Between 290,000 and 1.6 million H100-equivalent chips have been smuggled into China. For reference, xAI's entire compute fleet is around 550,000 H100-equivalents. Export controls did not stop the buildout. They added a routing fee. Taiwan to Japan to Hong Kong. Three individuals detained.

The US government almost required AI labs to share frontier models 90 days before release. Then it didn't. Hours before signing, the order was pulled. The official reason: it could slow America's lead over China.

Japan Airlines launched a humanoid robot trial at Haneda Airport this month. Baggage handling. Cabin cleaning. A two-year run. The reason is not technology enthusiasm. Japan's working-age population is projected to decline by nearly a third by 2060.

A Harvard study found OpenAI's o1 correctly identified diagnoses more often than human physicians. In one case it flagged a dangerous flesh-eating infection the treating doctor initially missed. The correct diagnosis appeared in the AI's output roughly 80% of the time.

OpenAI just ended its Azure exclusivity. Microsoft gets 20 percent of OpenAI's revenue through 2030. OpenAI gets the right to work with any cloud provider. Amazon is already distributing OpenAI products through AWS. The AI distribution war now has a new front.

Spotify and Universal Music Group just struck a deal that most people filed under "music industry news." It is not music industry news. It is IP licensing architecture news.

OpenAI's Codex can now work directly inside Chrome, operating across tabs in the background on macOS and Windows. Most people read this as a coding tool update. It isn't. It's a browser agent deployment.

SpaceX is reportedly considering spending between $55 billion and $119 billion on a vertically integrated semiconductor fab in Texas. Tesla and Intel are reportedly involved. The chips would supply AI servers, satellites, space data centers, and autonomous vehicles.

Anthropic's CEO said he hopes 80x growth does not continue. Not because demand is slowing. Because that pace is operationally too hard to handle. Think about what that means. The bottleneck in AI right now is not the model. It is not the algorithm. It is not even the chip.

Microsoft just released its own reasoning model, image model, transcription model, voice model, and code model. In one week. This isn't a partnership play. It's independence. For years, Microsoft was OpenAI's distribution arm. That relationship is quietly becoming something else.

This is life! This is community! This is beautiful!

Living with Parkinson's is a profound challenge, difficult to articulate even for those who understand. But remarkable progress, like Justin Putman's ability to move freely after DBS treatment, offers immense hope.

Rep. McGovern hits the nail on the head again: it took YEARS to get 9/11 victims compensated. But Trump easily found a way to give a bunch of convicted criminals & conmen our hard-earned 💰. This slush fund is a slap in the face to every law-abiding, tax paying citizen. Of course Trump is neither.

I first heard "Streets of Minneapolis" at a protest on Nicollet Avenue on the day the song came out, blaring from a car with its windows down (despite the frigid cold) to play it for all of us. It was equally chilling to hear Springsteen sing it at MSG last night. (1/2)

Hormones affect bone health, muscle tone, and recovery. In scoliosis, hormonal shifts, including those related to birth control, may influence symptoms or stability in some individuals. Hormones are one piece of the bigger picture. 📩 Upload your X-rays for review. #ScoliSMART

From the developer of GIGABUSTER comes DRAGUN, a stylish run & gun platformer that looks so good! Do you agree?

Everyone sees this increase in control and is concerned, fascist take this anger and directed towards racial ethnic, or other majoritarian anger. We must ensure that the majority that is represented, is the working class not the white Christian men.

None of this should be happening right now. We need to force our elected officials to open the fucking boxes. This isn't about changing what's already happening, this is about securing the future. This is about letting them know that we know what happened. The collaborating evidence is in the boxes

Speaker Johnson really wondered how we expect the millionaires in Congress to live off only $174k without a little stock trading. That's why I pledge to dedicate time in Congress to teaching the 98% of Congress that isn’t from the working class about how to make ends meet, no insider trading needed.

Mom – You are the one Like the sun You shine so bright, Fill our world with warmth and light. Everything revolves around you Without you, what would we do? (Party!) Today and always! Mom Moooom! You are the one! Full song: link in the comments #HappyMothersDay #MothersDay #humor #music #song

Protest music is supposed to make people uncomfortable. If this song pissed somebody off, it probably did its job. Comment “I’M IN” if you’re still standing for art, truth, and independent music. 🖤

Love this coaching from Mike Brown. Screams at Kolek (rightfully so) and benchs him for dropping back instead of chasing the red-hot shooter off the 3PT line Then, after emotions cool down, Brown goes over to Kolek on the bench and explains himself. Then daps him up.

The use of AI in asylum decision-making is likely unlawful. These tools rewrite interviews, choosing what to include and exclude. Without knowing this, asylum applicants can't be sure accurate information is used to inform decisions. 📺️ ORG's @sarahalsherif.bsky.social explains the legal opinion.

In 2016, Donald Trump campaigned on restoring ethics in government. Since then, he has refused to divest from his business interests as his net worth has increased by billions of dollars. My latest supercut for @ms.now

Dept of Veterans Affairs says it appears from satellite imagery that there’s “further damage” to war graves at the Gaza War Cemetery in addition to ones already bulldozed by Israel, but can’t advise if or how many damaged are Aus Graves coz we’re not allowed in. Shocking. #auspol
