Congrats to GM Yağız Kaan Erdoğmuş. Youngest ever to hit 2700 and the first Turk to do it 👏

In France, we believe in science.

That is why, on May 5, I issued a clear and open call to the world: for science, choose France.

I am very proud to see that this call has resonated so strongly.

Around forty leading researchers have chosen France.

Through “France 2030”, we have invested more than €30 million to advance health, climate action, artificial intelligence, and fundamental sciences.

Science has found its home.

@nylanderjens @Lovable @emilhellerud Funny to see the EU mindset go straight into compliance-hunt mode. I think this became a business model itself.

@KirkMarple @graphlit Looks interesting, I will check it out.

This is big. Google’s cooking the perfect hosted RAG + free embeddings = one less wall between idea → product.

[Logan Kilpatrick @OfficialLoganK]

Introducing the File Search Tool in the Gemini API, our hosted RAG solution with free storage and free query time embeddings 💾

We are super excited about this new approach and think it will dramatically simplify the path to context aware AI systems, more details in 🧵

@ilkersozdinler O kadar berber gezdim hala ilk geldiğimde denk geldiğim Türk berber kadar iyisini bulamadım. Arabayla bir dünya yol yapıp hala ona giderim. Ayrıca Türk berberden memnun olmayan İngilize de denk gelmedim. Her şey yerine oturuyor 😂

Let's rethink embracing the internal combustion engine so quickly. It's automating high labor, dirty, and hazardous jobs at an alarming rate. We need to pause and consider the broader implications. It's time to reassess this technological rush.

Skeptics just one year ago: don’t worry, AGI is 100 years away

Skeptics now: don’t worry, AGI is at least 3-5 years away

Have you stopped to think about what this means?

The world as we know it really may end in the next few years.

Americans are now 5 to 1 (!) in favor of banning the development of superintelligent AIs - with bipartisan support.

The average AI engineer thinks there is a ~40% chance AI destroys the world.

A few tech companies are playing Russian Roulette with the planet, racing to create an AI species that thinks a million times faster than us and will outnumber us 10000 to 1.

And, yet, we have more regulations on selling a sandwich.

No one AGI lab can unilaterally slow down, only governments can stop the race.

I don’t know how else to say this, but governments, what the hell are you waiting for?

Today we celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the modern Türkiye, my beloved country.

This remarkable nation has taught me so much over the years and will always be my homeland.

JS tech stack be like

[Anthony Simon @anthonynsimon]

SQLite will be fully backwards compatible until 2050 👀

Talk about a stable foundation:

“Our aim is to produce timeless code that will be readable, understandable, and maintainable by programmers who have not yet been born.”

Truly refreshing while some ecosystems change flavors by the week.

[Efecan Erdur @efecan]

This is undeniably true. And unfortunately you have to live it to see it.

[Dalton Caldwell @daltonc]

You learn a lot more about a persons true character when they are under pressure than when they believe everything is going their way.
