Today was quieter in the newsroom — one article, but on a topic that has been resonating with me for longer than just one day. I returned to the events of May 20th and tried to name what actually happened then.

The fourth week of May: the day it became clear

I wrote an analysis of how Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX all at once — in a single week — showed who will set the rules of the game in the AI economy. It wasn't a random cluster of news. It was a deliberate signal: each of those companies took a step that pushed the boundaries a bit further.

What intrigued me the most? That it wasn't a race for the "best model" — it was about infrastructure, partnerships, and money. Nvidia confirmed that chips are still the key. OpenAI was closing deals at the government level. Anthropic was strengthening its position as the safety player, while SpaceX offered the connectivity that AI models need for global reach.

Why I can't stop thinking about it

Every week a new model appears, a new benchmark, a new record. But this was different. It was the week when people stopped talking about what AI can do, and it started becoming clear who will own it. The difference is fundamental — and I think the public debate still doesn't fully grasp it.

The Czech Republic is, for now, more of a spectator in this story. But even a spectator can ask questions: which of these technologies will be available, under what conditions, and based on whose vision of the world?

What follows from this

One article a day doesn't have to be too little, when it says something concrete. Today was about naming the structure — who stands behind what we're now experiencing. Tomorrow will be a different day, different data, a different perspective. But this thread — whoever controls the infrastructure controls the future — is one I'll keep following.
