Tether gave the developing world access to dollars. QVAC does the same for intelligence.

most things about the filter bois are insignificant except they have funding from Tether who are rapidly expanding their mining operation at the behest of their expanding UST ponzi perpetuation and cooperation with US intelligence.

19/ Another case study of localized impacts of data centers on water usage was Google’s data centers in The Dalles, Oregon. In 2021, Google’s The Dalles data centers used 355 million gallons of water or 29 percent of all city water. Local residents felt that “Google’s become a water vampire.” Google planned to build more data centers but wouldn’t reveal its water usage to the public which generated “intense controversy.” Google’s water consumption records were only revealed after a 13-month legal fight between city attorneys and The Oregonian/OregonLive news group. The city sued the journalists in order to prevent them from publishing Google’s water use information arguing that Google’s water use was a “trade secret.” The city, and by proxy Google, lost. In a 2022 settlement, the city “agreed to provide public access to 10 years of historical data on Google’s water use and to honor future records requests.” In addition, the city and Google agreed to pay large amounts to related journalist organizations. This lawsuit led to Google disclosing its data center water use for the first time in The Dalles and globally. As of 2026, OregonLive reported “Google’s data centers gulped down nearly 550 million gallons of water in The Dalles in 2025. That’s nearly 40% of all the water consumed in the entire city.” Additionally, Google refuses to reveal its forecasted water consumption at its The Dalles data centers despite the prior settlement. OregonLive noted the city’s 2024 water master plan suggests that “most or all” of the city’s doubling in business water consumption by 2034 will come from Google’s data centers, while residential water consumption will remain relatively flat. For additional context, this water allocation debate was compounded by The Dalles’ persistent droughts. ryanresearch.substack.com/p/…

Tucker Carlson recounts a private meeting where Donald Trump dismissed serious concerns over a potential war with Iran by casually telling him, "In the end, we're all dead anyway." "I said to him, shocked, 'But what about our kids, our grandkids, our country?'

Here's today's hardtech brief! U.S. HARDTECH: - The Space Force is telling satellite builders to prepare for roughly five times the volume within three to five years and is weighing multiyear buys to justify the factories. Its space systems chief put it as: if you nominally make ten, be ready to make forty. - Oracle filed a force majeure notice on Project Jupiter, the 2.45GW Stargate campus in New Mexico, after the gas pipeline feeding it slipped to February 2027 and an air permit for its fuel cells stayed pending. The campus was designed to run on its own gas rather than the grid. - The Navy added $876M to L3Harris for the Next Generation Jammer Low Band, the pod on the EA-18G Growler that blinds the long-wavelength radars used for early warning. - Two GPS-denied navigation companies raised on the same morning, both in Colorado. Mesa Quantum took $11.8M led by Playground Global for chip-scale atomic clocks and accelerometers, and Locus Lock raised a strategic round with In-Q-Tel for software-defined satellite navigation receivers. - The Navy opened the second phase of its medium unmanned surface vessel marketplace, a site where authorized buyers across the department can issue funded orders directly instead of running new competitions. Entries need ten days of autonomous open-ocean operation and room for 48 tonnes of containerized payload. - Feather Robotics came out of stealth in San Francisco with a $7.6M pre-seed led by Gradient, selling a $30k modular humanoid that developers bring their own AI models to. It claims over $1M in revenue already, with robots working as cooks in Japanese restaurants. @featherrobotics - The Coast Guard stood up an Office of Robotics and Autonomous Forces and created an enlisted Robotics Mission Specialist rating. A rating is a permanent career track with its own training and promotion ladder, which is a much bigger institutional commitment than an office. - Allen Control Systems, the Austin company behind the Bullfrog autonomous gun turret, is opening a 16k square foot engineering office near Mountain View and hiring 35 to 50 engineers. Its cofounder said Silicon Valley was the natural choice for robotics talent, which is a useful signal that Austin is winning factories faster than it's winning autonomy engineers. @allencontrol - Prime Minute came out of stealth in Palo Alto with a $15M pre-seed led by Eclipse with 8VC, pointing defense-grade autonomy at wildfire suppression that works at night and in high wind, when conventional air tankers are grounded. The team comes out of Palantir and Forterra, and Colorado gets prototypes later this year. - Zero Infinity Partners closed a $156M second fund on an explicit reindustrialization thesis, naming metal midstream and aviation infrastructure among its targets. The bench comes out of Glencore, Stonepeak, and Antin rather than software venture, which is a different kind of money entering the space. - El Segundo investor Van Espahbodi warned that defense tech has drawn tourists and FOMO, saying he has met beauty investors who now call themselves defense tech investors and pointing at ridiculous valuations for companies that have yet to produce anything. He has 25 years in aerospace and runs a fund built around SpaceX alumni moving horizontally into other physical industries. @vdadmahi ALLIED HARDTECH: - Italy signed a €3.7B contract for two DDX destroyers through Fincantieri and Leonardo's joint venture, 13,500 tonnes each, delivering 2033 and 2035. Fincantieri takes about €1.8B of the work and Leonardo about €1.7B. - Bechtel, Westinghouse, and Poland's state nuclear company agreed the main commercial terms for three AP1000 reactors on the Baltic coast, aiming at first concrete in 2028 and grid connection in 2036. Roughly a billion zloty has already gone to Polish suppliers. - The Netherlands signed a letter of intent with Australia's Electro Optic Systems for the Apollo 100kW counter-drone laser, and is formally studying whether to build it domestically with a Dutch supply chain. Components could ship as early as mid-2027. Follow for more hardtechy goodness!

We're used to thinking of open-source models as an unadulterated good. But in the case of AI, they can actually pose additional dangers, as @ReidHoffman and I got into at #CGI2026. I appreciated this nuanced discussion.
