Sophie Cunningham’s viral pointing meme explained — (Video: AI) In a recent podcast interview, Fever guard Sophie Cunningham broke down the origin of her now-viral 22-second pointing staredown with DeWanna Bonner during a heated exchange in the Fever-Mercury game. It started after Caitlin Clark got a technical foul — Cunningham stepped in, pointed directly at Bonner, and held the intense stare as she was ushered away. “I was like, now Caitlin got one but why didn’t she get one?” Cunningham explained, defending her teammate and calling out inconsistent officiating in the moment. While Bonner and the Mercury got extremely triggered (as this AI video dramatizes with the emotional reactions and escalation), Cunningham and the Fever kept their cool and composure. The Cunningham clip exploded into countless memes, turning Cunningham into a WNBA internet sensation overnight. This kind of fire and personality is exactly what the league needs. What’s your favorite Sophie Cunningham pointing meme?

Daniel Painter on how a single open-source release moves the hardware market: "Literally the week that DeepSeek V4 dropped, the market tightness of H100s went up over 200% in less than a day. And then for the next month or two, the rental rates for H100s increased about 1% to 2% a day." "In just the week after, the one-year lease rate jumped up over 20% from the data we saw. That was an immediate repricing." "If you're in procurement at any AI company, or any company that just touches compute, you need to have the open source release calendar as a procurement risk. You need to." @NecessaryForm @squaretower_
