What can a vintage refrigerator tell us about capitalism? Quite a lot, actually!

@X @nikitabier @elonmusk I am once again asking you to review your policies and procedures around offensive security research.

@dinodaizovi Why disable an EDR, potentially drawing attention to the endpoint, when I can just peacefully coexist with it? It’s really not that difficult to evade the sensor, especially if not configured properly.

From the Founding Fathers to today's founders, our American spirit is defined by our determination to build a more secure union.

Happy 250th to the United States of America.

NEW: BPI research reveals that a Marxist-Leninist group with documented ties to China has been a critical mobilizer in efforts that have blocked or delayed $23.6 billion in AI investment in the US.

Its scalps include 10 data center moratoria, 1 permanent data center ban, and 4 rejected or scrapped AI projects.

In Part II of our foreign influence investigation, BPI exposes the Party for Socialism and Liberation (or PSL) as the political arm of Shanghai-based Neville Singham, and lays bare a national campaign launched by the party to stop America’s data center buildout.

Singham is the subject of multiple federal investigations into his reported ties to the CCP. Our research uncovers the anti-data-center organizing of his activist vehicle, the PSL, across 21 campaigns in 14 states, in roles ranging from lead organizer to one member of a broader coalition.

This report adds to the mounting evidence that China and its surrogates are committed to stopping America’s data center buildout so that Beijing can gain the advantage in the AI race.

@0xTriboulet @Horizon3ai Congrats!

@POTFES It’s a test reactor. Did you even read the post?

[Isaiah Taylor - making nuclear reactors @isaiah_p_taylor]

Moments ago, Valar Atomics took Ward 250 critical for the first time. This fulfills President Trump’s EO 14301, which called for 3 advanced reactors to go critical by July 4th.

This is our second criticality as a company, and an important step toward our goal of power by July 4.

@DPerdoni2 @CJ900X Unless you plan on buying up some fiber lines and running BGP, you are unfortunately stuck relying on an ISP. Better to use site-to-site tunnels.

I have something like this too kind of. But instead of a 22,000 square foot area encapsulated in an air conditioned mini-stadium, I have a VM on my desktop.

@KiraBrook @CultistCorasahn @JezziiB What’s wrong with hunting?

[Ben 🇺🇸 @coremedd]

@KatieJRogers @rizzbolt Right it’s a private company though, so nothing to do with a surveillance state. Since they’re willing to pay people to do that there must be enough demand for it. In single party consent states I don’t see any issue.

[Ben 🇺🇸 @coremedd]

@KatieJRogers @rizzbolt I live in a big city and don’t mind knowing what’s going on around me. Not sure how surveillance has anything to do with it. Most of the incidents on the app come from police scanners or user reports.

This stuff makes me so mad and it should make you mad too.

You’re being lied to about the benefits of AI and AI infrastructure in America by people who are NOWHERE NEAR AMERICA

[Ben 🇺🇸 @coremedd]

@OrangeThierry @Playerinthgame Explain why it’s unnecessary.

@dogecrat1789 @Germania_Freyja China does not have any nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in service, but France has 1.

@BuffBiffalo @Swole_Medic @felpix_ They’re not just for LLMs they’re for AI model training and development. Not all AI models are LLMs.
