mistral ai

paris-based artificial intelligence startup founded in 2023 that quickly positioned itself as europe’s most serious answer to the american ai giants. while companies like openai and anthropic have been busy fighting very publicly over pentagon-related contracts and the politics around them, mistral has been taking a much quieter route. in other words: while silicon valley is arguing loudly about military ai, paris is just shipping it...

the openai ceo announcing that openai has secured the us department of defense contract allegedly turned down by anthropic over ethical concerns, effectively positioning openai as the ai vendor willing to work directly with the pentagon while its main rival signals hesitation.

pokemon

its original name is pocket monsters. with its broadcasting rights, toys, stationery products, movies, and everything else tied to it, i genuinely think it practically boosted an entire country’s economy. i’m 30 now, but i started watching it again from scratch and I’m halfway through the first season. i want to watch all the seasons, but i’m not sure if i’ll be able to go beyond the first four seasons, which are the nostalgic ones for me :)
