www.eso.orgOxygen discovered in most distant known galaxyTwo different teams of astronomers have detected oxygen in the most distant known galaxy, JADES-GS-z14-0. The discovery, reported in two separate studies, was made possible thanks to the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), in which the European Southern Observatory (ESO) is a partner. This record-breaking detection is making astronomers rethink how quickly galaxies formed in the early Universe.

Y Combinator urges the White House to support Europe's Digital Markets Act

Y Combinator, one of the world’s most prolific startup accelerators, sent a letter on Wednesday urging the Trump administration to openly support Europe’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), a wide-ranging piece of legislation that aims to crack open Big Tech’s market power.

"A venture capital-backed “AI performance monitoring system for factory workers” is proposing what appears to be dehumanizing surveillance of factories, where machine vision tracks workers’ hand movements and output so a boss can look at graphs and yell at them about efficiency.

In a launch video demoing the product, Baid and Mohta put on a skit showing how Optifye.ai would be used by factory bosses.

“Ugh, it’s workspace 17. Workspace 17 is the bottleneck. The worst performing workspace here,” one of the bosses says, while watching a video of a man making clothing in a factory. “Hey number 17, what’s going on man? You are in red,” he says. “I have been working all day,” the person playing the worker says. “Working all day?” the line boss replies. “You haven’t hit your hourly output even once today. And you have 11.4% efficiency, this is really bad!”

“It’s just been a rough day,” the “worker” replies. “Rough day?” the boss says, looking at a calendar full of red days. “More like a rough month.”

The #techbros are saying most of the quiet part out loud now: The #AI endgame is worker #dystopia (followed by mass replacement by machines). Even #Ycombinator is embarrassed for saying that this technology benefits workers.

🚨Index of 68 Weapons Startups🚨 This document illustrates the venture capital military and weapons build-out. Andreessen Horowitz, Founders Fund (Peter Thiel’s VC firm) and YCombinator are the biggest drivers of the industry’s new era of militarization. They are working to move weapons production from existing primes – Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, etc. – into venture capital-backed startups. This transition is accelerated by Trump’s election as venture capital weapons executives move to take control. https://www.vcinfodocs.com/weapons-startups #WhiteHouseCoup #LockheedMartin #Anduril #YCombinator #Raytheon #AndreessenHorowitz #a16z #FoundersFund
