In 1964 Richard Feynman picked up a single piece of chalk and solved, in 63 seconds, the problem AI labs will spend $20B trying to buy their way around in 2026.
November 9, Cornell University, lecture seven of the Messenger Lectures. Feynman lays out science in three steps: guess, compute the consequences, compare to experiment.
“if it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. that’s all there is to it. it doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is.”
sixty-two years later, every frontier lab is rebuilding that exact loop and paying for step three. September 2025, Anthropic discusses spending over $1B on “RL environments” for a single year. OpenAI’s 2026 R&D compute budget is projected around $19B
none of that money buys guessing - models guess for free. it buys a verifier: something that checks the guess against ground truth and hands back a reward.
Feynman did that job with a blackboard. the industry does it with billion-dollar budgets and calls it reinforcement learning.
compute buys the guess. only a verifier buys the truth.

Aora DJ just dropped a very real response.
She’s 25, known as Aora DJ, and the question she gets the most is: “Are you in a couple?”
Her answer: she won’t give more details.
What’s actually hitting her right now is the scale of everything.
She says she can barely process how big it’s getting… but she’s proud of it.
Because it lets her own her body, own her image, and show other women (especially the ones who go on holiday and get judged for it) that you can be yourself, be free, and not apologize for it.
She also addresses the comments.
Most of them come from men. A lot of them are not kind.
At the beginning it hurt. Now she just laughs.
She works with the agency behind @lesfillesalloret — the account that promotes safety and support for girls in Lloret de Mar.
And she ends it simply: she lives from her content, she’s happy this way.
Des bisous.
My take:
She’s not pretending the attention is pure. She’s just refusing to shrink because of it. That’s rarer than people admit.

Do you know this girl?
She’s the one who accidentally broke the internet with just one look and a bounce at a packed foam party.
In a red bikini, sunglasses perched on her wet hair, she turned toward the camera with that playful smirk… and millions of people instantly lost their minds. The clip racked up tens of millions of views in days and sparked endless memes about “that look.”
But she’s not just a random party girl. She’s a rising DJ who goes by Aora (or https://t.co/WanDktC0Dj). Her motto is “Every drop tells a story.” She plays energetic sets mixing house and electronic vibes, and before this viral moment she was already building her name in the scene.
One carefree summer night in the foam, and the whole timeline suddenly knew her face.
Yes — you guessed it.
This is Aora 🔥

🚨 BREAKING: Elon just nuked the entire media playbook in under 90 seconds.
Journalist: “You support the far-right!”
Elon: “No. You support the lunatic left.
What was completely normal 10-15 years ago is now called ‘far-right’…
because your side went completely insane.”
Safe cities. Secure borders. Biological reality. Common sense.
None of that is “far-right.”
It’s just not crazy.
The Overton window didn’t shift right.
The left sprinted off a cliff and started calling everyone who didn’t jump “extremists.”
Elon said it out loud.
And the media still can’t cope.
Lunatic left.
He’s 100% right.

🚨 BREAKING: Donald Trump shared photos of himself and Obama at ages 20 and 18 on his social media account.
Why does he constantly compare himself to Obama?
THE DEEP STATE FIRINGS HAVE COMMENCED.”
I didn't say that. Here is a direct quote from the NEW Director of National Intelligence -- Bill Pulte -- as of YESTERDAY.
Let me tell you what’s REALLY going on right now.
Trump has fired the NSA Director – General Timothy Hough. Gone. His deputy, Wendy Noble. Gone. National Counterterrorism Center — GUTTED. 18 agencies, hundreds of intelligence officers - FIRED.
The intelligence community in the United States employs 120,000 people. The PURGE has begun.
But here’s what they’re NOT telling you on the news:
IT IS NOT A CUT IN THE BUDGET.
On June 19, when Pulte arrived at the ODNI headquarters, he was given a classified briefing marked TIER-0 ACCESS ONLY. That building was what made him call the White House that same night at 11:47 PM.
I was told what was in those files:
OPERATION LOOKING GLASS – A domestic surveillance program that monitored 47 million American patriots using their social media activity, church attendance, and gun purchases. Active since 2014. Congress NEVER authorized. Run by 3 senior officials who report to NO ONE.
CONTINUATION OF CROSSFIRE -- The FBI probe into Trump did not end in 2017. It was passed down to a sub-unit inside ODNI and ran CONTINUOUSLY throughout his entire first term, his trial, AND his 2024 campaign. 23 agents. $89 million in secret money. They intercepted communications between Trump and 14 world leaders – and then LEAKED them to the Washington Post.
JANUARY 6 INFILTRATION FILES — Pulte learned there were 12 federal agents embedded in the crowd that day. Not watching. DIRECTION. Three are still functioning. Their handler is named in the file.
“Pulte is less tied down,” Trump told the Wall Street Journal.“ You don’t say that word by accident. He's LOOSE.
Just in: The Supreme Court just ruled 6-3 that federal judges can NO LONGER issue nationwide injunctions against him. The last legal safeguard is gone.
They won’t be able to stop the firings.
They can't conceal the files.
They can't guard the names.
Gabbard declassed the BIOLABS.
Pulte is downgrading the SURVEILLANCE.
The next DNI, Jay Clayton, will declassify EVERYTHING ELSE.
Phase 1: Reveal. ✓
Phase 2: Purification. ← WE'RE HERE
Phase 3: Prosecution.
Every patriot was spied on. They fed every journalist a pack of lies. Any agent who was undercover at a rally. All the money they had ripped off the black budget.
IT'S ALL COMING OUT.

