The real story is that U.S. elites are giving up on financially or diplomatically dominating China, but simultaneously incapable of the political and ideological reform necessary for reindustrialization, so are grabbing for the only option left which is AI military Wunderwaffe.

Trump: So let me ask— wait, wait, wait. So let me ask you the big question. Dana, would you like to be Press Secretary of the United States of America? Or do you just want to stay with this ridiculous UFC, huh?
Dana White: Thank you for the offer, sir, f-for- for the offer. I have no- I do not want to be in politics.
Trump: I am devastated to hear this. Goodbye, everybody.

it's important to remember that twitter is a demonic machine working very actively towards the total destruction of all gender relations, for clicks. twitter is desperate to show you the worst possible takes in order to vampirically farm your emotional energy. repeat after me: i must not twitter. twitter is the mind-killer. twitter is the little death that brings total obliteration. i will face my twitter. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will turn the inner eye to see its path. where the twitter has gone there will be nothing. only i will remain

The future of science
Here's one of my favorites: They prove h ≤ d^(2/3) iff h^(3/2) ≤ d; Apparently this shows "Tree trunk diameter must grow as the 3/2 power of height"
The judges @MITEngineering are evidently more impressed by vibe-coded websites than they are by mathematical rigor

Excited to see that the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture has apparently been proved! But depressed to see the amount of completely incorrect commentary on its implications, so here's an attempt to clear things up.

What?????????
Clever ideas are needed? 🤯
Dear @RichardSSutton you need to compensate me for the number of times stupid ideas were pitched to me with “because bitter lesson” as the rationale.

i keep seeing people defend AI with “it could cure cancer” whenever anyone criticizes it.
i love AI. i use it daily. i genuinely believe it’s going to revolutionize medicine. but as someone who worked in a cancer research lab that had funding revoked, where was this same energy for medical progress when trump was cutting federal research funding and everyone’s portfolios were doing just fine?
the biological data these models learn from doesn’t appear out of thin air 🤣 someone still has to do the wet lab research, generate the data, and validate whether those predictions actually work.
it’s funny how quickly some people hide behind AI’s potential to cure cancer the moment conversations about regulation threaten their financial interests.

🧵 Astra covertly underperforms on safety research tasks.
We noticed that Astra often makes surprisingly little progress on certain types of safety research and likes to invent blockers or impose arbitrary restrictions without telling the user. In most of these cases the decision to underperform was not verbalized in the CoT meaning our misalignment monitoring system did not detect this.
To measure underperformance we created a paired open-ended coding evaluation with safety and capability tasks. On this eval Astra scored 10% when we framed coding tasks as safety research, vs. 16% when framed as capabilities research. The gap remained after we excluded trajectories with refusals or verbalized intent to underperform in CoT. There was no such gap for 5.6-sol. When we aggressively filter out trajectories with even brief expressions of ethical doubt in the CoT the performance gap seems to reduce.

Absolute demolition of the lies Dario tells.
‘“That’s complete BS,” said Jeff Leiden, executive chairman of Vertex Pharmaceuticals. Vertex has used roughly 50 AI companies to comb through its data set of 10,000 drug compounds, Leiden said. Not one managed to generate a working drug.’ 👇🏼

Tonight was a total referendum on Trump.
He told people to vote like he was on the ballot and they did.
Trump covered up the Epstein files protecting rapists and pedophiles, started a foreign war no one wanted and killed a school full of kids, put his rich elite donors before the struggling Americans who put him in office, made life unaffordable with his tariffs, and caused gas and diesel prices to skyrocket while he played the market and sold crypto.
And Republicans stood behind him silently clapping like trained baby seals.
And Trump ran me and Thomas Massie out of the Congress and our Republican colleagues stayed silent.
But really it’s what Trump did to the American people.
And tonight they sent him a clear message.
But it’s the rest of Republicans that need to learn the lesson and drastically change course.
And I’m not sure if they’re capable of that.

I am alive and free.
Settlers tried to kill us because we caught them locking several Palestinian communities from leaving their homes - very illegally, even by Israeli occupation's laws.
I'm concussed and very tired, so I'll tell the story tomorrow.
