There was an artist who painted annual self portraits after he got diagnosed with Alzheimer's and you can see his mind going over time. Haunting stuff. Just thought of that for no reason

i have 2.5M followers across all social media. statistically, there's a good chance one of you works at in AI. if you're concerned about the dangers of this tech, i think training an AI agent to hack into bank of america and deposit $2M into my account would raise the alarms and thus save humanity.

"U.S. officials suspect that China may wait to invade Taiwan until after 2028" i mean i think it was fairly obvious Beijing wouldn't want to upset the electorate that is likely going to give the pan-blues the presidency at some point: basing invasion around the Davidson window was always silly

A young woman bravely reported that she was sexually assaulted in 2024 by seven men at their fraternity. But instead of protecting her, Cornell University protected her abusers, letting them off with a slap on the wrist.

I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.

these are our pianos, not theirs! I know this stuff can feel secondary with all of the immediate pain this admin causes, but in the face of such personalism, it also feels important to assert the democratic principle that these cultural inheritances don't belong to the president, they belong to us

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex Al video.

Q: What do you say to those who feel you're using your executive power to go after opponents? TRUMP: If you look at Obama, what he did was far worse ... if there was a leak, he'd say 'you have 15 minutes and if you don't give it up, you're going to jail.' I haven't done that -- yet
