🚀 AI’s Real Bottleneck Isn’t Chips — It’s Energy

So Google wants to launch data centers into space.

Sundar Pichai isn’t thinking small anymore — he’s literally thinking orbital.
While Big Tech fights GPU shortages, Google believes the real chokepoint is energy, not chips. So the company is exploring something straight out of a sci-fi pitch deck:

☀️ Project Suncatcher: Data Centers… in Space

Google is partnering with Planet Labs to prototype solar-powered orbital data centers, beaming compute power back down to Earth like a cosmic AWS region.

Why?
Because AI models like Gemini demand absurd amounts of electricity — and Google wants clean, unlimited solar power without Earth’s pesky “nighttime.”

The timing is perfect:

• Gemini 3 Pro just dropped

• OpenAI reportedly entered “code red” mode

• Meta may rent Google’s TPUs

• Alphabet’s market cap is pushing $4 trillion

Space might be the next competitive frontier — quite literally.

👓 Google Takes Another Shot at Smart Glasses

Round 2: This time, Google isn’t fighting the future — it’s joining the market.

Remember Google Glass?
Yeah… Google does too. And after a decade of memes, awkward stares, and PR nightmares, the company is trying again.

🎯 What’s new this time?

Google announced two versions of AI-powered eyewear launching in 2026:

• Audio-only frames (think AirPods… but on your face)

• Full-display AR glasses with navigation + translation

The lineup is built with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker ($WRBY) — a huge shift from Google’s earlier solo attempt.

And Meta is officially on notice:
The news sent EssilorLuxottica ($ESLOY), Meta’s Ray-Ban partner, down 5.8%.

🇨🇳 But here’s the plot twist

The West might be hyping AI glasses now, but China already has 70+ competing brands, including:

• Inmo

• Rokid

• Alibaba ($BABA)

China’s manufacturing speed + pricing undercut might make Google the one playing catch-up.

🟠 Will Google finally get it right?

Maybe. Maybe not.
But at least this version won’t turn you into a walking surveillance hazard… probably.
