Weekly NishIsHere! – Issue #102
♣ Thought of the Week
◘ “everything is a win when the goal is experience”.
When you change your perspective, everything changes.
♣ Tech
◘ Why Building AI Data Centres Isn’t Working Anymore
Ever wonder if the AI hype train is actually running off the rails? It turns out that the massive data center boom is hitting some major roadblocks. In this episode, ColdFusion explores.
Between skyrocketing energy demands, water shortages, and serious community backlash, nearly half of those planned projects are being delayed or scrapped. We’re pouring hundreds of billions into infrastructure without clear profits, leaving us to wonder: is this actually a bubble about to burst? It’s definitely time for a reality check!
♣ Creator Economy
◘ 50 YouTube Legends Fight For $1,000,000
“Seeing all these OG creators together feels like a massive high school reunion for the internet. These are the legends that literally built YouTube and shaped so many of our childhoods. Thank you MrBeast for bringing them all back for such an epic milestone video!”
He also brought back the OG outro!
♣ Pop Culture
◘ Ludovico Einaudi – Experience (Live from Teatro dal Verme, Milano)
In December 2023, to mark the 10th anniversary of “In A Time Lapse”, Ludovico Einaudi performed
“In A Time Lapse Reimagined” sold out audiences in Milan.
Everybody speaks a different language, but music connects everyone!
♣ Business
◘ This guy owned MTV & Comedy Central (but fumbled Facebook)
Ever wonder how MTV became a cultural powerhouse? In this MyFirstMillion episode, Sam Parr had an incredible chat with co-founder Tom Freston, and it’s a goldmine. He breaks down how they used ‘narrowcasting’ to dominate, how he scouted icons like the South Park creators, and even shares the wild story of nearly buying Facebook for under a billion. It’s a masterclass on creativity, taking massive risks, and navigating the shifting media landscape; definitely a must-watch for any founder!
