How interesting, you could say these were the very first memes (1921).

Thiel was a cofounder of payments group PayPal and Palantir, a defence contractor known for mass surveillance and criticised heavily for its “strategic partnership” with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in its assault on Gaza.

A leaked schedule for the “retreat” hosted by Dialog, an invitation-only group cofounded 20 years ago by Thiel and entrepreneur Auren Hoffman, featured discussions on topics including preparations for a third world war, battlefield technologies, nuclear energy and cult-building.

Totally normal, nothing to see here. Just a business meeting!

Another Atlantic article that appears to hit.

The TLDR is if you seek higher cognition and use AI as a tool alongside that practice you’ll be fine. If you lean on AI to avoid cognition then you’ll backslide into the primordial goo as a person.

Apple on Friday accused OpenAI of stealing secrets about products still in development, setting up a legal face-off between two of the world’s biggest tech companies.

In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, the consumer tech giant said that OpenAI, a leader in artificial intelligence that has a new hardware business, had asked job candidates from Apple to share details about secret projects and to bring device components and prototypes to their interviews.

Apple also accused an OpenAI employee of downloading internal documents from a laptop owned by the iPhone maker.

OpenAI used the confidential information to approach Apple’s manufacturing partners, including asking one partner to demonstrate Apple’s technique for finishing metal on its devices, the lawsuit says.

• Full Report(93 Pages PDF);
• Short Executive Summary & Key Excerpts(PDF);

How are terrorists using AI? Semi-structured interviews with 27 former Boko Haram members conducted in northeast Nigeria in 2025 and 2026 reveal unprecedented detail about AI-assisted terrorist activity primarily through 2024.

This report finds that both factions of Boko Haram use frontier AI, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, Meta AI, and DeepSeek, to assist in combat and day-to-day operations. This AI use is institutionalized through specialized units and internal training. It has aided in attack planning, weapons troubleshooting, and the design of explosive devices, as users have successfully circumvented some safeguards. This know-how was transferred through transnational jihadist networks, with Islamic State operatives delivering in-person training. Respondents expressed strong enthusiasm for AI and, in some cases, openness to mass-casualty weapons, though documented use remains conventional.

Terrorist adoption of AI has thus advanced further and more systematically than prior analysis has recognized, making it a present and growing reality that warrants attention from policymakers, security communities, and AI developers.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) announced on Saturday a major research partnership with a prominent European nanoelectronics research institute. The collaboration will focus on developing advanced 3D integrated circuit (IC) packaging technologies to meet the demands of next-generation high-performance computing and artificial intelligence chips.

The joint research program will utilize the European institute’s specialized cleanroom facilities and TSMC’s state-of-the-art silicon fabrication expertise. By stacking semiconductor layers vertically, 3D packaging technology allows for significantly faster data transmission speeds, reduced power consumption, and increased transistor density compared to traditional flat, 2D chip layouts.

This partnership comes as major semiconductor manufacturers race to overcome the physical limitations of traditional silicon scaling. Advanced packaging has emerged as a critical technological frontier, with major tech firms investing heavily in proprietary architectures to support complex, multi-layered chip designs required for hyperscale data centers.

Infineon Technologies has opened its Smart Power Fab in Dresden, Germany, months ahead of schedule, bringing the world’s largest manufacturing facility for intelligent power semiconductors and analog/mixed-signal technologies into operation.

The facility represents a €5 billion (about $5.7 billion) investment, the largest in the company’s history. It creates 1,000 direct jobs and doubles Infineon’s manufacturing capacity in Dresden.

The factory will produce chips that improve how electricity is converted and managed. Those devices will support AI data centers. They will also help power electricity grids and software-defined vehicles.
