Feeling robbed of my path to citizenship right now after grinding a PhD and contributing to foundational AI + computing technologies for the United States for the past ~ 10 years. Feels like robbing top and technologists like me of the opportunity to achieve the American Dream.
À compter de ce jour, Itamar Ben-Gvir est interdit d'accès au territoire français. Cette décision fait suite à ses agissements inqualifiables à l'égard de citoyens français et européens passagers de la flottille Global Smud. Nous désapprouvons la démarche de cette flottille qui ne produit aucun effet utile et surcharge les services diplomatiques et consulaires, dont je salue le professionnalisme et le dévouement. Mais nous ne pouvons tolérer que des ressortissants français puissent être ainsi menacés, intimidés ou brutalisés, qui plus est par un responsable public. Je relève que ces agissements ont été dénoncés par un grand nombre de responsables gouvernementaux et politiques israéliens. Ils font suite à une longue liste de déclarations et d’actions choquantes, d’incitations à la haine et à la violence à l'encontre des Palestiniens. Comme mon collègue italien, je demande à l'Union européenne de prendre également des sanctions à l’égard d’Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The Boys finale pissing off all the correct people
This is “art” made by resentful creatives with no exposure to actual powerful people. In reality, powerful people are generally quite internally strong. That’s how they became powerful. Art should be true.
In The Boys finale, Homelander had to look powerless according to Eric Kripke “Yeah, it was really important to us for Homelander to at least experience a little bit of time powerless.” “People have asked me, ‘Well, why don’t you send him out in the world powerless, wouldn’t that be the ultimate punishment?’ “I’m like, it would, until he gets his hands on some more Compound V, and then you’re back to where you started.” “So, he cannot walk out of that room alive, but we can spend time with him powerless to really reveal what everyone’s been saying all season, which is, ‘Take away those powers and you are nothing.’ “And he’s so cowardly and blubbering and pathetic, as are most strong men when you remove their power and they’re and they’re faced with their imminent death, they rarely handle it bravely.”

Are they just getting caught now or has it always been like this?
She did so completely willingly, and is crying that at 18 she was basically just an infant because her frontal lobe was “only” 90% developed. The retarding of Americans’ growth, and infantilisation of women, means that washed-up actresses can do press tours calling normal men “pedophiles” to gin up publicity for their upcoming, weepy autobiography.

someone analyzed all 5000+ accepted papers at ICLR 2026, and it's a good signal who's pushing the research of AI: > China has surpassed the US with 43.7% of the papers > Europe's contribution is surprisingly small (5.3% including UK)
What the SpaceX–Anthropic Deal Means Two weeks ago, we published a note laying out what GPT-5.5's release implied. The conclusion was simple: whoever secures compute first, in greater volume, and with greater reliability ultimately takes the win. With OpenAI's 30GW roadmap dwarfing Anthropic's 7–8GW, we closed by arguing that the structural advantage on compute sat with OpenAI. Less than a fortnight later, that conclusion is being tested. On May 6, Anthropic signed a single-tenant lease for the entirety of Colossus 1 with SpaceXAI — the infrastructure subsidiary that consolidates Elon Musk's xAI and SpaceX. The asset carries more than 220,000 GPUs and 300MW of power, and crucially, is scheduled to come online within this month. It served as the capstone of Anthropic's April blitz, which added 13.8GW of cumulative capacity over the span of a single month. On headline numbers alone, OpenAI took more than a year to stack 18GW; Anthropic has put 13.8GW in the ground in thirty days. The takeaways break down into three. First, the compute pecking order has been redrawn again. Anthropic has now swept up the AWS expansion (5GW, with $100B+ in spend commitments over a decade), Google + Broadcom (3.5GW of TPU), Google Cloud (5GW alongside a $40B investment), and now SpaceXAI's Colossus 1 (0.3GW). Cumulative committed capacity, inclusive of pre-April allocations, sits at 14.8GW. This is still only half of OpenAI's 2030 target of 30GW, but the fact that the SpaceX lease will be live inside a month makes "deliverability" a qualitatively different proposition. Second, Elon Musk is the plaintiff in an active lawsuit against OpenAI — and at the same time, the supplier handing 220,000+ GPUs and 300MW of power, in one block, to OpenAI's most formidable competitor. The timing matters: the deal was struck in the middle of the Musk–Altman trial. We read this as a deliberate pincer with OpenAI in the middle. In the courtroom, Musk works to dismantle the moral legitimacy of OpenAI's leadership; in the market, he arms Anthropic to absorb OpenAI's revenue and user base. Third, the structure is financial-engineering perfection — a clean win-win for both sides. xAI can recognize $6B of annual revenue from a single contract, an amount that almost precisely offsets its Q1 2026 annualized net loss of $6B. It also accelerates the cleanup of SpaceXAI's pre-IPO balance sheet, with the entity now being floated at around $1.75T. Anthropic, on the other side, converts roughly $5B of spend into what it expects to be $15B of ARR via the coming inference-revenue surge. (Mirae Asset Securities, May 8, 2026)
