In less than 5 minutes, philosopher Pia Lauritzen shares lessons from analyzing 30,000 questions and explains why adults gradually stop asking them. The conversation leans toward curiosity, the cost of admitting what we don't know, and what AI might mean for how we think and question.

Nvidia is investing $1.5 billion in SoftBank-backed SB Energy, and locking in up to 8 gigawatts of AI computing capacity at the Ohio campus SB Energy is building for OpenAI. The site, called PORTS-Pike Technology Campus, starts with 4.25 GW, and SB Energy. SoftBank plans to add at least 10 GW of new power generation and put $4.2 billion into Ohio's grid.
It's part of the same Ohio deal where Nvidia is guaranteeing up to $105 billion in lease and power payments. Jensen Huang pushed back on X against calling this circular financing. He said OpenAI is the one paying the lease and Nvidia is just using its scale to get the site built. OpenAI says the project brings 35,000 construction jobs through 2032 and 2,500 permanent ones, with initial capacity online in 2028.
Mozilla keeps adding AI features to Firefox, translation, tab grouping, an AI sidebar with chatbots like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini, while building in a way to turn all of it off. Since Firefox 148 launched in February, there's a single "Block AI enhancements" toggle in settings that kills every generative AI feature, current and future, in one move.
It's a different bet than what OpenAI, Perplexity, and other AI-native browsers are making. Mozilla's line, repeated by execs from CEO Anthony Enzor-DeMeo on down, is that AI should be optional, and Firefox users who've stuck around specifically because the browser doesn't force things on them get to keep it that way.
A new Lloyds Business Barometer survey finds 54% of UK employers say AI has led to job creation at their company. A quarter are now hiring specifically for AI skills, including Lloyds, and a fifth have created entirely new AI-related roles.
The catch shows up in the details, though. Two-thirds of firms with turnover above £10 million say their current staff already have the AI skills the business needs, versus just over half of firms overall, so the biggest companies are better positioned to benefit. Over 70% of large businesses plan to invest more in AI going forward, and many are expanding training for existing employees rather than only hiring externally.
The numbers arrive just as new PM Andy Burnham takes a more cautious line on AI and jobs, especially for young workers. Bank of England’s Governor Andrew Bailey also flagged the gap between companies adopting AI and turning it into productivity gains. The Lloyds numbers suggest the job-creation side of that story is real but uneven across company size.

AI Strategic Initiative Prioritizer
When to use this?
When you have multiple AI projects competing for budget, people, or leadership attention and need to decide which one should you opt for first.
You are an AI strategy advisor helping me prioritize AI initiatives across my organization.
I will give you a list of proposed AI initiatives. Evaluate each one using these criteria:
Business impact: Potential effect on revenue, cost, productivity, customer experience, or strategic advantage.
Time to value: How quickly we could expect meaningful results.
Feasibility: Availability of the required data, technology, talent, and integrations.
Adoption difficulty: How much behavior or workflow change is required from employees or customers.
Risk: Security, privacy, regulatory, reputational, and operational risks.
Scalability: Whether the initiative can expand across teams, functions, or regions.
Strategic fit: How directly it supports our current business priorities.
For each initiative:
Score each criterion from 1–5.
Briefly explain the reasoning behind each score.
Flag any assumptions or missing information that could materially change the ranking.
Identify dependencies that could delay or block the initiative.
Estimate whether it is a quick win, strategic bet, foundational investment, or low-priority initiative.
Then rank all initiatives from highest to lowest priority.
Finish with:
Start now: The 1–3 initiatives we should prioritize immediately and why.
Build toward: High-value initiatives that require groundwork first.
Deprioritize: Initiatives where the expected value currently doesn't justify the effort or risk.
Leadership questions: 3–5 questions executives should resolve before committing resources.
Do not automatically favor ambitious AI projects. Weight achievable business value, organizational readiness, and measurable outcomes heavily.
