Hey hustlers,

Three stories this week that all share one theme:
AI is no longer just a product. It's infrastructure.

OpenAI just recognised the first generation to grow up with ChatGPT. Microsoft quietly confirmed that most of the world hasn't even started yet. And Anthropic made a deal with Elon Musk, of all people, because it literally ran out of computing power to meet demand.

Let's take a look.

OpenAI introduced the inaugural ChatGPT Futures Class of 2026, recognizing 26 students and young builders using AI in thoughtful, ambitious, and deeply human ways. These are the first students to start and finish college with ChatGPT on hand for their entire university experience. Each selected student receives a $10,000 grant and access to advanced AI tools and mentorship from OpenAI to further their projects.

Their work spans space object mapping, disaster survivor detection, endangered language preservation, mental health resources for underserved communities, and accessibility tools for people with disabilities.

Microsoft's Global AI Diffusion Report, shows AI usage increased 1.5 percentage points from 16.3% to 17.8% of the world's working-age population in Q1 2026.

The UAE maintained its position at the top with a 70.1% adoption rate, while the United States moved from 24th to 21st place with 31.3% of its working-age population using AI tools. The gap between wealthy and developing nations continues to widen: 27.5% of people in developed countries used a generative AI tool versus 15.4% in the developing world, a gap that widened by 1.5 percentage points from the second half of 2025.

Anthropic announced a deal with Elon Musk's SpaceX to use all of the compute capacity at the Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee. The deal gives Anthropic access to more than 300 megawatts of new capacity, over 220,000 Nvidia GPUs, within the month.
Anthropic has also expressed interest in working with SpaceX to develop multiple gigawatts of space-based data centers, one of Musk's key goals and a major driver behind SpaceX's planned IPO. As a direct result of the deal, Anthropic is doubling Claude Code rate limits and removing peak-hour usage caps for Pro and Max subscribers.

Speak to your computer and it types for you, in any app,
in your own writing style. Not just basic dictation.
It understands context, cleans up filler words, and formats what you say
into polished text. Works inside Gmail, Notion, Slack, anywhere you type.
Creators who've switched say it's 2-3x faster than typing.
Free trial available.

A curated collection of production-grade skills for AI coding agents,
built by Google engineer Addy Osmani.
Think of it as a skills library you can plug directly into Claude Code, Cursor,
or any agent. If you're building with AI agents or want to understand
what "production-grade" agent behavior actually looks like,
this is the repo to clone right now.

Anthropic announced a new "dreaming" feature at their developer day this week.
AI that reviews its own work between sessions, spots patterns, and updates memory automatically. Multiple creators covered it in the last 24 hours.

Researchers asked a question most AI companies don't want you thinking about: what happens when you give an AI agent full access to your computer, your Gmail, your files, and your payments, and then someone tries to hijack it?

What they found: Across 12 real attack scenarios, poisoning just one part of the agent's memory or identity jumped the attack success rate from 24.6% to between 64% and 74%. Even the most secure model tested showed a threefold increase in vulnerability. The attacks didn't require hacking the AI itself. They worked by quietly corrupting what the agent knew, who it thought it was serving, and what tools it had access to.
