For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Seriously, why birds…? We could have historical persons, historical buildings, and simple birds could be chosen to represent the European Union…

Ok, some countries might be sad to not see a building or person from their country, but putting birds…

@LeaBourseFR @Q_Triquenaux Ayant vécu à Moscou, j’ai vu émerger, ces dernières années, des terminaux avec le pourboire ajouté par défaut, ce que je trouve insupportable.
Avec le serveur, face à moi, qui me regarde pour m’imposer une pression morale afin que je laisse un pourboire et ne paraisse pas cruel.

Furthermore, people (even investors) don’t realize that $1 in the US is not worth the same as $1 in China. Adjusted for PPP, China is definitely competing with the US in terms of investment.

[Bull Theory @BullTheoryio]

THIS IS INSANE

The US is "Outspending" China on AI by 23x.

US private AI investment hit $285.9 billion in 2025, versus China's reported $12.4 billion, according to Stanford's 2026 AI Index Report. On paper, that's a 23x gap.

But that gap is inflated on one side and misleading on the other.

It is inflated because China's $12.4 billion only counts private investment.

It excludes an estimated $184 billion in state-directed funding that has flowed into Chinese AI companies since 2000, money that doesn't show up in this comparison at all.

Analysts at Société Générale believe China's real AI spending is far closer to the US than 23x suggests, it's just structured to stay invisible to the metrics everyone is using to declare a winner.

It is misleading on the US side because that $285.9 billion isn't spread across a healthy, competitive industry.

Even as the number of newly funded AI companies grew 70.8% in a single year, the number of $1 billion+ mega funding rounds jumped from 15 to 28, and the average deal size rose 46% to $66.5 million. Capital is concentrating into fewer hands every year, OpenAI's $40 billion raise being the clearest example.

Add in hyperscaler infrastructure spending, Google alone spent over $150 billion on AI in 2025, and you get the same handful of companies capturing almost the entire buildout on both the funding side and the compute side.

China is hiding how much it actually spends. The US is showing exactly how much it spends, and it's all landing on the same few companies.

Switching from conventional to organic produce cuts measured pesticide exposure within days

Studies measuring pesticide metabolites in urine show total pesticide residues drop about 91%, glyphosate about 71%, and its primary metabolite AMPA about 77%

In children, a 40-day organic diet has also been shown to lower oxidative stress markers, including DNA damage and lipid peroxidation

That matters because pesticide exposure has been observationally linked to cancer, Parkinson’s disease, thyroid dysfunction, fertility issues, and other health risks

La climatisation est un sujet qui fâche.

Pourtant, une pompe à chaleur et un climatiseur, c'est la même machine et l'État subventionne l'une l'hiver tout en diabolisant l'autre l'été.

Dans cette vidéo, on vous raconte pourquoi la France a un problème idéologique avec la climatisation. Et pourquoi ce n'est ni un problème scientifique, ni un problème technologique... ni un problème écologique.

Poxa, que surpresa, taxar dividendos deu errado.

O governo esperava 30 bilhões. De janeiro a abril, roubou... 885 milhões. 3% da meta.

E agora a expectativa é que não passe de 10 bilhões.

Dinheiro fugiu, dividendos foram antecipados, e encontraram outras formas de contornar o governo. Exatamente como TODO MUNDO falou que ia acontecer.

E podemos afimar: é pior que isso. Porque isso não conta o dinheiro que fugiu.

Temos vários clientes aqui na Settee que resolveram não investir mais no Brasil por causa disso. Ou que resolveram tirar dinheiro do país.

E inclusive, alguns que decidiram começar o encerramento da empresa, e ir fazer outra coisa em outro país.

Quanto o governo perdeu nisso? Mais que 885 milhões em 4 meses? Quase certamente. Ainda mais se contarmos que pessoas demitidas, ou que deixarão de ser empregadas, usam mais serviços públicos.

É simples. Trate investidor como lixo, criminoso ou inimigo, e ele vai embora.

O quão difícil é entender isso? Quem investe, empreende e emprega é a espinha dorsal da economia de um país.

Essas pessoas deveriam ser vistas como heróis. Especialmente no Brasil. E muitos países de fato tratam elas como heróis.

Milei na Argentina falou literalmente isso. Empreendedores são heróis.

O Paraguai faz tudo que for possível para atrair empreendedores brasileiros.

Mesmo o Uruguai, que elegeu um governo de esquerda, está fazendo reformas de liberdade econômica para atrair negócios.

Até a Bolívia elegeu um presidente, o Paz Pereira, prometendo capitalismo para todos.

Talvez o Brasil aprenda a lição com isso. Talvez. Mas você não precisa nem deveria esperar que o eleitor mediano aprenda isso.

Você deveria é estar preocupado em proteger seu dinheiro, e em ir para um país onde quem produz é tratado com dignidade e respeito, não como um bandido.

Se é isso que você quer, estamos aqui para te ajudar. Nos contate. O site está na bio, e nossas DMs estão abertas.
