in 2000, @saylor was the laughing stock of wall street after losing $6B of investors money.
but he didn’t quit.
he spent the next 26 years of his life retard maxxing and found a new way to run it back and achieve an even bigger loss of investors money.
inspirational 💯
Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Demis Hassabis and many others have signed a letter urging Congress to increase security on orders of synthetic nucleic acids - and the equipment needed to make them - as models continue to become increasingly bio-capable.

@sawinyh@VitalikButerin Agreed. It’s a complex but very interesting domain.
I suspect it will likely be constituted by emergent behaviour between agents, similar to them inventing their own language. Rather than being imposed top down by people…
Agentic languages of settlement & trade .
Proud to be the first high school student in the world to ever be sanctioned by an authoritarian regime for uncovering corruption. It just proves that the work I’ve done to expose Russias sanctions evasion stablecoin, A7A5, has touched a raw nerve.

The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏
A widening property-fraud investigation into a $4 billion luxury resort linked to Jared Kushner has led Albanian authorities to freeze developer assets, compounding pressure from public protests and international critics.

@Jason Ultimately the problem is American Dynamism is not America First.
The former is actually apolitical, and sees the USA as an instrumental substrate, the later is its populist front.
That is what is what is being reconciled.
The rest is the footnote.
If we have learnt anything by now it’s that if that seemingly brilliant person somehow gives you the creeps, they probably aren’t that brilliant and they almost definitely are a creep.

UNDERWATER DATA CENTERS
China has achieved what it calls the world’s first fully operational, commercially running underwater AI data center off the coast of Shanghai.
The facility, developed in partnership with HiCloud Technology (also referred to as Hailanyun), features nearly 2,000 servers housed in sealed, submarine-grade capsules submerged in the ocean.
By leveraging the natural cooling power of seawater, it dramatically reduces energy demands cutting cooling costs by up to 90% compared to traditional land-based data centers. The entire system is powered by nearby offshore wind farms, making it highly renewable and energy-efficient.
The $226 million project was officially launched in June 2025, with construction completed later that year and full commercial operations beginning in recent weeks. It supports high-performance AI workloads, including GPU clusters from partners like China Telecom.
For context, the U.S. explored similar concepts through Microsoft’s Project Natick but quietly shelved the initiative in 2024 after successful trials, opting not to pursue large-scale commercial deployment.
This development highlights China’s aggressive push to address the massive energy and cooling challenges of scaling AI infrastructure.
This is an interesting engineering achievement in the AI infrastructure race, though scaling, maintenance, and long-term reliability in a marine environment will be key factors to watch.
