In 1985, the famous classical pianist Horatio Gutierrez dropped out of appearing on THE TONIGHT SHOW at the last minute, JOHNNY CARSON invited a member of the audience to take Gutierrez’s place.
Up stepped a guy called DAVID TOLLEY…
@DJSnM 🤷♂️I know it sounds crazy... If the leading edges of the tiles were hidden a little bit by the trailing edges, it would change everything. If the tiles were slightly tilted forward, like 3°, it might be enough. Not scales, but just ripples...@elonmusk
Open-source distillation of closed models isn’t theft. It’s the closed models finally paying rent on the public data they trained on. All of it was distilled from humanity to begin with.
I support open-source models distilling what commercial companies distilled for free from the entire internet. I published distillation for free in 1991 in Europe - this was copied in the US and in China (https://t.co/mddh8XmfAs)

Built to showcase what's possible with real-time WebGPU rendering using #threejs. Just a 6.3 MB download, yet the lighting looks baked—until you grab the sun and watch everything update in real time.
I hope you like it 🤗
This is how football should be visualized.
Spain vs. Argentina paints a clear picture
The graph shows real momentum, rendered in 3D, supported by data on goals, shots, xG and more.
Spain are world champions again,
Ferran Torres made sure of it.

I don’t think people realize how absurd this is. Scottish runner Josh Kerr just broke the mile world record in 3:42.66, an average speed of 16.2 mph. Most people couldn’t even briefly reach that speed, let alone sustain it for an entire mile.
Chinese factories are buying RTX 5090s in bulk, desoldering the chips, and rebuilding them as 128GB server cards. Roughly $4,000 each.
Same money as a DGX Spark. Same 128GB. Six times the bandwidth.
The reason this exists: export controls block Chinese labs from buying dedicated AI chips, so consumer gaming cards became the workaround. Rip the GPU and memory off the board, solder onto a custom server PCB, add a blower cooler so it fits a rack instead of a gaming case. Automated soldering lines, robotic arms. Started with the 5090, now spreading to the 5080, 5070 Ti, 5060 Ti.
NVIDIA gets paid either way. They just lost control of what happens after the sale.
Two things follow from this:
Gamers are the collateral. Consumer cards are being bought in volume and stripped for AI, which is part of why you can't get one at a sane price.
And the "$4,000 for 128GB" pitch that DGX and Strix Halo are built on now has a grey-market competitor with dramatically better bandwidth — assuming you can get one, trust the soldering, and live without support.
The most interesting AI hardware of 2026 isn't being announced at keynotes. It's being reflowed in a workshop.
few weeks ago, Fable 5 was so advanced it needed the gov and had to be taken offline.
today, we have access to arguably better models for $20/month.
took what? six weeks?
