Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang to Chancellor Merz:
I've also heard you say that you want to find that balance between innovation and regulation.
There's nothing to regulate if the industry doesn't thrive.

Electric car fleets displaced 200 million barrels of crude oil in the six months following the start of the Hormuz energy crisis, saving oil-importing countries $20bn 📉
EVs are a powerful lever for reducing vulnerability to fossil supply disruptions ⚡

Jensen Huang in London, asked what’s holding back AI in the UK. Chips: “easy to solve, because we have it.” Infrastructure: being built. Energy: “very challenging in the UK. We got to solve that. Without energy, there’s no industry. Without industry, there’s no economic prosperity.”
He’s right. AI is a manufacturing industry. Energy goes in, tokens come out. You can have every scientist in the world (and the UK has a lot of them, DeepMind is here for a reason) but if the power isn’t there, nothing gets built on top. This is why we decided to build Fuse in the UK as our first market. The UK has some of the most expensive electricity in the developed world, and that cost sits under every industry we want to build here, AI included. Cheap, abundant power is not an energy sector problem. It is the growth problem.

Jensen traces Taiwan's chip dominance back to an unlikely source: Philips, the Dutch consumer electronics giant he calls "the GE of Europe."
Philips, he says, is "the parent company that spun the fab that became TSMC, and spun off the semiconductor manufacturing equipment that became ASML."
The seed was planted in the 1950s by K.T. Li, who set out to bring science and technology manufacturing to Taiwan and lured Philips over. Then came perfect timing with the PC revolution: IBM opened the specs for IBM compatible chipsets, and Taiwanese engineers took that open spec and designed the chipsets "manufactured at TSMC and UMC." That is what made the PC industry possible.
A young Michael Dell just "bought motherboards from Taiwan, assembled them into a PC," and became a PC maker.

And now I’m going to tell you f̶r̶o̶m̶ w̶h̶i̶c̶h̶ d̶i̶r̶e̶c̶t̶i̶o̶n̶s̶ t̶h̶e̶ a̶t̶t̶a̶c̶k̶ o̶n̶ B̶e̶l̶a̶r̶u̶s̶ w̶a̶s̶ b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ p̶r̶e̶p̶a̶r̶e̶d̶ what’s actually going to happen instead of all this hysterical white noise desperately trying to drown out the inevitable:
The Orange Man is going to lose the elections with a deafening crash, and spend the rest of his time in office, along with his entire administration, desperately fending off a third impeachment, countless investigations, and criminal prosecutions for all his wild antics. And all this pompous posturing will finally come to an end.
As for Putin, he can play Stalin all he wants, fantasize endlessly about carving up the world into three spheres of influence at some imaginary new “Yalta,” and unleash as many hordes of bots on social media as he likes.
But when, at the end of the fifth year of your glorious blitzkrieg against Ukraine, you’re still banging your head against Mala Tokmachka, suffering your second defeat at Lyman, while Ukraine is bombing Moscow and St. Petersburg, and when you’re 1.5% of the global economy, all these fantasies can only impress a handful of useful idiots from Elon Musk’s freak show.
And the man sitting next to him at this imaginary Yalta is, to put it mildly, no Roosevelt. He’s a semi-coherent, half-con artist from trashy reality TV who has failed spectacularly in Iran and has no idea how to get away with that.
As for the Chinese emperor, it’s not even clear why he would want to take part in this lunatic circus in the first place, let alone share power with these people.

I spent a year and a half making this. Taught myself Blender to do it. At no point did I consider using gen AI to speed up my workflow. Because the end product is not the point. Art is about the process. I learned a lot. Time well spent

DeepSeek v4.1 Flash 1017 FULLY UNCENSORED.
No cheap system prompts, no cheap template tricks, no lora or runtime bs, no sft. Model’s capabilities preserved as much as possible.
Complies with all requests on low/max reasoning efforts.
I’ll be making NVFP4 and a ~2.8bpw version for 2x DGX Sparks soon too.

“we will pay any price….to assure the success and survival of liberty.” Is this still true? Do we prize liberty or do we prize power and purse? No more clear test than the choice between Ukraine and Russia. Abandon Ukraine and we abandon liberty. Eventually even our own.

🇪🇺 Europa walczy o dominację w przemysłowej AI.
Większość uwagi świata skupia się na amerykańskich chatbotach i modelach językowych, a europejskie koncerny mają niezwykle silną pozycję w technologiach sterujących rzeczywistą gospodarką.
🇩🇪 Siemens, 🇫🇷 Schneider Electric i🇨🇭ABB kontrolują łącznie około 40-50% światowego rynku sterowników przemysłowych PLC, odpowiadających za działanie maszyn i linii produkcyjnych.
W globalnym zestawieniu największych dostawców automatyki przemysłowej według przychodów za 2025 r. europejskie firmy zajmują 3 miejsca w pierwszej 4.
Teraz zamierzają wykorzystać tę pozycję w rewolucji AI.
Schneider Electric ogłosił przejęcie amerykańskiego PTC za niemal 24 mld dolarów. Siemens przejął amerykański Altair Engineering za około 10 mld dolarów i rozwija przemysłową AI wspólnie z Nvidią.
Europejczycy mają również mocną pozycję na rynku infrastruktury centrów danych.
Największym atutem Europy mogą okazać się jednak dane przemysłowe.
Europejskie koncerny od dziesięcioleci dostarczają systemy sterowania fabrykami, elektrowniami i infrastrukturą. Posiadają doświadczenie i dostęp do danych operacyjnych, które mogą posłużyć do rozwoju zaawansowanej sztucznej inteligencji przemysłowej.
Według badania Europejskiego Banku Inwestycyjnego (2025 r.):
Robotyzacja produkcji:
🇪🇺 UE - 55%
🇺🇸 USA - 36%
AI i analiza dużych zbiorów danych w przedsiębiorstwach przemysłowych:
🇪🇺 UE - 48%
🇺🇸 USA - 28%
Jutro z kolei (19 października), Siemens i Nvidia zaprezentują w Erlangen postępy wspólnego projektu stworzenia fabryk w całości obsługiwaną przez AI. Będę o tym informował.

Appears to be absolutely MASSIVE protests all across the US yesterday and this platform is so skewed to the Trump/Putin side that this is the first I've seen or heard of it.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The montage uses recycled footage from larger 2025 and March 2026 No Kings protests, not Oct 17 2026 Vote Early events. Those were smaller localized gatherings (hundreds to thousands per city) focused on early voting, not the massive crowds shown.

马斯克自吞恶果：
针对乌克兰限速的事件引发一连串连锁反应，导致SpaceX股价下跌损失286亿美元，特斯拉市值则直接损失350亿至380亿美元。
意大利政府因限速事件，暂停了价值16.3亿美元的星链采购谈判；德国政府决定加速发展自己的军用卫星系统；欧盟表示限速事件证明了欧洲急需星链的替代方案；美国两党参议员们正式发函要求进行正式调查……
亲普京打压乌克兰的邪恶之举，与历史上任何恶行一样，将付出高昂甚至是自我毁灭的代价！

So it’s official: Reuters has confirmed that the White House gave the order to disrupt Starlink so Russia could attack Kyiv with no advanced warning. The US aided and abetted Putin’s killing of numerous civilians in Ukraine. Trump’s a traitor, a Russian asset who is using US military technology to help our enemy.
