Fitting, really, because yesterday felt like the day AI stopped being a tech story and became the plot of everything: fortunes, courtrooms, stock tickers and council chambers. Big money got bigger, big companies got bigger still, and the people asking "hang on, who's actually in charge here?" got noticeably louder. It's Tuesday, the week has found its feet, so pour the coffee and let's dig in.
