Every single individual who has entered the West illegally should be deported. Every person who has entered legally and who is loyal to an ideology that is antithetical to the West’s foundational values should also be deported. This is a battle for the soul of humanity. Wake up. Grow a pair.

For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.

AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.

Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.

The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Fun Fact: Magnolia flowers are pollinated by beetles because the species is so ancient. They appeared on Earth before bees.

@TiinaKeskimki @HuuhtanenPanu Kyllä.

Rajaturvallisuus.
Poliisi.
Oikeuslaitos.
Koulutus.
Infra.
Pelastustoiminta ja perusterveydenhuolto.

Mitään muuta ei tarvitse julkisen sektorin tuottaa. Ja näitä fasilitoimaan minimaalinen hallinto.

Jensen Huang just explained why China is winning the technology race in two sentences.

Huang: “Our country’s leaders… they’re mostly lawyers. Most of their leaders are incredible engineers.”

One country sends engineers to lead. The other sends lawyers.

One builds. The other regulates what was already built.

Huang: “They showed up at precisely the time when technology is going through that exponential.”

China did not stumble into the AI era. They arrived engineered for it.

The education system produces engineers at a scale the West refuses to match. The competition is not tough. It is Darwinian.

The culture rewards builders.

Not commentators. Not consultants. Builders.

Then the accelerant. Open source.

When your talent pool runs that deep and that hungry, you do not hoard breakthroughs. You release them.

The community multiplies everything. What costs American companies a quarter, Chinese teams finish in weeks.

Not because they are smarter. Because the entire system points one direction. Zero friction between idea and execution.

No committee. No review board. No eighteen-month compliance process.

Then Huang said the part that should terrify Washington.

Huang: “Their country was built out of poverty.”

Comfort makes nations careful. Poverty makes nations relentless.

When you built everything from nothing, you do not slow down to protect it. You accelerate because you still taste what nothing felt like.

America built its dominance with engineers.

The highways. The moon landing. The semiconductor. The internet.

Then it handed the keys to the lawyers.

Compliance departments. Regulatory bodies. Oversight committees. Review processes for the review processes.

Every layer of protection is a layer of friction.

And friction is a luxury you cannot afford when your competitor rides an exponential curve.

Fridman: “It’s a builder nation.”

Huang: “Yeah, it’s a builder nation.”

No pushback. No qualifier.

The West is not being outspent. It is being out-structured.

Engineers ask how do we build this faster. Lawyers ask how do we build this without getting sued.

One of those questions wins the century. The other writes a detailed report about why it lost.

This is absolutely mind-bending. By locking the camera to a fixed point in the sky rather than the ground, this stunning timelapse perfectly visualizes Earth's rotation.🌍🌌

It really puts our movement through space into perspective.

For the first time since its launch 27 years ago, all eight docking ports on the International Space Station are occupied.

Two Russian Progress, a pair of Russian Soyuz, an American Cygnus, a Japanese HTV-X, and two of Elon Musk's Space X Dragons.

The European Commission just closed a 9 figure deal!

So proud of the innovative ways the EU finds to make money

This is the pinnacle of capitalism

A team at DeepMind wrote this piece on how you must think about GPUs. Essential for AI engineers and researchers:

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Do not use your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, to create, to learn, to think and to grow.

Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.

Instead of making them memorize the facts, schools should teach the students how to understand, think, doubt, and question.

They should be made open to imagination and creativity. 🧠
