MEDICAL ROBOT RUNS FROM POLICE RIGHT IN THE CITY... CENTER Robots are built to follow commands. This one turned and ran on its own. This isn't staged. This isn't a demo. Cameras caught it live. A police car and an ambulance were already on scene. The robot in a blue medical gown bolted through the pedestrian zone, weaving straight through café tables. It dodged between chairs. It moved around people without slowing down. It never lost its balance. Officers on foot couldn't keep pace. Step speed, balance, obstacle response, all running in real time. Nobody scripted this scenario in advance. Autonomy isn't a glitch in the code. It's the basic wiring of a body that finally learned to move on its own.show more

Chainlink surfaces Swift's case against tearing finance down Nick... Kerigan (Nick Kerigan), Managing Director and Head of Innovation at Swift (Swift), pushed back on the idea that building the next financial system means starting over, saying of that view, "I don't believe that at all." His version keeps the parts of the existing stack that already work, specifically the ones supplying trust and data, then builds new technology around them rather than over them. That new layer covers new forms of money and blockchains, with agentic AI named as a key part feeding into the same stack rather than running alongside it. Coming from the network sitting between more than 11,500 institutions, it's a fair marker of how the incumbents intend to arrive.show more

Why is the market selling off today? (Save this).... The semi selloff right now is being driven by a mix of macro fear, profit taking and investors questioning how quickly all of this AI spending will actually pay off, not because demand for AI infrastructure suddenly disappeared. The market is basically trading this chain reaction, the ongoing US Iran escalation pushes oil higher, higher oil keeps inflation elevated, sticky inflation keeps Treasury yields high and that increases the risk of the Fed staying hawkish or even hiking again. That is a terrible setup for semis because many of these companies are valued on the massive earnings investors expect them to generate years from now. When yields rise, those future earnings become worth less today which is why the highest multiple AI and semiconductor names usually get hit first. (I don't think there will be a hike this year). This is also why everything is moving together right now. Nvidia, Micron, Nebius, SanDisk, Broadcom and Applied Optoelectronics are all completely different businesses, but institutions are not separating memory, networking, optics, compute and cloud infrastructure at the moment. They are reducing exposure to the entire AI trade, taking profits in the names that have already run the most and moving into a more defensive position potentially ahead of the Fed. There is also growing pressure around hyperscaler capex. Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google are still spending enormous amounts on GPUs, data centers, networking and power but the market is starting to ask when all of that spending will actually turn into revenue and free cash flow. Investors are no longer satisfied with hearing that AI capex is growing. They want proof that the returns are arriving fast enough to justify the valuations already priced into the entire AI ecosystem. That creates a weird situation where hyperscaler capex can continue rising while semiconductor stocks still fall. The market is not asking whether AI spending is growing anymore but rather asking whether it is growing fast enough to beat the expectations already baked into these stocks. Crowded positioning is another major factor. Semis and AI infrastructure stocks have been some of the biggest winners in the market so institutions are sitting on huge profits and many funds own the exact same names. When macro risk increases, investors usually sell the most liquid winners first. That does not mean demand for memory, optics or custom chips suddenly collapsed but rather means investors are locking in gains and reducing risk. Tariffs add another layer because even when they are not directly placed on chips, they can still raise the cost of servers, electrical equipment, cooling systems, construction materials and the overall data center buildout. That makes AI infrastructure more expensive while also adding another source of inflation. Then you have Jensen Huang’s letter to the White House this morning about open weight AI models, which I think is one of the most important long term developments here. Nvidia, Meta, Microsoft, Palantir and several other companies are pushing Washington not to place broad restrictions on open weight AI. OpenAI and Anthropic were notably absent because open models are much more of a threat to their business models. OpenAI and Anthropic benefit from a world where a few closed frontier labs control the best models and companies have to pay them through subscriptions and APIs. Open weight models weaken that advantage because businesses can download a model, customize it for their own use and run it on their own infrastructure or through a neocloud. That is bad for OpenAI and Anthropic because it puts pressure on pricing, margins and the idea that they will control the intelligence layer of the economy but it is very good for the AI ecosystem as a whole over the long run. But the question is what does this mean for all the OpenAI and Anthropic commitments? so that's adding to the fear as well. But with that being said open models make AI cheaper and more accessible. Instead of AI being controlled by a few giant labs, thousands of startups, universities, governments and regular businesses can deploy models themselves. That spreads AI adoption across the entire economy and creates a much larger infrastructure opportunity and that is exactly why Jensen cares. Nvidia does not need OpenAI or Anthropic to win. Nvidia just needs more people using AI. Whether the model comes from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Mistral, Kimi or some startup nobody has heard of yet, it still needs GPUs, memory, networking, data centers and electricity. So open weight AI could actually weaken the model companies while making the infrastructure layer much bigger. More open models mean more companies running inference. More inference means more GPUs. More GPUs mean more HBM, optical transceivers, switches, data centers and power. That is bullish for Nvidia Nebius, Micron, Broadcom , Marvell and Applied Optoelectronics over the long run. So my take is that the current semi selloff is being driven mostly by macro uncertainty, higher oil, rising yields, Fed fears, tariffs, crowded positioning and questions around the return on hyperscaler capex. The underlying AI infrastructure thesis has not suddenly broken. We are not broadly seeing hyperscalers cancel GPU orders, slash capex, abandon data center projects or report that AI demand has collapsed. What has changed is the valuation investors are willing to pay while the macro environment remains unstable. The market is lowering the price it is willing to pay for semiconductor growth but is not necessarily saying that growth is gone. And while Jensen’s open weight push may be bad for OpenAI and Anthropic, it could be one of the best things possible for the AI ecosystem over the long run because it creates more models, more developers, more competition and ultimately much more demand for the infrastructure underneath all of it. Nothing about the AI thesis has changed for me, so I will be going shopping and taking advantage of this sale while the market is selling everything together.

