🤖💰 Wild AI news this week!

Two of the biggest AI rivals just became business partners.

Anthropic (the company behind Claude) could pay SpaceX up to $120 BILLION over the next few years to rent its supercomputers. 🖥️⚡

The twist? SpaceX also owns Grok, one of Claude's biggest competitors.

Why should a Lake business owner care? 🤔
