@darrenmarble Friends found out they were expecting a baby. At the doctor they said „this really isn‘t a good time for this“. To which the doctor replied: „It‘s never a good time.“

BREAKING: Trump admin moves to BAN imports if Chinese humanoid robots

Reuters reports that the FCC is moving to ban imports of new humanoid and quadruped robots.

This is great for Robostrategy $BOT - a holding company of US robotics firms like Figure AI, Dyna and Standard Bots.

In total at least 92.7% of assets are firms incorporated, operating and headquartered in the US.

The founder of Aldi was once kidnapped and while in captivity took part in the ransom negotiations. He was able to convincethe kidnappers to settle for less than what they had initially demanded.

After being freed he went to court seeking to deduct the ransom as a business expense for tax purposes, which was successful.

Not sure how willing they are to donate any kinds funds.

@KillaXBT Mining is selling compute for Bitcoin.

And since 2019, AI has emerged as a competitor for compute, while Bitcoin has shown that it‘s neither digital cash nor digital gold.

@TheICHpodcast Wow! So much hate under this post. 🔥

@kevinxu is really polarizing.

I guess it‘s part of the success to advertise that you own USD10m+ and casually make $120k per month extra on X almost by accident, but it also invites a lot of controversy.

@zachcoelius Makes me want to read the Monde actually.

To be fair, journalists have to add some drama. Who‘s reading an article where they „deliberate“ on regular „Sundays“.

@julianhosp No fundamental change, but consensus formed that it bottomed. Because of that, people added again, ETF flows flipped back to positive.

Still 60% down from last years high though.

@milesdeutscher If we‘re in the singularity, i.e. AI improving itself beyond human capsbility or understanding, what do the labs need all these people for?

[Hype Shrimp @HypeShrimp]

@markproduct Owning things.

And managing what they own.

@brian_armstrong Why don‘t agents just use credit cards like the rest of us?

If the singularity is defined as the point where AI becomes capable of improving itself recursively, i.e. each generation designs a better successor, causing progress to accelerate beyond human ability to predict or control, then I‘m not sure where there yet.

The labs seem to use AI for model development, but they still to guide it with humans, no?

@davcarretta @ecb Are these two actually Italian or American?

@santiagomaje The birds are nice. The buildings are terrible. They should celebrate European heritage, not it‘s bureaucracy.

@NoLimitGains Earnings per share has gone up as you sjow, but Free Cash Flow to Equity hasn‘t. Maybe that‘s the reason? Or people worried about capitalized cost for infra buildout?
