Katie Zacharia Was Linked to an AI Rare-Earths Startup. It’s Even Weirder Than It Sounds
TL;DR
The short-lived White House press secretary was listed as an adviser to a Kristi Noem–linked company that aims to use AI for mining. Both the company and she say she never worked there.

Nauti's Take
For teams exploring AI in mining or infrastructure, company verification should come first: who actually operates the business, which projects exist, and what technical evidence is available? A prominent advisory list is insufficient on its own.
Verify those claims independently before opening partnership talks, investing, or integrating the technology into a workflow.
