What a week, huh? America signed a truly gigantic chip sales agreement with UAE and KSA that could be anything from reasonable to civilizational suicide depending on security arrangements and implementation details, Google announced all the things, OpenAI dropped Codex and also bought Jony Ive's device company for $6.5 billion, Vance talked about reading AI 2027 (surprise, in a good way!) and all that other stuff.

Lemon, it's Thursday, you’ve got movie tickets for Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning (19th and Broadway AMC, 3pm), an evening concert tonight from Light Sweet Crude and there's a livestream from Anthropic coming up at 12:30pm eastern, the non-AI links are piling up and LessOnline is coming in a few weeks. Can’t go backwards and there's no time to spin anything else out of the weekly. Got to go forward to go back. Better press on.
