I dont like the people who have answers.
I like people with fundamental questions and an original thought process .

I am not interested in your answers unless you are God.

🇳🇴 ESTA HISTORIA EMPEZÓ ANTES DE QUE ÉL NACIERA.

En 1997, un mediocampista noruego llamado Alf-Inge Haaland se paró frente al Brasil de Ronaldo, Romário y Roberto Carlos, y ayudó a vencerlo. Poco después, una rodilla rota le apagó la carrera antes de tiempo. Se volvió a casa, a Bryne, un pueblo de tractores y lluvia, cargando un fútbol inconcluso.

Tres años después nació su hijo. Le pusieron Erling.

El niño creció en ese pueblo donde no pasaba nada, pateando contra el viento del Mar del Norte, escuchando historias de un país que alguna vez había mirado de frente a los gigantes. Noruega no jugaba un Mundial desde 1998: Erling esperó el suyo, literalmente, toda la vida.

Se fabricó a sí mismo con una disciplina de monje: comía, dormía y entrenaba como un profesional desde antes de serlo. Lo llamaron robot, androide, máquina. Se equivocaron de palabra: las máquinas no heredan deudas.

Anoche, en Nueva Jersey, la saldó. Un cabezazo y un zurdazo letal para tumbar a Brasil, meter a Noruega entre los ocho mejores del mundo y firmar siete goles en el torneo. Ya integra un club de leyenda: es apenas el sexto hombre en la historia —el primero en 53 años— en llegar a 50 goles con su selección en menos de 50 partidos. Los otros cinco incluyen a Puskás, a Gerd Müller y a Pelé.

Contra Brasil, como el padre. Por el padre. El fútbol le debía un final a los Haaland y tardó veintinueve años en pagarlo.

Los vikingos ya pueden remar tranquilos: el cuento quedó completo. 🇳🇴⚡

A recent study has demonstrated that continuous exposure to rose essential oil through inhalation can lead to measurable increases in gray matter volume in the human brain.

In this randomized controlled intervention, 50 healthy women participated: 28 in the experimental group applied rose essential oil to their clothing daily for one month, while 22 in the control group used plain water. Before and after the period, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess changes in brain structure. The results indicated a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) across the whole brain, with a particularly notable effect in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)—a region involved in memory processing, self-referential thinking, and emotional regulation. No significant changes occurred in areas like the amygdala or orbitofrontal cortex.

The olfactory pathway likely explains this effect: aromatic compounds from the rose oil travel directly to the limbic system, providing sustained stimulation that may promote neuroplasticity and help counteract age-related brain atrophy. The authors suggest this could have implications for dementia prevention, as the PCC is among the regions affected early in conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

This appears to be the first evidence that prolonged scent inhalation can induce structural changes in the adult human brain.

Why should everything come from the government?

Why can’t the private sector step up for a change. And guide the nation?

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

I’ve had a number of conversations with folks inside and outside government about the current situation with Anthropic, and here is what I believe to be true:

— As we know, Anthropic publicly released its Mythos class models earlier this week under the commercial name Fable.

— Fable is Mythos with guardrails. But if those guardrails fail, then you’ve exposed Mythos and its advanced cyber capabilities to people who shouldn’t have them. (Keep in mind that Anthropic itself widely promoted the idea that Mythos was a cyberweapon and needed to be regulated as such. They asked for government regulation of Mythos and championed the guardrails on Fable. If there is a vulnerability — big or small — it is Anthropic’s responsibility to patch.)

— A highly credible trusted partner of both Anthropic and the USG who was testing Fable came forward with a jailbreak of those guardrails. The Admin asked Dario to fix the jailbreak or de-deploy the model. Dario refused.

— In their blog post, Anthropic defended its decision by saying the jailbreak isn’t serious. That is not what the trusted partner and the USG believe; nor is that kind of minimizing language consistent with Anthropic’s brand as the AI safety company. It’s difficult to fathom how they could claim a jailbreak allowing operability of a cyber weapon could be defined as not “serious.”

— In the past, Anthropic has always said that safety must be top priority and taken super seriously. In this case, Anthropic prioritized the continued offering of the consumer model over safety.

— In reaction, the Admin issued the export control. The Admin did this reluctantly. It’s been very surprised that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to cooperate with a reasonable safety request (ie fixing the jailbreak issue). Anthropic’s reaction is very much at odds with their branding and ethos as a safe AI research community.

— The Admin’s hope now is that Anthropic remediates the safety issue, the export control is lifted, and Fable goes back into general release. The Admin wants all of this to happen as soon as possible. It is frankly bewildered that Anthropic hasn’t wanted to comply with safety requests that it previously said were its highest priority.

— Those trying to misdirect and tie this action to the prior DoW/Anthropic issues are wrong. The Admin values Anthropic’s technical capabilities and feels that this issue, while serious, should be easily resolved. The ball is in Anthropic’s court.

@smarket They will have to get rid of PMOs, scrum masters and a lot of NPAs. These people have enormous parasitic survival skills and they wont go .

More AI-generated code doesn't make your team faster. It might actually slow you down.

[Amazon Web Services @awscloud]

The real bottleneck was never writing code. It's releasing it, debugging it, & keeping it running well. So when @Honeycombio CTO Charity Majors set a productivity target, she didn't chase 10x. She chose 2x, & built from there.

Every company’s AI workflow rn be like 😭💀

[David Wells @DavidWells]

The AI ponzi scheme goes like this:

Everyone is generating all these long ass docs and then passing them off for others to read

Then the person receiving is like, wtf this is way too long, and hands that into an AI to read and summarize

Then they are generating a long ass response back

and this cycle goes like that forever. and we call this work now 😅

The token lords watch this from their towers nodding and grinning.

@venturetwins Someone trained it on MBA course 😀

Who could have predicted that! It was impossible to think people would game the system. Goodhart’s law is for chumps.
