"When a man marries his cleaner, the GDP of both households collapses even while the actual labor being done remains the same and everyone is better off. In our case, we’re seeing the opposite: a thousand small divorces and social fragmentations which boost the appearance of GDP but leave everyone poorer in reality."

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

The company that JUST built one of the most advanced AI models on Earth is not a chip giant or a research lab. It delivers dinner. 🍽️ 🥘

China's food-delivery app Meituan released a 1.6 trillion-parameter model this week, trained from start to finish on 50,000 domestic chips, with not a single American processor involved. The wall built to deny China frontier Ai just got walked straight through, by a company best known for bringing you takeout.

The size is not even the real story. Until now, China could run finished models on home-grown chips, but the punishing work of training one from scratch was assumed to need American silicon.

Meituan says it did the whole thing, training and all, on Chinese hardware alone. That is the exact assumption the entire export-control strategy was built on, and it just cracked.

And the part almost nobody noticed is why a “delivery company” could pull this off.

Meituan has spent years watching trillions of real-world orders move through cities, food, couriers, shops, logistics. That is data about the physical world that no lab model trained purely on the internet possesses. The takeout business was not a distraction from the AI. It was the moat. Think about it.

The model is open-source and FREE, runs a one-million-token memory, and had quietly topped global developer charts for two months under a code name before anyone knew it was Chinese.

Meituan claims it performs on par with Google's flagship Gemini 3.1 PRO

This is the whole contest in a single image. One side is betting that intelligence is a treasure to be locked in a vault. The other is betting it is a flood that cannot be dammed, and that the company sitting on the most real-world data wins, even if that company delivers your lunch. A trillion-parameter model, trained on banned hardware and handed to anyone who wants it, is the loudest evidence yet of which bet is winning.

Is this why Dario is upset these days? Anthropic Dario just described this situation as a “very dangerous path,” warning that releasing highly capable frontier AI models as completely FREE as open source can reduce oversight of how they are used.

The fix everything button is literally just to arrest criminals and keep them in jail

Bukele was able to do this in a matter of months

When you see the crime and rot in western cities and feel unsafe letting your wife walk around, know that it is a choice.

It’s a very simple concept, really.

[Dr Singularity @Dr_Singularity]

El Salvador's President, @nayibbukele Nayib Bukele, is one of the few leaders who actually gets it and is acceleration pilled.

Technological progress is the only real path to solving humanity's biggest problems.

Degrowth will not save us. It will only make people poorer, slow down innovation, and trap civilization in stagnation. Problems are not solved by having less wealth, less energy, less industry, and less ambition.

Without more wealth, you do not get more advanced tech and science.
Without advanced science, you do not get better medicine, cleaner energy, smarter infrastructure, longer lives, abundance.

Without technological progress, you are just managing decline.

Every major improvement in human history came from doing more, building more, discovering more, and becoming more capable, not from shrinking civilization.

The way forward is not less technology.

If we want to cure diseases, reverse aging, build clean energy at massive scale, explore space, automate dangerous work, and raise global living standards, we need acceleration.

Nunca dejes que las burlas de los demás detengan tus metas.

Cuando propuse que el Hospital Rosales, que en ese momento era el peor hospital del país, se convirtiera en el mejor de Centroamérica, hasta mis propios ministros se rieron.

Imaginen lo que decían la oposición y los incrédulos.

Pero yo sabía que, con esfuerzo, disciplina y sin mirar hacia atrás ni hacia los lados, se podía lograr.

Y lo logramos.

Hoy, el Hospital Rosales es el mejor hospital de Centroamérica, público o privado. Cuenta con todas las especialidades médicas, el equipamiento más avanzado del mundo, 200 especialistas extranjeros y 3,000 salvadoreños listos para atender cualquier enfermedad de forma gratuita.

El siguiente paso es que más hospitales de nuestro país alcancen ese nivel.

Pronto tendremos otra sorpresa.

Primero Dios.

SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!

Western civilization has collapsed before.

But a few scholars preserved the ideas that once made Rome great. They made a backup, and it did eventually come all the way back.

It just took one thousand years.

- Focused the training policy on full-body engagement rather than just hand-grasping, allowing the robot to leverage its entire frame for the lift.
