The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.

Donut Lab just walked into CES 2026, dropped a 400 Wh/kg, 5‑minute‑charging, 100,000‑cycle solid‑state battery on the table, told the rest of the industry: ‘Catch up, mortals.’
Everyone else is talking 2027–2030. Donut says Q1 2026. Verge motorcycle for order now, 600Km range!

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

Ukraine will be waiting for signals from the American delegation after its meetings in Russia. The U.S. delegation intends to brief us directly immediately after those meetings. The next steps will depend on those signals.

We will receive signals of one kind or another. If the signals work out in a certain way – if it is fair play with our partners – then we may meet with the American delegation very quickly. At what level – we will see, depending on the signals. If the signals open the possibility and the chance for global but swift decisions, then the meeting will take place at a higher level.

I am ready to receive all the signals and ready for a meeting with President Trump. Everything depends on today’s discussions.

Together with the leaders of Europe, Canada and Japan, we have declared our readiness to work on the 28-point plan despite some reservations. However, before we start our work, it would be good to know for sure who is the author of the plan and where was it created.

😵 Unitree G1 tried to “enter itself,” but instead repeatedly slammed into a mirror and collapsed under the shards

Whether it was a bug or digital existentialism, the result was the same: robot slapstick.

The machine uprising is postponed. For now, AI still can’t negotiate even with its own reflection.

‼️🇵🇱🇷🇺 “We know perfectly well that you don’t give a damn about international law and are fundamentally incapable of peaceful coexistence with your neighbors. Your radical nationalism is an uncontrollable thirst for domination — the most terrible form of chauvinism. This will not end until you realize and acknowledge that the age of empires is over and that your empire will never return! Every blow struck against you by Ukrainian soldiers — may God bless them — brings that day closer.” — Poland’s Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, addressing Russia’s representative at the UN Security Council.
