Today, Elon Musk, a trillionaire, pays the same amount into Social Security as someone making $184,500.
If we end that absurdity and lift the cap on taxable income, we can make Social Security solvent for 75 years and expand benefits by $2,400. My Social Security bill does that.

“Türk pasaportu neredeyse emlakçıda satılacak. Emlakçıya pasaportları koyacaklar, ev alana orada pasaport verecekler.
Benim vatandaşlarım da vize ofislerinin önünde k*pek muamelesi görüyor.”
Many of these policy ideas have common-sense appeal across the political spectrum, and the sooner we act on them, the sooner everyone shares in AI's benefits.
Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178
This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.
I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!
Before limited-releasing Claude Mythos Preview, we investigated its internal mechanisms with interpretability techniques. We found it exhibited notably sophisticated (and often unspoken) strategic thinking and situational awareness, at times in service of unwanted actions. (1/14)
İspanya, İtalya, Almanya vb. Avrupa ülkelerinin vize randevularını bot yazılımlarla kapatan sözde vize şirketleri:
Vatandaşın ücretsiz olan vize randevu hakkını 250 Euro’dan 400 Euro’ya kadar satıyor. Siz aylarca bekleyi, alamazken bunlar sizin hakkınızı pazarlıyorlar.
Kısaca: Bir karaborsa sistemi kurmuşlar.
Bu şirketlerden randevu almazsanız randevu bulmanız neredeyse imkânsız. Randevular saniyeler içinde tükeniyor.
Bu korsan vize şirketleri yılda milyonlarca dolar kazanıyor.
Avrupa Birliği yetkililerine bu hafta gönderdiğim delillerin ardından inceleme başlatıldığını söylediler.
Umarım bu video bir ihbar olarak kabul edilir ve Türkiye’de bu kişiler hakkında soruşturma başlatılır.
Yaptığım bu çalışmaların gündem olması ve devamı için beni takip edip, videolarımı paylaşabilirsiniz.
Tech execs warn AI could concentrate wealth so much it breaks society.
But AI didn’t build itself. It was trained on our ideas, funded by our tax dollars, & powered by shared resources.
If Big Tech makes billions from what we helped create, the American people deserve a share.

Bilimi makamın, demokrasiyi gücün önüne koyan; siyasette nezaketin, uzlaşının ve tevazunun da mümkün olduğunu gösteren saygıdeğer bilim insanı, merhum Genel Başkanımız Erdal İnönü’yü 100. yaş gününde saygı ve rahmetle anıyorum.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
A 24-year-old Polish tennis player arrived in Paris last week ranked 114th in the world, with no sponsors, no guaranteed income, and no certainty she could even pay for her hotel room.
She had to win three qualifying matches just to enter the French Open main draw. Prize money is only paid at the end of the tournament, so a Polish sports drink brand quietly stepped in and covered her hotel bill.
Her name is Maja Chwalinska. And today, she plays in the French Open final.
Before this tournament, she had won exactly one Grand Slam main draw match in her entire career. She had battled depression so severe that in 2021 she couldn't get out of bed. She underwent knee surgery in 2022. She spent years grinding through small tournaments across Europe just to stay afloat.
Then she arrived in Paris, won three qualifiers, and kept winning. Zheng Qinwen. Elise Mertens. Maria Sakkari. Diana Shnaider. Nine straight matches. One set dropped.
She is now the first qualifier in French Open history to reach the final. The last time a qualifier reached a Grand Slam final, it was Emma Raducanu at the 2021 US Open. Raducanu won.
By simply making the final, Chwalinska has earned more prize money than her entire career combined. The runner-up cheque alone is $1.6 million. If she wins today, she takes home $3.25 million.
One week ago she couldn't pay for her hotel room.

After that, data centers will pay higher electricity rates than residents.
