Russian media is confirming Wildberries will not compensate sellers for products destroyed in the warehouses.
This change went into effect on July 7th.

Wildberries functions similarly to Amazon.

$NNE $SMR $CCJ $LEU $CEG | Advanced reactor developer NANO Nuclear Energy joins the Virginia Nuclear Energy Consortium to scale up local data center infrastructure.

The alliance focuses on deploying microreactors directly to power AI hubs.

$TSM $MU $AAPL $INTC $ASML | TSMC pledges an incremental $100 billion expansion in Arizona, boosting total planned US semiconductor investments to a record $265 billion.

The capital drive funds four extra fabs to mass produce advanced 2nm chips.

$AMZN $RKLB $SPCX $ASTS $RDW | Amazon Leo partners with local internet provider Herotel to commercially launch satellite broadband in South Africa by 2027.

The strategic distribution agreement targets underserved rural homes under the new brand name Evry.

$OKLO $SMR $CCJ $NNE $CEG | New Jersey initiates a competitive procurement process under the Power NJ Act to build 1,100 MW of advanced nuclear energy.

The sweeping framework creates a transparent pathway for next generation small modular reactors.

🇺🇸🇨🇳🇷🇺 CIA Director John Ratcliffe: China is our greatest threat

"We're the largest economy in the world. China is the second-largest economy in the world.

Russia's economy is about the size of my home state, Texas.

Russia has to choose where they are gonna compete, but China competes with us across the board."

So basically: Russia remains a military threat, but China is viewed as the primary strategic rival.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 CIA Director John Ratcliffe on America's AI arms race with China:

"If China gets a technological advantage over us, that's a real problem.

We can't let that happen.

When we talk about frontier AI models and the fact that Western technology is ahead, we need to make sure we're taking advantage of that.

From the CIA's perspective, we need to make sure that we're deploying that, that our officers are able to use that."

‼️‼️🇷🇺🇨🇳 BREAKING | Beijing has just delivered a stunning geopolitical betrayal to Moscow—plunging a dagger directly into Putin’s desperate pivot to Asia by freezing the Kremlin's crown jewel energy project.

According to explosive reports from the Wall Street Journal, China has indefinitely suspended all negotiations with Russia regarding the construction of the massive "Power of Siberia-2" gas pipeline. The pipeline was designed to reroute hundreds of billions of cubic meters of natural gas originally bound for Europe directly into Chinese markets, serving as Moscow's primary economic hope to replace lost Western revenues. By halting the multi-billion-dollar project indefinitely, Beijing has signaled that it refuses to bail out Russia's collapsing energy economy on Putin’s terms.

This freeze represents a catastrophic strategic defeat for Russia, exposing the brutal reality of its asymmetric dependence on Beijing. With Europe permanently locked out and China walking away from the negotiating table, Russia’s massive gas reserves are effectively trapped in the ground with nowhere to go. This move proves that China views Russia not as an equal strategic partner, but as a vulnerable, junior partner to be exploited, leaving the Kremlin's long-term economic survival in absolute tatters.

Kimi's CEO Zhilin Yang:

"Everyone's trying to build one smarter agent

Many agent hits a wall fast, so instead of making it smarter we just made more - one boss, a thousand workers."

In a 39-minute talk he explains why one agent won't get you to real work.

Agent swarms + long context + RL on every sub-agent - that's the fix.

Black Clouds over Russia

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Databricks CEO Ali Ghodsi confirms greedy US AI monopolies are literally bankrupting companies!

Costs are exploding, forcing a massive global pivot to open-source.

He reveals China's brilliant Kimi model is in such high demand it drained global GPUs!

🚨 BOMBSHELL! Absolute humiliation in the octagon!

The white AI gladiator just executed a flawless flying kick, obliterating its opponent.

The black robot desperately struggles to reboot its balance systems as the crowd goes wild.

This robotic combat agility is terrifying!

Nobody expected the largest AI model ever built to be free.

Kimi K3 just shipped at 2.8 trillion parameters.
Full weights go public in ten days.

No API waitlist. No enterprise sales call. No usage tier.

Closed labs spent two years selling "frontier intelligence" as something you rent.

Open source just proved you can own it outright.
The gap everyone bet on didn't shrink. It closed.

The majority of traffic on the largest AI model marketplace is no longer American.

Chinese and open models now account for over 60% of usage on OpenRouter.

Airbnb, Pinterest, and DoorDash are already testing the switch.

Even Microsoft is reportedly weighing DeepSeek inside its own Copilot product.

Nobody announced this shift. Developers just quietly voted with their traffic.

That's usually how the real signal shows up, not in a press release.
Watch usage, not marketing.

2.4 billion dollars just went into robots, and none of it went toward a closed model.

Japan launched Noetra, a national humanoid AI consortium backed by Sony, SoftBank, Honda, and six other giants.

The group has already ordered 27,500 Nvidia chips before writing a line of proprietary code.

China's humanoid lead isn't a smarter model, it's scale: 300,000 robots deployed last year versus 38,000 in the US.

Notice what nobody is fighting over here: a closed API.
Closed-source thinking doesn't scale a robot workforce. Open infrastructure does.

The real AI gold rush isn't the model layer anymore.

Fireworks AI just raised 1.5 billion dollars at a 17.5 billion valuation.

It doesn't build frontier models, it runs inference and training for enterprises using them.

That capital bet is a bet on open and open-adjacent models needing infrastructure, not API keys.

Nobody raises a billion dollar round to help you rent someone else's closed weights.
They raise it to help you own and run your own.

China's trade surplus just hit 125.6 billion dollars, and AI hardware carried it.

Exports jumped 27 percent year over year even as analysts flagged weak domestic demand.

This is what happens when an ecosystem builds for efficiency instead of exclusivity.

Open, resource-constrained development didn't just survive export controls. It became the export.

Closed labs optimize for margin on a handful of enterprise contracts.

Open ecosystems optimize for scale across an entire market, and scale is winning right now.
The numbers don't care which strategy sounds more defensible in a boardroom.
