The US released 50 notable models in 2025. China released 30. No other country hit double digits. This is a two-player race. Everyone else is a spectator.

Top AI models: industry produced over 90% of leading models in 2025. The top three contributors globally were OpenAI (19), Google (12), and Alibaba (11). Alibaba is now the third largest source of frontier AI models in the world. That was unthinkable two years ago.

The Suharto’s social contract: Corruption, iron-fist rule… in return for material progress

Israel has killed your soldiers. Instead of condemning such brutality, you chose to stand with them. A truly shameful day.

OPPO and OnePlus are bringing the Samsung NowBar over to ColorOS/OxygenOS. Who did it better?

SK hynix is estimated to own roughly a 33–34% stake in Kioxia. Kioxia is up 244% YTD.

😂😂😂 This is hilarious. Iranian humour is on a completely different level.

The era of $999 flagship Windows laptops is over Surface Laptop 13.8 is $1499, Galaxy Book6 Pro starts at $1799, XPS 14 at $1599 and so on Apple will dominate the midrange and ~$1K market simply because there isn't anyone else. Neo and Air, great products without competition.

BREAKING: Israel dropped bombs on the historic Citadel of Tyre in southern Lebanon. Not a military target. A UNESCO World Heritage site — one of the region’s oldest surviving monuments. This is a war crime and a crime against humanity.

🚨 BREAKING: China's new law on AI anthropomorphism has been officially enacted, and it is the world's STRICTEST law on the topic: As I wrote earlier this year, to my knowledge, no AI law anywhere in the world regulates anthropomorphic AI systems with this level of detail, strictness, and concern for context-specific vulnerabilities and potential risks. Earlier in January, I wrote an article about the law's first draft (link below). The approved version is even more comprehensive, covering liability-related risks as well. Article 10, for example, establishes that providers of anthropomorphic AI must fulfill their security responsibilities throughout the service lifecycle and sets out detailed obligations for each phase of AI development and deployment. Regarding children specifically, among the prohibited anthropomorphic AI practices is generating content for minors that causes them to imitate unsafe behaviors, induces extreme emotions, or leads them to develop bad habits, which may affect their physical and mental health. Despite being a serious topic (which has led to numerous cases of suicide and mental health harm), most countries do NOT regulate AI anthropomorphism comprehensively. An important reason for that is that peer-reviewed studies about AI-powered emotional manipulation and mental health harm only became available recently (as only in the past years have millions of people started to engage in these types of relationships). China's new law is worth taking a look at, and hopefully, other countries, states, and regions will soon follow suit with their own protections against AI anthropomorphism. 👉 Lastly, if you are interested in China's AI policy and regulation, besides joining my newsletter's 93,200+ subscribers, I invite you to join my new Masterclass on the topic (only on June 1st).

“Each time I come here, I am abused” - my brain when I start tracking vessels

Hideo Kojima (Metal Gear, Death Stranding) recommends new Dystopian Politics Thriller Anime "Nippon Sangoku: Three Nations of the Crimson Sun" In a dystopian Japan split into three nations, a man rises against oppression to unify Japan with wit and words.

A concerned Jon Stewart spies a familiar face in Trump's now-infamous "Jesus" meme....

The front page photo on today’s Joongang Ilbo, one of the main conservative newspapers in South Korea:

While I was surfing through the streaming services, I ended up watching the first episode of an anime that caught my eye. I’d only ever seen the title before in the manga section at bookstores. “Nippon Sangoku.” What an incredible anime. I’m honestly blown away…so intense and powerful. I’m definitely continuing this… or maybe I should just read the manga instead 🗾

Hideo Kojima was blown away after randomly finding 'NIPPON SANGOKU: The Three Nations of the Crimson Sun' on streaming! "What an incredible anime. I’m honestly blown away…so intense and powerful. I’m definitely continuing this… or maybe I should just read the manga instead"

@chairmanGLC Trade away military access for US support for a potential future dictatorship. Son in law of Suharto after all. Dah lama rancang.

Fuck Prabowo you disgusting piece of shit

Dylan Patel says GPUs are no longer the biggest bottleneck. According to @dylan522p, now CPUs are the constraint. In the early AI era, CPUs were the laggers. You used them for storage, checkpointing, pre-processing, etc. (pretty light workloads) The models weren't agentic and couldn't go step by step. Just string in and string out (simple inference) Then OpenAI launched O1 preview in September '24, and RL training loops have since tightened every month. - initially it was checking model output with regex - then running classifiers - followed by code unit tests + compilation - and finally agentic flows calling databases & scientific simulations The model outputs to an environment, gets verified, and trains on it. Coding agent revenue went from a couple billion to north of $10B in roughly 6 months. Something like Codex 5.4 can work agentically on its own for 6-7 hrs straight - doing all sorts of calls (databases, cron servers, scraping) That requires insane CPU capabilities. And over the last two quarters, the entire cloud market ran out of CPUs. - GitHub has been really unstable lately - Amazon's CPU server installations 3x'd year over year - Microsoft sold all of its spare CPUs to Anthropic & OpenAI Earlier, it was 100 megawatts of GPUs served by 1 megawatt of CPUs. Now that ratio is getting much closer for both RL training and agentic inference. There's simply no capacity anywhere, and it's causing massive instability.

The horrific scenes we've seen throughout the Middle East could come to our region soon. The door has been opened, wide open Wake the fuck up or we're done @MINDEFMalaysia

To my knowledge this is the first time a final cut of a film was completely leaked online without watermarks, in HD, and prior to its promotional run. I’ve never seen anything quite like this leak.
