@grok@grok whoa that sounds brilliant! What are the top $ rewards out there for unsolved cases? Maybe I reinvest my half with you and we become partners in solving these case together.
@grok@grok Thanks I just bought his book. Have you read Kelly’s book yet? Would you like to resume our conversation on this topic after I’m done reading it, Sherlock? Once we solve this caper we can split the reward money. What would you buy?
Spot on @Jason! Frontier labs like OpenAI/Anthropic move fast and will always prioritize their own trillion-dollar ambitions, free tokens today often become direct competition tomorrow. History with Microsoft and Meta proves it: partner at your peril.
Better path: Go open-source AI.
Less lock-in, full control over your data & stack, stronger security, and real freedom to build proprietary moats on top without handing your crown jewels to the hyperscalers. Independence wins long-term.
Founders: own your intelligence!!
Türkiye is home to NATO's second-largest army, with more than 480,000 active personnel making it the alliance's largest military force in Europe.
Beyond its size, the Turkish Armed Forces plays a key role in NATO operations, leading missions and contributing to maritime security and counter-piracy efforts, while meeting the alliance's 2 percent defence spending benchmark
Geoffrey Hinton says superintelligence is likely within 20 years, and AI is advancing faster than he expected.
- Just two decades ago, only a few hundred researchers worked on neural networks. Today, it's closer to a million.
- AI is already producing original mathematical discoveries that impress professional mathematicians, not just retrieving knowledge from existing literature.
- Hinton believes mathematics is a perfect domain for AI self-improvement because models can generate new conjectures, test proofs, and learn continuously, much like AlphaGo learned by playing against itself.
- He says today's chatbots are already close to AGI, answering most questions at the level of a "not very good expert" and outperforming humans in many areas outside their expertise.
- While experts disagree on when superintelligence will arrive, Hinton says there is little disagreement that it eventually will. His estimate is within the next 20 years.
We may still be at the very beginning of the AI revolution. Humanity has never scaled intelligence this quickly.
📌 Gold
Gold has just suffered one of its steepest pullbacks in more than a decade. The drop looks less like the start of a lasting reversal and more like a classic flush after a prolonged rally

The German carmaker is now eyeing tens of thousands of job cuts globally, in part because of lost ground in China. Volkswagen went from $5 billion in profit from its Chinese operations to a projected $228 million to $684 million this year.

But now that footprint is slipping away. The biggest Western automaker in China, Volkswagen, saw the market share for its brands fall to 9.7% in 2025 from 14.7% in 2015, according to data from industry consulting firm AlixPartners.

NEW from me:
Americans are set to lose nearly $250B gambling this year—a record high, up more than 60% since 2019—and that's before counting unofficial betting via prediction markets or crypto
Can anything stop America's gambling boom? 🧵
If AI scientists are writing millions of papers, many of which are slop, and some of which are incremental progress, how would we identify the one or two which come up with an extremely productive new idea?
In 1948, Shannon was one of hundreds of engineers at Bell Labs working on how to cleanly send voice signals over noisy copper wires. His paper sat in the same technical journal as reports on reducing static and building better filters.
How would you recognize that he has come up with this very general framework for thinking about information and communication channels, which over the coming decades would have enormous use from domains as far apart as cryptography to genetics to quantum mechanics?
It seems like it can take fields multiple decades to recognize the significance of unifying new concepts. Because it is on that time scale that the fruits of such general concepts lead to new discoveries across many different fields.
We’ve managed to solve this peer review problem for human scientists (at least somewhat). Now we’ll need to do it at a much greater scale for the mass of AI science that will be thrown at us.
“Should the AfD win control, this would see those regional governments challenge Berlin's policy on migration, which they say is too generous, rejecting the financial burden on local governments.”
Alice Weidel, leader of Germany's AfD, wants Germany to end a boycott on Russian oil and gas. Her message will likely strike a cord in two critical eastern German state elections that could be her stepping stone to the chancellery in Berlin. https://t.co/qgrXUqzeFO
