What do the OEMs have to say about this? A lot of them, including Samsung, have their own app stores. Surely they'd not be willing to cede control?

It will be unambiguously clear to history (maybe even in a decade) that SCOTUS's decision in TikTok, Inc. v. Garland was the worst ever since Korematsu.

This is interesting data but is not really a useful estimate of search engine market share in 2025.

Never take government money. RIP Intel.

In this case, compromise is equivalent to surrender

This could be repurposed for really good stylistic search for music (similar to how CLIP powered stylistic search for images on same.energy)

There is absolutely zero risk as long as you stay out of the UK. Even if you do travel to the UK, there is no practical risk for the foreseeable future.

The most disturbing thing about this saga is that websites that have no physical/legal/business presence in the UK are proactively geoblocking UK-origin IPs.

Censorious governments have always been a thing since the beginning of the internet. Websites (especially non-corporate ones like 4chan or R34) preemptively surrendering to a foreign government that has no jurisdiction over them is what's new.

Groq appears to have quantized the Kimi K2 model they're serving, which is part of the reason why there's a noticeable performance gap between K2 on Moonshot's official API and the one served by Groq.

We don't know how/whether the Qwen3-235B served by Cerebras has been quantized.

Quantization?

A mainstream gold-backed stablecoin is inevitable IMO. That's way more interesting/resilient than any fiat-backed stablecoin.

IMO, VideoMimic is a better proof-of-concept

Uber and Lyft rely on network effects, which do not exist in any meaningful sense for LLM API providers.

Models with native video understanding would do the trick - Advanced Voice Mode on the ChatGPT iOS/Android app lets you use your camera, works pretty well; there's also https://aistudio.google.com/live (AFAIK there are no open-source models with similar capabilities)

I’ve long believed that for a private company to remain independent, it must never solicit business from the government and/or state-owned entities - recent events make it viscerally clear

At this point, it would be easier to stick to in-person assignments.

>This meant there was inelastic demand for U.S. treasuries, which basically made it impossible for the U.S. to not run a deficit, either in terms of trade or the federal budget.

Ease of borrowing does not force a government to run a deficit, which is entirely a political choice.

"Taejun Shin was born and raised in Japan as the son of Korean immigrants who became stateless around the time of Japan's surrender in WWII. He found himself in the difficult position of being a stateless entrepreneur but ultimately founded Gojo & Company – a non-profit focused on promoting global financial inclusion."

This is literally a tax.

Here's a nice quote from the former (2019-2023) UK Defense Secretary: "well for one the people who love encryption most are pedophiles." https://x.com/BenWallace70/status/1892972120818299199

>Privacy rights advocacy group Noyb is supporting an individual in Norway who was horrified to find ChatGPT returning made-up information that claimed he’d been convicted for murdering two of his children and attempting to kill the third.

What does Noyb hope to achieve with such lawsuits? The result of victory here would just be yet another vector for regulators to increase control over and/or impose censorship on LLM creators, as well as creating sources of "liability" for open source AI developers, which would be terrible for actual privacy.

Interestingly, there is no mention whatsoever of either "Durov" or "Telegram" on the Noyb website, even though the arrest of Durov is the biggest ongoing threat to privacy in the EU, especially as three of the charges against him are explicitly for providing "cryptology" tools/services: https://www.tribunal-de-paris.justice.fr/sites/default/files...

They also got a €5.5M fine imposed on WhatsApp, which is pretty perverse given that WhatsApp is the only major mainstream platform that has implemented true E2E encryption: https://noyb.eu/en/just-eu-55-million-whatsapp-dpc-finally-g...

IMO these are not the actions you would take if you were serious about protecting the right to privacy

>Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s vice president of global affairs, said in an interview that the US AI Safety Institute – a key government group focused on AI – could act as the main point of contact between the federal government and the private sector. If companies work with the group voluntarily to review models, the government could provide them “with liability protections including preemption from state based regulations that focus on frontier model security,” according to the proposal.

Given OpenAI's history and relationship with the "AI safety" movement, I wouldn't be surprised to find out later that they also lobbied for the same proposed state-level regulations they're seeking relief from.

The markets on Polymarket for Xi and Putin's successors are going to be 100x bigger in terms of both market size and as a topic of conversation.

This is literally nothing - visualizing an org chart using D3 (a JS dataviz library), playing around with open source geospatial datasets, and a Twitter DM downloader for personal use.
