Apparently Elon is really angry about this , so definitely do not post it all over social media

My take on AI is, essentially, everybody who’s against it is too against it and everybody who’s for it is too for it.

Grid Fees and Saturation: Germany's Battery Outlook - Modo Energy

Germany's battery storage market is booming - but a saturation crunch is coming, and most investors aren't ready for it. The question is which revenue streams hold up, and which collapse the way they did in GB, Texas, and Australia.

Google DeepMind just dropped DiffusionGemma — a free, open-weights model that writes text the way image models paint pixels.

Instead of predicting the next word at a time, it denoises a 256-word block in parallel. On a single H100, that's 1,000+ tokens/sec — roughly 4× faster than Gemma 4.

Positioned for speed-first work (code infill, real-time iteration), not a quality replacement for autoregressive Gemma.

Apache 2.0, weights on Hugging Face.

Preventing social media usage by the young is cool, but we should also do the same for the elderly. Basically only #GenX, #Millenials, and #GenZ should be allowed access. Particularly #AI content

China abruptly halts high-level EU tech talks as Beijing accelerates AI development, signaling deeper tech decoupling between the blocs. This cancellation underscores shifting power dynamics in global technology—and raises urgent questions about European strategic autonomy in an AI-driven world.

Psychobilly music is one of my guilty pleasures. I've heard the music for the first time in 1986 and since then loved standing basses, wild pogo's and smelly small venues. I'm a little too old for the pogo's nowadays and most of the venues are gone, but my collection is substantial. 🙂

I’ve shared this the other day, but I encourage you to read this all the way through because it provides a very distinct understanding as to why blind people love LLMs. For a disabled person like me, of course I use LLMs because every disability access technology I use has incorporated the use of these LLMs. That being said, I do not think the sociological, political, environmental, and intersectional harms should be ignored just to advance accessibility. I understand I am lucky in the sense that I have a vast network of virtual and in person humans to help me with a wide array of digital and in person tasks, but I care more about community than I do about technology. Do not mistake me for a technophobe.

OK, enough internet for today

> In short, Pump.fun has effectively put a price on humiliation, which feels like the logical conclusion for a society prone to falling for crypto scams and willing to bet money on the outcomes of deadly armed conflict. It’s the kind of development you’d expect from a dystopian sci-fi flick set in a world where inequality and moral decay have become ubiquitous

Okay. I FINISHED THE TRANSLATION. Fifty entire pages of modern Chinese philosophy about Western philosophy. It's nominally about "artificial intelligence" but in typical philosophical fashion, it's actually about, uh, colonialism, Catholicism, Van Gogh's weird fucked-up blood and thinking really hard about one specific random photograph of a street.

If you are curious about what is being taught right now in actual Chinese university classrooms about Western philosophy, you should read it. I highlighted several passages that are of particular interest to a Western reader who wants to understand how China sees itself and sees the West.
