It’s even worse! SpaceX includes XAi and XTwitter: cash burning nonsense. The only good thing about SpaceX is Starlink.

I’m a huge fan of the Fediverse, but the barriers are so incredibly high that it’s unlikely a large number of people - let alone a majority - will find their way here.

Don’t forget his real name: TACO. 🤡

Climate change brings hotter temperatures, drier vegetation and longer heatwaves that turn fires that might have been manageable into disasters that overwhelm entire regions. Europe needs to stop treating these as exceptional summers. They’re becoming the new baseline.

Isn’t he just talking to bots there anyway, who can’t buy shares?

Apparently long enough for a Finnish town. The technologies aren’t really competitors: They’re complementary technologies for different jobs.

Exactly. That’s what makes it so compelling. No scarce minerals, no exotic chemistry, no billion Euro manufacturing plants. Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest ones.

The »kill switch« debate exists because the US proved it could flip one: Even if the restriction was temporary, it reminded governments and businesses that access to critical AI can depend on political decisions made in Washington. That’s exactly why digital sovereignty, OWAI for AI sovereignty in particular, has gone from a niche concern to a strategic priority.

A giant thermal battery storing heat instead of electricity is exactly the kind of engineering we need more of. It won’t replace lithium batteries or solve every energy problem, but district heating is a huge source of emissions in cold countries. Sometimes the smartest climate tech isn’t flashy AI: it’s hot rocks and good physics. 💪😎✌️

Perfect shouldn’t become the enemy of better. Open Weight AI isn’t Open Source AI, but it’s a huge improvement over Closed AI where you get neither the weights nor the training pipeline.

The irony is that platforms spent years making anonymity optional, then built engagement systems that rewarded the worst actors anyway. Now the proposed fix is more identity, more biometric data and more addictive UX.

Ultimately, everyone, because associations, clubs and small towns are mainly or exclusively active on Facebook: anyone who wants to take part will still have to use Facebook. 🤷

They didn’t short rockets: They shorted Elon Musk’s promise machine. For years he’s sold investors a never ending stream of revolutionary breakthroughs that were always just around the corner. Eventually reality catches up. Even the world’s best engineers can’t justify a valuation built on perpetual hype instead of consistently delivered results.

Wall Street spent years pricing Tesla like a future AI empire instead of a car company. Now investors are getting a reminder that robotaxis, humanoids and promises don’t magically pay today’s bills. Reality has an annoying habit of showing up right after earnings season.

More and fresh is better.

Zuck seems to be trying to boost his data for the facial recognition feature on Meta glasses. 🙈

OpenAI is a good reminder that mission statements and business incentives don’t always stay aligned. That said, I’d judge DeepSeek less by the rhetoric and more by what they actually release. Hype is cheap: open weights, reproducible results and useful tools are much harder to fake.

This. The frontier race is about building the smartest generalist, but most companies don’t need that. They need a specialist tuned to their workflows. Narrower scope means smaller models, lower costs, faster inference and often better results. General models become the foundation, not the finished product. It’s still all to play for! 💪😎✌️

That’s either incredibly idealistic or a very smart strategy: Open models grow ecosystems faster than walled gardens, but compute still decides who gets to play at the highest level. If AGI really becomes shared infrastructure, the moat shifts from models to chips, data and execution.
