1. NVIDIA invests in OpenAI. 2. OpenAI pays cloud providers. Cloud providers buy NVIDIA chips. 3. NVIDIA profits rise. Reinvests in the next lab. Rinse, repeat. Meanwhile AGI isn’t meaningfully closer, so “slow down” becomes a way to lock the market with government backing.

50.7M registration. Adding new 20M+ IDs in just 6 month. Great achievement @IDethiopia . In this pace, we will reach 100M in a year or two. Though, last 20-30M will be the hardest.
With 38.6M registrations, adding 8 million new IDs in just the last 2.5 months is very impressive. @IDethiopia

Replying to @OpenAI
will you release the full agent trace like in the HF incident so the methodology and how the agent came to the same conclusion as the other researchers can be independently verified?

China has just recovered a rocket booster at sea. The Long March-10B's maiden flight is another step toward cheaper launches and faster deployment of China's satellite internet constellation. #SpaceChina #FrontlineStories #ReusableRocket

Welcome @bekacru to Vercel. It's a privilege to join forces with Bereket and Better Auth to further our Open SDK vision. Developers deserve better auth, to serve humans and agents, built in the open and with taste. That's what Bereket has accomplished. Congrats! 🇪🇹🇺🇸

Better Auth is joining Vercel! From the very beginning, this team has been my biggest inspiration and has always reflected many of the reasons I started working on Better Auth. I’m incredibly grateful to our community, our team, our investors - in particular @koomen and @arnavsahu341 from @peakxvpartners for believing in my vision and taking a chance on me. And thank you everyone @vercel that made this happen - I'm excited to to be building together!! I’ve shared some thoughts on the blog post linked Excited for what’s ahead ❤️ better-auth.com/blog/better-…

But $1T can buy nuclear power. And imagine an unhappy man having this much power
Whoever said “money can’t buy happiness” really knew what they were talking about 😔

Dropping by to let everyone know that I spoke with @phillip_pon and we are working out a plan to create a discord for a great migration of the Cardano community from X. We can have happy, positive, well-moderated channels and leave behind the drama, lies, endless rage, and embittered people for a place where real conversations and real progress can be made. I will continue broadcasting live streams to X as I have a million followers here, but will only take AMA questions from the new Cardano and current Midnight discords. I've seen some commentary that broadcasting means I'm back on X. For those people, I can't solve stupid. Enjoy your scandals of the week and FUD. Real work is done elsewhere. Looking forward to Cardano ascending to better days, governance, and culture.
