Personal view: The UK is too small a country to compete with the US and China on its own. 100k AI chips by 2030 is uncompetitive. We need to work with our EU friends if we really want to be "AI makers and not AI takers". #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺 on.ft.com/43RMZ1A

I am saddened by protesters against Israel's entry for #Eurovision. Israel is not Russia. Israel didn't start the war. More importantly, most Israelis (68%) wants a hostage deal that will end the war. If we want peace, protest against Netanyahu, not Israel. www.timesofisrael.com/poll-61-of-i...

🇨🇦 Congratulations, Canada! I don't know if you could have delivered a stronger rejection to Trump than this. Wow. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cr... #CanadaStrong

🇨🇦 Canadian friends. No matter what Pierre Poilievre said, Trump will interpret every vote for the Conservatives as a vote for Canada to become the 51st state. If you value your independence, voting Liberal is the only way. Good luck, Your friends in Europe #CanadaStrong

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

A lot of DeepSeek's models are running on other people's infrastructure so I won't judge them purely on app store rankings. BUT we will see if hardware matters as the new Google Trillium TPUs, Nvidia GB200/300, and Amazon Trainium2 are deployed *at scale* in 2H 2025 / 1H 2026.

U.S. - not China - is winning by a mile as reasoning models are eating the world. China is going to fall WAY further behind as NV72 - NVL 144 - NVL 576 roll out during the next two years. It is not going to be close.
