Okay this is genuinely insane.
SpaceX just unveiled a satellite whose only job is to run AI. Not internet. Not GPS. Just compute, floating in orbit.
It's called AI1, and the reason behind it breaks your brain.
AI data centers on Earth are hitting a wall, not a chip wall, a physics wall.
They need staggering amounts of power and water just to stay cool, and we're running out of grid and land to build them.
So Musk's answer is: stop building them on Earth.
In orbit, the sun never sets. Free power, 24/7. No water for cooling, you just radiate heat into the vacuum of space. The two things choking AI on the ground barely exist up there.
And here's the wild part: Musk says it's easier to build than a Starlink satellite. Strip out the complex antennas and it's "a lot of solar cells, a radiator, and some laser links."
One AI1 carries the compute of an Nvidia GB300 rack, the same hardware data centers fight over down here.
AI1 is just the first one. The plan is a constellation of up to a million of them.
And the timing isn't an accident, SpaceX goes public this week at a ~$1.75 trillion target. This isn't a rocket company anymore. It's positioning itself as the power grid for AI, in space.
The race for AI compute just left the planet. Literally.

The vaccine dosage was obviously too high and done too many times.
I had the original Wuhan virus before there was any vaccine and it was much like any other cold/flu. Bad, but not terrible.
But my second vaccine shot almost sent me to the hospital. Felt like I was dying.
This should be headline news EVERYWHERE.
A Pfizer insider who was former head of toxicology in Europe has just come out and said something that many "conspiracy theorists" suspected.
He estimates that 20 000 to 60 000 people in Germany have died from the c*vid vaccine.
This was said at a parliamentary enquiry commission in Germany.
So why isn't this massive news being reported everywhere?
Is the mainstream media that has recieved millions in funding from Bill Gates deliberately covering this up... 🤔

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1jxXgeyMk…

🇦🇺An Australian tech founder with zero biology background sequenced his dog’s tumor DNA, then used ChatGPT and AlphaFold to design a custom mRNA cancer vaccine.
A month later, the tumors shrank by half.
And this is just the start of AI medicine.

Scientists just copied a Fruit Fly's biological brain and trapped it inside of a computer.
Not an AI model trained to act like a fly... A total digital copy of a fly !! This is some sick sci-fi stuff:
- They scanned and copied the brain, neuron by neuron, synapse by synapse, from electron microscopy data.
- Then dropped that brain into a simulated body in a video game like environment.
The fly walked. It groomed. It fed. Nobody taught it anything. The behavior was already in the wiring.
The entire premise of modern AI is that intelligence is something you train into a system. This is proof it's something you can transfer out of one. Wild times

🚨BREAKING NEWS: St Kilda West Celebrates Cultural Enrichment with Sunday Morning Gunfire Near Victorian Socialist Luxury HQ
ST KILDA WEST, VIC — The Victorian government has once again delivered on its bold promise to “reimagine safety,” after a brawl involving armed African youths turned a quiet St Kilda West street into Kabul-on-the-Bay. Shots were fired, a man’s head was stomped into the pavement, and local residents were treated to a live performance of Equity in Action: The Musical… all in broad daylight.
Just metres from the palatial townhouse of Victorian Socialist icon Jordan van den Lamb… where “workers of the world unite” means please use the tradesmen’s entrance… the violence erupted like a scene from GTA: Diversity Expansion Pack.
The government responded with its usual decisive action:
💡 A strongly worded tweet
💡 A working group to investigate gun violence through the lens of colonialism
💡 And a new “community mural” to celebrate belonging, inclusion, and belt-stomping as a form of cultural expression.
Premier Jacinta Allan… selected via DEI meritocracy (i.e. Dumbest Eligible Individual)… reassured Victorians that there was no cause for alarm. After all, this was just “youths experiencing disadvantage,” not a symptom of imported anarchy, failed border policy, or a legal system built to comfort criminals instead of protect children.
Victorian Socialists also chimed in, proposing a new tax on landlords and free machetes for underprivileged migrants… because clearly the only thing standing between chaos and utopia is one more redistribution plan.
As residents locked their doors and kids cried under couches, the government doubled down on its commitment to “restorative justice.” That’s code for: the kids with guns get therapy, while you get to clean blood off your porch.
Welcome to Victoria. Where law and order is white supremacy, criminal accountability is colonial oppression, and you are the bigot for noticing.

It finally happened
A McDonald’s truck delivery worker filmed inside the truck and shows the boxes of McDonalds foods, from McChickens, McNuggets, their Apple Pies and more. All with the full ingredients on the side of the boxes
“Please stop eating this sh*t. Let me show y'all a little something — I'm just trying to tell y'all, let y'all know, because y'all don't get to see these ingredients so stop eating this sh*t okay”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
All of the ingredients in McDonald’s food can be found on the McDonald’s website under nutritional information.

AI video generation is getting shockingly good.
In a couple of years, anyone will be able to create a movie from a smartphone- we're entering a whole new era of film.
Here are some of the best examples I've seen:

Sam Altman warned us:
“Everyone thinks you can hire someone to do this."
"That fails 100% of the time."
A board of directors won't cut it.
The secret to building a generational company, according to him?

We remain committed to our partnership with OpenAI and have confidence in our product roadmap, our ability to continue to innovate with everything we announced at Microsoft Ignite, and in continuing to support our customers and partners. We look forward to getting to know Emmett Shear and OAI's new leadership team and working with them. And we’re extremely excited to share the news that Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, together with colleagues, will be joining Microsoft to lead a new advanced AI research team. We look forward to moving quickly to provide them with the resources needed for their success.

Copilot will be the new UI for both the world's knowledge and your organization's knowledge, but most importantly, it will be your agent that helps you act on that knowledge. Here are highlights from my keynote today at #MSIgnite.

i loved my time at openai. it was transformative for me personally, and hopefully the world a little bit. most of all i loved working with such talented people.
will have more to say about what’s next later.

Sam and I are shocked and saddened by what the board did today.
Let us first say thank you to all the incredible people who we have worked with at OpenAI, our customers, our investors, and all of those who have been reaching out.
We too are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. Here is what we know:
- Last night, Sam got a text from Ilya asking to talk at noon Friday. Sam joined a Google Meet and the whole board, except Greg, was there. Ilya told Sam he was being fired and that the news was going out very soon.
- At 12:19pm, Greg got a text from Ilya asking for a quick call. At 12:23pm, Ilya sent a Google Meet link. Greg was told that he was being removed from the board (but was vital to the company and would retain his role) and that Sam had been fired. Around the same time, OpenAI published a blog post.
- As far as we know, the management team was made aware of this shortly after, other than Mira who found out the night prior.
The outpouring of support has been really nice; thank you, but please don’t spend any time being concerned. We will be fine. Greater things coming soon.
