Wow. So Trump actually takes orders from Pakistan and Qatar, and not Netanyahu? Big if true!

Summary of the Iran deal:

Iran: we want 25 billion

Trump: get your shit together or we’re going to give you 150 billion!

Iran. …

Trump: you know what, make it $300 billion and we don’t even have to talk about your missiles or the proxies

This image, viewed over 1.5 million times and liked more than 100,000 times, is AI-generated and fake. Iran has no such football player, and the kit is not real.

OpenAI's image detector says it was generated with OpenAI tools.

[Vaibhav Sisinty @VaibhavSisinty]

Okay this is genuinely insane.

SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.

It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.

AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.

They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.

So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.

In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.

And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."

One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.

AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.

And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.

The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

CFD test of the alleged Area 51 craft spotted in recent IR/thermal imagery (structure seems to be a mix of the X-36 and the Bird of Prey).
Four-regime Mach sweep: M0.8, M1.1, M2.0, M3.0. 2D Euler Simulation only, but the silhouette is wild.

Good morning, Asia. While you were sleeping, one of our most-read stories was about US government data that showed Donald Trump’s Iran war has driven US oil inventories to their lowest level since 2004. https://t.co/kAtnmgHcuy

[Jim Bianco @biancoresearch]

Feb 27 is the day before the war began.

The black line is the S&P 500; it is up 10+% since Feb 27.

The blue line is the S&P WITHOUT the AI stocks (see the description and repost). It is still DOWN 0.66%.

Maybe soaring gas prices are having an impact on the market after all?

if there’s a deal, the united states and iran will both declare victory. heck, i’m all in favor of participation trophies if it gets the strait reopened.

Internet returning across Iran after months of near-total blackout. Connectivity at ~86%. Mobile networks reconnecting. Regime censorship still active, WhatsApp restricted, some areas still dark.

Unsure if this signals recession or boom

[NetBlocks @netblocks]

😶 Metrics show that #Iran's internet blackout is ongoing into its 79th day in its twelfth week. The mass-censorship measure has reshaped the nature of civic participation with information controls being used to relegate the general public to mere observers in their own country.
