Hey guys,
https://t.co/VdOlzwWqSq will be down for a few hours while I release the DICOM files of Paloma and deploy improved backend security.
Due to the growth far exceeding my expectations, I rebuilt parts of the backend logic and strengthened the security measures.
What “Western Civilization” Really Means: Enlightenment, yes; Christianity, not so much. An important reminder from @FukuyamaFrancis https://t.co/DkSMog2qeC
... called The Mattering Instinct an "IMPORTANT BOOK: in 'the Mattering Instinct', Rebecca Goldstein explores why we seek to matter to ourselves and others, and why we should spend more time finding out what is important to other people."

Virginia Giuffre posted publicly: "I am not suicidal. Too many people with bad intentions want to silence me."
Her death was ruled a suicide on April 25, 2025. She was 41.
Our archive has 1,200+ documents referencing Giuffre. Her testimony named names no one else would.
🚨BREAKING: Yann LeCun just dropped a paper that should make every AI lab rethink its roadmap.
One brutal conclusion: chasing AGI is the wrong goal.
Here’s why:
→ Humans aren’t general we’re survival specialists.
→ Walking and seeing feel “general” only because they keep us alive.
→ Outside that zone, we’re terrible. Chess computers proved it decades ago.
→ Most AGI definitions today either can’t be measured or assume human = general.
We built the benchmark around the wrong species.
The team proposes a new target: Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence (SAI).
Not “can it do what humans do,” but: how fast can it learn something new?
The approach: specialized expert systems with internal world models + self-supervised learning built to master the massive task space that humans biologically can’t reach.
One giant model mimicking human limits isn’t the ceiling.
It’s the trap.
🚨 BREAKING.
Second night in a row. Islamists tried to set a vigil up for the Ayatollah in Manchester again.
AGAIN Iranians turned up and showed them what the death of the Islamic Regime leader actually meant to them.
More power to them in my opinion
Excited to share our new study using engineered immune proteins to quench inflammation in aged brains!!
Congratulations to @Paloma_Negredo and team!
Fantastic collaboration with several labs - Chris Garcia's lab, @rsaxton_, @theRafLab, @wysscoray, and @VilledaLab!
Everyone’s missing the real story here.
Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses need human data annotators to train the AI. When you say “Hey Meta” and ask the glasses to analyze something, that video gets sent to Meta’s servers, then routed to Sama, a subcontractor in Nairobi, Kenya. Workers there manually label objects in your footage. They see everything you recorded, intentionally or not.
7 million pairs sold in 2025 alone. Every single pair generates training data that flows through human eyes in Kenya. Workers told Swedish journalists they see people undressing, using bathrooms, having sex, and accidentally filming bank card details. One worker said “we see everything, from living rooms to naked bodies.”
Meta’s automatic face anonymization is supposed to protect people in the footage. Workers say it fails in certain lighting. Faces that should be blurred are sometimes fully visible. The person you recorded without knowing? A stranger in Nairobi can identify them.
Buried in Meta’s terms of service is one sentence doing enormous legal work: the company reserves the right to conduct “manual (human) review” of your AI interactions. That’s the legal cover for routing intimate footage from Western homes to a $2/hour labor force operating under NDAs, office surveillance cameras, and a strict no-questions policy. Workers say if you raise concerns about what you’re seeing, you’re fired.
This is the same company, Sama, that TIME exposed in 2023 for paying Kenyan workers $2/hour to label graphic content for OpenAI while being billed at $12.50/hour per worker. Workers described the experience as torture. Sama ended that contract, then pivoted to labeling Meta’s glasses footage. Same workforce. Same rates.
Meta markets these glasses as “designed with your privacy in mind.” The privacy design is a tiny LED light on the frame that most people don’t notice. The data pipeline behind it routes your bedroom footage to a contractor with a documented history of worker exploitation, failed anonymization, and union-busting lawsuits.
And the next generation of these glasses? Meta is planning to add facial recognition. The same system that can’t reliably blur faces in training data wants to start identifying them on purpose.
The LED light on the frame is doing about as much for your privacy as the terms of service nobody reads.
The first time I truly understood quantum search, it changed how I think about computing.
Most of us are used to classical search:
✓ One query
✓ One path
✓ One possibility checked at a time
Like sending a single agent into a maze and waiting for it to test every turn.
Quantum search works differently:
- Many paths explored simultaneously
- Multiple states existing at once through superposition
- Entire problem spaces evaluated in parallel
That shift is not just about speed.
It is about expanding how possibility is explored.
From my perspective studying emerging technologies, this feels like a structural leap. We are not just improving algorithms. We are rethinking how computation itself operates.
If this scales, optimization, logistics, cryptography, and scientific discovery could transform.
So here is the real question:
When machines stop thinking step by step and start thinking across parallel states, which industry changes first?

"Duendes" are one of the weird creatures I hope to see in person, especially after getting to know the people with access to this incredible corpse.
This specimen was DNA tested by a Chinese lab and found to be most similar to the Atacama specimen. The owner now plans to do comparative studies.
Did you know that Iran has a Metro station dedicated to the Holy Mary?
Why is there a station dedicated to the Holy Mary in Iran, but no such station in London, New York, Paris, or Rome?
If you claim to support human rights yet can’t bring yourself to show solidarity with those fighting for their liberty in Iran, you’ve revealed yourself. You don’t give a damn about people being oppressed and brutalised so long as it’s being done by the enemies of your enemies.
This is all testable now. We’re no longer in a time when skeptics or debunkers can claim they don’t have access to the evidence.
Both 2D and 3D medical scans have been released and are available for anyone willing to examine them.
Pubs are places that knit our towns and villages together.
If we lose them, we don’t just lose a small business. We lose a huge part of our way of life.
That's why I'm fighting to protect them👇
