🇨🇭🇺🇸 39% le plus fort taux est pour nous. Merci #trump
🤔 J'espère que ça va faire réfléchirm ceux qui ce sont couchés devant la domination et la toute puissance 🇺🇸 en informatique.
Et vous allez décider quand du boycott et de la taxation à 100% des #gafam ?
⛔🇺🇸 Il va falloir se séparer de bien plus de produits que votre Tesla et arrêter de financer ceux qui nous étranglent.
Arrêter de consommer 🇺🇸 et ça commence par passer aux logiciels LIBRES🐧

@mmasnick's latest piece for @techdirt.com is an absolute must-read if you're interested in democracy, technology, and the possibility of a better future.

"The solution isn’t building better platforms — it’s making platforms an obsolete concept. Platforms concentrate power; protocols distribute it. Platforms extract value from users; protocols enable users to create value for themselves. Most importantly: platforms can be captured by bad actors, but protocols resist capture by design."

China's new "Darwin Monkey" AI system, a neuromorphic computer modeled on a monkey's brain, is a breakthrough in brain-inspired computing.

Developed by researchers at Zhejiang University, the system contains 2 billion neurons and over 100 billion synapses, mirroring the scale of a macaque brain. This system is being used for both advanced brain research and to address the unsustainable power consumption of conventional AI.

Chinese scientists have developed a new high-strength cryogenic steel, CHSN01, to solve a major challenge in nuclear fusion: finding a material that can withstand both extreme cold (near absolute zero) and immense magnetic forces. After a decade of research, this new steel has been deployed in the construction of the world's first fusion power reactor, positioning China as a leader in materials science for fusion technology.

China is utilizing humanoid robot swarms to perform complex tasks in car factories, a world-first in automation. These robots use "brainet" swarm intelligence and are developed by companies like UBTECH Robotics in partnership with car manufacturers. This trend is part of China's broader push to integrate embodied AI into its industries.

Instead of exposing myself to the madness of going to the Expo 25 thing while staying in Osaka, I did the much more relaxed, cheaper and probably more interesting alternative and visited the Expo 70 memorial park. I praised the sun and marvelled at the miniatures. Recommended for everyone liking retrofuture and the time where we still believed technology is here to save the day.
