India's $200 Billion "Neutral" AI Bluff
India is marketing itself as the democratized, neutral AI hub for the Global South, aiming for $200 billion in data center investments. But a look at the tenant list reveals a different story: U.S. tech giants are using Indian territory and subsidies to build data havens to regulatory launder AI.
The Ban That Broke the Build Pipeline
Trump's government-wide ban on Anthropic threatens far more than a $200 million contract. The real weapon is the "supply chain risk" designation, which would force every defense contractor in America to rip Claude out of their developer tools overnight.