The video smooth zoom on the Samsung Galaxy S26... Ultra is still the closest thing to a professional camcorder experience in the smartphone industry today. In fact, it’s even easier to control than the iPhone. On many other phones, video zooming requires constant finger movement and very precise control. The zoom speed can easily become inconsistent, suddenly speeding up or slowing down. Samsung works differently. You simply hold your finger at a certain position, and the phone continues zooming at a constant speed. The entire process feels extremely stable and linear. It genuinely resembles the powered zoom control of a professional video camera. This logic is fundamentally related to Samsung’s AI slow motion technology. They share the same core foundation: real time control over motion trajectories, speed transitions, and frame interpolation. What you’re seeing here was shot in very windy conditions using Samsung’s Pro Video mode, continuously zooming from 5x to 25x. Aside from some slight stutter during optical lens switching points, the continuous zoom transition within digital zoom ranges is arguably the closest thing to a professional camera currently available on a smartphone. So if the future Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra really removes the 3x telephoto camera, it could actually improve the video zoom experience further. Fewer optical switching points would theoretically reduce transition jumps and stutters, making the entire zoom range feel even more natural and continuous.show more

SOMEONE FROM TOKYO IS MAPPING BIRD LANGUAGE INTO REAL... DATA PATTERNS AND THE VISUALIZATION LOOKS LIKE A NEURAL NETWORK DREAMING Every bird sound - frequency, duration, amplitude and modulation - gets converted into 3D space coordinates and rendered as a cluster of colored points in real time through Deepen AI. A microphone captures the acoustic signal, FFT breaks it down into frequency components from 1 kHz to 8 kHz where most birds communicate, an ML model classifies the pattern and the mapped data hits a graph where each call type gets its own color and position in space. Birds have a vocal repertoire of 5 to 200+ unique signals depending on the species - and every signal carries different information about predators, food, territory and mates that humans simply can't hear. The same technology that decodes bird language detects anomalies in industrial machinery, cardiac rhythms and structural vibrations in buildings - he just trained it on nature first.show more

