What a video this is!

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

When part of Nepal’s Langtang Lirung glacier collapsed, millions of cubic metres of rock and ice plunged over a kilometre, triggering an earthquake and a debris flow that destroyed the China–Nepal border crossing and nearby villages.

Al Jazeera’s Daniel McKerrell explains.

Do read this thread.

“The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade”.

The power of what is being created is unbelievable. Every day I’m left stunned by what AI can do for me. It is too late to put the genie back in the bottle.

However, we HAVE to enforce proper guardrails and safety.

Without proper “alignment”, this could be a race to the end.

Corruption is not an issue anymore because everyone understands (and even respects) this basic human urge to hoard, to make more money. We even celebrate the top 15-20 billionaires of the nation as some sort of beacons of our culture and pride.

But what gets missed in this razzle-dazzle is that corruption is not just someone making extra money by bending rules - it also means those bent rules KILL people. In building fires, collapses, fake cancer medicines, adulterated foods, drunk driving, and a hundred other ways.

Corruption actually means someone making money by murdering people, murdering us.

Air India Express Boeing 737 operating flight IX 415 from Cochin to Abu Dhabi was forced to turn back mid-flight after the crew detected a rapidly falling oil quantity on Engine 1 and later shut the engine down when oil pressure entered the danger zone. The aircraft landed safely at Cochin International Airport. The aircraft was about 50 minutes after take-off and flying at 36000 feet when the pilot and co-pilot noticed Engine 1 oil quantity dropping rapidly. The crew carried out a FORDEC assessment. With the oil quantity continuing to fall, they decided to abandon the Abu Dhabi sector and return to Cochin: Sources

End of an era. Tim Cook stepped down as Apple CEO. Today John Ternus takes over.

Here's the pattern nobody is talking about.

Apple doesn't pick CEOs. It picks weapons for the next war.

Late 1990s. Apple was dying. It brought back Steve Jobs. A product visionary who saved the company by building things people didn't know they needed.

Apple had the best products but needed global scale.

It picked Tim Cook. An operations guy who turned it into a $5 trillion supply chain machine. $350 billion to $5 trillion on his watch. First company to cross $1T, $2T, $3T.

Apple has the best devices on earth and the weakest AI narrative in big tech.

So it picked an engineer.

John Ternus. 25 years at Apple.

He led the shift to Apple Silicon. Killed Intel. Shipped the M1. Hardware lead on every iPhone, Mac, iPad, and Vision Pro of the last decade.

The same week he becomes CEO, OpenAI and Anthropic are buying tens of thousands of his Mac minis to train AI agents. Apple hardware became critical AI infrastructure without Apple building a single AI model.

The AI war won't be won by chatbots. It'll be won on the chips AI runs on.

Ternus built those chips.

Tim Cook's last words as CEO: "My title changes tomorrow, but the love I have for the Apple community never will."

The hardest shoes in tech were handed to the quietest engineer in the room.

A Berlin artist made a shirt that makes you invisible to AI surveillance cameras. Like, the camera sees everyone else but skips right over you.

The pattern looks like a loud Hawaiian shirt to humans. But to AI detection systems, it breaks the outline of a human body so completely that the model can't register a person is there.

He built it by testing patterns against YOLO until the AI stopped seeing a human. Now he's selling it for $75.

If his name sounds familiar same guy who tricked Google Maps into showing a fake traffic jam by pulling 99 phones through an empty street in 2020.

It won't fool every system. But the government systems watching you are closed, proprietary, and impossible to test independently. The shirt is the question. The system that can't be questioned is the problem.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: JPMorgan warns a large-scale global food supply crisis could hit within the next year, forecasting global food inflation to nearly double from 2.8% now to 5% by early 2027, per JPMorgan Global Research.

The direct driver is fertilizer, 1/3 of the world's nitrogen fertilizer moves through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has kept shut since February. Unlike oil, there’s no strategic reserve for fertilizer and nothing to release.

Nitrogen fertilizer goes into about half of all crops grown globally.

Nepal produces less than 0.1% of the world’s carbon emissions.
But it’s paying the price for unchecked global pollution.
