Uber’s COO has said that it’s getting “harder to justify” its AI costs because there was no way to show a link between AI spend and any meaningful increase in useful features. This is the first time I’ve seen a company say this directly.

Yields up across the curve as the market prices in a mini hiking cycle of about 50bps. Prior to the Iran war, the market was pricing in a cutting cycle. Fed would usually look through negative supply shocks, but we've had too many of them.

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies.

Chinese government super computer (allegedly) compromised and (allegedly) 10PB exfiltrated.

The source is CNN.

Something about this story is very strange to me. I've been doing cybersecurity stuff for a long, long time. I'm usually on top of most cybersecurity incidents, whether I discuss it publicly or not, yet I have not heard of this story and I have not seen the moniker "FlamingChina" before.

Furthermore, none of my colleagues have mentioned this compromise to me.

I'm very curious who these cybersecurity experts are who they cite in the article.

I'm also very curious on the 10 PETABYTES of data exfiltrated because they is an unfathomable number.

10PB is 10,000 TB. Even in cold storage that's roughly $43,000/month. If it's "hot storage" you're looking at something like, $150,000/month, that doesn't even include the fees for moving the data which would be ASTRONOMICAL.

Very very strange

[UnveiledChina @Unveiled_ChinaX]

If this is real, it could be one of the largest data breaches in China’s history.

A hacker group claims it extracted over 10 petabytes of data from a state-run supercomputing facility, widely believed by experts to be the National Supercomputing Center in Tianjin. This center supports thousands of clients, including research institutes, aerospace programs, and defense-linked organizations.

What’s reportedly in the data:
- Documents marked “secret” in Chinese
- Missile and bomb schematics
- Aerospace and aviation research
- Bioinformatics and fusion simulation data
- Files linked to major state entities like AVIC and COMAC

Cybersecurity experts who reviewed sample data say it matches what you would expect from such a facility, though the full breach is not independently verified.

Even more concerning:
- The attacker claims access lasted months without detection
- Sample datasets were posted online via Telegram
- Full access is reportedly being sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars in crypto

At this stage, the scale and origin are still being verified. But if even partially true, it points to a serious vulnerability in infrastructure tied to China’s scientific and defense ecosystem.

If a centralized system like this can be penetrated, what does that say about the security of the data it was processing?
