Executive Summary

AI companies are reversing their stance on monetization, with OpenAI introducing ads to free tiers and scaling compute capacity by 9.5x since 2023. Meanwhile, data center expansion faces a local backlash with at least 25 projects canceled last year, forcing tech giants to pursue direct nuclear power deals and "bring your own energy" models. Notable Insights: • Local opposition is stalling AI growth: 25 projects were canceled last year and over 60 local governments enacted moratoriums due to water and energy consumption concerns. • AI coding agents improved results through cross-agent memory: GitHub's new agentic memory system increased pull request merge rates from 83% to 90% by allowing agents to learn from historical conventions. • Brain-machine interfaces reached vehicle-scale operation: Neural prosthetics implanted in the posterior parietal cortex allowed paralyzed patients to operate commercial vehicles through bimanual brain control.
