Welcome to the Tech Brew Ride Home for Wednesday, November 26, 2025. I'm Brian McCullough today. Trump has a plan to boost AI innovation. Polymarket is now street legal in the U.S. Google thinks it needs to double AI capacity every six months. Is Starlink about to face its first serious competition, and for

reasons I'll explain, the weekend long-read suggestions?

Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.

President Trump has signed an executive order establishing something called the Genesis

mission to boost AI innovation, including by using federal security. President Trump has signed an executive order establishing something called the Genesis mission

to boost AI innovation, including by using federal scientific data sets to train models and

create AI agents. Quoting Reuters, Trump directed the U.S. Energy Department and U.S.

National Laboratories to, quote, unite America's brightest minds, most powerful computers, and vast scientific data into one

cooperative system for research. DoE will create a closed-loop AI experimentation platform,

integrating U.S. supercomputers and datasets to generate foundation models and power robotic laboratories.

Michael Kratios, who heads the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy,

said the effort aims to unlock federal data sets and massively accelerate the rate of scientific

breakthrough. He said the Genesis mission aims to use AI to automate, experiment, design,

accelerate simulation, and generate predictive models for everything from protein folding

to fusion plasma dynamics. This will shorten discovery timelines from years to days or even hours.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright noted the massive private sector investment in AI, but said the government

wanted to pivot those efforts to focus on scientific discovery, engineering

advancements, and to do that, you need the datasets that are contained across our national labs.

The order pays particular attention to U.S. national economic and health security, including

biotechnology, critical materials, nuclear fission, and fusion energy, space exploration, quantum information,

science, semiconductors, and microelectronics, end quote.

Polymarket says it has received an amended USC CFTC designation, thereby letting it operate a
