Bloomberg reported that Oracle has sent a legal notice to the developer of its $X billion "Project Jupiter" AI data center campus scheduled to come online in 2028. It cites "force majeure," a contract provision that offers protection if events outside of a company's control disrupt a deal -- in this case, the delay of a critical natural gas pipeline.

Oracle is hoping to delay rent payments if the data center is not delivered by the deadline. The developer, a subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital, must first agree that a qualifying event occurred, and Oracle would still be on the hook for certain fees and other payments.

While Oracle insists the project is on schedule, investors are growing increasingly worried. The $18 billion in project financing for Poject Jupitor have fallen into "stressed" territory. That means the banks that loaned the money are willing to let them go for considerably less than they are worth in name, fearing the loans may go bad. The Financial Times reported that as of last Friday, they had fallen to around 89 to 91 cents on the dollar.

That's in part due to the stiff local opposition the 1,400-acre campus is facing. Residents are concerned with the environmental impact as well as noise pollution -- a common theme from projects around the country. A recent poll by the Albuquerque Journal found 65% opposed to their construction in the state.

The company has had trouble with regulators as well. The plan to bring natural gas to the site was blocked by the state's land office, so was a revised plan.

It's a new way to break RSA keys — and it doesn't require factoring.

Yes they do, for the same reason that self driving cars get a pass when doing an illegal u-turn. The laws as written currently do not cover a situation outside of direct human control and intent.

It shouldn't be the case, but to fix this we need new laws first, and laws don't get to be criminally applied retrospectively in Australia, so yeah they got a free pass this time.

According to official documents, between $6.5m (£4.8m) and $31m worth of stock in Microsoft was sold on behalf of Trump, while they show purchases of between $165,000 and $400,000. Across more than 1,000 trades, shares were bought and sold in AI company Nvidia and software firm Palantir, a contractor with the US defence department and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the filing shows.

A White House spokesperson said Trump's stock and bond portfolio is independently managed by third parties, "There are no conflicts of interest."

Rogue OpenAI Agent Tried to Breach Government Site

World leaders and tech CEOs are using the U.N. General Assembly this week to call for a global approach to rein in AI, particularly following cyberattacks against other technology firms in recent weeks. But that’s against the backdrop of President Donald Trump flatly rejecting in his own speech to the assembly any “globalist scheme of control” on AI.

However I'm not sure I'm getting the point of the joke on this best of all possible jokes. If it's the "L", then why not Lame Intelligence or Loser Intelligence or possibly even Lost Intelligence? Or maybe I just can't see Ludicrous anymore?

Well then, we should be moving on to super duper intelligence.

Meep, meep!
