PLUS: Grok 3 controversy over benchmarks and censorship and Microsoft's quantum chip blows minds worldwide.

Welcome to a new week!

Nearly at the end of February and Lauren is taking a very well deserved break this week so you are stuck with my rambly reckons until March. I will try and talk about Elon Musk and AI only a reasonable amount. That being said, there’s a lot happening in that world so let’s jump right in!

Here’s the Daily Shot of news you don’t want to miss:

• AI is powering ‘tiny teams’ and changing how startups raise money

• David Seymour announces Overseas Investment Act overhaul

• Rowan Simpson argues more diversity is critical to NZ’s success

• Controversy over Grok 3’s benchmark performance and censorship

• Last chance to register for Blackbird Giants Roadshow
