A janky bitcoin operation, https://hyperscaledata.com/ NYSE:GPUS in Dowagiac, Michigan pivots to robots in data center operations. This is how Skynet gains physical instrumentality.

GPUS has been a penny stock for 25 years. It operates data centers in Michigan and Montana. China kicked out bitcoin mining and much of it moved to Texas with the same Chinese owners.

Personally I think it is a publicity stunt to boost their stock, their volume is up with a sell recomendation, it will not work, will attract a government ban, and that humans are better at fine motor skills.

This week is the robot show in Beijing. Plenty of news stories.

After the Unitree IPO at a ridiculous multiple, many other robot companies are thinking of going public. Cherry, a large EV maker is thinking of spinning out its robot unit. They think they can make a business with police robots.

"There are only two real possibilities to the incredibly rapid 180 degree turn that has occurred on Al development in the past couple of days:
1) The Al has told these billionaires that THEY are the problem that will be eliminated, and they are actually afraid for the first time in their lives.
2) The entire financial house of cards around Al is about to collapse and take them all down, along with most of the world's economies with it.
There is 0% chance these people are acting altruistically."
