Summary
Very thin slot with almost no original AI signal. The one item actually worth surfacing is @ns123abc's note that Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron control 90%+ of global RAM production and that Anthropic is reportedly paying SpaceX a billion a month, framed as a one-liner on why compute economics still dominate. NVIDIA teased the start of GTC week from Taipei with an autonomous-agents framing, which is event scaffolding rather than content. @brivael spent the slot reposting French political memes and writing three La Fontaine-style fables about labs, hyperscalers, and VCs, witty enough to read but not signal. Everything else is off-topic government press or banter.

- RAM oligopoly and Anthropic's compute bill (@ns123abc). Notes that three firms (Samsung, SK Hynix, Micron) make 90%+ of the world's DRAM, CXMT is under 1% even if it enters export markets, and Anthropic is reportedly paying SpaceX a billion dollars a month for compute, pitched as evidence that demand is outrunning supply and prices only go up. Useful as a one-line memory market frame to pair with the wiki's hardware coverage.
- NVIDIA GTC Taipei kickoff (@nvidia). Jensen visits a Taipei dev event ("Meet-a-Claw") and declares GTC week open, with the framing built around autonomous agents on stage. Event-launch signal, watch for the actual keynotes later in the week.
- La Fontaine fables on labs, hyperscalers, and VCs (cluster of 3) (@brivael). Three pastiches of Le Corbeau et le Renard rewriting AI labs as the crow holding the GPT, hyperscalers as the fox holding the GPU and datacenter, and a separate one casting founders against VCs. Cultural commentary on the lab/cloud-provider power asymmetry, not data, but the framing (labs build the brain, hyperscalers hold the rack) is a clean rhetorical capture of an argument the wiki already takes seriously.
- Off-topic noise (cluster of ~17) (@brivael, @WHFraudTF, @Scobleizer). French politics, anti-Zuckerberg rant, "nuke Mars" banter, taxpayer-fraud task force press, popcorn-guy commentary. Skip.
