The central tension this article unpacks is whether the next wave of institutional capital flows into Bitcoin as a sovereign-debt hedge or into AI equities as the defining growth trade of the decade.

At one time or anoth­er, we all feel twinges of anx­i­ety about what will con­sti­tute the lega­cy we leave behind. Jer­ry Gret­zinger may well be sub­ject to just the same dis­com­fort, but at least he can point to the Map: an enor­mous rep­re­sen­ta­tion, made of thou­sands and thou­sands of indi­vid­u­al­ly cre­at­ed and con­tin­u­al­ly mod­i­fied pan­els, of an entire­ly fic­tion­al land called Ukra­nia. You can see Jer­ry’s Map painstak­ing­ly laid out in its most up-to-date state in the new Peo­ple Make Games video above.

Anker kidnaps Manfred from a psychiatric hospital along…

One of my earliest memories growing up in Kalamazoo, Michigan, was a visit to the bakery at the A&P grocery store at 5800 Gull Road. It was one of a handful of places my parents could afford to shop at in the midst of the great stagflation of the 1970s. My mother made amazing birthday cakes for us as kids, and I presume she was there for some ideas. I had other things in mind. They gave away free “donut holes” to kids who were presumably well-behaved, leading to my temporarily angelic behavior whenever we went there.  Little did I…
