I asked ages ago but didn’t get much of a response so I’m taking another swing at it. Does anyone following me either know how to read Cree or know someone who can?

Looks like OpenAI may have stolen another mathematicians work.

Screenshot of an X post by user Valerio Capraro (@ValerioCapraro) featuring text followed by an embedded photo of a man in glasses and a dark sweater against a forested outdoor background.
The post text reads:
"BREAKING: OpenAI might have stolen another major proof.
In a detailed Mastodon post, which I report in full in the comments, Andreas Thom presents several pieces of evidence suggesting that OpenAI may have trained Astra on conversations in which he and Gábor Kun were working on Gromov's soficity conjecture, one of the ten problems OpenAI later announced Astra had solved.
I know Andreas. We met several times early in our careers. He is an exceptional mathematician, a leading expert on sofic and hyperlinear groups, and one of the most respected scholars in the field. He has spent two decades working on this problem.
If his account is correct, this is not a minor dispute over attribution. It would mean that unpublished human work was absorbed into a model and then presented to the world as a breakthrough by the model itself.
And if the allegations raised by Levent Alpöge, Tristan Buckmaster, and now Andreas Thom are all substantiated, we are no longer looking at isolated incidents.
We may be looking at one of the greatest intellectual scandals in the history of science.
AI is not discovering new mathematics.
AI is stealing human discovery."

One of my poker buddies was talking about his son being a really good artist and how he had just finished a great Dr. Doom drawing. You know how parents always think their kids are a lot better at things than they really are? He sent me this picture:

Major kudos to Eric Bauza for making all the cartoons in Coyote vs. Acme sound right. There will never be another Mel Blanc, but this is the best I've ever heard.

Kudos to Ted Lasso for the gag where Coach Beard falls down backstage right after Ted finishes whistling, but mentions Macbeth.

It’s scary to think that if anything happens to Natalie Harp, JD Vance could become the most powerful person in the world.

There are going to be Democrats who say we shouldn’t rip it all out — it’s already built, we have other priorities — but removing the visible signs of Trumpism is absolutely necessary.

This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...

Suspicion and Doubt at the National Civics Contest

America’s finest young scholars competed to mark their country's birthday. It led to a disputed finish in the age of mistrust.

Without saying your age, what is your favourite movie released the year you turned 18? I turned 18 in 1982, one of the greatest years for movies ever. And yes, this beats out E.T. and Bladerunner and that says a lot about me.
