@elonmusk Economically, the strongest model is a balance of free enterprise, effective public services, and sensible regulation.

[Michael Kashkov @KashkovMichael]

@elonmusk Mostly agree. Left-wing radicalism is getting out of control in North America. But balance matters: free markets drive growth, while strong public healthcare, education, infrastructure, and a social safety net keep society fair and stable.

WTF... OpenAI just solved all five problems in the Algorithm division of the AtCoder World Tour Finals.

Using E869120's well-known difficulty scale, a 1500-rated problem is the kind of challenge researchers can spend months working on. The two 2500-rated problems go far beyond AtCoder's usual upper limit of around 1800.

Even the "easiest" 900-rated problem—one of the first three solved in just 38 minutes—is difficult enough that even world-class competitive programmers have roughly a 50-50 chance of solving it within the contest time.

The amount of time that the hardest problems humans can create are able to resist AI is getting shorter and shorter.

Congrat @OpenAI

@CHEK_News Only 132? That won’t even cover the NDP caucus ��� 💭

@LyteDork @Lawton_Braves @skdh Still unfortunately cherry-picking ^. If intelligence amplified cruelty, modern humans should be deadlier per capita than chimps. They aren’t: chimp lethal violence is ~271/100k/yr; global human homicide is ~5.8/100k (EU ~2/100k). Intelligence creates tools, but also restraint.

@Lawton_Braves @skdh I don’t think this is a salvation myth. Arthur C. Clarke ~ : "Advanced tech looks like magic from below". The difference with AGI/ASI is that the tool will be smarter than its inventors. Intelligence tends toward benevolence, a near-perfect world is the most probable outcome.

@skdh Infrastructure is the bottleneck for now

@FreeBrocTickle @nytimes We are Gods - we invented the notion of Gods. Science is the only thing that delivers miracles.

[Michael Kashkov @KashkovMichael]

@nyttypos @nytimes @KR_Callaway Irrelevant, since the synthetic cells can indeed eat, grow, and reproduce, which is factually correct.

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: Scientists reveal they have built a synthetic cell from scratch that can feed, grow, & replicate.

I wrote a column about this several years ago, that with AI image interpretation, ultrasound devices would become available widely and be used without doctors. Got some angry letters from doctors saying "no no, we're irreplaceable" 🤷‍♀️

That said, gatekeeping is a real problem when it comes to devices or procedures deemed as medical. We've seen this previously with DNA sequencing that doctors claim people without a medical degree are too dumb to deal with the information they might be getting.

Mid journey unveils the future of medical scanning:

"Less than a dozen of these machines operating together at full speed can do more full body scans than every MRI machine together on Earth. Our goal is to build a fleet of 50,000 of these scanners, capable together of doing a billion scans a month—enough to bring full body imaging to everyone on Earth."

Using thousands of specialized transducers, this prototype system shoots ultra-precise sound waves through the body at over 1,400 meters per second. As these sonic vibrations echo back, they are captured in data streams of 17 gigabytes per second, measuring changes finer than the width of an atom. A massive 2-petaflop compute ring then merges these thousands of sub-images to map out a highly detailed, 3D internal anatomy of organs and tissues in just 60 seconds.

"This is a new kind of infrastructure. It’s Full Body Ultrasonic Computational Tomography. No such device has ever been built until now, and yeah, we’re calling it the Midjourney Scanner."

My favorite quote from David, was that they want this to be a feel like a genuinely “nice” experience, not a “going to the doctor experience” they’re going to put these inside mid journey spas!

autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.

this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

@VancouverSun I don't understand why it's written on a food waste bin that putting inside leftovers in compostable bags is prohibited. LoL

[Michael Kashkov @KashkovMichael]

@Snake1633691791 @VancouverSun nope. it is not. it just poorly managed from time to time

[Michael Kashkov @KashkovMichael]

@JJ_McCullough She is nice... but her campaign was unfortunately too liberal... well... hence the results

@peatearwoodmen @DrexlSpivey18 @somerspsych @Nick_Decap @UBC you aren't helping them by giving food / same as with drugs. we need to give them a mandatory recovery and help with a real job (guaranteed elementary leg-in job)
