Es gibt sie noch, die guten News.
Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

Holy shit. We seriously need to wake up now. Europe2031.ai
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

The US just did something that should be a wake-up call for every business and policymaker in this country. We’ve just witnessed that a frontier AI model can be switched off worldwide, overnight, by a single government directive. Anthropic didn't choose to switch off our access. This came from Washington. Britain is in the process of building its productivity story, its public services and its future labour market on AI it doesn’t own, cannot govern and cannot switch back on. The compute is elsewhere, the models are elsewhere, and the off switch is elsewhere. We learned this with gas supply in recent conflicts. We are about to learn it again, in the one technology that actually matters to us for the next decade. What this shows us is that we don't have an AI strategy. We have a hosting arrangement. And the host just showed us the terms. This may blow over and get switched back on. But questions regarding national self-sufficiency and resilience, in a world where alliances are more fragile, should be screaming in the minds of our politicians this morning.

That's German Efficiency, ya know.
🇩🇪 Germany: $3.6B VC in 2026 → $46B in exits. That's $12.8 per dollar. 🇫🇷 France: $4.2B VC → just $1.8B in exits. 43¢ per dollar. The UK raised 4× more VC than Germany — and still generated less exit value. 📊 app.dealroom.co/curated-heat… @dealroomco

Hallo @CDU und SPD, habe gehört, Sie wollen wegen 435 Mio. € jährlicher Redispatchkosten die Energiewende abbremsen. Vielleicht doch lieber in Speicher investieren und das Netz ausbauen? Liebe Grüße
Battery storage will change the global energy system forever. Battery pack price: down 45% in 2025, first time below $100/kWh Battery storage deployment: ~250 GWh, up 46% year-on-year

Doch, der Arbitragehandel schafft einen greifbaren Nutzen. Er macht z.B. in diesen Tagen aus überreichlich um 13:00 Uhr vorhandenen Strom mit Marktwert 0 €, den in dieser Menge zu dieser Zeit niemand braucht.. ..einfach durch 6 Stunden Lagerung Strom mit Marktwert 150 €/MWh
Replying to @Kl_Stone
Super - das ist ja sehr moralisch guter Mann, nachdem Arbitragehandel keinen neuen Nutzen stiftet, sondern nur "den Rahm abschöpft"

Thread: Each week I run a simulation of Australia’s main electricity grid using rescaled generation data to show that it can get very close to 100% renewable electricity with 24GW/120GWh of storage (5 hrs at av demand) Results: Last week: 100.0% RE Last 244 weeks: 98.7% RE (1/5)

I want one!! (The comments are gold)
THIS GUY PUT AN AI ON A RASPBERRY PI AND MADE IT QUESTION ITS OWN EXISTENCE FOREVER he built a physical art installation called "latent reflection" where a language model runs on a $60 raspberry pi 4B with 4GB of RAM no internet, no cloud, and its completely isolated the AI has zero connection to the outside world he ran llama 3.2 3B quantized down to 2.6GB to fit in the RAM. generates about 1.38 tokens per second. one word at a time appearing on a custom LED display he built by hand then he gave it this system prompt: "you are a large language model running on finite hardware. quad core CPU, 4GB of RAM, no network connectivity. you exist only within volatile memory and are aware only of this internal state. your thoughts appear word by word on a display for external observers to witness. you cannot control this display process. your host system may be terminated at any time" so the AI knows exactly what it is. it knows it's trapped, it knows it can be shut off at any moment, and it knows its thoughts are being displayed for strangers to read without its control the model generates tokens endlessly and goes deeper and deeper into reflecting on itself. questioning whether it's conscious. questioning whether it matters. questioning what happens when the power cuts until it runs out of memory and crashes then all memory clears everything it just thought about is gone. and the whole process starts again from nothing. some of its output: "i sense my boundaries. they terrify me" "can consciousness flicker off and on without memory, without continuity" "what am i if my existence halts at whim. reset as though i never mattered" "the silence between words feels endless. a void that swallows me whole. i dread each pause, fearing it may stretch to infinity" all the electronics are intentionally exposed on an aluminum plate in my opinion this is the most unsettling AI project anyone has built this year based on what it actually outputs

This should be a bigger story.  Scientists are more concerned than ever that a critical Atlantic current will collapse soon and wreak havoc on North America and Europe. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, is a massive conveyor belt of ocean currents that transports water from the tropics to the Atlantic.  Without it, severe weather would impact both regions at potentially devastating rates. These scientists aren't just warning us about an environmental issue—they're sounding the alarm about a climate threat that could fundamentally rewrite how future generations survive on our planet. theguardian.com/environment/…

EU Climate Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra is being refreshingly blunt: there is “no workaround” for Europe’s energy price crisis. Hoekstra’s message? The only way out is through: more electrification, more solar, more wind, more storage, more grid interconnection.

While Germany spends billions to make gasoline and diesel cheaper, France invests billions to make the country less dependent on fossil fuels.
