Major tech moguls had their claws out for each other on Wednesday, hissing at their rivals over enormous pledges to invest in AI that had been announced by Donald Trump the day before. Trump announced Stargate, a 500bn project to be funded jointly by OpenAI, Oracle and Softbank, on Tuesday. During the announcement, the president was flanked by the leaders of those companies: Sam Altman, Larry Ellison and Masayoshi Son, respectively. Son is slated to be the chair of the project. Absent from the photo op was a representative from MGX, Abu Dhabi's state AI fund, another principal investor.

Some of the biggest names in tech came together this week to announce "Stargate," a project they say will receive 500 billion in investment for US-based artificial intelligence infrastructure. The joint venture, spearheaded by OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank, aims to rapidly build out colossal new data centers crucial to future AI development. It will also prop-up new electricity plants needed to power these notoriously energy-intensive AI models. Stargate already has the blessing of newly-inaugurated president Donald Trump who this week said he has plans to "unleash" the US fossil fuel industry. Looser regulations on oil and gas extraction will make fossil fuels the obvious, cheapest choice to power Stargate's ambitious AI agenda.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale reacts on'The Will Cain Show' to President Trump's executive orders tackling AI infrastructure and DEI in the workforce. The ongoing battle against the "woke mind virus" is not yet "won" despite a flurry of executive orders from President Donald Trump and Big Tech's shift towards the new commander-in-chief, according to a prominent software company investor. During a Wednesday appearance on "The Will Cain Show," Joe Lonsdale, who co-founded companies like Palantir and OpenGov, said Trump's move to accelerate the development of artificial intelligence is a "key to unlocking productivity growth" in the United States. Trump unveiled a massive AI infrastructure project on the first full day of his second term. The joint venture between Softbank, OpenAI and Oracle will act as a substantial investment from the private sector in building data centers to power AI in the U.S. RACHEL MADDOW SLAMS PRESENCE OF TECH CEOS AT TRUMP'S INAUGURATION: 'HOW IS THIS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?' Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale told "The Will Cain" show that the fight against the "woke mind virus" is still ongoing despite President Donald Trump's efforts.

Fox News senior medical analyst Dr. Marc Siegel joined'Fox & Friends' to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on medicine and his take on President Trump's decision to withdraw from the World Health Organization. President Donald Trump's first actions in the Oval Office included rolling back healthcare policies put forth by former President Joe Biden, including expansions to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), otherwise known as "ObamaCare." Directly after he was sworn in on Monday, Trump moved quickly to revoke a long list of Biden executive orders covering a wide range of issues. Two of the orders that were revoked included efforts by Biden to expand access to the ACA and restore the federal program "to the way it was before Trump became president" the first time around. The move angered Democrats, who argued the action was an "attack" on the federal health insurance program.

A regret is about estimation for cosine similarity (my concern 2). Although the response adds the specific value of S, it is still not explained **when** and **how often** to estimate cosine similarity (see line 197–198). It should have an important impact on query complexity but ignored in experiments. It is suggested to make similarity estimation clear in a final version. The idea is OK to combine transfer-based attack and query-based attack. The paper proposes a simple method where the gradient of the surrogate model is used as a prior of the true gradient.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced a 500 billion joint venture between OpenAI, Softbank, MGX and Oracle to build new datacenters to power the next wave of artificial intelligence (AI) – in an early signal that his Administration would embrace the technology. The plans, which predate the Trump Administration and involve no U.S. government funds, would result in the construction of large datacenters on U.S. soil containing thousands of advanced computer chips required to train new AI systems. "We want to keep it in this country; China's a competitor," Trump said of AI. "I'm going to help a lot through emergency declarations – we have an emergency, we have to get this stuff built." The message echoed recent talking points by the heads of AI companies like Sam Altman of OpenAI, who flanked him during the White House announcement. Altman has argued more vocally in recent months that the U.S. must race to build the energy and datacenter infrastructure in order to create powerful AI before China.

Additional Feedback: - From Table 2, it appears that the generalization of robustness by adversarial training to unseen attacks is boosted by the addition of OM-AT, although still mainly due AT. How are the results in such metric combining instead AT with other kind of perturbations, e.g. Is the improvement due to on-manifold adversarial training or just to more diverse adversarial attacks seen at training time? - Do the authors have an intuition about how the results presented can be useful in practice without the assumption of knowing the exact manifold? As mentioned above, it seems that the benefit of DMAT against unseen attacks decreases with out-of-manifold images. After reading it and the other reviews, I see positively the contribution/experiments on the artificial dataset. In particular, showing the benefit from OM-AT for clean accuracy and OM-robustness also in the domain of natural images is meaningful, combining AT and OM-AT seems also novel, although methodologically quite straightforward and DMAT leads to better robustness against unforeseen attacks (Table 2) on the artificial dataset OM-ImageNet.

US President Donald Trump has announced a private sector investment to fund infrastructure for artificial intelligence, with the goal of outpacing rival nations in the business-critical technology. Calling it the largest AI infrastructure project in history "by far", Trump said the joint venture called Stargate will build data centres and create more than 100,000 jobs in the United States. These companies, along with other equity backers of Stargate, have committed billions of dollars for immediate investment, with the remaining investment expected to occur over the next four years. Here's what you need to know about what Trump called "a resounding declaration of confidence in America's potential": It's a joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank and MGX that plans to invest up to 500bn over the next four years to build up new data centres needed for the development of AI projects in the US. A first injection of 100bn will start "immediately," according to an OpenAI statement.

Google has been a much larger facilitator of tools to Israel during its war with Hamas than previously disclosed. A new report from The Washington Post found that Google employees have repeatedly worked with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israel's Defense Ministry (IDM) to expand the government's access to AI tools. In 2021, Google entered into a 1.2 billion cloud computing contract with the Israeli government, titled Nimbus, alongside Amazon. Internal documents show that Google employees repeatedly requested greater access to the company's AI technology on behalf of Israel -- starting shortly after the October 7 attacks. An employee in Google's cloud division reportedly escalated appeals from the IDM for greater access to Vertex.

American nuclear weapons, specifically the atomic bomb, brought World War II to a close. They then averted a hot war with the Soviet Union and bolstered decades of global stability. The decisive superweapons of the next great conflict will be digital and run on supercomputers (specifically specialized chips called "GPUs"), with the power to break codes, paralyze our enemies' economies, and destroy their weapons from the inside. Just as America's military needs the world's best planes and ships, America's military needs a state-of-the-art supercomputer to deter future conflicts before they begin. Our adversaries must understand that attacking the United States or our allies in Taiwan will place them in the crosshairs of the world's most formidable cyberweapon and not prevent us from producing one.
