@DAlperovitch Jensen’s only crime is telling the truth lmao. Total chip bans are stupid and self defeating. They hurt US profits and push China harder. Stop pretending business success equals national betrayal.

Incredible interview with Jensen. He blatantly admits that his jihad against export controls is simply all about Nvidia selling more chips worldwide, not about national security or winning the AI race against China (which he previously said doesn't even matter if we win)

@charleswangb Dwarkesh has this habit lately of bombarding guests with the same loaded questions over and over while barely letting them finish their thoughts... the interview would’ve been much better with actual back and forth instead of constant interruptions.

Couldn’t make beyond first few minutes…fragmented, shallow, frequent interruptions.

@60Minutes Cardinal Tobin calling ICE "lawless" is a serious accusation. Enforcing deportation of those here illegally protects American workers and communities. The Constitution also guarantees the right to secure borders

Cardinal Joseph Tobin criticizes the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. “When they have to hide their identities to terrify people, when they can actually violate other guarantees of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, well, I think somebody's got to call that out,” he says. cbsn.ws/3Q8MaOA

Congratulations on a successful Artemis II journey. Well done!

@dwarkesh_sp @dylan522p It’s hard to take your power discussions seriously anymore after watching this. The conversation stayed too surface-level and optimistic while ignoring real grid bottlenecks like multi-year transformer lead times and interconnection queues.

Every year someone names a new bottleneck for AI compute scaling. @dylan522p on why power isn't gonna be the big one over the next few years: fundamentally there's many different ways to generate power (rather than just one company that can produce the EUV tools needed for the chips themselves) and the supply chains are simpler and easier to ramp. You can do jet engines bolted to the ground. Ship engines. Diesel recips from auto manufacturers with declining volumes. Fuel cells. Each category alone delivers tens of gigawatts by end of decade. Combined, hundreds. Even if energy costs double, a GPU goes from $1.40/hr to $1.50/hr. Nobody notices a dime when the models are improving so fast the value dwarfs the cost. Even if you don't add more power, but simply add more batteries, you can unlock 20% more of the US's terawatt scale power grid. This is because grid utilities want to make sure they're sized for peak summer load that hits a few hours a year. With enough batteries, you can make this guarantee, even without turning on more power plants! Fundamentally, there's a lot of different ways to bring power online over the next few years. Building more logic and memory is far more difficult and centralized, so that's where Dylan thinks the bottleneck will be.

Iran’s Kharg Island is back in focus after the US conducted a second round of strikes on military assets but spared the oil infrastructure. Here’s what to know about the key crude export hub. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

That sense of wonder you felt when watching Artemis II? You’re not alone. @LisaMJarvis says the mission shows the value of publicly funded science at a time when research is under threat (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Trump: If I had my choice, what would I like to do? Take the oil, because it's there for the taking. Unfortunately, the American people would like to see us come home. If it were up to me, I'd take the oil.

It's concerning how differently major networks prioritize the same day's news. Important political developments get buried on some channels while others lead with sports stories. Media balance matters more than ever

When MAGA chanted “Drain the Swamp,” I’m not sure this is the drain they were hoping for?

@ChinaSelect $170 million smuggling ring busted. Thanks to the US chip ban, China now has both a black market and stronger motivation to make their own AI chips. Well done.

Three individuals have been charged in a scheme to smuggle export-controlled AI chips to China. According to DOJ, the group attempted to acquire ~750 servers worth $170M, 600 containing restricted, by routing them through Thailand. This case underscores ongoing efforts to bypass U.S. export controls and highlights the national security risks tied to advanced semiconductor diversion. The bipartisan Chip Security Act would require location verification and reporting to help prevent these transfers. cbsnews.com/atlanta/news/a…

@FBI @FBIAtlanta the ban started in 2022 to protect advanced AI technology. But people still smuggle the chips with fake documents. It creates a black market and makes China work harder to develop their own chips.

@AsiaLens If we want America First, do not ban H200 completely. Let $NVDA sell with strict rules. America gets billions in revenue and taxes. China still stays behind because stronger chips stay banned.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's just wrong to make Americans think that every single Palestinian in Gaza was a member of Hamas. That's just not true. There were tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered by these bombs that were dropped on them. And now the same thing is happening in Lebanon."

This is dangerous, immoral, and illegal - the third government he's tried to overthrow in the first three months of this year. We are in a worst case scenario of authoritarianism.

@business A real clown.

Oak Flat is a sacred site to nine Indigenous tribes. The Trump admin wants to hand it over to a major mining company that would destroy it. We stand with our Indigenous nations and say NO to giveaways that pollute our public lands and waters.

Imagine living in a state that needs better schools, roads, and hospitals—and your rep is fighting fluoride and clouds.

@PeteButtigieg They say tariffs hit “them,” but we’re the ones always paying the price. Go figure.

In other words: we are paying for the tariffs
