wow google might've popped the ai bubble, memory stocks down massively today: their new algorithm shrinks an AI model's memory by 6X WITHOUT reducing it's intelligence making it 8x faster with the SAME # of GPUs: if this works - we don't need as many GPUs to train AI - kv-cache is basically a model's short term memory. it gets massive pretty quickly = larger, slower, expensive ai - google's algo compresses it to just 3-bits with ZERO loss in accuracy (usually models are like 32-bit) the combined market cap of micron and sandisk is $527 billion and im not even factoring in SK hynix and samsung ai has driven up memory prices by 500%+ over the last few months - if google's algo scales then this might crash.

FlashAttention 3 has ~70,000 lines of code. The vLLM Triton attention backend has ~800. On H100 it hits 100.7% of FlashAttention 3 performance. On AMD MI300 it delivers a 5.8x speedup over earlier implementations. Same kernel source code on both. IBM Research, Red Hat, and AMD built this for vLLM to solve the portability problem: one kernel, any GPU vendor. Check it out 👇

This is the MacBook Neo's competition btw 😭

🦔 Meta contractors in Kenya told Swedish newspapers they're being asked to review intimate footage from Ray-Ban AI glasses, including people undressing, using the bathroom, watching porn, and filming sex. One contractor said users often don't realize they're still recording when they set the glasses down. Meta sold 7 million pairs in 2025, up from 2 million in 2023-2024 combined. Users can't use the AI features without agreeing to share data with Meta's servers, and the terms of service bury the fact that humans may manually review your footage. One annotator said "if they knew about the extent of the data collection, no one would dare to use the glasses." My Take This is the Google Home story again but worse. At least with cameras in your house, you know where they are. These are glasses you wear on your face that keep recording when you take them off and set them on your nightstand. And the footage goes to contractors overseas who are paid to watch and label it for AI training. One worker described seeing a man leave the room, then his wife come in and change clothes. People forget the camera is still on. Meta buries all of this in terms of service nobody reads. The product is marketed as a cool way to capture your life and interact with AI. The reality is strangers in Kenya watching you undress so they can annotate the footage to make Zuckerberg's AI better. Seven million people bought these last year. I'd bet almost none of them understood what they were actually agreeing to. Hedgie🤗

President Donald J. Trump on the United States military combat operations in Iran:

Hur kommer det sig att Jämställdhetsmyndigheten på några år svällt och fördubblat sin personalstyrka – och var finns resultaten? Varför uppvisar myndigheten en påfallande skev könsfördelning bland sina egna anställda? Hur kan en myndighet som är satt att främja jämställdhet inte ens leva upp till sina egna grundprinciper? Lägg ner och avveckla - snarast.
