#Trump said Friday that he’s immediately suspending #trade talks with #Canada over its plans to continue with its tax on #technology firms, which he called “a direct & blatant attack on our country.”
Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Canadians had just informed the #US it would stick to its plan to impose the tax set to take effect Monday.

“ProPublica’s reporting revealed these cancelled contracts were delivering essential services … and exposed the cruel and dumb AI formulas DOGE bros used to cancel contracts,” Sen. Blumenthal said. “Veterans and all Americans deserve transparency.”

MageGee MK-Box 65% Mechanical Wired Computer Keyboard Review
A comprehensive review of the MageGee MK-Box mechanical computer keyboard covering overview, keycaps, switches, specifications, shortcuts and more.
Running Deepseek R1 671b fully locally on a $2000 EPYC server. Idle wattage is just 60w while with 260w under load.
This setup runs a 671B model in Q4 quantization at 3-4 TPS, running a Q8 would need something beefier. To run a 671B model in the original Q8 at 6-8 TPS you'd need a dual socket EPYC server motherboard with 768GB of RAM.
The idea that LLMs use an inordinate amount of power to run is very much outdated at this point.

What is Donald Trump's plan for AI? @brianmerchant read his Action Plan and executive orders and watched his speech. Here's what he learned. "Broadly speaking, the plan is that the Trump administration will help Silicon Valley put the pedal down on AI, delivering customers, data centers and power, as long as it operates in accordance with Trump’s ideological frameworks; i.e., as long as the AI is anti-woke," Merchant writes for his Blood in the Machine newsletter. "It’s above all a blueprint for consolidated control, a vision where worker power withers, citizens become subservient to AI; to its corporate masters and federal overseers, where fossil fuels are ushered again into prominence at the height of the climate crisis, and democracy is sidelined in favor of automation technologies. It is, in summary, pretty grim!"

Recent comic: Cutting out the Middleman
I suspect that some readers might interpret this cartoon as a call for Luddism, but mostly it's a reflection of thoughts I've been having lately about out-of-control data harvesting and a growing surveillance state.

Is Microsoft Windows Recall the worst AI idea? Share your experience!

Last month, job boards for actors were flooded with ads looking for people to record “conversations, character voices, and natural speech to help train AI systems," for a project by Microsoft. Payment was orders of magnitude more than a normal acting gig — up to $80,000, where a national ad campaign for a big brand might ordinarily pay $6,000. @404mediaco's Rosie Thomas spoke to voice actors about the "Faustian bargain" of accepting such roles. "You're still taking away tomorrow's meal because they're offering you a little bit more,” says Katie Clark Gray.
