When investors think about the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure build-out, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is usually the first name that comes to mind. The tech company's graphics processing units (GPUs) have powered the initial wave of the generative AI boom, rewarding shareholders handsomely along the way. But as the market matures, a new dynamic is taking shape. Hyperscalers and tech giants are scrutinizing the massive costs of building data centers and actively seeking ways to reduce their reliance on pricey, power-hungry GPUs. Continue reading

Watch: Rogan Encapsulates Why Missing Scientists Are No Conspiracy Theory... Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news, In his latest episode, podcaster Joe Rogan lays out the massive financial motive behind the silencing of experts on zero-point energy and plasma tech, while his guest declares an apocalyptic convergence of UFO secrets, AI, and global chaos. Rogan encourages listeners to confront a pattern the establishment would rather bury: scientists with access to game-changing space, nuclear, and advanced energy secrets are dying or vanishing at an alarming rate. “People have to understand this missing scientist thing. It sounds a little conspiratorial. It sounds a little silly, a little tinfoil hatty,” Rogan explained, clarifying “Until you start thinking about the amount of money that would be lost if a breakthrough tech came around that revolutionized the way they distribute energy.” 🚨 Joe Rogan speaks on the missing scientists related to advanced technology “People have to understand this missing scientist thing. It sounds a little conspiratorial. It sounds a little silly, a little tinfoil hatty. Until you start thinking about the amount of money that… pic.twitter.com/oG1LDnfRmK — Red Panda Koala (@RedPandaKoala) April 9, 2026 He continues, “Breakthrough zero point energy breakthrough whatever that is that these people are working on. Plasma technology, whatever the fuck that is. You would lose if you’re in whatever business that would be competing with them. You’re going to lose so much fucking money. You’re probably going to go under. If you’re in the energy business, you’re going to… or he goes away, right?” Rogan paints a vivid picture of the human cost: “Mystery around dead or missing scientists privy to space and nuclear secrets grows. Imagine being a scientist, you work so hard to figure out some amazing stuff that’s going to transform the human experience and then people kill you. Literally kill you like in a parking lot, one of those silenced gun...

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) Yuri Gripas | Reuters California Rep. Eric Swalwell, a Democrat running for governor, has denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman twice, including when she worked for him. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that a woman said Swalwell sexually assaulted her in 2019 and 2024. The newspaper reviewed text messages about the alleged 2024 assault and spoke to people whom she had told about it. She told the newspaper she did not go to police because she was afraid she would not be believed. The paper didn't name the woman, and The Associated Press has not been able to independently verify her account and identity. Her lawyer declined to comment. The woman worked for Swalwell in 2019 when the first alleged assault occurred, and the 2024 assault allegedly occurred after a charity gala, the newspaper reported. She said in both cases she was too intoxicated to consent to sex. Swalwell denied the woman's account and suggested they were part of an attack due to his campaign's momentum . "These allegations are false and come on the eve of an election against the front-runner for governor," Swalwell said in a statement. "For nearly 20 years, I have served the public — as a prosecutor and a congressman and have always protected women. I will defend myself with the facts and where necessary bring legal action. My focus in the coming days is to be with my wife and children and defend our decades of service against these lies." The woman received a cease-and-desist letter from Swalwell's attorney, the Chronicle reported. The attorney, Elias Debaie, confirmed he sent out at least one letter and called the allegations "baseless." The allegations surfaced at a critical stage of the wide-open campaign to lead the nation's most populous state. Mail ballots go out to voters in less than a month in advance of a June 2 primary election. On Friday afternoon, the California Teachers Association said it's suspending its support.

Japan’s energy security has long hinged on Middle Eastern oil. The Iran war simply exposed how breakable that lifeline had become. While a two-week ceasefire agreed on Tuesday promises some relief by reopening the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic, analysts say the shock has laid bare vulnerabilities Tokyo cannot easily paper over.

Japan’s energy security has long hinged on Middle Eastern oil. The Iran war simply exposed how breakable that lifeline had become. While a two-week ceasefire agreed on Tuesday promises some relief by reopening the Strait of Hormuz to tanker traffic, analysts say the shock has laid bare vulnerabilities Tokyo cannot easily paper over. As an archipelago nation with no cross-border pipelines, Japan draws more than 95 per cent of its crude from the Middle East and routes the bulk of it through the...

bluebay2014/iStock via Getty Images For generations of market watchers, the Dow Jones Transportation Index was considered the ultimate leading indicator for the broader market. The idea was that if goods were moving, the economy was humming. For today's digital economy, the "leading" torch has been handed to the semis group, which we labeled "the Transports of the 21st century" years ago. The logic is the same: semiconductors are the essential inputs that power modern economic activity, from smartphones to data centers to automobiles. When both of these bellwether indices are breaking out to new all-time highs simultaneously, as they are right now, it's a signal worth paying attention to. What makes the current setup particularly compelling is that the S&P 500 has not yet confirmed the move, still sitting roughly 2.5% below its own all-time high. Historically, when leading indicators like the transports and semis are making new highs while the broader market lags, it has been viewed as a sign that the index is being pulled higher, not pushed. The charts for transports and semis above show clean breakouts, with the 50-day moving average trending solidly higher beneath price. That is the kind of technical foundation that tends to give bulls confidence. If the S&P 500 closes the gap as well and confirms with its own breakout, the weight of the evidence will be difficult to argue with.

Apple Inc. has hired Uber Technologies Inc. ’s head of public policy and government relations for Asia-Pacific as it looks to revamp its supply chains in the region. Mike Orgill took up his new role with the iPhone maker this week, according to people familiar with the matter. Neither Orgill, Apple nor Uber immediately responded to requests for comment. Asia is a key region for the Cupertino, California-based company, which has been diversifying supply chains away from China and has been increasingly making devices in India . Vietnam and Indonesia are also important markets due to their large populations and potential as manufacturing bases. Last year, Apple reorganized its global affairs division to adjust the management of the government teams for Europe, India, China and other parts of Asia. Before joining Uber in Singapore in 2021, Orgill spent seven years at Airbnb Inc. , his LinkedIn profile showed. Before that he worked at Alphabet Inc. ’s Google .
