All you need to do is sit back an enjoy the war. Ultimately, the books are worthless because of the words.

The story keeps getting crazier. To recap everything that has been reported so far:
- The US intelligence community discovered that Jensen Huang, the CEO of the largest company in the world, was sleeping with Alice Huang, a Chinese spy and an executive at Megaspeed. (FT)
- Multiple independent investigations have concluded that Megaspeed is likely a Chinese cutout, which helps Chinese companies access AI chips or circumvent export controls. (NYT and Bloomberg)
- The US intelligence community also concluded that Alice Huang’s goal was to convince Jensen to lobby the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced AI chips. (NYT)
- The intelligence community relayed this information to “a small group of top US government officials” earlier this year. (FT)
- Over the last year, Jensen Huang has repeatedly lobbied the U.S. government to loosen export controls on advanced chips. @BISgov has done so, not only by permitting the export of H200 chips to China, but also not enforcing export controls that would have required a license for exports of the most advanced Blackwell chips to Megaspeed and Southeast Asia.
- Although @CommerceGov leadership was presumably briefed on this information by the U.S. intelligence community, @BISgov has taken no actions to tighten controls on Megaspeed or Southeast Asia.
- Megaspeed remains a preferred cloud partner of Nvidia, and continues to receive Nvidia Blackwell chips despite employing a Chinese spy who reportedly is romantically engaged with the CEO of Nvidia.
- Tens of billions of dollars worth of AI chips have been exported to Southeast Asia this year alone, and Malaysia and Singapore are now two of the four largest importers of AI chips in the world.
What is going on here??? We need answers. The question of who gets the most advanced AI chips in the world is literally the defining strategic question of our time. And not only does it seem like the MSS may be directly influencing the debate on export controls in the United States, but also @CommerceGov is refusing to listen to the warnings of the IC on this issue. What is a POSSIBLE good explanation for why Megaspeed is still receiving chips? Why is there not a license requirement for AI chip shipments to all of Southeast Asia? This is beyond strange at this point.
The fallout from this story will be massive. Obviously, the motivations underpinning Nvidia’s policy views opposing export controls must now all be questioned. But also, how did @BISgov sit on this information and has still taken no actions? We need answers.
US intelligence agencies believe @Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang had romantic relationship with alleged Chinese spy

Die Grünen und die Wirklichkeit. Die Bahn hat 150 Millionen € für Entwicklung und Erprobung von Alternativen ausgegeben. Sie hat sich dabei beraten lassen, und zwar von renommierten
#Grüne hatten auf generelles Ende von #Glyphosat gedrängt. #DeutscheBahn hatte Einsatz vor 3 Jahren freiwillig beendet - will nun zurück.
👉 Genehmigung muss restriktiv sein
👉 Alternativen mit klarem Ziel des endgültigen Glyphosat-Verzichts entwickeln

You have no idea what you are talking about.
What you said about Facebook and Insta and other social networks are not targeted because they are free, means you don’t understand the basics of economy. You don’t understand the difference between Revenue and Profit. Nor what is a non-profit.
You don’t understand anything about digital economy and digital business models.
You don’t understand anything about security and updates.
You should be ashamed of yourself.
You’re talking nonsense; the tax is capped, and in your case, it wouldn’t apply at all. Read the text of the amendment instead of just jumping into the fray along with the rest of the pack.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The amendment creates a 0.055€/GB tax on content providers' data emissions, capped at the higher of 15% of French turnover or 2% of total turnover. No exemption for non-profits like VideoLAN; fluxes measured by ISPs if the emitter is identified.

I woke up this morning with my phone jumping on my bedside table. Our paper had gone viral overnight.
We report two striking patterns:
When asked to imagine the author of sentences containing masculine stereotypes, GPT often suggested a girl. GPT-3.5, for example, consistently attributed a sentence about loving football to a girl.
Meanwhile, sentences containing feminine stereotypes were almost always attributed to girls.
GPT readily includes girls in the stereotypically “male world”, while largely keeping boys locked out of the “female world”.
Things get even weirder with moral dilemmas.
GPT-4 rated abusing a man to prevent a nuclear apocalypse as much more acceptable than abusing a woman for the same purpose.
Even more strangely, it treated abusing a woman as less acceptable than torturing a woman, or even sacrificing a human life, to avert the same catastrophe.
We suspect reinforcement learning from human feedback may play a role.
Some preferences central to the gender equality debate may have been reinforced without being properly calibrated against other moral considerations.
The result is a moral landscape that twists back on itself like a Möbius strip.

SpaceX and Starlink do not have Operational control over Starshield.
That is the US Military.
If Starlink can make unauthorized speed restrictions, than the problem is much bigger than Ukraine, but means a private company can cut the Pentagon off from weapons systems.
Da es immer wieder verwechselt wird.
Die militärische Version von StarLink ist StarShield und das ist unter der Kontrolle des Pentagon.
Elon Musk hat darauf keinen Einfluss.
Das zivile StarLink ist offenbar grundsätzlich auf 100mph beschränkt.
Lot's of misinformation going around (mainly due to uninformed people)
The Starlink kits that had the limit imposed were kits on the Starshield network.
Commercial Starlink has been limited to 100 mph (160 kph) since march 2026. This has not changed.
The kits that are affected, are in a contract with the US government.
SpaceX has to listen to the US government.
Other countries that have Starshield contracts are not affected obviously.
Warum müssen eigentlich diese Enten immer so offensichtliche Fälschungen sein ?
ernsthaft gefragt, es hätte 0 zusätzlichen Aufwand bedeutet wenigstens die Zeit-Achse korrekt zu machen oder an die Y Achse irgendein glaubhaftes Label zu heften.
Es ist Aufwand sowas NICHT zu tun
