Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, heโs always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO
So Vance can say no to the 7 conditions in person again instead of over email? If he is not going to say yes to basically every demand this is just more charadesโฆ
Something I haven't heard people talk about is how AI can help one re-skill faster and in a way that's much more dynamic than anything we've seen before.
People don't need to wait for a government retraining program to help them reinvent themselves, but they do need tokens.
If you are buying because dealers have to and selling because CTAs have to while pretending to look at fundamentals and narratives you will be perpetually confused and frustrated.

The hybrid war in Europe continues to escalate, today, there were over 7.000 new bomb threats targeting schools in Italy, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
In Italy alone, more than 6.000 schools, approximately 85% of all state-run schools, received the email signed by "Mikhail Andropov."
Of these, 312 were evacuated, with the Carabinieri and bomb squads arriving on-site to conduct the necessary checks, however, no actual bombs were found at any of the schools.
The situation is deteriorating rapidly, to the point where these incidents are becoming a weekly occurrence, not just in Italy, but across all of Europe.
It has not yet been confirmed whether a single actor is behind the wave of hybrid attacks experienced by European countries over the last month, but Russia remains the primary suspect.
IRAN REJECTS US RESPONSES AS PEACE TALKS REMAIN DEADLOCKED
Senior Iranian official Rezaei says Washington has failed to meet Tehran's seven conditions, signaling no breakthrough in negotiations.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, Rezaei accused the US of providing deceptive responses and demanded a clear, explicit answer to Iran's conditions.
He said messages received through Iraq, the UAE and other intermediaries also failed to meet Tehran's demands.
Rezaei further claimed Trump and Netanyahu lack the political capacity to continue the war.
Iran's rhetoric remains hardline, with no indication of progress toward a diplomatic settlement.
Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick was sent a classified memo warning about Nvidia CEO Jensen Huangโs relationship with Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence officials believe is a Chinese spy, multiple sources told Axios. Commerce did not comment, and it is unclear whether Lutnick read it. The New York Times reported that Secretary of State Marco Rubio oversaw the memo, which circulated before Trumpโs May 2026 trip to China.
The Times also reported that Rubio warned Trump aboard Air Force One before a stop in Anchorage, where Huang joined the delegation. Trump said Monday he did not recall seeing the intelligence saying โCertainly, it didnโt make much of an impact on me.โ
Reuters reported on May 14 that Commerce cleared about 10 Chinese companies to buy Nvidiaโs H200 chips, though Axios says some approvals predated the warning. Lawmakers want Huang to give closed door testimony next week.
Reuters: A Chinese university with โdeep ties to the People's Liberation Army bought Nvidia's powerful H200 AI chips last month despite being on a US export blacklist, procurement records show, highlighting gaps in Washington's efforts to curb China's access to advanced โtechnology.
GPUs are melting. On-demand B200 index rose 1.9% to a new high of $6.97 on Nov 10 and H100 1.7% to a new high of $3.06; B300 ($7.68), H200 ($3.48) and A100 ($1.59) were unchanged, but hovered near ATHs and poised to follow. Recent price surges point to a clear demand inflection.
