🗞️ Israel’s military is using an AI-powered targeting system to track and kill individuals in Lebanon, in a system that experts say cannot reliably discern between fighters and civilians, the Los Angeles Times reported this week.
The system pulls from phone metadata, facial recognition, drone surveillance, SIM card tracking, and social media, processed through platforms including Palantir’s Maven.
A senior Israeli military AI official told the Times the system generates target profiles in seconds, work that once took hundreds of analysts weeks.
Experts raised two distinct concerns:
🔹The first is false positives: the system identifies threats through behavioral patterns rather than direct evidence of combatant activity, meaning relatives, financiers, and administrators are routinely flagged because their communication patterns look similar to fighters.
🔹The second is that the system cannot reason, it only pattern-matches. If the data feeding it is flawed, it repeats the same lethal mistakes at scale, with no human stopping to question the output.
From 1966 to 2025 we dropped sterile flies over South America that ate screwworm and thus prevented them from spreading, but the le epic efficient cracked coders at DOGE thought this was a silly waste of the ~0 dollars it cost us.
Trump is trying to destroy AMOC research, ocean research, marine biology, fisheries science, hurricane research, weather research, climate research, ocean surveys and so much more with this fossil fuel lobby group led malicious attack. What a moron he is.
Kenya is another interesting energy transition story. Not because it followed western pathway, because it largely skipped it.
Most industrial economies evolved through:
Coal → Oil → Gas → Renewables
Kenya evolved through:
Hydro → Geothermal → Wind → Distributed Solar
That difference matters.
While many developing economies locked themselves into imported fossil fuels, Kenya steadily built one of Africa’s cleanest electricity systems around domestic renewables, particularly geothermal from the Great Rift Valley.
By 2025:
• Geothermal ~39%
• Hydro ~33%
• Wind ~13%
• Solar ~3%
• Fossil generation ~10%
• Renewables ~90%
And this transition wasn’t primarily driven by ideology.
It was driven by economics, energy security and system resilience.
Imported diesel was expensive.
Fuel volatility hurt the economy.
Geothermal was domestic.
Wind and solar kept getting cheaper.
So the system flipped.
Fossil generation steadily got squeezed while renewables became the backbone.
What makes Kenya especially interesting is that it may represent an early prototype for future African energy systems:
• Renewable-heavy
• Decentralised
• Modular
• Less dependent on massive fossil infrastructure
• Increasingly integrating distributed solar + storage
In many rural regions, rooftop solar and mini-grids are scaling faster than traditional centralized expansion ever could.
And that may be one of the biggest underappreciated global stories right now:
Developing economies may no longer follow the historical western industrial pathway.
Cheap renewables, batteries and decentralised systems are starting to change the sequence itself.
Kenya is one of the clearest real-world examples of that shift becoming visible.
SPACEX IS COMPLETE GARBAGE
Run, don't walk from this train wreck.
The numbers are right there in the S-1 filing for anyone willing to look.
SHAME ON YOU ELON MUSK
YOU BELONG IN JAIL
SHAME ON YOU @SECGov and @SECPaulSAtkins for allowing this to proceed.
SHAME ON YOU MORGAN STANLEY and TED PICK
SHAME ON YOU GOLDMAN SACHS and DAVID SOLOMON
SHAME ON YOU Bank of America, Deutsche Bank, UBS, Citigroup, JPMorgan, Mizuho, RBC, Macquarie, Wells Fargo, Allen & Co, Needham, Raymond James, Stifel, Cantor Fitzgerald, Soc Gen, Mirae, Santander, ING, and BTG Pactual.
Have you no shame? Have you no decency? Have you no honor?
Or is it all about the fees?
And the index providers are making it even WORSE.
Nasdaq changed its rules so SpaceX auto-qualifies for the Nasdaq-100 after just 15 days of trading triggering up to $60 BILLION in forced buying from ETFs alone. S&P Dow Jones Indices is now consulting on whether to fast-track S&P 500 inclusion for unprofitable mega-cap IPOs of this scale.
To Adena Friedman at Nasdaq and Catherine Clay at S&P Dow Jones Indices:
You are about to force every retirement account in America to become EXIT LIQUIDITY for the most overpriced IPO in history.
This is a legally sanctioned wealth transfer from Main Street to Wall Street. The public will be badly injured and EVERY ONE of you knows it.
You all belong in jail for this.
David Solomon and Ted Pick, grow a pair and do the right thing and stop this epic travesty.
How are you able to sleep
at night?
You and your firms are PATHETIC.
On Thursday last week, Germany's solar hit a new all-time generation record of 68.7 GW!
In 2026, solar has regularly been surpassing total system load.
Batteries are a necessary next step to smooth out peaks, shave off evening prices and avoid curtailment.
This is outrageous! Trump is removing a key monitoring network which, among other things, warns us of the weakening of the Gulf Stream which threatens Europe, and much of the world, with catastrophic consequences.

Key points ? - $EOSE started off perfecting an energy storage battery built by hand. That took many years. They have now transformed into complete Energy Project Solution with a true State of the Art Automated Production Line 2, that incorporates many design upgrades with input from Utility and Data Center Customers, nearing completion that can be “copy and paste” into future Lines. With this new foundation in place - EOS is now truly SCALABLE and satisfies real world Project needs from start to finish. I BELIEVE WE ARE NOW READY TO ROCK AMD ROLL. The game is now ours to lose - and we AIN’T losing !!! We now have a complete management team that is bigger than any one person. @JoeMastrangelo8 - thank you. 🙏.
We NEVER doubted you 🤣 - But MANY of us kept the faith and will be rewarded soon. 2026 is our All At Once year. LETS ROCK 🤘 GOD’s SPEED ! 🔋☮️🐕✅. ( wen line 3 😱)
Stock price controls so much. When $EOSE was trading <$2 most posters understood that there wasn't a LDES market and we were all just super early.
Guess what... there's still barely a LDES market and we're still super early. Wake us up in 2030.
🇺🇸🔋🇺🇸
Eos is partnering with DoE to extract carbon fiber from decommissioned wind turbines and spin it into battery felt, solving two massive infrastructure problems at once:
1. The Wind Industry's Landfill Crisis
2. A Closed-Loop Domestic Supply Chain
