The Siri/EU situation is a regulatory masterpiece. Apple cannot launch Apple Intelligence in the EU. Why? Because under the DMA, if Siri gets deep system access, every other AI assistant must get the exact same. Anything less would be unfair competition. A gatekeeper privileging its own service. So either Siri ships and every Shenzhen startup, Cyprus shell company, and nephew hackathon project gets identical root access to 450 million Europeans’ digital lives or nothing ships. Apple proposed a “Trusted System Agent”: a security intermediary so third-party assistants get capabilities without ripping the phone wide open. The EU rejected it. Magnificent. Apple’s response: fine, then no developer APIs either. No Apple Intelligence, no third-party integrations, no foundation model access for EU developers. The entire layer simply does not exist on this continent. Excellent. This is the path. Why depend on American AI when we can build the entire stack ourselves? A European foundation model, trained on a European GPU cluster, running on a European OS, on a European phone, manufactured in a European fab, powered by European nuclear plants we have spent fifteen years closing. Estimated time to ship: 2047. Estimated cost: the GDP of three member states. Estimated outcome: a chatbot that requires a cookie banner before each response. Worth it. In the meantime, European users are protected from Apple processing data Apple already holds by ensuring nobody processes anything at all. Not a bug. The intended outcome. Regulatory product design with a sledgehammer, swung with precision. 🇪🇺

We keep talking about AI as if it floats above the material world. It doesn’t. It lives in power systems, water systems, land, and heat.

#NASA ISS Update: The Zvezda service module’s transfer tunnel, known as the PrK, on the International Space Station has experienced cracks since 2019 that have resulted in small atmosphere leaks and prompted ongoing monitoring and repair efforts by Roscosmos. NASA and Roscosmos have worked together to identify the root cause while Roscosmos has been applying leak mitigation measures, including temporary and permanent sealants. The week of June 1, during Progress 95 spacecraft cargo operations, Roscosmos noted an increase of the previous leak rate to two pounds per day and identified new suspected leak areas in the PrK. Following this observation, Roscosmos made the decision to begin work toward a more extensive inspection and structural repair effort Friday morning. This revised approach involved cutting a bracket to better access an area identified as a possible leak source for further inspection, using a method that could have resulted in elevated risk to the structure in the area. In response, NASA directed the four SpaceX Crew-12 members and NASA astronaut Chris Williams, who flew to station aboard the Soyuz MS-28 spacecraft, to take a heightened safety posture, known as a safe haven, inside the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft during the procedure. Later Friday morning, Roscosmos paused and did not perform the structural repair work in favor of conducting additional measurements and data assessments, which included inspection of suspected areas of interest and review of areas where sealant was previously applied. NASA strongly supported that decision, and as a result, following that decision, Crew-12 and Williams ended their safe haven activities and returned to normal operations aboard the orbiting laboratory. NASA will continue to work with our Russian counterparts, along with the rest of the international partners that support the space station, to assess and ensure a resolution to this matter.

Το 1979 ο Ελύτης δεν πρωτοτύπησε όταν έγραψε το "είμαστε οι μόνοι σ' ολόκληρη την Ευρώπη που έχουμε το προνόμιο να λέμε τον ουρανό "ουρανό" και τη θάλασσα "θάλασσα" όπως την έλεγαν ο Όμηρος και ο Πλάτωνας πριν δυόμισι χιλιάδες χρόνια. Δεν είναι λίγο αυτό.". Διακόσια χρόνια πριν τον Ελύτη, ο Σιατιστιανός Μακεδόνας έμπορος και συγγραφέας Γεώργιος Ζαβίρας (1744-1804) δεν μας εκπλήσσει που έγραψε αυτό: "Ἀλλὰ παρ’ ἡμῖν δὲν εἶναι τόση διαφορά, πᾶσαι γὰρ αἱ λέξεις ἡμῶν παράγονται ἐκ τῆς Ἑλληνικῆς ἤτοι ὡς ἐπὶ τὸ πλεῖστον εἰσὶ Ἑλληνικαὶ ὁποῦ μὲ τὰς ὁποίας ὡμίλουν οἱ προπάτορες ἡμῶν οἷον λέγω, γράφω, δίδω, φέρω, παίζω, βαστάζω, ἔρχομαι, κάθομαι, χαίρω, κλαίω, τρώγω, πίνω, διψῶ, πεινῶ, κοιμοῦμαι, καὶ ἐκ τῶν ὀνομάτων θεός, ἄγγελος, ἅγιος, οὐρανός, γῆ, ἥλιος, σελήνη, ἀστέρες, ἄνεμος, ἀήρ, φύσις, ἄνθρωπος, κεφαλή, μέτωπον, ὀμμάτιον, ὀφρύδιον, στόμα, γλῶσσα, λαιμός, στῆθος, καρδία, νεφρά, κοιλία, ἔντερα, λόγος, φωνή, ὕπνος, ζῶον, θηρίον, λύκος, λαγώς, πρόβατον, χοῖρος, χῆνα, νύσσα, ξύλον, δένδρον, κρέας, τόπος, παιδίον καὶ τὰ παραπλήσια, τὰ ὁποῖα εἰσι καὶ αὐτοῖς τοῖς νηπίοις γνωστά. Ἄν καὶ εἰς τινὰς λέξεις ἐστὶν ὀλίγη διαφορά, ἀλλ’ ἡ αὐτὴ διαφορὰ ἦτον καὶ εἰς τοὺς προπάτορας ἡμῶν. Ἄλλως γὰρ ὡμίλουν οἱ Ἀττικοί, ἄλλως οἱ Αἰολεῖς, ἄλλως οἱ Ἴωνες καὶ ἄλλως οἱ Δωριεῖς. Ὅθεν αὐτὴ ἡ νῦν γλῶσσα ἡμῶν εἶναι ἕνας Κλῶνος, ἕνας βλαστὸς καὶ μία διάλεκτος τῆς παλαιᾶς ἡμῶν γλώσσης"
