Free advice to anyone running for POTUS: When they ask you about the $50K you owe in child support & the $500K you owe the IRS, don't dodge the questions. It makes you look ridiculous.

The Green Party US has 10 months to come up w/a better candidate, maybe a labor leader?*

Additionally, West was spotted this week at the sentencing hearing of Mark Ridley-Thomas, convicted of "seven felonies — bribery, conspiracy, four counts of honest services wire fraud, and one count of honest services mail fraud — in a scheme in which he extracted benefits from USC for himself and his son while on L.A. County’s powerful Board of Supervisors," according to the LA Times, as one of Ridley-Thomas's supporters.

For background on Mark Ridley-Thomas, see this article from Knock LA, a grassroots homeless advocacy and support organization featured in our most recent reading, "Infrastructures of Community": https://knock-la.com/mark-ridley-thomas-anti-homeless-camping-laws/ Knock LA reports that, "rather than acting as “champion of the homeless population,” [Ridley-Thomas] acted as champion of homeless policy," and that "Ridley-Thomas introduced legislation for LA Municipal Code 41.18 on June 30, 2021, which bans “sitting, lying, or sleeping or storing, using, maintaining, or placing personal property in the public right-of-way” around transportation structures (everything from driveways to freeway underpasses) [...]. So far, the measure has been used to effectively ban homeless people from taking up space at over 140 sites across the city, with $2 million allotted by the council for the signage alone."

After leaving the courthouse, West was asked why he was supporting an LA politics insider convicted of bribery when his companion shooed the interviewer away, saying they were "putting West's life in danger": https://twitter.com/theveganforest/status/1696290380361162759

As one commenter put it, "Starting to think this Harvard professor-turned-TV gadfly might not be on the level regarding his commitment to left-wing politics."

ICQE 2025 Insights On Quantum Ethics and Intelligence

ICQE 2025

Responsibility for Energy, Quantum, and the Future of Intelligence: ICQE 2025

The International Conference on Quantum and Energy (ICQE) 2025 brought together scientists, founders, policymakers, and technologists in Padua, a scientific city. The discussion focused on “What will it take to fuel the future of intelligence?”

The conference addressed the energy needs of future technologies, especially  artificial intelligence (AI), and explored how quantum technologies can help power this exponential growth without depleting the planet's energy infrastructure. ICQE 2025 anticipated the future would be created and asked if quantum might reduce energy demand.

The conference co-chair, Francesco Campaioli, stressed that “The cost of intelligence will ultimately be defined by the cost of energy.” He stressed that quantum technologies will be used to build future infrastructure, thus they must not reproduce exploitative tendencies. The seminar stressed sustainability in quantum technology development. A unified vision that balances scientific advancement with social and ecological responsibility requires multidisciplinary collaboration beyond specific knowledge.

Energy System Quantum Role Three primary areas where quantum technology and energy intersected to potentially alleviate the AI-driven energy crisis and computational arms race were discussed at ICQE 2025:

Basic Understanding:

Quantum research deepens our understanding of physical phenomena and offers new, more effective, and fundamentally different heat management, dissipation, and control methods than previous designs. This is influencing quantum engine, thermodynamic protocol, and next-generation cooling ideas.

Efficient computation:

Quantum computing may improve environmental information processing. Certain efficient AI tasks could be offloaded from high-power GPUs to quantum processors because AI uses infinite energy. This ethic encourages sustainability and scalability.

Discovery of Materials

Finding, comprehending, and producing novel materials is aided by quantum sensing and modelling. Direct modelling and modification of quantum characteristics may speed up energy innovation in photovoltaics, solid-state batteries, and hydrogen catalysts. More clean materials would be available faster.

Quantum may not solve the energy dilemma, but intentional development, application, and expansion may make it one of its most powerful tools.

Signals from Italy:

A National Quantum Strategy At the conference, Italy presented its National Quantum Strategy for later this year. This created the Padua-based Italian Quantum Alliance. Italy's quantum science and technology are built by universities, research, and industry. Italy views quantum as a major scientific initiative that could impact energy, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and competitiveness.

Scientific Highlights Several ICQE 2025 presentations showed the field's scientific breadth and transdisciplinary rigour:

Cristiane Koch of Freie Universität Berlin developed a generic new way for cooling many-body quantum systems, needed for scalable quantum technology. This approach extracts energy by repeatedly coupling and resetting auxiliary qubits without system knowledge.

Jeremy Stevens (Alice & Bob) developed a power utilisation framework and showed compatibility with microwave and cryogenic equipment for superconducting cat qubits' energy efficiency.

Filippo Vicentini (École Polytechnique) noted that neural network-based variational methods for quantum simulation, especially for the quantum many-body problem, can outperform conventional methods despite rising entanglement.

Beatrice Donelli of CNR-INO Istituto Nazionale di Ottica presented a spin network-based quantum battery charging protocol that exploits quantum phase transitions for super-extensive precision. She optimised D-Wave Advantage quantum annealer performance utilising cooperative protocols.

Beatriz Polo Rodríguez (ICFO Barcelona) suggested the ergotropic gap as a potential entanglement witness, eliminating the requirement for costly quantum tomography. In Gaussian states, thermodynamic measures like energy and work can show quantum entanglement, she said.

ICQE 2025 represented the current and future ambitions of quantum technologies by displaying the critical issue of ensuring that increasing intelligence does not exceed the understanding needed to employ it. If technology and serious talks are used, energy may be the price of advancement without being the price of everything else, according to the conference. To accept that knowledge is technological, ethical, ecological, and fundamentally human, deliberate, multidisciplinary locations that are not afraid of complexity were stressed.

In 1993, three engineers—Jensen Huang, Chris Malachowsky, and Curtis Priem—founded Nvidia with a bold bet: that graphics processing would be the future of computing.

They were right.

The company's first major win came with the GeForce 256 in 1999, the world’s first GPU. Originally built for gaming, Nvidia's chips soon powered everything from 3D design to data centers.

But the real explosion came with AI.

By 2023, Nvidia dominated over 95% of AI training chips, making it the backbone of tools like ChatGPT. That same year, Nvidia crossed $1 trillion in market cap, joining the ranks of tech’s elite.

The moral? Build the picks and shovels. In the AI gold rush, Nvidia became the supplier the whole world needed.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang calls US ban on H20 AI chip ‘deeply painful’

[ASIA] Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Washington’s plan to stymie China’s artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities by restricting access to its H20 graphics processing units (GPUs) was “deeply uninformed”, as the US semiconductor giant continues to navigate through a deepening tech rivalry between the world’s two largest economies. In an interview with tech site Stratechery following his keynote…

Apple enfrenta crise sem precedentes: inovação em risco e produtos decepcionantes

A Apple, gigante da tecnologia, se vê em meio a um verdadeiro dilema que coloca em cheque sua reputação de inovação. A situação se agravou após a imposição de tarifas pelo presidente Trump, que ameaçaram seriamente as operações de manufatura da empresa na China. Desde a implementação dessas tarifas em abril, a companhia sofreu uma drástica perda de valor de mercado, totalizando cerca de US$ 773 bilhões em apenas quatro dias. Este episódio foi um duro golpe, fazendo com que a Apple, que há anos se destacava como a empresa de capital aberto mais valiosa do mundo, perdesse brevemente essa posição.(...)
