WE’VE KNOWN THIS FOR DECADES: Randomized Trial Finds Circumcised Men Are Less Likely to Get HIV. “Previous research has shown male circumcision is associated with lower rates of several sexually transmitted infections, including syphilis and chancroid. Studies also suggest heterosexual men who are circumcised face a lower risk of contracting HIV.”

FINALLY: SpaceX lands FAA license for Starship megarocket launch on June 6. “For Flight 4, SpaceX aims to fly its Starship and Super Heavy booster on a similar trajectory as its Flight 3 test, a mission that would launch the Starship vehicle up to orbital velocity, then reenter the craft over the Indian Ocean. The Super Heavy booster, meanwhile, is expected to return toward South Texas and make a controlled ‘landing’ in the Gulf of Mexico.”
DOC SEARLS: The People’s AI. “People need their own AIs. Personally and collectively. We won’t get them from Anthropic, Apple, Google, OpenAI, Meta, or Microsoft. Not even from Apple. All those companies will want to provide AIaaS: AI as a Service, rather than AI that’s yours alone. Or ours, collectively.”

HMM: Elon Musk ordered Nvidia to ship thousands of AI chips reserved for Tesla to X and xAI.
On Tesla’s first-quarter earnings call in April, Musk said the electric vehicle company will increase the number of active H100s — Nvidia’s flagship artificial intelligence chip — from 35,000 to 85,000 by the end of this year. He also wrote in a post on X a few days later that Tesla would spend $10 billion this year “in combined training and inference AI.”
But emails written by Nvidia senior staff and widely shared inside the company suggest that Musk presented an exaggerated picture of Tesla’s procurement to shareholders. Correspondence from Nvidia staffers also indicates that Musk diverted a sizable shipment of AI processors that had been reserved for Tesla to his social media company X, formerly known as Twitter.
Tesla shares slipped as much as 1% on the news Tuesday morning.
By ordering Nvidia to let privately held X jump the line ahead of Tesla, Musk pushed back the automaker’s receipt of more than $500 million in graphics processing units, or GPUs, by months, likely adding to delays in setting up the supercomputers Tesla says it needs to develop autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots.
It’s the smart move. AI-powered full-self driving is still probably a long way off, if ever. But xAI — Musk’s new AI firm — just got another $6 billion worth of investments on its way to a $24 billion valuation.

The New Hotness? “The Northeast U.S. is bracing for an invasion of giant venomous spiders with 4-inch-long legs that can parachute through the air.”
Fortunately, America’s Newspaper of Record explained how the invasion of the Asian Murder Hornets was muted in 2020, so likely a similar approach could work next year against the parachuting giant spiders: Trump Retaliates Against Asian Murder Hornets With American Kamikaze Bears.
