Trump evidently doesn't appreciate that the whole point of making JSF an international program with globalised production arrangements was to suffocate alternative development and procurement programs, fattening the profits of Lockheed Martin and ultimately giving Trump the power to ground the Danish Air Force on a whim.

If all F-35 components were produced in the United States, then parallel production of those components outside the United States for non-US customers would no longer be economically viable, which would in turn lead partner nations with the requisite engineering expertise (or ambition to develop it) to seek alternative procurement and development pathways that better support their own strategic-industrial objectives, undermining the profits of Lockheed Martin and eventually creating competing platforms that Washington does not control. Indeed, we have already seen how Turkey's ejection from the F-35 program turbocharged that nation's own aerospace ambitions. That F-35 partner nations do not have sovereign control over their aircraft also appears to be one of the major drivers behind the UK and Japanese commitment to GCAP.

there is no reason for US to enter into this interdependency when it could use F-22 supply chain to modernize both F-22 and create F-35. This Eurofighter and Rafale are kept afloat by exports to Mideast.
Germany and Poland that were not part of original F-35 team bought it anyway. Turkey has to buy F-16 for the price of F-35 with much delayed delivery dates. If somehow this GCAP is created than some new dependencies highly likely emerge even they not buy into it. the sooner Europe and Turkey realize that they shouldn't pursue such projects the better for them.

Day 4 is on its way. Reality is settling in. The game of hyperscalers running hundreds of thousands of GPUs is over.

AWS hops on the DeepSeek bandwagon with this service offering:

This DS R1 deployment distills Llama inside AWS Bedrock managed service.

Looking back, this MIT licensed DeepSeek release is really brilliant. Imagine that if it was closed source like OpenAI, it would have likely been banned by now. But since it was open sourced, there are already gazillions of downloads worldwide, and the global open source community are well on their way to integrate DeepSeek in various use cases human can imagine. As a result, as far as AI is concerned, we are playing a different ball game from now on.

Azure includes DeepSeek while MSFT is investigating whatever it claims:

I REALLY want everyone to deploy DeepSeek and replicate what they did so these stupid black boxed chatbots go down. The reason why Anthropic Dario Amodei is bitching, coping, moaning, crying, seething and publicly embarrassing himself all over the internet is not just because DeepSeek AI is better than theirs, is because DeekSeek released the weights AND they teached everyone the secret sauce.

Americans didn't blame China for their recent aircraft tragedy, but you can be sure there are Indians who blame China for their annual crowd crush tragedy.

Thirty killed in crowd crush at India's Kumbh Mela festival​

At least 30 people have been killed in a crush at the world's largest religious gathering, the Hindu festival Kumbh Mela in northern India, officials say.

The incident took place early on Wednesday when devotees on the riverbanks in the city of Prayagraj were trampled by other pilgrims rushing to take part in a sacred day of ritual bathing.

Another 60 people were injured, police said. It took most of the day for official casualty figures to emerge, prompting opposition leaders to accuse authorities of a lack of transparency.
