Amid Trump praising Russia, a British journalist asks the moron president how it feels to be a loser.

The story keeps getting crazier. To recap everything that has been reported so far:

- The US intelligence community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of the largest company in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. (FT)
- Multiple independent investigations have concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout, which helps Chinese companies access AI chips or circumvent export controls. (NYT and Bloomberg)
- The US intelligence community also concluded that Alice Huang’s goal was to convince Jensen to lobby the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. (NYT)
- The intelligence community relayed this information to “a small group of top US government officials” earlier this year. (FT)
- Over the last year, Jensen Huang has repeatedly lobbied the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced chips. @BISgov has done so, not only by permitting the export of H200 chips to China, but also not enforcing export controls that would have required a license for exports of the most advanced Blackwell chips to Megaspeed and Southeast Asia.
- Although @CommerceGov leadership was presumably briefed on this information by the U.S. intelligence community, @BISgov has taken no actions to tighten controls on Megaspeed or Southeast Asia.
- Megaspeed remains a preferred cloud partner of Nvidia, and continues to receive Nvidia Blackwell chips despite employing a Chinese spy who reportedly is romantically engaged with the CEO of Nvidia.
- Tens of billions of dollars worth of AI chips have been exported to Southeast Asia this year alone, and Malaysia and Singapore are now two of the four largest importers of AI chips in the world.

What is going on here??? We need answers. The question of who gets the most advanced AI chips in the world is literally the defining strategic question of our time. And not only does it seem like the MSS may be directly influencing the debate on export controls in the United States, but also @CommerceGov is refusing to listen to the warnings of the IC on this issue. What is a POSSIBLE good explanation for why Megaspeed is still receiving chips? Why is there not a license requirement for AI chip shipments to all of Southeast Asia? This is beyond strange at this point.

The fallout from this story will be massive. Obviously, the motivations underpinning Nvidia’s policy views opposing export controls must now all be questioned. But also, how did @BISgov sit on this information and has still taken no actions? We need answers.

@PeVandererrer @CadillacF1News_ It's happened in the past, odd vibrations from flat spots or minor damage can sometimes exacerbate otherwise minor design issues. Look at Seb Buemi's Toro Ross in 2010 when both wheels flew off in China at the biggest braking zone. Also KMag in 2016, Kimi Raikkonen in 2005...

#RIP Patrick Stewart of Star Trek and X Men ...

On 12-4-1997, after getting a @PressClubDC coffee mug, he was asked, "Just from a purely logical point of view, why is it that a Captain whose name is Jean-Luc Picard have a perfect English accent?"

Patrick Stewart answer here:

BREAKING: Obama just MOCKED the entire Trump Administration for crashing out over his joke about the Cheesecake Factory. This is amazing.

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

In 1991, Patrick Stewart surprised STAR TREK creator Gene Roddenberry with a song and dance routine on the USS Enterprise-D bridge. The footage was never meant for public viewing, but eventually surfaced as a Season 5 DVD bonus feature.

He was so funny man like he’s going to be missed so fucking bad.

@SirPatStew Rest in peace to the best captain to ever grace the chair.

Thank you for all your great roles over the years. RIP Legend

@WeCopyYouDown @rgsneddon Apparently this bus was taken out of service not long before this incident occurred, so good chance there was a fault with the drive by wire or hybrid system. It looked like it suddenly surged to full power in a way a human operator would not do unless they had a medical problem.

[Chris Woods @christopherw]

@CarreAndi @rgsneddon It's real, it happened, it was verified and documented across media and press at the time. Very very lucky escape.

[Chris Woods @christopherw]

@pixhell @udiWertheimer Agreed, I won't. I value content made by people for people using their own skills and creativity, not lazily made generic and simulated stuff fuelled by this wave of AI boosterism supplanting actual creativity.