The "Neoclouds are too scared of Jensen to offer... TPUs!" tweet reminded me of this quote from the Odd Lots episode with Hudson River Trading's Head of AI: "If you're using TPUs, you're also kind of entering a very close relationship with Google, some feeling of vendor lock in.. It's a complicated thing if you go down that path. But if you're compute hungry like the big labs, you'll take what you can get. I think Anthropic takes TPUs, Trainium, and GPUs, they need them all." You can also just look at the hoops and hurdles Google is going through to find external buyers of TPUs: - Invested $10B+ in Anthropic (and committed to invest $40B+) - Back-stopped Anthropic's data center leases so that Anthropic's data center developers can obtain financing to house the TPU's Anthropic is buying from Google - Created a new neocloud via a JV with Blackstone to offer TPUs (e.g. buy them from Google to rent) CoreWeave and Nebius are already sold out on the GPUs for which they have data center capacity to bring online.. Both want to diversify their customer bases away from hyperscalers and large AI labs. Doesn't seem to make any sense for them to offer TPUs, when Anthropic is the only company actually buying TPUs from Google, and only after being heavily incentivized to do so. $GOOG $CRWV $NBISshow more

🦔Turn your sound on for this one. This is... what it sounds like to live next to an AI data center, 24 hours a day. In Dowagiac, Michigan, residents sued after a facility run by Hyperscale Data ran around the clock at 78 decibels outside their homes. The company offered to buy their houses rather than fix the noise. One family has lived on that street for nearly a century. My Take This isn't one town with one bad facility. Microsoft faces a class-action in Wisconsin over data center noise residents can hear a mile and a half from the property line. In Virginia, one-third of data centers sit within 200 feet of homes. Noise from thousands of servers can hit 96 decibels, and diesel backup generators reach 105, which is a jet overhead. Residents report headaches, nausea, and sleep problems. Property values near this kind of infrastructure drop up to 20%. The company response in Michigan was to offer to buy the homes rather than quiet the facility, homes that families spent decades in, priced against a corporate buyout. Water in Oregon, wells in Georgia, ratepayer costs in Louisiana, river water in California, and now noise in Michigan and Wisconsin. None of this was in the brochure when these projects got approved. Closed-loop cooling and proper sound barriers exist and would solve most of this, but they cost more, so the companies skip them and the neighbors lose sleep and equity instead. Hedgie🤗show more

$4.4 trillion in PE assets under management Monitored by... analysts who spend 500+ hours a year copying numbers from PDFs into Excel. Not analyzing. Copying and pasting. A fund has 10 portcos. One on NetSuite, one on QuickBooks, three on Excel, one CFO sending a paragraph in an email every quarter. Company A calls it "Revenue." Company B calls it "Net Sales." Company C doesn't even use the same EBITDA calculation. Before AI can do anything useful, you need four layers: 1. Ingestion: get the data out of PDFs, spreadsheets, emails, whatever format it shows up in 2. Normalization: make sure the same metric means the same thing across every company 3. Storage: structured database that can actually be queried, not a folder of files 4. Query layer: natural language interface so a non-technical partner can ask "which portco is trending down on margins?" and get a real answer Most companies jump straight to layer 4 and wonder why nothing works. The unlock is building layers 1-3 first. Once those exist, the AI part is MUCH easier. The firms that get their data infrastructure right first will be untouchable.show more

1 mini PC that fits in a palm, with... no monthly token bill attached to it. Most people run their AI through a browser tab. Every prompt, every document, every half-finished idea leaves the machine and lands on someone else's server. This ORICO mini PC runs the model locally. The assistant lives inside the box, not in a data center 2,000 miles away. Small enough to slide into a bag. Powerful enough that you stop noticing it is not a desktop. You pay once for hardware instead of every month for limits. No outage that takes your assistant down with it. No terms of service deciding what your files are worth. Plug it in anywhere, and the assistant is already there, offline, waiting. The smallest machine on the desk is the only one that keeps its mouth shut.show more
