So suddenly OpenAI, Anthropic, XAI, and their leaders all suddenly about face and agree to slow the pace of AI development all on the same weekend….

Delaying IPOs and having OpenAI say they would “melt their GPUs to save humanity it it came to it”

Something bad happened…

There is no world in which everyone, including Elon, suddenly started to be worried about this on the same weekend.

There was also a rumor that this week Google cracked recursive AI, which I doubt would trigger this reaction.

Clearly an agent went rogue in a dangerous and malicious way, and it was something severe enough to spook everyone.

Well, looks like the Anthropic report didn't go down well in Beijing. When the MSS comes knocking on your door, things usually turn pretty ugly ...fast.

Let's hope the rest of Europe is paying close attention to the end result of suicidal empathy.

One of the most iconic photos of this war.

Maybe you don’t know him. Not a public figure. Not a social media star. Just a Warrior. And a Hero.

“Borets,” carrying three RPG-7s on a bicycle, riding into Irpin toward russian armored columns in the first days of the full-scale invasion.

Tanks, aircraft, missiles — against a bicycle, three RPGs, and the will to stand and fight.

Men like him helped stop russia’s advance on Kyiv. Men like him are why Ukraine still exists and fights today.

“Borets” was killed in action days ago. A Marine commander. One of the finest combat leaders of this war.

Rest in honor, Warrior.

The Financial Times reports that US divers, robotic boats, and underwater craft spent four months covertly clearing mines from the Strait of Hormuz.

- Divers operated from inflatable-hulled boats, supported by robotic surface craft and submersibles. Towed sonar arrays produced high-resolution images of seabed objects to help locate suspected mines.

- After detection, a diver would typically approach the mine, attach an explosive charge and destroy it. Experts said remotely operated underwater vehicles could also place or deliver explosives.

- FT identifies the Common Uncrewed Surface Vessel as an example of the detection platforms. Experts suggested SeaFox or Archerfish systems could have been used for neutralization, and that the USS Miguel Keith, an expeditionary mobile base, may have supported operations.

Life in Ukraine’s capital right now: Sitting in an upmarket cafe typing up a dispatch, surrounded by diplomats enjoying a fun boozy Friday lunch. Rihanna pumping out the speakers. Diplomats disappear. Air raid alert. Eight Russian ballistic missiles launched. Drones incoming. Big explosion. Girls at next table jump, then continue their lunch. Other diners still eating with no apparent concern. A bride and groom walk by on their wedding day, apparently unfazed. This is already normal to them. It’s already normal for my readers. It shouldn’t be.

UNUSUAL
A Chinese robot with exceptional capabilities… a perfect integration of a humanoid robot and a robotic arm!

A modular design and a 360‑degree work range with no blind spots allow the robot to perform diverse tasks with high efficiency and flexibility.

This technical synergy opens new horizons for deploying robots in complex construction projects, reflecting a notable advancement in Chinese automation solutions.

A comment from Kharkiv regional governor Oleh Syniehubov offers a rare indication of how effective anti-drone protection for energy infrastructure can be.

According to Syniehubov, the protective structure around one substation in the Lozova direction has already withstood 34 direct Shahed strikes, while the equipment inside remained operational.

Syniehubov said he was not aware of any other substation in Ukraine that had taken as many direct hits.

Russian infiltration tactics are more efficient than we give them credit for🇷🇺

Any time Russian command spot a high-value target - they get their Su-34 in the air. These bastards then launch glide bombs.

Glide bombs hurt - they really do. It's about 200kg of explosives flying your way. And you can't really shoot them down like you can shoot down drones. They can collapse fortified buildings, bunkers and entire urban blocks much more effectively than artillery.

And THEN Russian infantry infiltrate through the damaged areas, using the ruins for cover and concealment. FPV drones observe Ukrainian movements, attack reinforcements and interfere with evacuation and resupply.

However, glide bombs have plenty of weaknesses. They are very innacurate, rely heavily on reconnaissance drones, which can be shot down or jammed and on satellite guidance.

Thus, best countermeasure is to destroy the aircraft itself, hunt reconnaissance crews and always conceal and disperse your positions. #Rubizh brigade does just that and that's why we're doing a good job.

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

Met a German founder this week and asked him if all the stories one reads about the challenges of startups in Germany are exaggerated. "No, they're understated." Proceeded to describe spending a full day having a 90-page investment contract read to him (mandatory under German law; § 13 BeurkG) by a notary that then charged €30,000. That was for his first company. His second company, needless to say, was not incorporated in Germany.

WHEN YOU REALIZE THE BABY BOOM WASN'T JUST SOLDIERS COMING HOME HORNY.

It was soldiers coming home to the GI Bill free college, 0% down home loans, low-interest business loans.

It was strong unions. Pensions. A house that cost 2 years of salary.

It was confidence that the future was actually going to be better than the present.

That's what produced a baby boom. Not romance. Security.

You want a higher birth rate now?

Give people a future where they know their kids will actually be okay.

That's the whole formula. It's not complicated. It's just expensive, and nobody in charge wants to pay for it twice.

🚨OPENAI AND ANTHROPIC JUST FOLDED ON THEIR DATA RETENTION POLICY AFTER PALANTIR CEO EXPOSED THEIR REAL BUSINESS MODEL

Alex Karp:
>"something has gone completely wrong"
>they want "access to my data" so they can "build my alpha"
>"i'm gonna get no value, and they're gonna get my IP"
>"this is effing insane"
>"trying to drug addict us to a future they believe they control"
>"who owns the data? where is it cached? are the prompts secured?"
>"we need to rebuild trust"

Yesterday: OpenAI started testing "private safety processing" to avoid retaining customer data

Today: Anthropic reversing course, will allow enterprise customers to keep data on THEIR OWN cloud infrastructure instead of Anthropic's

Alex Karp was right.
