Data centers. Cartoon for Dutch newspaper @trouw.nl. #datacenter #BigTech #ArtificialIntelligence
Cartoon showing a dystopian scene with a landscape taken up mostly by giant data centers. In the foreground, numerous people sit around scattered campfires amid rubble and ruins of collapsed buildings, looking at their smartphones. A tall cell phone tower with multiple antennas stands prominently in the middle ground. A dome-shaped tracked robot with red glowing sensors is demolishing nature and houses, while a crane labeled 'Big Tech' is putting together a new data center.

Zacharia was the most competent person they could find who is willing to be the public face of the administration at this point. Think about that for a minute.

This WSJ investigation exposes yet more Tether-related corruption at the White House, revealing that they paid Bo Hines' consulting firm millions as he was ensuring the Genius Act stablecoin law would benefit them. I needed a diagram.
Diagram showing how former White House crypto council officials Bo Hines and Harry Jung connect to the consulting firm NXUM, Tether and Tether US, the Fellowship PAC, Cantor Fitzgerald, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, including payments of $6.3M+ from Tether and $6.5M+ from the PAC to NXUM, and a loan from Tether to Lutnick.

Last year, Trump and 98% of elected GOP enacted the biggest Medicaid cuts in history, bigger even than Reagan's Medicaid cuts. By 2034, 7.5 million people will lose their Medicaid because of the cuts. Clinics are already closing and hospitals are already cutting services, citing OBBBA as a reason.
medicaid cuts from obbba grow to 16% by 2034

Of course Katie Zacharia was once part of a multi-level-marketing program for "Beachbody," a fitness company with a history of colorful legal woes. She described the program to us as "sort of a pyramid scheme." Scoop from @timmarchman.bsky.social & I www.wired.com/story/white-...

Trump's newly installed press secretary tells WIRED that in the early 2010s, she promoted a product for a company then called Beachbody, which she described as “sort of a pyramid scheme.”

I can run qwen 27B, an open weight model, on my desktop with my 4090 and it is more advanced than the state of the art models a year ago. We could see a similar jump in open weight models in a year and the uncensored versions will be about as good at hacking and illicit actions.
