Trump White House misspells “United” on the official “super intelligence” document with AI executives. Instead of “President of the United States,” it reads: “President of the Unites States.” Nothing says “super intelligence” quite like misspelling the name of the country.
Screenshot of a Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump’s verified @realDonaldTrump account displaying a signed document titled “Joint Commitment on Frontier Responsibilities.” The document outlines voluntary AI safety and oversight commitments for companies developing frontier artificial intelligence models. On the right side are signatures and company labels for leaders including Sundar Pichai of Google, Dario Amodei of Anthropic, Mark Zuckerberg of Meta, Greg Brockman of OpenAI, Elon Musk of xAI, and Jensen Huang of Nvidia. Near the center-right, Donald J. Trump’s large signature appears above the printed title identifying him as president. The title contains a noticeable typo: instead of “President of the United States,” it reads, “President of the Unites States,” misspelling “United” as “Unites.”

While reviewing the Steam Frame, I replayed all of Half Life: Alyx. It's still a singular game, and on the new hardware it sings. But to play it now is to be confronted with the possibility that nobody will be allowed to make a VR game of that scope ever again. aftermath.site/half-life-al...

Will There Ever Be Another Half-Life: Alyx?
Half-Life: Alyx remains the big budget killer app of VR. But playing it again makes you wonder if anyone will match that ambition.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

this is awesome: during the Grand Prix, cameras caught Donny and Melania bickering with each other — then, after Melly realized that Natalie Harp was in the room, she got up and left in a huff. thank you for your attention to today's post, where I mock all that shit. link is here: bit.ly/4gpUuo1
now, do we have any lip-readers in the room? I’m asking because Donny and his Slovenian rent-a-wife were definitely not enjoying each other’s company during the race, and it showed.

which of the five languages that Melly claims to speak do you imagine she was using to bark at Donny?

but wait — it gets better. so much better.

    Melania leaves as soon as Natalie Harp is spotted in the booth.

oh my god oh my god oh my god. shoot that shit directly into my veins.

A woman runs off a cliff. Her friend points and states "you've gona and run off the cliff..." The first woman, floating in midair says "that's OK. This is a cartoon." With confidence, she points to herself with her thumb and says "if I don't look down I won't fall." An incredibly low flying plane trockets by and sucks her into the jet engine, spewing viscera out the back with a BZZZZZZHHH much to the other woman's horror.

Quick reminder that right brained/left brained concepts are a myth. While hemispheres have different functions, your brain has plasticity and being good at STEM doesn’t mean you can’t be creative/artistic/musical or vice versa. Believing you can’t is the only limitation.
