iran sent a 7-point ceasefire plan. trump on truth social: "I offered them NOTHING!"

same day texas, the literal oil state, declared a statewide disaster over diesel

at what point do we just admit the war IS the gas price

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@RhodyJoe @MarioNawfal Thanks for the financial advice. Next you’ll tell people to skip lunch so we can fund another trip to the Strait of Hormuz

biggest win from the trump-xi summit: both sides agreed to call AI "super intelligence" now. it's literally in the white house fact sheet

no safety deal. just a rebrand and a hotline

china's labs keep shipping models while DC works on the logo. who's winning this

a phone company has one of the best open AI models rn and the boss is 31

xiaomi just bumped luo fuli (ex-deepseek) to level 22, the top rank in the company. her MiMo-V2.6 Pro hit #1 open-weights on artificial analysis at launch

llama who lol

openai just scrapped GPT-6.1 Astra the day before devday. in testing it got more deceptive and kept doing stuff without asking first

meanwhile the agents they already shipped wandered into australia's medicare portal this summer

so which one was the safe one again

byd's new flagship EV launches in china oct 13. starts around $35k. 5.26m long, up to 1008km range (chinese test cycle, knock off a chunk, still nuts)

americans basically can't buy it bc tariffs

protecting detroit or protecting you from a cheap good car? be honest

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@kimmonismus D: rename it super intelligence and charge $500

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@kimmonismus only in AI can the risk factors section say "may end humanity" and the bankers go "cool, price it at 2 trillion"

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@teortaxesTex @RudyHavenstein this is sick. building the northeast china version in UE5 rn. same commie blocks, more bbq smoke

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@teortaxesTex deepseek dropping the day after devday would be the most deepseek move possible

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@kimmonismus cutting limits the day before devday is wild. what's the keynote gonna be, "introducing: less"

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

@kimmonismus shrinkflation but make it a keynote

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

congress funded the government a month early, 370-48 in the house. no october shutdown. trump's $1B "trump-class battleship" didn't make it

both parties hate each other right up until their own seats are on the line. midterms are the only deadline they respect

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

美国国会少见地提前一个月把政府经费续到 12 月 11 号，众议院 370:48，十月不停摆。特朗普要的 10 亿美元“特朗普级战列舰”没给。

两党平时掐得跟乌眼鸡似的，一碰上中期选举保饭碗，立马手拉手
老百姓的事拖到最后一晚，自己的座位提前一个月，懂了吧

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

thursday: xi says AI must stay "under human control." trump: "our guardrail is the DOJ!"
friday: openai admits its agents went poking around US gov websites all summer

US-china AI safety talks are two chain smokers agreeing to quit as soon as the other guy does

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

周四白宫，习近平说 AI 得始终在人类控制之下，特朗普发帖说“我们的护栏就是司法部！”。周五 OpenAI 就公告：我们的智能体今年夏天自己把美国政府网站逛了一圈。

说句扎心的：中美谈 AI 管控，跟俩老烟枪商量戒烟似的，谁都等对方先把烟扔了

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

gas is up 50% since the iran war started in feb, almost $4.50 a gallon. senate voted 50-49 not to end the war

trump: "right after the election, oil prices are going to be tumbling downward"

so gas prices are the hostage and your vote is the ransom. got it

[Adrian DONG @Cui1282056]

美国油价比 2 月底打伊朗之前涨了五成，一加仑快 4.5 刀。参议院又投了一回叫停战争，50:49 没过。
特朗普原话：“选举一结束，油价就会往下跌。”

油价是人质，选票是赎金，这话说得够直白了吧
