Hello, Human Guide
Today, we will talk about these THREE stories:
AI’s explosive memory demand is squeezing the global chip supply.
86 nations just signed a global AI declaration in New Delhi.
A viral AI-generated Hollywood fight video triggered legal chaos.
What investment is rudimentary for billionaires but ‘revolutionary’ for 70,571+ investors entering 2026?
Imagine this. You open your phone to an alert. It says, “you spent $236,000,000 more this month than you did last month.”
If you were the top bidder at Sotheby’s fall auctions, it could be reality.
Sounds crazy, right? But when the ultra-wealthy spend staggering amounts on blue-chip art, it’s not just for decoration.
The scarcity of these treasured artworks has helped drive their prices, in exceptional cases, to thin-air heights, without moving in lockstep with other asset classes.
The contemporary and post war segments have even outpaced the S&P 500 overall since 1995.*
Now, over 70,000 people have invested $1.2 billion+ across 500 iconic artworks featuring Banksy, Basquiat, Picasso, and more.
How? You don’t need Medici money to invest in multimillion dollar artworks with Masterworks.
Thousands of members have gotten annualized net returns like 14.6%, 17.6%, and 17.8% from 26 sales to date.

AI Is Eating the World’s Memory Chips
The bottleneck isn’t GPUs anymore, it’s memory.
According to industry analysts cited by Moneyweb, high-bandwidth memory (HBM) used in AI servers is sold out through 2025, with suppliers like SK Hynix and Samsung reallocating capacity away from consumer electronics. DRAM prices have already risen more than 20% in recent quarters as hyperscalers pour billions into AI infrastructure. Micron has told investors that AI-related memory demand is outpacing supply visibility by multiple quarters.
What stands out is how invisible this constraint feels. We obsess over model releases and billion-dollar funding rounds, but not the quiet warehouses full of silicon wafers running at capacity 24/7, fluorescent lights buzzing at 3 a.m. This is less about smarter chatbots and more about physical limits metal, chemicals, fabs, and geopolitical risk.
If memory stays scarce, smaller AI startups get squeezed first. Everything else gets repriced.
If AI runs on memory and memory runs out, the real question is who gets to build and who gets locked out?
86 Nations Just Backed an “AI for All” Pact
Eighty-six countries just signed an AI declaration in New Delhi.
The “Delhi Declaration,” reported by The Times of India, promotes inclusive and responsible AI development under India’s “AI for All” framework. Notably, Pakistan and Taiwan were absent from the list of signatories, while major emerging economies across Africa, Asia, and Latin America signed on. The agreement focuses on accessibility, shared governance principles, and narrowing digital divides rather than strict enforcement mechanisms.
What struck me is how much this feels like geopolitics wrapped in optimism. When 86 nations gather under soft lighting and polished podiums to talk about inclusion, you can almost hear the quiet calculation underneath: who controls the models, the chips, the data centers? This is less about ethics and more about positioning before rules harden.
Global AI governance is fragmenting into blocs, not converging into one rulebook.
If dozens of countries agree on principles but not power, the real question is who actually enforces the future of AI?
A Fake Hollywood Fight Just Triggered Real Lawsuits
A viral AI video may have crossed a line.
Gulf News reports that ByteDance’s AI video system generated a hyper-realistic clip of two major Hollywood actors appearing to fight a scene that never happened. The video spread rapidly across social platforms, reigniting debates about likeness rights, consent, and copyright enforcement. Studios are reportedly exploring legal action as generative video tools approach cinematic realism.
What bothers me is how fast this escalated. One convincing clip, shared late at night while phones glow in the dark, and suddenly the line between parody and impersonation blurs beyond recognition. This isn’t just about fake fights it’s about whether identity becomes another editable layer in the content stack.
Studios are realizing that model capability moves faster than contract law.
If AI can convincingly stage moments that never happened, the real question is who owns your face when the cameras aren’t even rolling?
