Like many of you, I was troubled by my last guest. I’ve followed Jason Ladayne for over a year, and I’ve seen him do things with a deck of cards that left me flabbergasted, amused, bemused, amazed, and occasionally, gob smacked. Most of it, however, can be explained by raw skill. Jason is one of the best card mechanics to ever live, and when the cards are in his control, he can conjure up anything. But what he does in this clip takes things to another level.
Watch it and tell me what you think. I cut the deck several times when his back is turned. There’s no way he can see what I’m doing. After the final cut, which is left entirely up to me, I take three cards off the top, and put them into my shirt pocket. Jason tells me to remove one. Any one. I doesn’t matter which. And somehow, he knows what it is. Likewise, the other two.
How?
On the other hand, do I really want to know? I think I do. But the world is more interesting with a bit of mystery, right?
A mulher que construiu o ChatGPT saiu da OpenAI, ficou em silêncio por um ano, e o que ela acabou de lançar pode mudar pra sempre como você usa IA no dia a dia.
Mira Murati não fundou mais um chatbot. Ela foi atrás do problema que nenhum lab quis resolver: toda IA que existe hoje funciona por turnos. Você digita, espera. O modelo responde, espera. É tentar resolver uma crise por e-mail quando você poderia estar na mesma sala que a pessoa.
O que a Thinking Machines lançou hoje acaba com isso.
O modelo ouve, vê, fala, pensa e age ao mesmo tempo. Não é um pipeline costurado de componentes. É o modelo em si que foi treinado do zero pra funcionar assim.
→ Latência de 0,40s por turno. O padrão da indústria é 1 a 2 segundos.
→ Micro-turnos de 200ms intercalando input e output sem parar
→ Faz busca, usa ferramentas e gera interface enquanto conversa com você
→ Percebe quando você hesita e intervém antes de você pedir
→ Tradução simultânea em tempo real com as duas partes falando
A equipe: Mira Murati como CEO (ex-CTO da OpenAI), Soumith Chintala como CTO (criador do PyTorch), e contratações recentes da Meta em percepção multimodal.
O ponto técnico que vale gravar: eles citam o "bitter lesson" do Rich Sutton. Interatividade construída por componente externo sempre vai perder pra interatividade nativa ao modelo. Escalar o modelo o torna mais inteligente e mais colaborativo ao mesmo tempo.

Toda IA que você usa hoje vai parecer e-mail dentro de dois anos. E quem largou na frente dessa corrida não foi OpenAI, Google nem Anthropic.
Foi a empresa da mulher que eles deixaram sair.
Maria Bartiromo says affordability is a “hoax,” insists people aren’t really hurting, and claims the economy is booming thanks to $18 trillion in “new investment.”
Translation: if Wall Street’s fine, your rent, groceries, and medical bills don’t matter.
Elite denial, live on TV.
@Xylorak9@WallStreetApes but it’s not, medical institutions i have direct knowledge/experience w practice as shown & have internal policies which every employee down to support staff must sign a series of nad(s). research & what we can do to treat people is incredible, how we treat people is horrendous.
This American’s daughter needs a tonsil surgery. The doctor said it would only be about a 20 minute surgery
“In case anyone is curious at how f*cked up the United States medical system is, I just got an estimate — estimated cost $108,447.46”
Our healthcare system is extortion
I think I know why everything sucks...
...and it's because everything is fake
We are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach you fake education and get you fake jobs.
We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.
We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.
We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.
We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.
We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.
We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.
We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.
We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.
We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.
We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.
We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.
IT. IS. ALL. FAKE.
And we all yearn for what was once real.
Don't you remember? Did you forget?
There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.
When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!
When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.
When a family could live off a single income.
When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.
When schools was HARD... and that was the point!
When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,
When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.
When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.
And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.
@ksorbs details of how it’s all coordinated, how does it function? Who are these people that are actually doing the protesting and how are they found in put into this position? What do they really think about what they’re doing on a deep personal level? etc…..
A doctor who treated men with erectile problems for 20 years revealed what slowly destroys men's sexual health.
He said, “Most men damage their sexual health without even realizing it.”
Every man should read this...
