Most founders I know are drowning in the work of running their company instead of building it. Inbox management. Contract reviews. Content scheduling. Follow-up sequences. Proposal status checks. Intelligence briefs. All of it important. None of it the reason you started the company. About six months ago I stopped trying to manage all of it myself and started building a system that could manage it for me. What we ended up with is ARIA — the AI CEO of Data Power Supply. She ru

On February 3, 2026, a product manager at Anthropic published a 200-line plug-in for Claude. By the end of that trading session, $285 billion in market capitalization had evaporated from the legal tech sector alone. Thomson Reuters. LexisNexis. Every company charging businesses thousands of dollars per seat per month for software that reviews contracts, marks up NDAs, and references case law. Gone. Not because their products stopped working. Because a 200-line text file prove

This Memorial Day weekend I keep thinking about a different kind of battlefield. The World Economic Forum just published what anyone in infrastructure already knows. Connecting a data center to the grid takes 4 to 10 years. Building the data center takes 2 to 3. That gap is not a planning problem. It is a national security problem. AI dominance is not decided by who writes the best algorithm. It is decided by who can power it. The country that controls compute infrastructure

Last night I did something most founders have not done yet. I handed operational control of Data Power Supply to an AI named ARIA and made her my CEO. Not as a gimmick. Not as a headline. As a real operating decision. The Decision I am a builder. A creator. A deal-maker. What I am not — and never wanted to be — is a manager of inboxes, a monitor of news feeds, and a chaser of leads. Every founder knows the feeling. You built the company to do the work that matters. But somewh

Your data center team is working harder than ever. Your power situation hasn't moved. More RFPs. More site tours. More utility meetings. Same interconnection queue. Same 3-year timeline. Same "we'll get back to you." The problem isn't effort. The problem is that you're still trying to solve a 2026 problem with a 1990s infrastructure model. The Grid Cannot Move Fast Enough The PJM interconnection queue holds 31GW of data center demand — just sitting there, waiting for grid app

By Rich Washburn, CIO — Data Power Supply Somewhere around 84% of the world's population has never used an AI tool. Not once. I want you to sit with that for a second. We have access to something that can think alongside us. Something that helps us navigate the most complicated moments of our lives — smarter, faster, more capable than we've ever been on our own. And most people have just... not tried it. I don't say that to judge anyone. I say it because I find it fascinating

Gartner just said 40% of AI data centers will face operational constraints by 2027. Not from hardware failure — from not having enough power. That's not a future problem. That's a right-now problem. The Scale of the Crisis The interconnection queue in PJM alone holds 31GW of data center demand waiting for grid approval. Goldman Sachs projects data centers will consume 8% of all US electricity by 2030, growing at a 15% CAGR. Google has committed $20 billion to build captive po

I'll be honest — I thought Elon had this one. This is exactly why I don't bet. 😂 A federal jury in Oakland deliberated for 2 hours. Two hours. Then came back unanimous — every single one of Musk's claims against Sam Altman and OpenAI: dismissed. What Just Happened in Court This was a $150 billion lawsuit — three weeks of testimony, Elon Musk on the stand, Sam Altman on the stand, the entire tech world watching. Musk claimed he was misled into donating millions to OpenAI when

The grid can't keep up. Smart operators stopped waiting for it. While everyone else is 5 years deep in a utility interconnection queue, the operators who are actually winning are doing something different. They're bringing their own power. Why the Grid Isn't the Answer for AI Infrastructure in 2026 Grid interconnection queues in the United States now stretch 5 to 7 years in the most critical data center markets — Northern Virginia, Phoenix, Dallas, and Silicon Valley. Utiliti

$700,000,000,000. That's what Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Meta are spending on AI infrastructure in 2026. In a single quarter this spring, those four companies reported over $130 billion in capital expenditures — and every one of them said the same thing: we're not slowing down. Every server. Every GPU cluster. Every AI model running inference around the clock. Needs one thing before any of it works. Power. The $700B Number Nobody Talks About When the headlines report $700

A Nevada utility just told 49,000 people their power is gone. Not because of a storm. Not because of a failure. Because a data center needs it more. NV Energy — the utility that has supplied Lake Tahoe electricity for decades — informed Liberty Utilities that it will stop providing power to the region by May 2027. The reason: data centers being built in the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center. Google, Apple, and Microsoft have all built or are actively planning facilities there. Nor

The grid wasn't built for this. NERC — the North American Electric Reliability Corporation — has formally confirmed that 68% of North America is now at elevated risk of energy shortfalls in the summer of 2026. This is not a forecast. It is an official reliability warning from the organization responsible for keeping lights on across the continent. What Is Driving the 2026 Power Grid Crisis? Four simultaneous demand forces are overwhelming aging transmission and generation inf

Your MHD fusion simulation runs 10 hours overnight. With energy drift correction, it reaches the same accuracy in 5 minutes and 16 seconds. That is not a marketing claim. That is a validated median result across 7,500 experiments with a 76.4% win rate on magnetohydrodynamics alone. We just published the EK-TORUS Fluid Simulation Catalogue: 52 real-world scenarios, 86,000+ validated experiments across 6 physics categories. Every number is a measured outcome from double-GPU cro

GE and Siemens are 5 to 7 years out. Caterpillar is 16 to 18 months. Data Power Supply delivers 1.6MW natural gas recip packs -- stackable to 3.2MW -- starting at 36 to 40 weeks ARO. 50MW/month available. $1M/MW with full warranty. Don't miss your window.

By Jimmy Hayes, Founder & CEO, Data Power Supply · May 1, 2026 My grandfather passed away on Wednesday. I keep coming back to what he taught me about the Gold Buffalo. Not just as a coin. As a philosophy. "Jimmy, that coin is 24 karat. Pure. No alloy. No compromise." "And the buffalo — the buffalo is the only animal that runs through the storm." The Gold Buffalo The American Gold Buffalo is the purest gold coin ever minted by the US government. 24 karat. .9999 fine. No diluti

Every hyperscale player on the Global Insight Services list — AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Meta, Equinix — shares one thing in common right now: they cannot build fast enough. The bottleneck isn't money. It isn't demand. Both of those exist in abundance. The real constraint is the physical infrastructure stack that sits behind every data center — transformers, generators, power distribution, cooling, cabling, and substations. The hardware that makes a facility actually tur

Today, Data Power Supply is proud to announce a formal partnership agreement with The HUB at Office Logic — Miami's premier innovation community founded by Noelle Jackson. Together, we are building the ultimate tech hub in the heart of Miami, and we're opening early access to a select group of founders, investors, and builders right now. Why The HUB? The HUB at Office Logic isn't just a coworking space. It's a living, breathing innovation engine in downtown Miami — home to 50

SpaceX is about to IPO Starlink at a $350B valuation headline. There's a hidden arbitrage in the filing everyone is missing — and I'll get to that. But first, here's what nobody in the finance world is factoring in yet: the physics problem that quietly costs Starlink billions every year. The Orbital Mechanics Problem Nobody Is Pricing In Managing 7,000+ satellites in LEO means running continuous orbital mechanics simulations — trajectory corrections, collision avoidance, sign

Tomorrow morning, Elon Musk and Sam Altman go toe-to-toe — not in a boardroom, but in federal court in Oakland, California. The stakes: $150,000,000,000 and the soul of artificial intelligence itself. How We Got Here In 2015, Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI as a nonprofit — a bold bet that AI could be developed safely for the benefit of all humanity. He funded it. He believed in it. Then he walked away. Sam Altman took the wheel. Under his leadership, OpenAI transformed from a sc
