Meta Goes Nuclear on AI

Meta’s latest AI move didn’t launch a new model or product. It locked down nuclear power.

The company signed agreements with multiple nuclear energy providers to supply electricity for Prometheus, its AI supercluster being built in Ohio.

The target is scale, not efficiency. Meta says the projects could add 6.6 gigawatts of power by 2035, more than the entire electricity demand of New Hampshire.

The twist is that the constraint isn’t new.

Data centers have been straining local grids for years, and every major AI lab has been running into the same wall. What changed is the response. Instead of optimizing around the problem, Meta is building past it.

This is the next phase of the AI race. Compute is no longer the bottleneck. Power is.

TikTok Lands the World Cup

TikTok just became FIFA’s preferred social video platform for the 2026 Men’s World Cup.

On paper, it is a distribution partnership. In practice, it is a creator pipeline wired directly into the largest sporting event on the planet.

TikTok creators will receive special access across the 48-nation tournament, archival FIFA footage to remix, and placement inside a dedicated in-app World Cup hub watched by hundreds of millions globally.

How Creators Can Get Involved

1. Apply for on-site and remote creator access through TikTok’s World Cup programs.

2. Use licensed FIFA archival footage for remixes, explainers, and reactions.

3. Build content around behind-the-scenes access, fan culture, and match-adjacent moments.

For creators, the 2026 World Cup is not just a once-every-four-years event. It is a six-week algorithmic gold rush, and TikTok has positioned itself as the front door.

How Influencers Make Real Cash on IG

A growing number of Instagram creators are making real money without brand deals, retainers, or long negotiations.

The mechanism is affiliate marketing, a system where creators earn a percentage of sales by recommending products through tracked links.

Everyone knows this model isn’t new. What changed is distribution.

Instagram’s shift toward Stories, Reels, product tagging, and link tools quietly turned everyday content into a conversion engine.

Many creators earning steady affiliate income are not celebrities. They are niche operators with high trust and repeat viewers.

Consistency now beats reach, and a handful of well-placed links can outperform a one-off sponsored post.
