In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

@Raynerdtech go to finder, select a bunch of images or pdfs, right click --> merge files to one pdf. Works out of the box on OSX and I hate the fact that I am impressed. This should just work on any OS in this day and age!

Netflix replaced their 15 years old recommendation algorithm with an LLM.

It’s called "GenRec" and it completely changes how recommendation algorithms are built.

For over a decade, the Netflix recommendation engine was a masterclass in feature engineering. Data scientists built thousands of complex, handcrafted features to figure out what you wanted to watch next.

It required bespoke architectures. Massive infrastructure. Constant manual tuning.

Netflix threw all of it away.

They built GenRec, an LLM-backed ranker.

Instead of translating your behavior into complex math, they just turn your watch history and metadata into a natural language sentence.

They feed that raw text into a foundation LLM.

The AI simply reads your behavior like a story, understands your evolving tastes, and scores the entire catalog in a single forward pass.

No manual feature engineering. No complex bespoke architectures.

Here is the part that should terrify traditional data scientists.

This text-based LLM didn't just match the highly tuned production system Netflix spent years perfecting.

It beat it.

And it achieved those statistically significant gains using roughly 40x fewer labeled training examples.

We are watching a massive paradigm shift in real time.

The most complex predictive algorithms in the world are being replaced by models that just know how to read.

If Netflix can replace their core product engine with an LLM, what complex system in your business is about to become obsolete?

Wenn ein Politiker wie Amthor, der bisher lediglich durch Lobbyaffären und peinliche Döner-Videos im Wahlkampf aufgefallen ist, ein Büro hat, das größer ist als viele der Wohnungen jener Bürger, die sein exorbitantes Gehalt finanzieren, mit einer Dachterrasse, auf der er sogar einen Strandkorb aufstellen lässt, um die nette Aussicht genießen zu können, dann drückt das perfekt das große Problem unserer Zeit aus:

die Politiker-Kaste hat sich derart von der Realität entkoppelt, dass sie die Probleme der normalen Bevölkerung überhaupt nicht mehr nachvollziehen kann. Sie bereichert sich durch immer höhere Steuern an den Bürgern, die aufgrund der katastrophalen Politik kaum mehr über die Runden kommen, während Amthor mit Fahrdienst und Chauffeur vermutlich keine Ahnung von den aktuellen Spritpreisen hat. Mit einem Bruttogehalt von rund 24.000 Euro könnten ihm diese sowieso egal sein.

Wir müssen den gesamten Politikbetrieb komplett auf den Kopf stellen. Diese Selbstbereicherung muss endlich ein Ende finden.

[Henry Chinaski @Chinaski0815]

Ein Video aus einer Parallelwelt. Während ein großer Teil der Bürger jeden Cent zweimal umdrehen, reihert uns der spätpubertäre Politikerdarsteller Amthor seine "ich hab's geschafft"-Attitüde vor die Füße und freut sich offenkundig selbstberauscht über einen - durch den geschundenen Steuerplebs bezahlten - Strandkorb.
Auch wenn ich aktuell nicht so richtig weiß, wen ich zukünftig wähle aber die @cdu hat offenbar flächendeckend den Verstand verloren und ich werde alles dafür tun, dass sie bald möglichst noch mehr Zeit haben, im Strandkorb rumzulümmeln. https://t.co/TZOvHpeowk

Welche Maßnahmen Willy Brandt ergriff um steigende Spritpreise 1973 zu bekämpfen:

- 4 autofreie Sonntage
- Tempolimit von 100 km/h auf Autobahnen
- Tempolimit von 80 km/h auf Landstraßen
- Kampagne für Fahrgemeinschaften

- Welche Maßnahmen Friedrich Merz ergreift um steigende Spritpreise 2026 zu bekämpfen:

- Tankrabatt
- Neuer Tankrabatt
- Spritpreisdeckel

Seit wann ist unsere Politik eigentlich so ängstlich geworden, den Menschen auch nur irgendwas zuzumuten?

[Ingwar Perowanowitsch @Perowinger94]

Das darf doch alles nicht wahr sein. Der Tankrabatt 3.0 kommt! Zum 1. Oktober schmeißt die Regierung zum dritten Mal in Folge Mrd. Euro an Steuergelder aus dem Fenster, um den Spritpreis um paar Cent pro Liter billiger zu machen. Haben Merz & Co. nichts aus ihren Fehlern gelernt? Dass ein wesentlicher Teil in die Taschen der Ölkonzerne geht und dass Bleifüße und SUV-Fahrer am meisten profitieren? Doch was mich am meisten aufregt ist, dass alle die kein Auto haben, mal wieder leer aus gehen. Schlimmer noch: Das Deutschlandticket wird ab 2027 natürlich wieder teurer, weil dem Bund dieses Ticket leider nicht mehr als 1,5 Mrd. pro Wert ist, was vermutlich genau der Summe des neuen Tankrabatts entspricht. Es ist mal wieder ein absolutes Armutszeugnis, eine Mrd. schwere homöopathische Beruhigungpille für Verbrenner-Fahrer, sonst nichts. Wie kann man 3x hintereinander den immer gleichen Murcks beschließen?

People keep saying Trump term II is the most corrupt administration ever, so I built a model to find out if it was true.

I took the UN's definition of corruption, turned it into eight criteria and 100 points, and scored the leaders history remembers for looting their countries: Marcos, Suharto, Mobutu, Abacha, Obiang, Putin.

Then I put every president since Eisenhower on the same scale, both parties, with every exoneration counted right alongside the convictions.

Nixon scored 41 and no other American President scored over a 25.

Trump's second term scored a 91, which ties him with Suharto and Mobutu and puts him above Marcos and Abacha.

So he is not only the most corrupt president in American history. At this pace he finishes his term level with the most corrupt rulers of the last hundred years.

PSA: don't come in my comments arguing about the results if you haven't read the full article, because ignorance is a choice.

Full article is up now on my Substack (link in bio) and it's free.

openai asked researchers to come use their models and do research with them.

now, a few months later:

math researchers getting fucking scooped by the lab they trusted with their work.

what a fucking precedent.

go fuck yourself @sama

claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman

technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness

to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease

this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!!

real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle
