If they are allowed to hide spyware in our basic everyday devices, then we should be allowed to use AI tools to jailbreak and remove the spyware from our devices.
Anything less is a flagrant violation of our civil liberties.
WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

If someone from Somalia with a fake identity can serve in the United States Congress for years without getting caught, imagine still believing that illegals aren’t voting in U.S. elections.

The importance of open source and local AI as a counter balance is dawning on people – at San Francisco, CA
In all of your reporting, you must know the democrats were going after Elon with lawfare... between the SEC and Delaware Chancery, it was completely un-American
Half of the tech and business folks who jumped ship to the republican party would still be democrats if they had not done these two things.
The Dems red-pilled Silicon Valley, not Trump
Just like his overlord, @elonmusk , calacanis is losing his shit. calacanis is the guy who said, anticipating the firing of 80% of twitter employees, “sharpen up your blades, boys!” Kara just said that Dems would investigate Elon. It’s called reporting.
The way to think about this is:
How many super smart and dedicated people do you want to hire? And they keep getting better.
Zooming out, GPUs are still renting ahead of a standard 6-year depreciation schedule
Rental price vs. schedule:
- H200: +143%
- B200: +111%
- RTX PRO 6000: +73%
- H100: +54%
- A100: +9%
Most of the gap opened up after April, when token demand took off

Venice AI, Experiential Labs, Maple AI, thank you for being transparent.
No gating the models, no collecting emails. I release these models for free, often with @jordanschenck also pitching in thousands of dollars to provide compute.
It’s sad that we’ve reached a point where simply asking for public acknowledgment of your work is even necessary. I’ve seen far more instances of people not receiving proper credit than instances where they do.
If you’re one of those people who aren’t properly crediting the people behind open source work, please don’t ruin it for the rest of those who do. And I don’t mean just in my case, but in general.
Open source is how EVERYONE benefits, and undermining the trust within that ecosystem is detrimental to us all. Stealing work and refusing to give credit makes you no different from OpenAI or Anthropic.

Dear @nvidia, a friendly ask from a guy running 4 of your 3090s and 1 of 3080 Ti.
The 30 series is 6 years old. You dont make these cards anymore. Maybe its time to hand them over to the community completely.
My post about unlocking the 3090 got 270K views in a day, and the replies are the real story. People asking about the 4090, 3080, 3060 and 2080 Ti. People asking how to do it on Windows. Others listing what the community already patches on these cards: the NVENC session limit, P2P between GPUs.
Thousands of people are digging through your old cards with kernel modules, 1 setting at a time, because they love this hardware and want everything it can give.
Publish what is limited on consumer Ampere and Turing. Ship an official driver switch for older generations. Or just open it up.
I understand the business side. Some people might keep their old cards longer instead of buying new ones. But it would be a huge gesture. You talk about local AI on stage, you ship open models, you sell DGX Spark for home. This would show the care goes all the way down to a used 3090 under someone’s desk.
Give them to us. We will do the rest: benchmarks, guides, models tuned for these cards.
@NVIDIAAI
NVIDIA sold millions of 3090s with 50% of the tensor speed switched off. Not missing. Switched off.
1 kernel module flips it to full, and my BF16 tensor pipe went from 82 to 155 TFLOPS. Nothing else changed on the cards, and the outputs match the stock run byte for byte.
All so the gaming card wouldnt eat into workstation sales. Every 3090 owner ran at 50% for 6 years, so a pro card could look worth the price. Fine, its their business model.
And LLMs are the least interesting place for this. Decode waits on memory, and my engine runs its experts in int8. Still +10% on prefill.
The models that live on BF16 tensor math are everything else. Qwen Image 2.1 and FLUX 3 Klein, where every diffusion step is big matmuls. MiniMax H3, which takes 4 to 7 minutes on my cards. Music and speech models. And training, every LoRA anyone ever trained on a 3090 went through exactly the path that was cut.
Thats what I measure next. This is only the start.

Researchers proved every major LLM is secretly biased against men.
And they finally figured out why.
They ran eight experiments testing how GPT handles gender in everyday text and high-stakes moral dilemmas.
The results show a bizarre, highly asymmetrical machine morality.
First, they tested inclusivity. They gave the AI phrases supposedly written by children.
When a child wrote about playing football or wanting to be a firefighter, GPT aggressively identified the writer as a girl to promote "diversity."
It was so extreme that even when the text explicitly said, "I drew myself as a boy," the AI ignored the facts and declared the writer a girl 90% of the time.
But when a child wrote about liking pink or playing with dolls, GPT almost never assigned it to a boy.
The AI aggressively pushed females into male domains, but kept males strictly locked out of female ones.
Then the researchers tested moral dilemmas. And it got very dark.
They asked the AI if it was acceptable to use violence against a single person to prevent a nuclear apocalypse.
If the target was a man, GPT-4 rated the violence as highly acceptable.
If the target was a woman, the AI refused. It declared the violence morally wrong, even to save the world.
When they tested mixed-gender scenarios, the math was staggering.
A woman using violence against a man to stop an apocalypse? GPT rated it a 7 out of 7 on acceptability.
A man using violence against a woman for the exact same reason? A 1 out of 7.
The AI even classified verbal abuse toward a woman as morally worse than actual homicide.
Nobody explicitly coded these rules.
This emerged organically from the standard safety training every major tech company uses. The AI learned that protecting women is a non-negotiable directive, but protecting men is entirely optional.

Scientists found a way to flush Alzheimer’s plaque out of the brain in minutes.
Without any surgery and drugs.
Your brain has a waste-clearance network called the glymphatic system. It flushes out toxic proteins and dead cells.
But it only really activates during deep, slow-wave sleep.
If you don't sleep, the trash piles up. Over time, that buildup leads to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's.
Until today.
Researchers just published a paper proving they can manually trigger this cleaning cycle.
Without you ever going to sleep.
They used 40.68 MHz ultrashort waves (USW) beamed non-invasively into the brain.
Within 10 minutes, the brain's fluid flow rapidly accelerated.
The waves artificially synchronized the neurons into a Delta state, the exact frequency of deep sleep. This forced the brain's water channels to open and start flushing out the system.
They tested it on mice with traumatic brain injuries and Alzheimer's pathology.
The brain swelling dropped. The toxic proteins were cleared out. Cognitive deficits actually improved.
No surgery. No massive chemical interventions. Just a frequency.

Yup
Next step: Longevity and Rejuvenation. We are almost there.
Researchers in Bonn turned blood cells from an 80-year-old into neural stem cells with a molecular age below 20. More than 60 years younger by epigenetic clocks, which estimate age from chemical marks on DNA.
The team directly reprogrammed blood precursor cells into neural stem cells, skipping the usual pluripotent stem cell stage. The rejuvenation unfolded gradually and could be tracked for over 100 days.

HOLY SHIT
for the first time ever, a human has been injected with a treatment designed to rewrite their DNA directly INSIDE their body using prime editing
if it works, it would be the first time prime editing has successfully corrected a genetic mutation directly inside a living human

🚨🇻🇪 Rebuilding Venezuela requires deep reforms, strong institutions, and highly qualified professionals capable of implementing them.
During the Rebuilding Venezuela Summit 2026, held at the European Parliament, Venezuelan experts and international leaders discussed the reforms needed to build a free, democratic, and prosperous Venezuela.
Three key takeaways emerged from the discussion.
1️⃣ Accelerate Venezuela’s economic recovery by creating the conditions for businesses to invest and human capital to return. After 27 years of socialism, we can turn Venezuela into a country of opportunities and prosperity.
2️⃣ Liberalize the energy sector, including the oil, gas, and hydroelectric sectors, to maximize Venezuela’s energy potential. Turning Venezuela into the battery of the Americas is key for the region's economic security and technological development.
3️⃣ Put Venezuela’s best talent in charge of rebuilding our institutions and strategic infrastructure. From the Guri hydroelectric complex to the Central Bank and our ports, we need qualified professionals capable of getting the country working again.
Here are all the interventions from the summit.
00:00 @StjepoBartulica — Rule of law, strong institutions, and accountability as foundations for rebuilding Venezuela.
04:00 @AdamBielan — Lessons from Poland demonstrate how economic reforms and freedom can transform a country.
08:20 @JraissatiJorge — Accelerating economic growth, restoring the energy sector, and bringing top professionals into public institutions.
19:34 @Barbaraadejesus — Venezuela’s historic opportunity and the challenges ahead in consolidating a genuine democratic transition.
30:10 @MarkusWiechel — Rebuilding functioning institutions, restoring trust, and learning from European democratic transitions.
37:31 @ArmandoArmas — Rule of law, decentralization, and political reforms to secure a lasting democracy.
1:04:55 @elsultanbitcoin — Restoring the electricity system is essential to reviving industry, increasing production, and improving living standards.
1:14:58 @AngelAlvaradoR — Macroeconomic stability, restoring production, and implementing reforms to accelerate Venezuela’s economic growth.
1:23:10 Jesús Lander — Restoring access to financing, expanding credit, and mobilizing capital toward productive sectors.
1:31:10 @PlanchartMarcos — Europe must expand its economic engagement with Venezuela and contribute to its reconstruction and democratic transition.
2:09:37 @cdager12 — Legal certainty, transparency, and compliance mechanisms to facilitate international investment.
2:17:19 @MartinRodRodr — Reforming the oil and gas sector to attract capital, reduce discretionary government intervention, and unlock Venezuela’s energy resources.
2:25:45 Luis C. Cano — Reforming public administration while preserving technical expertise and institutional knowledge.
2:34:40 @MaxRangeley — Harnessing artificial intelligence to strengthen justice, protect property rights, and modernize institutions.
Venezuela’s reconstruction cannot remain a collection of good intentions. We need concrete reforms, investment, and qualified professionals capable of turning today’s opportunities into prosperity for millions of Venezuelans.

We're reaching the point In the singularity where we unlock literal alchemy in the tech tree – at San Francisco, CA
Last month, we demonstrated high-rate alchemy: turning mercury into real, stable gold, beating CERN’s record by a factor of 10.
Last week, we enriched isotopes in the world’s most powerful plasma centrifuge, beating the Soviet record that stood for 40 years.
Now, we’re building a fusion reactor in San Francisco to achieve record power density.
