You Don't Hate AI Enough​

Jun 2, 2026 #vinland #vikingos #vikings
Most people don't hate AI enough. Any why is it that old people think AI is so cool?
Bjorn Talks explores the ethical implications of using artificial intelligence in creative fields, focusing on the theft of intellectual property and the erosion of human artistry. This discussion examines why relying on these tools hampers skill development and why authentic, human-generated content remains vital in online spaces like YouTube.

China launches world's first commercial underwater data center powered by wind​

  • China submerged nearly 2,000 AI servers beneath the ocean near Shanghai
  • Seawater now cools Chinese AI servers without traditional industrial chillers operating continuously
  • China connected offshore wind farms directly to an underwater artificial intelligence facility
China has begun commercial operations at an underwater data center where sealed server modules operate beneath the ocean using seawater for passive cooling.

SAM ALTMAN HAS A NEW PROBLEM. 🤯

Google just shrunk 31GB of AI memory down to 4GB.

The tool is called TurboVec.

It uses up to 16x less memory, searches faster than FAISS, runs fully offline, and works on a regular Mac.

No expensive GPU cluster.
No cloud dependency.
No compromise on speed.

→ 16x lower memory usage
→ Faster vector search
→ Works with LangChain & LlamaIndex
→ 100% open source

The race to build bigger AI models is loud.

The race to make them dramatically cheaper just got a lot more interesting.

Inside Colossus 2: The First Gigawatt AI Cluster

Elon Just Won the Compute War (Nobody Noticed)​

 


Elon Musk just made one if the biggest moves in taking over the programming industry

“SpaceX just bought Cursor for $60 billion. Do you realize how big this is? SpaceX went public — the biggest IPO in history. $75 billion raised, almost a $2 trillion valuation and the first thing to do with that money? Buy the most popular AI coding tool on the planet.

Here's why that changes everything. Elon now owns 3 layers: the compute, Colossus data centers, the models, Grok through xAI, and now the tool that developers actually use every day. It's the full stack.

And here's what makes Cursor different from Claude Code or Codex.

Cursor is model agnostic. You can run Claude in it, GPT, Gemini, whatever model you want. It's not locked to any one company, and now it has SpaceX's resources behind it. Cursor said they were bottlenecked by compute. Well, that bottleneck has just been removed.

$4 billion in annual revenue, over half the Fortune 500 already uses it, and now it's backed by a $2 trillion company. OpenAI has Codex, Anthropic has Claude Code, and now Elon has Cursor.”

Let me break this down in simple terms

Elon Musk now controls more of the full AI picture:

- Massive computers, power (data centers like Colossus)
- Smart AI models (Grok from xAI)
- The actual tool millions of developers use every day (Cursor)

For every day users this means

Faster and smarter apps and websites in the future. More developers using powerful AI tools means new apps, games, websites, and features get built quicker and cheaper. This means better video games, smoother streaming, smarter phone apps and better programs

For Developers they can describe what they want in plain English (“make a feature that does X”) and the AI handles more of the heavy lifting

Translation:

I was stunned by a post: a 21-year-old American college student earned $43,000 a month with an AI virtual girlfriend. He created an account called Maya on OnlyFans. This Maya, 22 years old, tagged as a UCF psychology dropout, had 1247 paid subscribers, with the highest single follower spending $1847. But the most crucial point is that the girl in the photos doesn't actually exist.

Federal AI security center measure advanced by House Science

A measure that would put into law a key federal office focused on artificial intelligence advanced Thursday out of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, as part of a slate of AI-focused and data center bills. The committee advanced the bills on a bipartisan basis, but put off...

CEO of $248 billion cybersecurity company says workers are about to face a 'Darwinian moment' thanks to AI: Evolve or get cut​

As AI automates routine tasks and redefines entire roles, the tools are creating a new workplace survival test—one where workers must evolve, or risk being left in the dust. Palo Alto Networks CEO Nikesh Arora warns that 90% of employees at big companies aren’t AI savvy—and it could determine the fate of their careers in the new world.

“I think we’re back to a Darwinian moment where everybody has to figure out who’s really good,” Arora said recently during an episode of the 20VC podcast.

“[Workers] have to learn. I can’t send them to university; there’s no course you can take in any school anywhere,” he added. “They have to be able to learn on their own.
