OPEN WEIGHT MODELS ARE WINNING
Hours after they ousted Jensen, the Pirate Face community surpassed 30,000 seeders for the first time.
An all-time high of passionate, apostolic anons sharing open models' torrents peer-to-peer.
Each time control of AI concentrates into fewer hands, more people choose to keep a copy locally and seed it.

Inspired by this, I asked AI to setup the best LLM my new M5 Pro Mac mini can handle.
Now I have Qwen3.8-27B and Gemma 4 31B ready to run locally. They run at ~20 tok/s and use ~30 GB RAM.
It's not Fable, but now I have two local LLMs that I can use in case things go brrrr
I also have an offline copy of Wikipedia. Total disk usage is 100GB. I'd love to have Grokipedia but not easy to download.
I recommend you have your own offline AI + Wikipedia backup kit!

If you think this is just "oops leather jacket man got his dick wet with a Fang Fang" you are legitimately retarded.
The spook agencies sit on this kind of kompromat until they need to pull the trigger. Huang has been dragging his feet on the export controls and trying to keep the China market open through Singapore backdoors because he's a merchant first and doesn't give a fuck about the State Department's pivot. The deep state wants total decoupling or at least direct DoD/intel oversight over the compute stack. You can't nationalize Nvidia outright without crashing the market, so you burn the founder-CEO with an MSS honeypot op you probably watched happen in real time on NSA servers, tank the stock $400B so BlackRock and friends can buy the dip, and install a compliant spook-approved managerial suite via Wachtell.
Look at what happened to TikTok, look at how they forced Intel into a quasi-state ward. Nvidia is the single most critical bottleneck for the surveillance/drone state. They were never going to let an independent founder keep running it like his personal fiefdom once AI hit the national security threshold.
He's cooked. Enjoy your new CIA-vetted CEO.
This Jensen Huang/Nvidia scandal is quite bizarre. The most dominant CEOs of the world's most powerful corporations rarely fall, let alone as easily and rapidly as this seems to be happeing. He's on the brink of being ousted with remarkable velocity and vanishingly little evidence.
Over what? If "mere" extramarital affairs were sufficient for ouster, how many top CEOs would be left? Not many. Hence the need for the sinister CCP/spying angle. But is there any tangible evidence at all that Alice Huang is an asset or spy for the Chinese government? Anything beyond anonymous vague US intelligence suspicions being mindlessly, dutifully recited (as always) by US corporate media?
The always smart and insightful @RnaudBertrand is required reading here, at least for the questions he raises:👇

We’ve been really happy to see how positive the feedback on our YouTube videos has been!
We actually spent quite a long time debating whether starting a YouTube channel was a good idea, and now we almost wish we had started earlier. There are so many places, especially in Alabama and the South, where we would have loved to film some videos.
Luckily, we still have quite a few videos from our trip that we haven’t edited yet and will be uploading over the next few weeks!
Tomorrow, we’ll upload our video from Fredericksburg, Texas, followed by one from the Million Dollar Highway in Colorado.
And probably the one we’re most excited about: During the last month of our trip, we filmed and rated every American fast-food chain we visited. We’re putting it all together into one big ranking, from our favorite to our least favorite!
So if you haven’t checked out our YouTube channel yet, feel free to subscribe! We’ve genuinely had a lot of fun making these videos and already have some exciting ideas for the future.
Thanks again to everyone who’s been watching and supporting us! :)

The Kirk Cousins signing was a master stroke by Raiders GM John Spytek:
The Raiders paid Cousins a total of $650,000
They got:
- 9 games of rock solid QB play
- 6+ months for #1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to learn the system and be mentored by Cousins
- A 2027 3rd round pick

Caleb Pressley got a grown man to call himself stupid on camera with a rhyme from second grade recess, and the guy never even noticed he did it.
You know the rhyme. Girls go to college to get more knowledge, boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider. Pretty much every kid in America yelled it at somebody.
Caleb only said the first half. He turned it into a question for Bob Does Sports, asking where he went while the girls were off getting knowledge, and Bob answered it like a normal interview question. Flunked out of college, moved to Florida. Caleb kept a straight face and asked where in Florida.
"Jupiter."
That's the whole joke, and the punchline only happens inside your head. Hear "Jupiter" and your brain finishes the line on its own, since it's been parked in there since you were seven. Bob's the one guy in the room it doesn't happen to.
The reason it lands so clean comes down to how Americans say the letter T. When a T sits between two vowels, we barely touch it. It turns into a quick little tap that sounds exactly like a D, which is why "writer" and "rider" sound the same out of an American mouth, and "metal" and "medal" too. Linguists call it flapping. So we say Jupiter like "Joopider," and it rhymes perfectly with stupider. A Brit keeps that T sharp, and the rhyme comes out a little crooked.
Then there's the town itself, which only got its name because somebody misread a map. Spanish explorers wrote down the name of the Hobe people, who lived where the Loxahatchee River meets the ocean, as "Jobe." A mapmaker read that as "Jove," the Latin root for the Roman god, and later maps just went ahead and called it Jupiter. The town next door named itself Juno Beach after his wife.
And for a golf YouTuber, Bob couldn't have picked a better place to flunk out to. Jupiter is basically the capital of pro golf. Rory McIlroy lives there, along with more than 30 active PGA Tour players, and a big reason is that Florida has no state income tax while California takes up to 13.3%. Kind of hilarious that a rhyme about dumb boys picked the one town where a bunch of the best-paid athletes on earth go to hang onto more of their money.
