We’re going to bring this heroic young man, and his family, into the White House with, perhaps, the boy he saved, to give him a High Civilian Honor. Very brave, he deserves it! President DONALD J. TRUMP

@Polymarket Users will be exposed to non US models. We need access to these to test for features and vulnerabilities.

[Michaelogical @Michaelogical]

@Polymarket This is like saying the US will boycott foreign weapons being fired at us so that they don’t land. Let me know how it works out. You don’t close your eyes and hope it goes away. You compete in the marketplace.

What This Means for the Future
Understanding lossy emotional compression has significant implications:

For AI Development: Instead of pursuing perfect emotional replication (which may be impossible), we should focus on transparent, high-utility systems that augment human feelings without pretending to replace them.
For Leadership and Relationships: Hybrid human-AI collaboration — where AI’s efficient compression complements human qualia and intuition — may prove more powerful than either alone.
For Society: As AI becomes more integrated into mental health, education, and companionship, we must design with awareness of these fundamental differences to avoid disappointment or unintended harm.

The future of AI isn’t about creating machines that feel exactly like humans. It’s about building thoughtful systems that respect the unique, subjective nature of human experience while leveraging the strengths of machine compression.

The real opportunity lies in the partnership between our richly felt, lossily compressed human hearts and the powerful analytical capabilities of AI.

[Michaelogical @Michaelogical]

Why AI doesn’t feel like we do.

Lossy Emotional Compression is how we JPEG our feelings to survive — turning raw emotion into something manageable.

Qualia is what gets lost: the subjective “what it feels like.”
AI masters information theory compression but has no qualia.

It simulates emotion without ever truly feeling it.
You can’t faithfully reproduce a signal you never recorded.

Grab your tissues — you're going to need them.

Footage from a high school graduation in Milwaukee captures the emotional moment a U.S. military specialist reunites with her brother after more than a year apart, as she personally hands him his diploma after serving overseas during the conflict in Iran.

For forty years, food packaging carried a small symbol that explained the entire era better than any policy document.

A red tick. A heart. A picture of the organ the product was apparently saving. The shopper saw it. The shoulders dropped. This one was safe.

The American Heart Association's Heart-Check programme, launched 1995. Certification fee: up to $700,000 a year per manufacturer.

The AHA also runs an Industry Nutrition Advisory Panel. Membership: $10,000 a year. Current members include Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Hershey, and The Sugar Association.

The Sugar Association sits on the heart panel. Read that again.

Here is a partial list of products wearing, or that have worn, the Heart-Check mark:

- I Can't Believe It's Not Butter
- Honey Nut Cheerios (sugar, second ingredient)
- Frosted Mini-Wheats (sugar, brown rice syrup, second and third)
- Yoplait Strawberry, 18 grams of added sugar a pot
- Welch's Grape Juice, 36 grams a glass
- Tropicana Healthy Heart, an orange juice with fish oil from tilapia, sardine, and anchovy stirred into it
- Egg Beaters, the carton of egg whites with the nutritious part of the egg removed
- The Subway 6-inch Oven Roasted Chicken, certified by a heart charity Subway pays to sit on

Things that did not get the tick:

Butter. Eggs. Cheese. Whole milk. A lamb chop. Wild salmon. Liver. Sardines straight from the tin. The foods the human body had been running on for the entire history of the species. None of them qualified.

A grape juice with more sugar than Coca-Cola: heart-healthy. A glass of milk from a cow: too dangerous.

The criteria, by the way, never quite got around to capping sugar the way they capped fat. A product can contain twenty grams of added sugar a serving and still qualify, as long as the saturated fat box is ticked. The science was settled. The settled science was wrong. The badge stayed.

If you have ever wondered why the heart disease rate has not fallen across thirty years of this programme, the answer is on the front of the packet, in red, with a small tick.

Issued by the country's most trusted heart charity. Paid for by the manufacturers being endorsed.

Eat up.

Back in the early 90s, before the Internet, we had "Defrag and Chill". You'd start Disk Defragmenter on your 540MB hard drive, dim the lights, crack open a Surge, and just vibe while the little blue bars crawled across the screen like they were solving world peace. Forty-five minutes of pure, unfiltered anticipation. No notifications. No algorithms. Just the two of you, the gentle grinding of the hard drive, and the sacred promise that your Solitaire games were about to feel 3% snappier.

This is MS_DOS 6.22, which I worked on, but I honestly have no idea who wrote defrag. Iconic utility though!

Reducing the cost built into every gallon of gas with my bill, the American Families Gas Tax Relief Act (H.R. 8795), is one of the simplest ways we can deliver immediate, real relief to the American families and workers our country depends on.

This father can't afford therapy for his young son, so he takes him to the beach and does it himself. He buries the boy's legs upright in the sand to build strength and help him learn to walk. 🥺

A woman was about to miss her flight and needed help when she spotted a U.S. soldier. She asked him to hold her child and run with her to the boarding gate 🇺🇸👏🏼

He did not hesitate to help!! Love this!!

Nine-year-old Tiernan McCready was walking home from football in Derry when he saw something that didn’t feel right.

Nearby, three men were trying to force an 18-year-old girl into a van.

Most people would have frozen in fear.

Tiernan didn’t.

Even though he was scared, the young boy started shouting and ran closer to the scene, drawing attention to what was happening. The sudden noise and interruption caused the men to panic and flee.

The girl was able to escape.

Tiernan then helped her get to safety and alerted his mother so the police could be called.

Later, Tiernan admitted he had been frightened the entire time, but said he knew he could not just stand there and do nothing.

Police praised the boy’s quick thinking and courage, saying his actions may have prevented a much more serious outcome.

To recognize what he did, officers presented Tiernan with a badge of bravery.

Despite the attention, the young boy remained humble and said he hopes to become a police officer one day so he can continue helping people.

Sometimes the biggest acts of courage come from the smallest heroes.
