We could have all woken up to “OpenAI and Anthropic team up, solve Navier-Stokes cleanly, fully formalized but also here is a nice explanation by Tao, here’s how we can all happily improve math together” but alas, the world does not yet work that way.

I'm incredibly excited to announce the founding of the Mathematical AI safety Institute (MAISI) https://t.co/7h28dBocA6. AI safety needs more foundational theoretical development, and mathematicians have the skills and the mindset to help! MAISI is an independent institute with visiting positions ranging from 1 semester to 2 years. Our goal is to get mathematicians up to speed and working on research directions in AI safety as quickly as possible. There is important work to be done, and there is real progress to be made. YOU can help!

Applications are open now! MAISI is aiming to hire 10-30 mathematicians to join us in the Bay Area by January, and scale up to 30-100 for September 2027. If you're a mathematician interested in channeling your skills toward the most important problem of our time, please apply today! https://t.co/PTWQh0MK3T

A song paused the night. And turned it into a farewell.

Mid-performance, when Rishab Rikhiram Sharma heard the news of Asha Bhosale’s, he did not stop the music. He let it speak.

“Abhi na jaao chorh kar…”

Each note carried the weight of a legacy. A quiet, heartfelt tribute to Asha Bhosle on her birth anniversary, whose voice has lived in our homes, our journeys, our memories.

For a few minutes, the crowd was not just listening. They were remembering.

Because some artists never really leave. They stay in the songs we hum without thinking, in the emotions we cannot quite put into words.

The canon way to act after solving a Millenium Prize problem is to drop the proof and walk away

As Grigori Perelman said:

"I have all I want. If the proof is correct, then no other recognition is needed."

solved a millennium problem. refused the medal. refused the million dollars. had to be chased for credit instead of fighting for it. no ai btw.

[eigenron @eigenron]

we made ai to solve millennial proofs and it immediately encountered the hardest unsolved problem in academia: who gets the credit

So Astra is able to identify sounds from mel spectrograms

I don't think we've scratched the surface of what this model can do (and this is light reasoning btw)

In 1910, you could buy a bicycle for $11.95 from Sears.

Entry-level wages were $0.11 an hour, meaning it took unskilled workers 108.6 hours to buy a bicycle.

Today, an entry-level worker can buy a bike at Walmart after working for just 5.2 hours.

If this is the level of AI creations, then it's over for Hollywood and big production houses.

This galaxy has a special place in my heart, as it was the first I'd found and captured from my light polluted backyard in Sacramento all those years ago. I hope my portrait does it justice!

"Capitalism has been called a system of greed—yet it is the system that raised the standard of living of its poorest citizens to heights no collectivist system has ever begun to equal, and no tribal gang can conceive of." — Ayn Rand

“people wouldn’t commit crimes if they could just afford food”

they would, actually.

Finland studied this by giving people UBI, and it had precisely zero impact on crime

Ridiculous, the social media bubble is going to burst any day now

“Everyone’s terrified, convinced the studios don’t need artists anymore. It’s the artist that doesn’t need the studios.”

Yes! Every word of this. So well said. I love this video so much.

[The Better India @thebetterindia]

It didn't take a government order or a massive budget to save this forgotten piece of history.

It took one person who refused to look away.

When Abbayi Kanth shared the heartbreaking condition of an ancient stepwell in Andhra Pradesh's Peapully Mandal on social media, people across the region responded with action.

More than 300 volunteers came together to clear years of plastic waste, food packets, coconut shells, temple offerings, and neglect, revealing the historic stepwell hidden beneath.

The restoration is more than a clean-up story. It is proof that civic sense begins when ordinary people decide that preserving our heritage is everyone's responsibility.

This Independence Day, The Better India presents #CivicSenseHeroes, a campaign to honour everyday Indians who don't just love their country, but care for it through action.

Know someone making a difference in their community? Nominate your #CivicSenseHero.

It is less than a decade since the development of the transformer.

Less than four years since the release of GPT-3.5 (ChatGPT).

Less than two years since the release of o1-preview (the first Reasoner).

[Milton Friedman Quotes @MiltonFriedmanW]

Milton Friedman:

“Inflation is just like alcoholism. In both cases when you start drinking or when you start printing too much money, the good effects come first. The bad effects only come later.”

“That’s why in both cases there is a strong temptation to overdo it: to drink too much and to print too much money.”

“When it comes to the cure, it’s the other way around. When you stop drinking or when you stop printing money, the bad effects come first and the good effects only come later. That’s why it’s so hard to persist with the cure.”
