high-skilled jobs, an army of indirect opportunities, and enough data center power to make the cloud rain money. But this isn't just about servers and fiber cables Amazon’s rolling out training programs, STEM education, and even $10K community grants to make sure everyone, from students to future data techs, gets a piece of the AI-powered pie.

TL;DR? This move cements North Carolina as a rising AI hub... and proves Amazon’s not just thinking big it’s thinking scalable, local, and long-term.

💡 Did You Know?

AI helped decode ancient, burned scrolls: Using a combination of 3D scans and machine learning, researchers trained AI to read fragile, carbonized scrolls from Herculaneum, texts that were previously thought unreadable due to their condition.

Reddit vs. Anthropic: The AI Data Fight Gets Personal

Reddit just lawyered up and filed a lawsuit against Anthropic, claiming the AI startup trained its models on Reddit’s data without a license or, frankly, any manners. The platform alleges Anthropic ignored its user agreement and its robots.txt file (aka the digital “Do Not Disturb” sign), scraping over 100,000 times even after being told to stop. While Reddit has cozy deals in place with OpenAI and Google, it says Anthropic “refused to engage,” opting to go rogue. Now, Reddit’s asking for damages, restitution, and an injunction making it the first Big Tech player to say, “Not with my data, you don’t.”

ChatGPT Gets a Promotion in the Office

OpenAI just supercharged ChatGPT for business users, adding integrations with tools like Google Drive, Dropbox, and SharePoint, plus the ability to record and summarize meetings with time-stamped notes and action items. It can now pull from your company’s own files, connect to platforms like HubSpot and Linear, and even generate full research reports all while respecting your org’s access controls. In short: ChatGPT just went from helpful assistant to all-in-one research analyst, meeting scribe, and productivity powerhouse.
