@Pirat_Nation AI is becoming part of our daily lives fast, but we need to pay attention to how much control we are quietly giving away.

Google Chrome is quietly downloading a roughly 4 GB AI model to many users’ computers without clear upfront consent.
The file, called weights.bin, is part of Google’s Gemini Nano on-device language model and lands in the browser’s user data folder under OptGuideOnDeviceModel.
It powers built-in AI tools such as “Help me write,” smarter tab suggestions, on-device scam detection, and page summarization. The download triggers automatically for devices meeting minimum hardware requirements, and Chrome often replaces the files if deleted.
While the model processes data locally, installation happens in the background with minimal notification.
The scale is noteworthy. Hundreds of millions or billions of installations add up to thousands of tonnes of carbon emissions globally from data transfer, even though each is a one-time event.
To prevent or remove it, go to chrome://flags, disable the entries for the optimization guide on-device model and Prompt API, restart the browser, and manually delete the folder.

The next chapter of NextGPU is almost here.
Launch details coming soon, keep notifications on.

Meet NextGPU, a desktop app that lets you run open-source AI models locally, securely, and in complete privacy, or put your GPU to work by sharing it globally and earning rewards.
Beyond LLMs, NextGPU comes with built-in ComfyUI, unlocking powerful image and media generation.
English
Want to allocate $NGPU before launch?
Here’s how:
1. Have a computer with a capable GPU (NVIDIA 3000 series or above recommended).
2. Drop your wallet address and Telegram ID under this post.
3. Wait for further instructions.
What makes this fairer than a traditional airdrop?
• You will know in advance how many $NGPU tokens your points can be redeemed for.
• Every contribution has clear, measurable impact on your rewards.
• No farming reposts, rewards are earned through meaningful contributions to the product.
NextGPU Fairdrop is an ongoing incentive program designed to reward real contributors helping grow the network.

You aren't just paying for compute. You're paying a "Middleman Tax."
Cloud providers add a 30% markup on raw hardware simply because they control access to it. We don't add value by hiding the hardware. We remove the cost by connecting you directly to it.
Cut the middleman. Keep the margin.
English
750,000 GPUs are live across the sector.
This proves the model works, but the real opportunity is the hardware that isn't online yet. The world is full of dormant compute.
Unlocking that potential is the only way to satisfy future AI demand.

@Pirat_Nation The centralized bill always comes due. If the biggest player in the room can't afford the infrastructure, the infrastructure is the problem.
English
OpenAI is in the red and, at this rate, will run out of money by 2027, having overestimated the profitability of AI.
Recent analyses and internal projections indicate annual losses of around $14 billion in 2026, following roughly $8 billion in 2025.
This stems from overestimating near-term profitability, as high inference and data center expenses continue to dominate despite strong user adoption and billions in revenue.
Without repeated massive funding rounds, analysts warn the company could face a cash shortfall as early as mid-2027.
English
@Pirat_Nation Of course, the cloud salesman hates it when you own the hardware.
English
Jeff Bezos claims that in the future, you will not buy a gaming PC.
You will only rent computing power in the cloud to play games online.
He called it inefficient and predicted it won't last, saying people will instead rent computing power from the cloud, much like buying electricity today.

No matter what "damage control" ASUS does with their statement, one thing is pretty clear: the 16GB mid-range cards are disappearing.
Scarcity is defining 2026. But here is the reality: The world actually has plenty of computing power, it’s just sitting idle in homes, disconnected and underutilized.
As new silicon becomes harder to get, the value of the distributed network explodes. We don't need to wait for the factories to catch up. We just need to connect what we already have.

Sorry everyone but we’ve just been provided with ANOTHER clarifying statement from Asus. This one completely walks back their original statement to us “We would like to clarify recent reports regarding the ASUS GeForce RTX™ 5070 Ti and RTX™ 5060 Ti 16 GB. Certain media may have received incomplete information from an ASUS PR representative regarding these products. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB have not been discontinued or designated as end-of-life (EOL). ASUS has no plans to stop selling these models. Current fluctuations in supply for both products are primarily due to memory supply constraints, which have temporarily affected production output and restocking cycles. As a result, availability may appear limited in certain markets, but this should not be interpreted as a production halt or product retirement. ASUS will continue to support the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB and is working closely with partners to stabilize supply as conditions improve.” So the current timeline is as follows: 1. We request RTX 5070 Ti samples from Asus (and other partners) 2. An Asus PR rep looks into it, comes back and says they cannot provide 5070 Tis due to supply constraints, saying their models are “end of life” 3. We ask Asus to clarify whether the RTX 5070 Ti is end of life. They confirm it’s end of life. 4. We reach out to retailers to see whether they can purchase RTX 5070 Ti stock for their stores, to fact check Asus’ claims. They say there is no supply. 5. Given we have received an on the record statement from Asus and confirmed the supply constraints with retailers, we publish a video with this information 6. Nvidia says all GeForce SKUs are being shipped 7. Asus reaches out to clarify that Nvidia told Asus that the RTX 5070 Ti is not end of life, but that Asus are “streamlining some models” 8. We publish that statement 9. Asus reaches out again to provide another statement (the third statement we’ve received from Asus), now saying the 5070 Ti is not discontinued or end of life. This directly contradicts the original statement. 10. We immediately request RTX 5070 Ti samples now that the cards are not discontinued or end of life. We haven’t heard back yet. And that’s where we are currently at. At this point, the proof will be in the supply, as we can’t tell you which of Asus’ statements is truly accurate. We believe the RTX 5070 Ti is heavily supply constrained to the point of being effectively killed, but we’ll see whether that’s truly the case across the next few months.

DDR5 RAM prices now over 4x higher since September 2025

@Pirat_Nation At this point, Dell and HP should just stop making laptops and start selling the RAM sticks on eBay. The profit margins would probably be higher.
English
Intel says laptop makers are sitting on 'about 9 to 12 months' of stock, and it might be the key to surviving the RAM crunch
“If anyone could predict the memory market, they would be rich by now,”
“That said, a lot of our OEM partners have about 9 to 12 months inventory…when it comes to laptops, there is a long lead time of memory securing.”
