Dutch Spies Hacked Jared Kushner’s iPhone: Proof he transferred at least $2 billion into accounts intended for international deals or “personal benefit.”

Not sure, but there was apparently $1 billion in a secret Israeli bank:

"Cole also learned of another account, which unlike Alpha may not have been known to the Dutch. MBZ allegedly transferred about $1 billion to a separate Israeli Central Bank account, Beta, that one source characterized as an allocation “for Kushner’s personal benefit.” Here emerges one of the most bizarre details: According to Cole, Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu recommended Kushner use the Israeli Central Bank in the first place. This situation ended up with Kushner being required to notify Netanyahu before using the Beta account for any transfers or transactions."

Is anyone self-hosting their own AI?

I am actually very interested in the news feed thing. How do you find duplicates in the news feeds? Wouldn't you have to pull the actual articles and then have MB of data to shift through which would exceed the window? Do you use a vector DB? Do you just have it use curl or do you pay for an Internet API service?

Everything is a scam now

Congratulations on being able to run an completely ethical business - it can't be easy. I say that non-sarcastically.

I think one of the many issue which has lead to the state we are in now is that it's often impossible to tell the true quality or value of a product before buying it. So simply buying something more expensive is no guarantee of a better product, because the optimal strategy for an unethical business is to sell the cheapest possible product at the highest possible volume x price.

Russian search engine Yandex struggles after Ukrainian strikes on data centres

Louisiana's new META datacenter is estimated to cost $140-$250 billion dollars once fully deployed (~$100B for the AI accelerators alone) [1]. Imagine being able to destroy $140B-$250B with a missile strike! There would be ripples through the whole world economy.

[1] Sample price info source where cost can be extrapolated: https://epoch.ai/data/ai-data-centers/directory/meta-hyperion Scaling its $61.8 billion projection from 1.63 GW to the full 5 GW produces approximately $189 billion.

Russian data centre hit by drone in first for Ukraine war

This is interesting to me from a consequence perspective. I think hitting datacenters is going to be the next big thing. I just posted the following in another thread:
