Today, we’re launching Alpamayo 2 Super, our frontier open reasoning model for autonomous vehicles.

Beyond seeing, Alpamayo understands and reasons through the complex world - thinks before it acts.

It’s a powerful backbone for robotaxis, trucks, shuttles, delivery vans, tractors and the long tail of mobile robots—billions of autonomous machines someday.

We’re releasing it for commercial use under OpenMDW-1.1 so teams can inspect it, fine-tune it and deploy it—open models advance safety and security.

The next wave of AI is robotics—and it starts with autonomous vehicles.

Great work, Alpamayo team!

Lil Wayne comes out in full force defending one of President Donald Trump's biggest White House projects.

“When they was mad at him about building the ballroom, and he was like, 'Because everything we do, we have to do it on the damn lawn... People who don't know nothing [are] hearing that thinking he's just being Trump — no, for real, I was glad to hear him saying that,” the rap legend said in a recent podcast appearance.

He praised Trump's plan to build a massive White House ballroom, saying it would finally give performers an indoor venue instead of forcing them outside for major events.

Wayne pointed to his performance at then-Vice President Kamala Harris' 2023 celebration marking the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, which was held outside at the vice president's residence. He said it felt more like a "backyard barbecue" than a White House event, adding he was "glad" to hear Trump pushing for the ballroom project.

Trump has said the new ballroom will host state dinners, performances and other major events.

Steve Jobs paid Bill Gates $31,000 for software that shipped inside the Apple II - it only happened because Woz refused to write it

"we were begging Woz, please please make this floating point. and he just never does it"

Gates flew out and picked up the code on cassette tapes. the two companies born out of that deal are worth over $7 trillion today

by the end you'll know what Gates confessed about the "I'm a Mac" ads, and why Jobs called Apple a ship that leaks from the top

“We won $22 MILLION and our kids still don’t know and we don’t want to tell them “

Dave Ramsey: “Wait your own children have no idea?”

Caller: “Nope. Almost nobody does.”

Dave: “Why keep it a secret?”

Caller: “Because I want my kids to build a work ethic not grow up expecting millions.”

Dave: “Have you changed your lifestyle?”

Caller: “Not really. Same paid-off house. Same cars. We both still work.”

Dave: “That’s why you’ll stay wealthy.”

“Money doesn’t change your character.

It reveals it.”

Charlize Theron admits her own children are completely terrified of her and literally bawl their eyes out when they see what she actually looks like

"I have two girls and they're very very girly. They think of me as a princess and they want mom to look like a princess"

"I kind of veer more towards the kind of edgy, more masculine kind of jeans and t-shirt. And when I go to school functions my daughters are always like, 'Mom, can you please wear a dress'"

"they came back from school. I was in my bathroom and I was getting a cut, and it had been already colored. And I just remember looking over and they both came into the room really excited, and then they just both froze. And they just went... and one started crying. Like one literally started bawling her eyes out"

"And I had to actually sit down with her and say like 'we all get to be who we want to be. And right now mom wants to wear a mullet'. I don't tell you what to do with your hair... she said, 'I still don't like it'"

A 20-year-old ran a $400 record out of his dorm room. It grew into a label sold for $100,000,000.

1984, an NYU dorm room. Rick Rubin, a punk kid who can't play an instrument or work a mixing board, presses a rap single with a 16-year-old named LL Cool J. Cost to make: $400.

Freight trucks back up to his dorm and unload 40,000 12-inch singles at a time. He ships them to distributors across the country from a college bedroom.

"I Need a Beat" sells over 100,000 copies. He calls the label Def Jam and brings in Russell Simmons.

1985: the major labels notice. Columbia signs a distribution deal. Rubin, still 20, mails his parents a xerox of his first advance check, $600,000, to explain why he's skipping law school.

His method breaks every rule. He tells Esquire he knows nothing about music, that his job is taste and culture, not notes. He just listens.

The roster he builds: LL Cool J, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, Run-DMC, then Slayer. Beastie Boys' debut becomes the first rap LP to top the Billboard 200.

1999: Def Jam sells to Universal for $100,000,000. Rubin had already left in 1988 to build another label, then produced Johnny Cash, Adele, Jay-Z, and Kanye.

The audit: 9 Grammys, a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and a personal fortune near $300,000,000. He still doesn't play an instrument.

He couldn't read a note. He built hip-hop's biggest label from a dorm bed.

Dana White says an Elon Musk vs. Mark Zuckerberg UFC fight would generate $1,000,000,000 in revenue

Dana: “Zuckerberg takes this shit very seriously. He is a huge UFC fan. He trains, and he's an MMA fan”

Tyson: “Elon gonna fucking karate kick this motherfucker. Look how Elon looks. He doesn't even look like he's from this planet”

Dana: “Elon grew up doing judo. He's a legit judo guy”

Tyson: “That's why he wants to fight this young motherfucker. Intergalactic gymnastics”

Dana: “It's one of those fights that, if we did do that, I would build a killer undercard with tons of great fights, and then you'd have the main event. But think about how big that fight is. Two of the richest, most powerful guys in the fucking world are going to fight on the biggest stage ever. Everybody would pay for that. Who the fuck doesn't want to see that fight. That's the kind of fight your grandmother would watch”

“I think this thing does a billion dollars. A billion in revenue”

Mike Rowe says he still lives like he's making $200,000/year and only has 4 pairs of pants despite being a multimillionaire

“I'm living right now like I make maybe a couple hundred grand a year… I own 4 pairs of pants and like 5 shirts and most of those I stole from wardrobes on various shoots.”

Ben Affleck breaks down exactly how paparazzi manipulate the photos you see of celebrities.

Ben Affleck: “If someone’s taking a picture of me, it’s usually because I’m bummed I’m with my kids, trying to get somewhere, and there’s four guys on me. I’ll say, ‘Hey man, can you give me some time? I’m trying to be with my kids.’ And my face in that moment looks irritated.”

“Then they leave without taking the shot. I go inside, I’m having a great time. But that photo never gets taken only the irritated one does.”

“It’s this selective experience. Catch someone irritated, snap the photo, and that’s the only version anyone sees.”

Theo Von: “So it’s basically I’ll come piss you off, take your picture, and say ‘look how pissed off you are.’”

Ben Affleck: “Exactly. That’s the whole system. Follow somebody, antagonize them, hope they snap and have a breakdown on camera because that footage is worth way more money.”

They’re not capturing a moment. They’re manufacturing one.

So, to all liberal Western women:

Watch and learn.
THIS is what real feminism looks like.
