1/ Everyone's chasing bigger models. DeepSeek shipped something quieter that might matter more: DSpark. No new flagship, no reasoning breakthrough. Just their existing V4 stack running 60–85% faster, with zero quality loss. How it works 🧵

First, the White House doesn't date back to July 4, 1776, idiot. It opened on November 1, 1800. Second, the tackiest man in the United States and its president should *not* be the same person. Third, nice inspiration, fascist.

1/8 Earlier this year you could buy a Mac Studio with 512GB of unified memory. Today the top config maxes out at 96GB. The high-memory machines didn't just get pricier. They quietly disappeared. Here's what's happening with the 2026 memory crisis 🧵

1/ 5:21 PM Eastern, Friday June 12. The US government picked up a phone and shut down the most capable AI model anyone had ever used. Globally. For everyone. Including the foreign-national researchers who built it. I spent the weekend digging in. 🧵

A study finds that an mRNA vaccine is highly effective at preventing recurrence of this dangerous skin cancer, when used in combination with Keytruda, an immunotherapy drug. n.pr/4u3FHCZ

Reaction prediction models are only as good as the reaction data they learn from. This paper is worth a look: CompleteRXN: Toward Completing Open Chemical Reaction Databases 1/5 arxiv.org/html/2605.00...

1/ Uber burned its entire 2026 AI budget by April. ServiceNow did the same. KPMG says U.S. orgs project $207M average AI spend over the next 12 months — nearly 2x last year. The all-you-can-eat era of AI coding tools is over. The deadline matters.

Agent “skills” may be the next serious optimization layer. SkillOpt treats a reusable best_skill.md not as static documentation, but as something you can train. Frozen agent runs tasks → optimizer reviews traces → proposes bounded skill edits → held-out eval accepts only improvements.

Festus, Missouri just removed every council member who approved a $6B AI data center. All four. Gone. 70% of Americans now oppose data centers in their local area. That's already past the peak opposition to nuclear power plants. Ever. The tech industry calls it NIMBYism. They're misreading it.

102 organic chemists shown real vs AI-generated molecules. Couldn't tell them apart — 62% accuracy ≈ random. That's CoCoGraph: graph diffusion with 100% chemical validity, 534K params vs 4.6M for comparable models. Constraints in the math, not the model. www.nature.com/articles/s42...

K-Dense released 134 scientific skills for AI coding agents, incl. #rdkit, molecular property prediction, VS, ADMET analysis, molecular docking. Open source, works with Claude Code/Cursor/Codex… github.com/K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-skills #cheminformatics #RDKit #AIagents #drugdiscovery

Anthropic leaked Claude Code source to npm. KAIROS (unreleased autonomous agent), "Undercover mode" (AI hides it's AI), and irony that their own AI-written toolchain caused it. "A significant portion was probably written by the AI you're shipping."

Billionaire Howard Marks questioned if AI was a bubble. Then he watched it build itself. Level 3 arrived: AI gets goals, not instructions. Your survival: Pivot to novelty, cultivate judgment, become the orchestrator. #AI #AutonomousAgents #TechInnovation medium.com/activated-th...

Me: "I'll just try @OpenClaw for a quick task" *48 hours later:* My AI has extracted 46 plant care guides from OneNote, filed a bug report on Moltbook, and is tracking my bloodwork trends. I have created a monster. A very organized monster. ????

FOX REPORTER: “The way it felt in the room was not good. It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled, got right into what he wanted to say, got his photo next to the president, then left.”

Quick summary of the Alaska Summit: -Putin played Trump like a fat orange fiddle - - er... that's it

So it sounds like Trump is going to give Putin another two weeks, on top of the ten days he gave him instead of the original 50 days he gave him, after the two weeks he gave him following the first two weeks he gave him. TACO Trump strikes again.

So Starship Ship 36 just detonated *before* the static fire test - fueled and waiting for the test. Looks like the top tank lets go and sets off the whole stack. It would be bad enough if it let go during the static fire test, but it just blew up. And it's cooking off the fuel tanks on the pad.
