China just ran out of GPUs for its newest AI model — not because of US export controls, but because too many people wanted to use it. Moonshot AI paused new subscriptions for its Kimi K3 model after 48 hours of demand maxed out GPU capacity, protecting existing users while scrambling to add compute

We spent years worrying AI would replace human judgment, but the real problem is worse: it's making us confidently incompetent. Researchers found AI advice made people 3x less accurate while doubling their confidence, a toxic combination that suppresses critical thinking
