People are realizing that AIs are nowhere near human intelligence and learning abilities.
Yet they have become very useful by compensating for their lack of common sense, lack of understanding of reality, and limited reasoning and planning abilities, by the accumulation of enormous amounts of declarative knowledge.

Dario is wrong.
He knows absolutely nothing about the effects of technological revolutions on the labor market.
Don't listen to him, Sam, Yoshua, Geoff, or me on this topic.
Listen to economists who have spent their career studying this, like @Ph_Aghion , @erikbryn , @DAcemogluMIT , @amcafee , @davidautor

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu.

Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran?

Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to president Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused. The only president who has agreed to this, obviously, is President Trump

@RnaudBertrand Persia is the oldest existing civilisation. It’s not going to disappear because of an orange lunatic. Rutte should be ashamed for not standing up to human values.

NEWS: Massive budget cuts for US science proposed again by Trump administration

"It's an extinction-level event for science".

The US government is proposing massive cuts to almost every branch of science, from NASA to the National Institutes of Health. NSF would completely eliminate the social, economic and behavioral sciences directorate.

This would decimate the world's leading scientific system.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

Socrates in 460 BC: “The unexamined life is not worth living.”

Marcus Aurelius in 150 CE: “You have power over your mind—not outside events.”

Augustine of Hippo in 400 CE: “Do not go outside; return into yourself. In the inward man dwells the truth.”

These numbers are pretty crazy: China exported over 1.5 million vehicles in Jan-Feb, which corresponds to ~9 million on an annualized basis.

I checked, Japan at its peak exported 6.7 million vehicles a year (the 1985 record: https://t.co/CdzO2xpDsk) and Germany never reached more than 4.4 million (in 2016: https://t.co/I4OxaQRpDL).

Which means that China right now is not only the world's largest car exporter, it's the largest car exporter in history, and by a huge margin.

And it happened super fast: just 5-6 years ago they were only exporting 1 million vehicles a year, now they do 1.5 million in just 2 months!

WSJ: To help make the case on Iran, Graham traveled several times to Israel in recent weeks, meeting with members of the country’s intelligence agency. “They’ll tell me things our own government won’t tell me,” he said. He spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, coaching him on how to lobby the president for action. https://t.co/nsZToELwkn

We live in a country where an alcoholic from Fox News runs our military, a former heroin addict is in charge of our health, and they both report to a convicted felon.

What a time to be alive.

@TheStalwart it's weird that people who found themselves going from non-coders to super-coders in one day think that they have some sort of "lead" on people who haven't opened the app yet
