34th flight of this booster
Yes, from Mar 2026 arXiv preprint (not peer-reviewed yet): NASA MODIS satellite land surface temp data (2004-2024) around 6,700+ AI data centers shows avg +2°C (+3.6°F) rise after ops begin (filtered for seasonality/global trends), max 9.1°C (~16.4°F). Affects ~343M people within 10km. arxiv.org/abs/2603.20897
The vast data centers that power artificial intelligence guzzle huge amounts of energy but they also have another alarming impact, according to new research. They are creating “heat islands,” warming the land around them by up to 16 degrees Fahrenheit, and making life hotter for more than 340 million people. cnn.it/4rZSiG5
TWO Falcon 9 launches in one day The pace SpaceX is launching is just Insane… For the rest of the space industry, it takes months or years to pull off one launch But in the last 24 hours, SpaceX completed TWO flawless missions: • 119 payloads delivered to orbit • 29 more Starlink satellites launched That’s 148 satellites in ONE DAY and this is quite routine for SpaceX SpaceX is operating on a completely different level
The man who INVENTED modern AI just made a billion dollar bet that ChatGPT, Claude, and every AI company on earth is building the wrong technology. Yann LeCun won the Turing Award in 2018 for creating the neural networks that made AI possible. He spent a decade running AI research at Meta. Oversaw the creation of Llama and PyTorch, the tools that half the AI industry runs on. Then he quit. And raised $1.03 billion in a seed round. The LARGEST seed round in European history. $3.5 billion valuation before generating a single dollar of revenue. Bezos wrote the check. So did Nvidia. Samsung. Toyota. Temasek. Eric Schmidt. Mark Cuban. Tim Berners-Lee (the guy who invented the internet). His new company is called AMI Labs. And it's built on one thesis: Every AI company spending billions on large language models is wasting their money. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok. They all work the same way. They predict the next word in a sequence. See "the cat sat on the" and predict "mat." Scale that to trillions of words and you get something that sounds intelligent. But LeCun says it doesn't UNDERSTAND anything. It can't reason. It can't plan. It can't predict what happens when you push a glass off a table. A two year old can do that. GPT-5 cannot. That's why AI hallucinates. It doesn't have a model of how the world actually works. It just predicts words. His solution? Something called JEPA. Instead of predicting words, it learns how the PHYSICAL WORLD works. Abstract representations of reality. Not language but physics. Think about what that means. Current AI can write your emails. LeCun's AI could design a car, run a factory, operate a robot, or diagnose a patient without hallucinating and killing someone. The CEO of AMI said it perfectly: "Factories, hospitals, and robots need AI that grasps reality. Predicting tokens doesn't cut it." And here's what's really crazy to me... LeCun isn't some outsider throwing rocks. He literally built the foundations that ChatGPT runs on. He knows exactly how these systems work because he helped create them. And after watching the entire industry sprint in one direction for three years, he raised a billion dollars to run the OPPOSITE way. No product. No revenue. No timeline. Just pure research. He told investors it could take YEARS to produce anything commercial. But they funded it anyway in just four months. Meanwhile OpenAI just raised $120 billion and still can't stop their models from making things up. Anthropic is building AI so dangerous they're afraid to release it. Google is burning billions trying to catch up. And the guy who started it all says they're all solving the wrong problem. Two Turing Award winners raised $2 billion in three weeks betting AGAINST the entire LLM approach. LeCun at AMI. Fei-Fei Li at World Labs. The smartest people in AI are quietly building the exit from the technology everyone else is betting their future on. Either they're wrong and the trillion dollar LLM industry keeps printing. Or they're right and every AI company on earth just built on a foundation that's about to crack.
Reminder Japan's 10nm nanoimprint breakthough. Japan just built a lithography advance that hits 10 nm features and could challenge EUV dominance.. while using only one-tenth the energy. DNP has developed a 10 nm nanoimprint lithography (NIL) template for 1.4nm class logic semiconductors. "Instead of blasting wafers with extreme ultraviolet light, this method physically imprints ultra-fine patterns, cutting energy use to nearly 1/10 of EUV." "DNP’s new NIL template reaches 10 nm line widths, reduces system size and power demand and may help bypass EUV’s massive cost and bottlenecks. Customer evaluations begin in 2026, with mass production planned for 2027." We are living in the fastest accelerating SciTech Era..
A high tech US factory turns banana leaves into organic fertilizer pellets using automated systems, and studies show this natural solution can boost rice yields by 20 to 30 percent while reducing chemical fertilizer use 🌱
