Ah ouais .. effectivement ça a l’air vachement bien Meloni… Voyez ce qui arrivera si l’extrême droite arrive au pouvoir chez nous.

Ils ont voulu faire un parcours pourri, ils vont avoir droit aux images de masse prises depuis des immeubles immenses. Bien fait ! 🇫🇷

Ils se rendent pas compte de l’image qu’ils créent jpp, un statue sensée représenter la république et qui porte un gilet jaune surplombée et surveillée par un hélicoptère, si c’était dans un film on trouverait ça too much
🇫🇷 FLASH - Un hélicoptère survole la place de la République à Paris pour vérifier le respect du couvre-feu dans le secteur. (via @CLPRESSFR)

I'm definitely not anti-achievement and never criticized real achievements, including by Elon. I even own two Teslas. I do expose marketing stunts that, while cool on the surface, are not the achievements they are claimed to be. Compressed air thrusters might give you acceleration boosts in any direction. They might even make your car hover for a couple of seconds if you accept replacing the passenger seat by a 400 liter high-pressure air tank. But they are not a path to actual flying cars. The same way Burt Rutan's SpaceshipOne was never going to be a path to orbital flights (just bunny hops out of the atmosphere). I am anti-Musk when it comes to politics. His political actions, the massive dissemination of disinformation through X and other channels, and his support for authoritarian regimes and racist ideas have the effect of weakening democracy and weakening human decency and social progress around the world.

I asked Opus 5.5 to make an intro for my programming language. WTF is this?
Bend 2 is here! It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via *proof checking* - the same technique big AI labs used to solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes. It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs. Watch the video. Link in the comments.

Can we build world models purely in the latent space, without pixel prediction? We present Contrastive World Models - we train the latent states to maximize mutual information with future observations, without any decoders / pixel reconstruction. Contrastive World Models enables ⚡ Substantially more robust representations 🤖 More efficient training by removing the pixel decoder entirely 🌍 A general approach with minimal assumptions [1/n]

🧮 Math v0.1.0 is out now! 🧮 We asked and Opus one shot... just kidding. Our resident expert @isaac_mason_ hand crafted the playful web's most optimized math engine. → allocation-free, monomorphic and benchmarked for speed → tiny and tree-shakable, only pay for what you use → works with webgl, webgpu, wasm or your favourite renderer → data-oriented design for the fastest possible code Includes a skill for juicing up your agent. Just /math and it will produce optimized algorithms for you. This should be an easy addition to any creative dev project. And the best part? 'npm i math' github.com/pmndrs/math

The paradox is that once a model is able to oneshot something, it becomes worthless. Doesn't matter how cool it is, since everyone will produce exactly the same and nobody wants to consume it.
Opus 5.5 on Max effort - "make a dynamic 15-second motion graphics video that shows what an incredible motion designer you are, like it's your showreel for a résumé. go all out."

that’s pretty cool! i also gave it a try with a different style direction and the result (after a few rounds of tweaking) is impressive

I imagine the Iranian engineers felt the same way about their air-gapped centrifuges
This is pure idiocy. They are going to communicate on CPU temp? They might get a baud rate of .01

At a high level, this was the full exploit chain. 1. HEIC/HEIF upload 2. ImageMagick decoding 3. Heap overflow on libheif 4. RCE on community.openai.com 5. Critical OpenAI SSO flaw 6. ChatGPT/Codex takeover 7. Connected GitHub access 8. Internal repo PR #1186742

This is the real Turing test if you think about it
Two days ago, GPT-6 Astra broke a yet unsolved German Army Enigma message from 1941. Amazingly Astra was able to autonomously: - Search historical archives - Compare uncertain letters - Find contextual clues - Build an Enigma simulator - Write cryptanalysis code - Run parallel experiments - Test competing keys - Recover the plaintext - Cross-check the results 1/n

We’re disclosing HEIF Heist, a months-long investigation into libheif that allowed us to hack OpenAI, Slack, Meta, GitHub Ent, Rails, Next.js, ImageMagick, and many more. It was literally xkcd #234, one obscure image library beneath a huge number of apps. 🧵