At 3:00 AM a shadowy collective of cybercriminals dropped a global threat:
“Every Starlink ground station on the planet is now under our control. Transfer $500 million in Bitcoin within the next few hours… or watch the entire network go dark.”
Sixty seconds later Elon Musk replied:
“Appreciate the stress test. While you were busy drafting that ransom note, Neural-Auto-Patch pushed a silent micro-update that rerouted your entire attack chain into a non-responsive deep-orbit satellite we keep specifically for situations like this. Your command-and-control is now talking to empty space. Nice try. Next time maybe check the firmware first.”
The internet didn’t even have time to panic.

Warren Buffett is worth $84.5b run the same math with one variable changed - start the clock at 30 instead of 11 - and the number becomes $11.9m same investor. same 22% annual return. 99.9% of the fortune gone.
the number comes from morgan housel’s 2020 book, the psychology of money. the exercise: keep buffett’s real long-run return exactly as recorded, but start with $25,000 at age 30 and retire at 60, like everyone else does.
buffett’s actual clock starts decades earlier. age 11, 1941, three shares of cities service preferred at $38 each. paper routes, pinball machines, a tax return filed at 13. by 30 he already had roughly $9.7M in today’s dollars, most of it built before most people finish paying off student loans.
run 22% on $25,000 for the 30 years from 30 to 60. it compounds to $11.9m respectable. not a legend.
the other 34 years - 60 to 94 - are what turn $11.9m into $84.5b more than 99% of buffett’s fortune was built after his 60th birthday.
buffett has one line that explains the exercise better than the arithmetic does:
“someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”
nobody beat buffett’s rate of return by much. jim simons did, and by a wide margin. what nobody could touch was his clock. 70 years of compounding versus everyone else’s 30.
genius gets the headlines. time does the multiplying.
Terence Tao, UCLA professor and the most decorated mathematician alive:
adelaide, july 1983. an eight-year-old sits the sat math section and scores 760 out of 800. most american high school seniors don’t clear that number.
canberra, july 1988. terence tao is 13 years old and about to become the youngest gold medalist in the 29-year history of the international mathematical olympiad. two years earlier: bronze, age 10, the youngest competitor the imo had ever fielded. one year after that: silver, age 11. now gold.
flinders university hands him a bachelor’s and a master’s by 17. princeton takes him next. elias stein signs off on the phd in 1996. tao is 20.
ucla hires him as a full professor at 24. no tenure fight, no waiting line, no committee debate. he is still there.
“I don’t have any magical ability. I look at a problem, play with it, work out a strategy.”
2004: tao and ben green prove that prime numbers contain arithmetic progressions of any length you name, a question euclid didn’t have the tools to touch, 2,300 years earlier. 2006: the fields medal, age 31. after that: the macarthur fellowship, the royal medal, a $3M check from the breakthrough prize.
paris, 1984. a nine-year-old tao meets paul erdős at that year’s imo. erdős, the most prolific mathematician alive, has met young talent before. he has never met it this young.
erdős dies in 1996. the same year, in princeton, tao finishes his phd. one era closes the week the next one gets its paperwork stamped.
my read: the imo scoreboard reads bronze, silver, gold. that slope was never the interesting part.
the gift was never the ceiling. it was that nobody ever found one.
