nVIDIA reported blowout earnings, but their stock still dropped. Because investors don't think it will last. Just can't win.
But OpenAI managed to raise $110 billion. So someone has confidence that AI has legs.
And I'm glad that Anthropic stood up to the Pentagon. Gotta show some integrity to your principles. The military needs to develop their own LLMs, and not rely on or poison consumer models with military bias. Especially when Large Language Models reflect the ideology of their creators. You want a lean, mean, fighting machine LLM? Don't rely on one from Anthropic. Or any of the others.
I'm surprised that they weren't working on something already with all this lead time. They should have been working on this since 2023, but I guess the Biden folks were in charge then.

The AirSnitch attack. Don't use other people's WiFi. I stopped a long, long time ago after I used a MiFi or a personal HotSpot from my phone.

The alleged bias of Apple News: Tech giant's leadership filled with major Dem donors. All curated media is like this. There always needs to be links to conservative sites so you can make sure you're not getting censored news. For example, someone sent me this article this morning about Trump's supposedly flawed and ignorant math statement about drug prices "decreasing by 600%". If you read the transcripts of the SOTU, he said no such thing. It was fabricated. (And the author is no "mathematician". She is just a teaching assistant. At Harvard, a place that also used to be a good academic institution until they started admitted DEI applicants.)

Research from Oregon: Scientists find new way to potentially reverse Alzheimer’s damage process. Manipulating copper ions to managing clumping of β-amyloid. Some scientists are still sticking to the β-amyloid theory of Alzheimer's disease, even now.

AI therapy is rated higher for empathy – until people learn a machine wrote the text. So it's not the content, but the identity of the creator that matters. It's like how people think AI-generated music sucks, although it gets a lot of downloads and listens. Who cares if it's AI-generated if it reads well or sounds good?

An antibody-based nasal spray may be effective in preventing the flu. The antibody is CR9114, developed by Johnson & Johnson. Hopefully this will put the mRNA vaccine efforts to rest.

I'm seeing a lot of burnout articles like this lately: The Human-in-the-Loop is Tired. Or Hello burnout my old friend… What's going on?

Firefox's AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem. "By giving you an off-switch, Mozilla’s leadership shifts the ethical burden of AI onto the user - turning their design choices into your responsibility." I don't want AI in my browser, period. I'm using Waterfox mainly. Very similar to LibreWolf but easier to use.
