If this comes as a surprise to you, I've told you this 20 times.
The rest of Donetsk is NOT the peace deal.
It's the starting point for russian demands. Those demands (accept or we go back to war) will include demands from the EU and NATO.
Plus russian immunity for war crimes.
🚨 Putin plans to use Ukraine peace talks to push NATO back to its 1997 military posture
According to The Telegraph, the Kremlin wants to force NATO to scale back its military presence in Europe to levels seen before Eastern European countries joined the Alliance.
This could mean demanding the withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, the Baltic states, and Finland.
That is why Moscow is pushing for European countries to participate in negotiations over Ukraine. Diplomatic sources cited by The Telegraph say Putin wants to turn talks about ending the war into negotiations over the entire European security architecture.
The issue may also have been discussed during Putin's three-hour meeting with Trump's special envoy, Steve Witkoff, in St. Petersburg.
However, European countries have previously rejected the Kremlin's demands to reduce NATO's military presence on its eastern flank.
This is what Trump is truly afraid of. He wants Canada (Alberta) as a resource colony.
Canadian heavy crude is fetching near-record premiums across the Pacific, bolstering the case for the country’s plan to build a new pipeline to its west coast.
A barrel of Canadian Cold Lake crude delivered to South Korea traded at a record $9.50 a barrel more than the Dubai crude benchmark in September.
It’s a stark contrast to the weakening price Canadian oil is getting in the US, its biggest market. Oil sands benchmark Western Canadian Select’s discount, called a differential, to a monthly average of West Texas Intermediate futures widened to as much as $28.25 a barrel in Alberta last week, the biggest in almost four years.

I have never hear of companies giving 30-40% discounts on products in extreme shortage. Remember this is on top of token prices falling ~50% in the last few months. There is no compute shortage, only a giant glut of highly subsidized compute.
OpenAI’s enterprise discounting is moving real coding workloads and that's super important for closed lab P&Ls.
Per The Information, Rippling’s coding mix shifted from 57% Anthropic / 16% OpenAI in May to 18% / 52%. Replit moved most of its AI spending to OpenAI after receiving a discount above 30%.
DataCamp was offered 40% off and estimates 80–90% savings if it extends the deal to models powering its customer-facing product.
What's becoming clear is that once models clear a customer’s quality threshold (Opus5.5/Astra 6/Sol 6.1, are super capable), lower prices can move usage quickly (and open weight continues to cannibalize any advantage quickly). OpenAI is using discounts to win that usage share and become the default provider.
Those economics depend on how quickly serving costs fall. Illustratively, with an 80% starting contribution margin and unchanged unit costs, a 50% price cut requires 2.7x the volume to preserve contribution profit.

This is exactly why the sanctions and continuing refinery strikes are the only ways to actually bring Putin to the negotiating table on our terms. Now, he is demanding nonsense that will never happen.

“Without human authorization” is pretty convenient for the humans at Anthropic to deflect accountability for the felony crimes their IP keeps committing.

Is it greedy of Rogers? Yes, this seems to have been their “solution” to not getting someone else like Bell to take on some games.
But the NHL is a private for-profit entertainment enterprise. It’s not some public good just because it use to be on CBC.
Tomorrow, @rogers, will restrict viewing of three Canadian teams unless you pay them their devil's ransom of $12.99+ HST per month for Sportsnet+. Don't have regular Sportsnet through your cable? Then it's $34.99+ HST per month. Deregulate the telecoms now! This is rank thievery.

We already knew there is not enough power to plug in enormous quantities of GPUs collecting dust in warehouses but this admission from the SpaceX CFO implies that EVEN WHERE THERE IS POWER and the GPUs are ALREADY INSTALLED, they are STILL not flipping the on switch.
Why? Because there is ALSO a giant compute glut within already energized compute and they wont be able to cover depreciation expense once they flip the on switch. The chips are depreciating either way but not flipping them on keep up the accounting illusion of smaller losses. Withholding hoarded compute also helps to not exacerbate downward pricing pressure.
SpaceX CFO panicked on the earnings call
‘We installed them in the racks but we haven’t turned them on yet and there’s a very important reason why a CFO would jump in and cover their butt, because the second you turn on those GPUs you have to start depreciating them; you have to start booking the loss of the capital that you spent to buy them’
‘If they are not turned on yet you don’t have to encor that depreciation expense and if you take that exchange and the gigawatts and the CFO, that’s why our earnings are so great because we’re not depreciating all these assets’
‘They are just buying these things, buying them in thousands and they are just putting them on shelves; they aren’t even installing them, they can’t install them because they can’t get the data center built’

This only confirms that Russia has not changed its ultimate strategic objective: the destruction of NATO.

Yes! I mean imagine the President called the person who oversees the vote in a given state and asked him to “find the votes” that would reverse the result and put him over the top.
Just inconceivable in these United States!

ai leaders just get in front of a camera everyday and go "yo this shit fucking sucks everybody hates it it is going to kill us all it will destroy everything it does nothing worth anything it has to be stopped and that's why I will continue to build it"
Dario Amodei: AI may be uniquely well suited to autocracy and deepening repression.
“We already see it in the kind of surveillance state possible with today’s technology.”
“AI can make individualized propaganda and break into computer systems.”
“It could surveil everyone in a population, detect dissent everywhere and suppress it.”
“You could have a huge army of drones that could go after each individual person.”
“It’s really scary, and we have to stop it.”

Too many in the West don't understand the *actual* root cause of this war:
Russia fundamentally believes it is their God given right to rule over Eastern Europe & its people.
It's not that complicated.

FT comments never miss.
I don’t think I’ve read such a rational analysis of the situation we’re in for a long time.
I've been in France since 2002 and have never seen the streets so violent nor the politics so extreme. From the sacking of the supermarket on my street to the prospect of Présidente Le Pen, here's me @FT including thoughts from 2 French Nobel laureates as.ft.com/r/addcad57-0f9d-4e…
