They're pushing the schedule ahead as fast as possible because Trump is literally dying. He probably had a stroke and has obviously been getting infusions. It won't be long before they announce, "he had a bad fall."

To be fair, JD Vance doesn't really know what a "fact" is. It's not that he's willfully ignorant; he doesn't have the mental capacity to understand.
Conservatism triggers extreme reactions.
Uh, bikes without electric motors can go faster than 25MPH.
Gaming is about to start requiring more VRAM too because of local AI. The two will become inseparable.
Yes. That's how we got Trump and today's Republican party.
How much of this can be attributed to conservative families finally getting the chance to enroll their kids into private religious schools via voucher programs?
Actually, how much can be attributed to voucher programs in general?
Anthropic didn't lose their lawsuit. They settled. Also, that was about their admission that they pirated zillions of books.
From a legal perspective, none of that has anything to do with AI.
Company pirates books -> gets sued for pirating books. Companies settles with the plaintiffs.
It had no legal impact on training AI with copyrighted works or what happens if the output is somehow considered to be violating someone's copyright.
What Anthropic did with this settlement is attack their Western competitor: OpenAI, specifically. Because Google already settled with the author's guild for their book scanning project over a decade ago.
Now OpenAI is likely going to have to pay the author's guild too. Even though they haven't come out and openly admitted that they pirated books.
Meta is also being sued for the same reason but they appear to be ready to fight in court about it. That case is only just getting started though so we'll see.
The real, long-term impact of this settlement is that it just became a lot more expensive to train an AI in the US (well, the West). Competition in China will never have to pay these fees and will continue to offer their products to the West at a fraction of the cost.
So what they're saying is that this person was clearly qualified to work for this administration.
We continue to believe that teams produce the best results when they're collaborating and inventing in person,
First of all, that's 100% bullshit.
Secondly, what about individuals‽ Ya know, the people that make up "the team."
Studies have shown that individuals produce the best results when they're working alone and not bothered regularly by office bullshit.
...but let's get more specific, because Amazon is talking about innovation and "inventing": Study after study has shown that the kind of "group brainstorming" that Amazon is referring to here produces worse results that having individuals work on ideas alone then pooling them together afterwards.
Literally the opposite of what they're claiming.
Amazon: Believe your own bullshit at your peril. Well, at the loss of tech talent I guess 🤷
I really like WebP. It has a super annoying issue though: Animated WebP can't take advantage of hardware acceleration.
And the real problem there is that WebM doesn't support looping. So if you want an auto playing, looping gif-like video you have to use WebP and thus, give up on hardware acceleration.
