Recent announcements, including the US$9.6 billion Japan chip plant, have fueled optimism but don’t materially change the current biggest short-term catalyst, tight global memory chip supply, or the main risk of continued heavy capital spending weighing on cash flow and margin stability.Micron’s investment in the Hiroshima facility may be the most relevant recent announcement, as it enhances the company's manufacturing capacity for advanced memory, positioning it to serve fast-growing AI and data center markets. While this addresses demand surges, it also reinforces the importance of prudent capital allocation given memory market volatility and ongoing competition impacting returns.

A startling new study says Artificial Intelligence may be close to replacing many jobs for humans, and many jobs occupied by lawyers as well."AI is a wonderful tool that can help people in many amazing ways," explained lead researcher Stan Marsden. "But we worry it will soon replace a significant number of jobs that humans hold in the workplace. It might also take jobs from lawyers and other non-human entities as well." The study showed a startling trend as AI replaces human-held jobs at a faster and faster rate. Job experts worry that many humans and lawyers might be out...

Every creator on X is playing a game they were never told the rules to. Your reach isn’t dying by accident. It’s being scored, tiered, and throttled behind your back. If advertisers decide your ideas are “unsafe,” the algorithm buries you before your own followers ever see a word. ===================================================================== BRIEFING Jett here. Everyone feels like something changed on X, like the lights dimmed on certain voices and mysteriously brightened on others. It’s starting to feel like that commie Jack is running the show again. Let’s get into it. X isn’t just a public square anymore. Apparently, it’s a scoring...

Excited lanyard guys at a trade show smile at a Unitree humanoid robot © davide bonaldo via Shutterstock Can everyone dial it down a little with the enthusiasm for humanoid robots that can’t even do anything useful yet? You’re scaring the Chinese economy. On Thursday, three Bloomberg reporters based in Beijing reported on an usual government announcement from China’s economic central planning department, the National Development and Reform Commission (it has no U.S. equivalent, so don’t even ask): the commission had noticed a pattern of dozens upon dozens of Chinese firms pushing out humanoid robots that do essentially nothing, and...

The next time you notice a pigeon acting suspiciously, you may need to notify the authorities, as news broke this week that Russia had launched a flock of remote-controlled cyborg spy pigeons. Putin scientists unveil 'spy pigeons fitted with brain implants and cameras that can be controlled like drones' https://t.co/t1lUBm1zAf— Daily Mail (@DailyMail) November 27, 2025This confirms what many had long feared: the pigeons cannot be trusted. As reported by the Daily Mail: A state-linked Moscow neurotechnology firm boasts its operators can steer flocks of the flying pests across the sky at will. Researchers have launched field tests of so-called...

A new labor market analysis from Massachusetts Institute of Technology suggests that artificial intelligence is no longer a future threat to jobs. It is already capable of performing tasks tied to 11.7 percent of total U.S. wages. That represents as much as $1.2 trillion in economic exposure across major sectors including finance, health care, logistics and professional services. The findings come from a newly developed labor simulation system known as the Iceberg Index. The project was built jointly by MIT and Oak Ridge National Laboratory and models how today’s AI tools interact with the real American workforce at a granular,...

There were an older era of "analog" audio recordings, produced in the old "waveform", analog audio computer application program, "Audacity". They were functionally supported by a "metronome", a "click track" or a "rhythm track". With a lot of concentration and some luck, a performance could be produced that would satisfy pianists, critics and teachers. The metronome needed to be used to set the basic tempo, but if it were doubled in speed to correspond with the smallest "note" value in a piece (an eighth note in a 6/8 example piece with longer/bigger quarter notes and dotted quarter notes, a typical...

Cracker Barrel's embattled CEO has complained that she was 'fired by America' in a new interview. Julie Felss Masino, the restaurant's president and chief executive officer, was saved by investors last week after 75 percent of shares were cast in her favor. The vote came after Masino's controversial efforts to give the brand a 'woke' revamp. In an interview with The Blaze's Glenn Beck, Masino discussed her leadership role. 'This is probably very unfair to ask you. Were you surprised you weren't fired?' Beck asked. 'Um, I feel like I've been fired by America,' Masino said with a laugh. 'That's...

The ex-mistress of Eric Schmidt has accused the former Google CEO of rape and spying on her with hidden cameras while she was naked — even as he allegedly subjected her to creepy surveillance and humiliating comments at the tech startup they operated together. Michelle Ritter, a 31-year-old tech entrepreneur, detailed the allegations in a filing last week in Los Angeles County Superior Court, claiming 70-year-old Schmidt subjected her to sexual battery, harassment, domestic violence, and violations of computer hacking and wiretapping laws. Last month, The Post broke the story of the bitter legal spat, which stems from a relationship...

We've got movie sign! Happy Thanksgiving every one

Like them we should ask: ‘What is this tool for and what does it make us become?’ As new technology, AI and the internet take over 21st-century life, I suggest looking to the Amish for guidance. Far from being the Luddites most folk assume, the Amish undertake a guided policy of technological discernment.When a new practice or device emerges into the world, the elders often gather to test it out over a set period of time. The entire process rests upon this deceptively simple inquiry – “What is this tool for and what does it make us become?” All...

A comprehensive communication-scanning regime would allow national authorities to identify political opponents far more quickly -- a tool capable of making life hell for anyone inconvenient to those in power. It is Ursula von der Leyen’s personal flagship project: the surveillance of private chats. All signs suggest that as early as Wednesday, the EU will make a renewed attempt to establish a dedicated spying authority. Wednesday could mark a turning point in the history of the European Union. As MCC Brussels and MEP Martin Sonneborn warned on Monday, a decisive vote on the EU’s proposed “chat control” is scheduled for...

Advocates for transparency on social media cheered this weekend when X, the app owned by tech billionaire Elon Musk, rolled out a new feature that disclosed what the company said were the country locations of accounts. The feature appeared to unmask a number of accounts that were portraying themselves as belonging to Americans but in reality were based in countries such as India, Thailand and Bangladesh.But by Monday, the effectiveness and accuracy of the feature were already in question, as security experts, social media researchers and two former X employees said the location information could be inaccurate or spoofed using...

Hashtag-do-whatever-I-tell-youCato Networks says it has discovered a new attack, dubbed "HashJack," that hides malicious prompts after the "#" in legitimate URLs, tricking AI browser assistants into executing them while dodging traditional network and server-side defenses. Prompt injection occurs when something causes text that the user didn't write to become commands for an AI bot. Direct prompt injection happens when unwanted text gets entered at the point of prompt input, while indirect injection happens when content, such as a web page or PDF that the bot has been asked to summarize, contains hidden commands that AI then follows as if...

Findings are "important milestone" in a field where AI has yet to prove clinical use, expert saysKey Takeaways -In a confirmatory study, AI achieved statistically non-inferior and superior performance in detecting pancreatic cancer compared with a pool of participating radiologists. -At matched sensitivity levels, the AI system reduced the number of false positives compared with radiologists. -AI could help diagnose pancreatic cancer sooner, and more accurately, an expert suggested. -An artificial intelligence (AI) system outperformed radiologists in detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) on routine CT scans, according to a non-inferiority, confirmatory, observational study. In a testing cohort of 1,130 patients,...

Your life is my background noiseThey say my generation is wasting our lives watching mindless entertainment. But I think things are worse than that. We are now turning our lives into mindless entertainment. Not just consuming slop, but becoming it. We have been posting about our lives for a long time. But now I notice something else, something more than a compulsion to capture and share moments. I see people turning into TV characters, their memories into episodes, themselves into entertainment. We have become the meaningless content, swiped past and scrolled through. Experiences, relationships, even our own children, are cheapened,...

Location, location, location. That’s what matters now on X, because Elon Musk has just rolled out a hugely important new feature, and it’s confirming what some of us have suspected was the case for some time now. It turns out that many of the openly racist and anti-Semitic accounts on X that claim to be America First but are actually giving MAGA a bad name — well, they’re not true America First at all. In fact, they’re largely coming from Muslim countries. And now we have the proof. A week ago, Fox News personality Katie Pavlich, a friend of mine,...

America's electricity supply is becoming increasingly strained... As of March, the U.S. has 5,426 artificial intelligence ("AI") data centers. That's up from about 1,000 in 2018. As you're probably aware, data centers are gluttons for energy. In 2022, they consumed about 17 gigawatts ("GW") of power. (For reference, the Hoover Dam only produces about 2 GW per year.) But the power has to come from somewhere. Today, it's being pulled from American homes. Last year, a study by Bloomberg and Whisker Labs found that U.S. power supplies are being "distorted" by electricity-hungry data centers. It sounds like the plot of...

Ron Hira, Indian-origin professor at Howard University and a prominent critic of the H-1B visa program, has once again raised questions regarding the operation of this program in the US. In a post on X, Hira claimed that a considerable number of H-1B visa holders are of average quality and could be sourced domestically. Given that Indians constitute the largest proportion of H-1B visa holders, Hira's critique was sure to attract attention. As the son of Indian immigrants who came to the US in the 1950s, well before the establishment of the H-1B system, his perspective sparked further discussion. ‘H-1B...
