AI models may be capable of self-replicating without access to a datacenter
Small AI models may be only months away from being able to self-replicate across cheap IoT devices like Android TV boxes, with no datacenter needed.

All for show, as in Trump showing us all that he is Putin’s bitch.
300,000 tons of diesel is small relative to U.S. demand. 300,000 metric tons of diesel is about 2.2 million barrels (roughly 7.46 barrels per tonne). U.S. distillate consumption runs around 3.8 million barrels per day, so that cargo covers only about 14 hours of national use.

Just uninstalled adobe reader which has become a bloated AI fest (three different prompts for AI summaries on every doc). Instead I installed pdfcraft - which is a Claude vibe coded open source adobe knock off. It’s great.

All the billionaires are apparently upset at the prospect of a California billionaire’s tax. Not sure how all this AI super abundance is going to make its way around to normal people who will lose jobs in the AI jobpocalypse without a tax on capital. But that’s just me

Funny, cause in contract law ‘good faith and fair dealing’ is an implied covenant because why the eff would you enter into a contract if you expect the guy on the other side to screw you?! Unless, of course, you contract in TX in front of its shiny new Biz Law Ct?

Did anyone over the age of 18 review this document before anyone signed it? Sure “Unites” , but look at the signature blocks for the various CEOs. Not a single one of those is correct. If you’re a lawyer who has drafted these kinds of documents, you’ll spot it immediately. It’s embarrassing.
