@egodeathceo That is a great compliment.

Lmao, zuck took the "muse" handle on Instagram for his new AI thing, and now the world-famous band with nearly 3m followers that's been around for 25 years has been given "museband"

[Mithrandir @__glamdring]

@shervinfazel @markgurman That's my point.

Being just "competitive" is not enough.

Apple is the largest consumer tech company in the world, they should be pushing the industry forward, not just adding the bare minimum and adopting improvements that other companies released years ago.

Rumor is that anthropic is close to finishing the Winds of Winter. They plan to announce it at their IPO. They really hope someone else doesn't try and scoop them and release it first......

OpenAI spent $15m in tokens to solve a problem with a $1m prize. Standard AI economics here

[Gary Marcus @GaryMarcus]

OMG. I guess we have our answer from OpenAI

“we stole it fair and square”

Not one goddamn mention in the tweet of the human mathematicans they were in communication with, and whom they may well have ripped off.

[Read https://t.co/Z5osESGAUk for what OpenAI did not admit in the tweet.]

Absolutely disgusting.

[Exomnium @Exomnium]

all other allegations aside, "we caught wind that a mathematician might be about to solve a famous problem so we spent $15 million on tokens to scoop them" is exactly why OpenAI is completely full of shit when it says it wants to work with the academic community in a positive way

[Ryan Orhan @rynorhn]

this guy fucking called this months ago.

openai asked researchers to come use their models and do research with them.

now, a few months later:

math researchers getting fucking scooped by the lab they trusted with their work.

what a fucking precedent.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.

The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.

The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

Exacto, si "alguien como Bolsonaro" llegara al poder, atacaría los contrapesos, capturaría al INE y al Tribunal Electoral, purgaría la Suprema Corte y el Poder Judicial, liquidaría al INAI, debilitaría el pluralismo, militarizaría al país...

...y distribuiría una Cartilla Moral

For the first time, scientists have mapped the complete brain and central nervous system of an adult male fruit fly — a key model organism in science. 🪰

Working alongside HHMI Janelia Research Campus and the scientific community, @GoogleResearch scientists and researchers used AI to combine millions of 2D images into 3D neural shapes, reconstructing a record-breaking 166,000+ neurons. This foundational map of the adult male fruit fly brain can help accelerate our understanding of the brain, and is a major milestone in neuroscience.

Se me hizo tarde por quedarme viendo edits del Chino Huerta.

Valió cada minuto.

babe wake up, new term just dropped

[Carlos López @cifl04]

Yo.
Yo con el regreso del chino Huerta

[Soda @fredsoda]

the reason why i've discarded the "u.s. vs. china" framing is because its totally useless at this point

china is intersted in building civilization and taking it to levels we have never seen before as a species

the u.s. (& west as a whole) just wants to maximize nominal GDP

two different projects, two different outcomes

A developer using Bluetooth headphones accidentally caught Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba secretly hijacking his computer's audio system without making a single sound.

When his wireless headphones refused to switch audio to his phone while browsing AliExpress, he inspected the site's hidden code. He discovered background scripts holding his computer's audio pipeline wide open.

Alibaba was using the browser's WebAudio API to run invisible sound waves at zero volume. By measuring tiny hardware differences in how each computer processes those signals, the site created a unique digital fingerprint to track devices.

Because the secret audio path stayed active, it froze his Bluetooth connection while quietly scraping hardware memory, screen dimensions, and network data in the background.
