Protesters rallied outside the US Embassy in Tokyo after a US Marine was arrested over the killing of a 39-year-old woman in Okinawa. The angry demonstrations have revived calls to reduce the US military footprint on an island hosting about 70% of US military facilities in Japan.

Quem trabalha precisa de tempo para descansar, cuidar da família e viver com dignidade. É por isso que defendo o fim da escala 6x1, com cinco dias de trabalho e dois de descanso.
É um desejo muito grande da sociedade brasileira. É preciso dar civilidade ao mundo do trabalho e, sobretudo, à jornada de trabalho, para criar condições da família poder viver mais tranquila.
Na hora que o Senado começar a votar, a máscara vai começar a cair e a gente vai ver quem efetivamente quer que o povo tenha uma vida mais digna.

You should be able to use smarter models in your agent.
You should be able to use cheaper models in your agent.
You should be able to use local models in your agent.
You should be able to use a different model for every job.
You should be able to switch models in the middle of a conversation.
You should be able to choose what data your agent has.
You should be able to choose what it remembers and what it forgets.
You should be able to choose what computer your agent runs on.
You should be able to run it on a machine that never touches the internet.
You should be able to run it while your laptop is closed.
You should be able to reach it from the apps you already use.
You should be able to choose how your agent thinks.
You should be able to read the prompt it runs on.
You should be able to see every tool it has, and turn off the ones you don't want.
You should be able to teach it something once and never explain it again.
You should be able to know what it did, and when, and why.
You should be able to export your agent.
You should be able to read the code.
You should be able to change the code.
Your agent should be yours.

I had way too much fun using Claude to create a reply video.
- Extremely fun to be able to convert scattered thoughts and ideas into a song + video
- Creating this took <1 hour of my time (in occasionally steering the model in between other things)
- But it took ~10 hours of wall clock time for the agent to generate the video + iteratively refine it based on feedback
- In terms of AI usage: it required only a small number of Suno credits and 10% weekly usage of a Claude Max subscription (I was using Opus 5.5)

this guy fucking called this months ago.
openai asked researchers to come use their models and do research with them.
now, a few months later:
math researchers getting fucking scooped by the lab they trusted with their work.
what a fucking precedent.

AI servers will burn 175 TWh of electricity in 2026, up from 95 TWh last year. That is Gartner's forecast, and it is nearly double in a single year.
The industry's answer is more gigawatts. Ours is fewer.
Parallax trained a 20B model on cheap, mismatched GPUs to within about 2% of a datacenter baseline. Efficiency is not a nice-to-have. It is survival.

Your AI chats don't belong to you. They belong to whoever's server they sit on.
Proof: in January 2026 a federal judge ordered OpenAI to hand 20 million private ChatGPT conversations to lawyers in the NYT copyright case. The original demand was 1.4 billion. An earlier order forced OpenAI to keep chats users had deleted.
The court's reasoning: you gave your words to a company, so they're discoverable.
On Chutes, TEE inference means the GPU operators serving the model can't see your prompts or outputs. Words nobody holds can't be subpoenaed.
who should own your chat history?

Nvidia put $420M into $TAO with 77% of it staked.
Polychain added $200M on top of that.
Grayscale and Bitwise both filed for spot TAO ETFs in the same quarter.
The network generated $43M in real AI revenue last quarter from actual usage, not speculation.
Most people are still treating this like a small cap gamble while institutions are treating it like infrastructure.
The people who understand what is being built here will not need anyone to explain the price later.

Members of Iran’s Jewish community standing in the rubble of their synagogue in Tehran.
Bombed by Israel.
On Passover.
Iran is home to the largest Jewish population in the Middle East outside of Israel. They have lived there for 2,700 years.
This is who Israel bombed on the holiest night of the Jewish calendar.

Online attention around the Epstein files has dropped sharply since the US and Israel began attacking Iran, even as new documents continue to emerge.
Al Jazeera’s Ava Warriner looks at what the data shows.
