I have been saying this for a while.

It was only a matter of time until someone started running the much cheaper Chinese models on US-based infrastructure.

Until now, you could still argue:
"Who wants to send sensitive data to a Chinese provider?"
Healthcare, defense, government, finance - for many of them this was basically a no-go.

But if the same model runs on US-hosted hardware, with a US-based inference provider, many of those objections get weaker.

And then it gets interesting.
What happens when investors realize that maybe 50-70% of enterprise AI use cases don't need OpenAI or Anthropic at all?

Maybe they run fine on:
- cheaper hosted models
- open-weight models
- local models
- or some future box of GPUs nobody had on their bingo card

The big frontier models may still be needed for the hard stuff.
But if only 10-20% of workloads really need them, the ROI story looks very different.
That is where the card house starts to shake a bit.

NEW @citizenlab report

We uncover two sophisticated telecom surveillance campaigns. The findings expose how surveillance vendors exploit the global telecom ecosystem to conduct covert location tracking operations that can persist undetected for years.

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.

I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.

It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.

May God bless America.

[Mohamed ElBaradei @ElBaradei]

After all is said and done this #US and #Israel aggression on #Iran is a rogue and “fact free” war of choice in clear violation of international law. There is no right to self defense or even an imminent threat of any kind to justify the use of force.

This war will normalize current and future illegal use of force everywhere and will strike a heavy blow to the current fragile and unequal non proliferation regime.

The reaction of those who claim to support a rule based order blatantly unmask their hypocrisy and double standards.

This war will lead to more deaths, destruction and instability in the region and will continue to have a further detrimental impact on global peace and security.

Ah, there it is: ELF executable that references the Anthropic magic strings to prevent analysis by LLM-based agents.

🔴 BBC Verify examined before-and-after footage showing Israel carrying out systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure across Gaza—with the IDF demolishing homes, hospitals, schools, and entire neighborhoods in at least 40 locations since breaking the ceasefire in March.

“The expectation that Hamas may return to a neighborhood does not meet the imperative of ‘military necessity,” a legal expert warned.

Since Israel resumed its terror bombing of Gaza on March 18, every day we see images of small children with their heads or limbs blown off by U.S. weapons. Doctors having to cut holiday clothes off of children in a desperate attempt to save them. Amputations without anesthesia.

If you didn't speak out against *both* woke censorship and Trump's attempts to suppress criticism of Israel at universities, you're not a genuine free speech advocate. You're just a partisan hack who pretends to care about free speech when it suits you.

Generosity is an anti-depressant.

Depressed people were randomly assigned to give less than a penny a day to charity. Over the next 2 months, moods improved and depression declined. The more they gave, the better they felt.

Even small acts of kindness elevate mental health.

As information comes in about the exploding beepers in Lebanon, it seems now more likely than not to be implanted explosives, not a hack. Why? Too many consistent, very serious injuries. If it were overheated batteries exploding, you'd expect many more small fires & misfires.

[Kenneth Roth @KenRoth]

Even if Israel ignores the International Court of Justice ruling on its endless occupation, law-abiding governments should not. The court said they are obligated not to “render aid or assistance in maintaining” Israel’s presence in the occupied territory. https://t.co/2apB9BCi26

OpenAI introducing GPT-4o. A new model which can reason across text, audio, and video in real time.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

Remember when we were told children were being killed in Gaza because Hamas was using them as human shields? Now we know the real reason. When Israel wanted to kill someone, they waited till he went home, then dropped a bomb on the building, killing the whole family.
