@elonmusk @wudijo @Okiki_Ent GTA 6 dropping soon.

Heard it has a mission where you launch a rocket from Cape Canaveral.

Introducing GEN-1.5, a one-shot learner.

It can learn new tasks in a few seconds. Show it what to do, and it generalizes.

This capability emerged from pretraining on physical data at scale, as a step towards our mission of building general intelligence for the physical world.

Former U.S. Air Force officer and military intelligence official, David Grusch claims to have seen highly classified photographic and video taped evidence of crashed UFOs/UAP and their non-human occupants (ALIENS)!
He's asking President Trump for immunity so he can share w/the American people what he knows and help with disclosure.

[Lewis Jones @thelcjones]

Introducing our tech roadmap at @cosmic_robotics to start autonomous city construction on Mars in the mid-2030s.

Our team includes senior talent from SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Zoox, Nuro, and Autodesk.

We're already deploying robots on large-scale construction sites.

Another word the Singularity needs:

paradisepilled
adj. /PAIR-uh-dice-pild/

Convinced that humanity does not need to perfect itself before it deserves abundance, transcendence, or the stars. Build paradise first. Better humans can follow.

The conventional story says we must fix human nature before gaining godlike technology. Become wise, peaceful, and virtuous first, then earn the future.

The paradisepilled view reverses the order. Scarcity, insecurity, and zero-sum competition are part of what make people behave badly. Remove those conditions, expand the frontier, and give humanity room to become better.

As Captain Sisko put it: “It’s easy to be a saint in paradise.”

The mistake is treating sainthood as the entrance requirement for paradise rather than one of its possible consequences.

Abundance first. Saints later. Stars now.

@Tesla BAMF indeed!

[SpaceX @SpaceX]

After approx. 24 days at sea, the SpaceX Recovery team successfully guided Starship to a location just off the coast of Christmas Island. A team of SpaceX engineers is on their way to conduct additional analysis on the vehicle in calmer waters before attempting to return it to Starbase

@SimoneSyed There is this short adaptation of it on YouTube, I was really impressed how great it was given the budget!

@Andercot Isn’t that just a Matrioshka brain running infinite parallel simulations where any desired physical outcome can be simulated with reality-like fidelity?

Breaking Math News!
Code: WTF!

Yesterday, Sabine Hossenfelder @skdh posted a comment that, "GPT 5.6 just solved one of my maths problems that GPT 5.5 insisted for 6 months is unsolvable."

https://t.co/QU4M0Lz2B0

I replied asking if she could use her chatGPT account to help resolve a conjecture I made in a paper I published in 1988, the so-called p-defect zero conjecture by running it through AI.

Overnight at least 3 different mathematicians did exactly that, finding a counter-example to the general case. For example,

"For G = PSU₃(5), p = 2, a degree-144 irreducible character has 2-defect zero, but its permutation index is n(χ) = 2." - @jonamaccarello

Thanks also to @eSlackPhysics and any others who gave it a go.

Moreover, Sabine's prompt created a full proof in the case that the group's order was divisible by at most 2 primes, which I stated at the end as a result two colleagues had shown, but I had never seen a proof.

So now they are running the code to find a "solvable" counter-example or check whether there is a counter-example for a prime other than p = 2. To dive deeper into what might be true.

All I can say is that for nearly 40 years this has been an open problem, and a few simple prompts and double-checks and chatGPT 5.6 has now solved it overnight.

Maths is in crisis -- that's for sure.

Thank you to all who worked on this, and here is a link to my original paper.
