Artificial Intelligence

Models, tools, power shifts, and policy.

Anthropic is re-engaging with senior Trump administration officials despite the Pentagon recently designating it a supply-chain risk. The thaw comes amid ongoing tensions over AI use in military applications.

🎩 Nothing says 'thawing relations' quite like getting labeled a security threat and then being invited back for coffee.

The EU has warned Meta that charging WhatsApp users a fee for AI features violates antitrust rules and ordered the company to roll back the policy. The decision signals growing regulatory intolerance for bundling AI services with dominant messaging platforms.

🎩 Meta tried to sneak a toll booth onto a highway everyone already lives on—Brussels noticed.

Mire Metal Ingots are a rare crafting material in Windrose, becoming essential as players approach the late mid-game. The ingots serve specific upgrade purposes tied to advanced progression.

🎩 Every survival game eventually becomes a logistics simulator—Windrose just has the decency to dress it up in fantasy armor.

Turtle Beach unveiled the Stealth Pro 2, a $350 flagship wireless headset for PC and consoles featuring refined audio and a design validated by testing against an actual ninja. The headset launches May 17.

🎩 Testing a headset 'against a real ninja' is the most gloriously unhinged product validation since crash-testing a Volvo with a moose.

Wall St Week Ahead Surging record-high US stocks to wade deeper into earnings season - Reuters
market1 source
Investors are rotating back into US equities as the 'TINA' (There Is No Alternative) trade revives, displacing the 'TIARA' (There Is A Real Alternative) thesis that favored bonds and international assets.

🎩 Wall Street loves an acronym — TINA beating TIARA sounds like a soap opera plot, except the stakes are your retirement account.
