The Terminator, after taking over the 439 biggest American cities, arriving at the city limits of Bloomington, Indiana, and discovering the city council has voted 7-0 against allowing it to continue with its plans:
Bloomington, Indiana, has banned artificial superintelligence.
The city council voted 7–0 to bar superintelligent AI within city limits, including through apps and browsers. Violators face fines and possible prosecution.
Lifting the ban would take approval from more than 95% of registered voters.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Bloomington's ordinance bans only hypothetical future superintelligent AI systems that vastly exceed human cognition across nearly all domains with recursive self-improvement and autonomy, not current AI technologies.

Traveling through the heart of Texghanistan soon?
Here's what to know before you go:
- Named after founder Sadam F. Austin, this hamlet is the seat of power for a government that has recently experienced regime change
- The State Department has not issued a travel advisory. But be sure to check back before your pilgrimage
- In the central district of Sharm al-Austin sits the caliphate's capitol, pictured at center, standing 14 feet taller than America's. This is a point of immense pride for the local peoples
- To the east lies the DMZ (I-35). To the west lies MoPac, a passageway the western districts built to escape the DMZ. Locals warn that the devil controls this road, called MoPac. Either route can take you north to Al-Buqqi; neither guarantees you will arrive
- The dirt roads are filled with roving packs of unemployed, unkempt youth. Avoid these "run clubs" at all costs - they are among the most restive elements of the province's indigenous and migratory populations
- A Green Zone covers the city, where coalition forces patrol the roads alongside local motorists. Search "geofence" on Tesla Robotaxi or Waymo for the latest territories
- Armored vehicles are standard issue here. The preferred model is the Cybertruck
- Beef is halal if smoked long enough. Plastic straws are haram. Breakfast tacos are always halal at all times
- The bats launch from under Bab al-Congress at sundown. This is their air force
Follow this advice and you should be just fine, inshallah 🙏

Ladies, if your man:
> loiters around for way too long
> is always somewhere he shouldn't be
> says he's just "trying things" & "collecting data"
> mysteriously drops things off and picks them back up
> insists it's all technology verification for the peaceful use of the stratosphere and low earth orbit
he's not your man. he's a CCP asset
did you miss out on SpaceX? relax. there are plenty of other ways to play the space economy. here are some of the best space investors of the last decade:
- operators who bulk-bought Falcon 9 launch slots that they didn't need
- "speculatooors" who sniped and squatted on prime spectrum bands
- landmen who bought within 20 miles of Boca Chica
- hobbyists who stockpiled RD-180s before Congress noticed
- tinkerers with a garage full of noble gases in 2021
- silent partners in studios rendering physics-defying spacecraft
- Rwanda
- Santa Claus (owns land in Svalbard)
what are some other examples?

an Irishman GuinnessBenchmaxxing
SOTA perf in pints-per-podcast-hour
this is lindy, this is leadership. bullish on @Willob and Ulysses
Who would have thought that it took a 29-year-old Irishman to put the teetotalers of San Francisco in their place
I have been training to competitively drink Guinness for decades
I was born for this
Sorry @elonmusk

Big news, Texas! We're opening Constellation Park, a new 1.3-million-square-foot manufacturing complex and bringing 2,000 jobs to Hutto, TX, to support TeraWave and Quartz. The campus will house manufacturing for key Blue Origin subsystems, including solar arrays, avionics, telecommunications, and other satellite hardware.

Array Labs is a @ycombinator company. Today we're back with the YC community in Washington, DC for "The Startup Industrial Base: Building for the Next 250."
@andrewpetrsonn will be speaking at 1:50 PM ET.
a brave new age for formation flight
birds → fighter wings → nextgen constellations
watch this space :)
Project Suncatcher is launching a prototype datacenter satellite October 1st on a SpaceX Falcon 9. Some new info in this NYT report: plans for a flock of more than 80 networked satellites flying in formation, and a custom satellite the length of a soccer field.
