Clearly someone is getting seriously high on his own supply! What heck is a “production-intent prototype”.... Yowzers!!
My Prediction: "Huminoid" robots will ultimately be a giant Red Herring. Robots will be purpose built. Huminoid versions will nichey at best. https://www.brentdoncaster.com/post/technologies-greatest-red-herringsMusk's view = Tesla will deliver 1 million Optimus robots. Tesla’s robots will “actually create a world where there is no poverty, where everyone has access to the finest medical care". Optimus “will be an incredible surgeon". Ok. Sure. Ya. Got it. https://www.wired.com/story/elon-musk-wants-strong-influence-over-the-robot-army-hes-building/

@brentdev
.. and on the other hand, you will certainly remember the time well (was that before Corona?) when, due to great egoism and the resulting loss of trust, freenode-irc became a no-go and thus destroyed for all people volunteering in free and open software #liberachat was created out of nowhere, which in turn resulted in a mass switch of all these good spirits to liberachat. This was unprecedented evidence of who the f(l)oss-fsf communities belong to mentally. Do you know a better example of positive conspiratorial and, above all, such great collective unity and clarity? Not me. This happened in no time without much talking. The good spirit called and everyone came. Well a few went to #OFTC, but even #Kali-Linux has a connection bot to liberachat because many of their fans were too quick to join libera. I have never experienced a major brain drain or should I say mind drain. The purest migration of good folks.
I don't mean to say that with what's left of #freenode there are only heartless zombies running around. My friends from PuppyLinux are still there (and also on lberachat) and are holding the fort because many Windows users are interested in #puppylinux to get started and are checking out freenode first.
You can see that so far I've only been on irc channels. Facebook x etc were never an option for me because even in their early days I foresaw that this could not have a good development for their users and for our society.You know, I believe that the spirit here for many people is the same good spirit and I have already seen a few profiles that reinforce my belief. I think I will feel comfortable here.
Thank you for your welcome :D -
I have posted multiple times on the futility of VR head mounted devices beyond VERY niche use cases. Latest news - death knell has been sounded for Microsoft's HoloLens 2 headset. Related IVAS program with the US Army seems destined to flame out. https://africa.businessinsider.com/news/microsoft-lost-billions-of-dollars-on-hololens-and-its-huge-ivas-military-contract-is/symf9vy #AR #VR #Hololens #IVAS #usarmy #DoD

Kewl app or confusing bag of stuff?
Bluesky announced "Attie" - an AI assistant that enables users to create custom feeds, design custom algorithms, and at some future point vibe-code apps. Currently a private Beta, no indication about monetization yet.
Attie leverages Anthropic’s Claude under the hood to create an agentic social app built on Bluesky’s underlying AT protocol. “It’s a new product — it’s not a part of the Bluesky app,” https://techcrunch.com/2026/03/28/bluesky-leans-into-ai-with-attie-an-app-for-building-custom-feeds/ #BlueSky #Attie #BetaCode #SocialMedia #AI #Claude #Anthropic #ATProtocol #AIAssistant #CustomFeeds #VibeCode

Even grifters don't like getting duped in a Ponzi scheme! Grifter Boffin J. Sun rails against World Liberty Finance (WLFI) for:
1) secretly implementing a one-signature freeze function, used to blacklist his wallet
2) WFLI posted ~ $5B WLFI token on Dolomite as collateral to borrow $250 million in Stablecoins > classic circular financing move

We got approved to be a Bank, but don;t call us a Bank!
Crypto exchange Coinbase has received conditional approval from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to charter Coinbase National Trust Company - aka become a bank.
That said, CoinBases states "Coinbase is not becoming a commercial bank. We will not be taking retail deposits. We will not be engaging in fractional reserve banking."
Coinbase sees this as the next step in providing federal regulatory uniformity and clear oversight over digital assets. https://www.coinbase.com/blog/coinbase-receives-conditional-occ-approval-building-the-future-of-finance

Ok - this has now gotten SERIOUS! Musk and X (former CEO Yaccarino) now face a formal criminal investigation by France.
French cybercrime authorities are now investigating alleged algorithmic manipulation by X to influence and interfere in French politics, and allegations that Musk and X knowingly allowed users of the AI chatbot Grok to create and spread Holocaust denials and nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake images, and child sexual abuse materials on X.
The Paris public prosecutor’s office is requesting indictments of X.AI Holdings Corp, X Corp, and X AI, Elon Musk, and Linda Yaccarino. If they fail to appear they may face judicial warrants that will serve as indictments. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/07/french-prosecutors-probe-of-elon-musk-x-now-a-criminal-investigation.html

Maduro has possible legal challenges – likely long shots – we will see at some point.
1) Head of State and Official Acts Immunity – provides that the current head of a foreign state may not be tried either criminally or civilly in a US court. The question = Maduro a “current head of a foreign state”.
2) Official Acts Immunity – Maduro may claim the accused illegal acts were official conduct and those cannot be prosecuted. Will the Courts accept the executive branch’s assertion that the activities are not “official” acts. The Supreme Court has yet to resolve this and have characterized it as “thorny” question.
3) Venue – Current law states that defendants from other countries must be tried “in the district in which the offender ... is arrested or first brought”. Before arriving in New York State, there was a stop in Guantanamo Bay. Maduro could argue he was not “first brought” to SDNY, therefore the case is null.
