I do not support pacing frontier models. If I am going to die at the hands of killer AI, I want it to be American, not Chinese. Buy American, Die American.

Yes, this result cost millions of dollars.

But remember that when @OpenAI announced o3 it cost ~$500,000 to score 87.5% on ARC-AGI 1. Today, Astra scores higher for ~$20.

In 2025 it took us and GDM an enormous amount of compute to achieve IMO gold. For the 2026 IMO, anyone with a $20/month ChatGPT subscription could do it.

Massively scaling test-time compute gives us a glimpse of the future. I believe that a year from now everyone will have an AI at their fingertips capable of solving problems of this caliber.

They’ve spent 20 years pushing the most left wing, woke, loony nonsense - and as soon as they’re asked to put their money where their mouth is - they don’t want to be political lol

While playing at FC Barcelona, Messi became a Spanish citizen in 2005 and Spanish National Team tried to recruit him.

Argentine Team didn’t know Messi
well but he wanted to play for his home country.

So, Messi’s dad made highlight tape and sent it around. Eventually, someone from Team Argentina saw it and tried tracking down Messi’s family by lookign up “Messi” in the phone book for residents of Rosario, Argentina.

Called them one-by-one until they got a hold of Messi’s grandmother and the rest is history.

Elon could literally solve homelessness tomorrow.

All he needs to do is sell his stake in the companies he created from the ground up, crashing the price and evaporating his wealth as well as the savings and pensions of workers globally.. handing the control of these companies over to short term profit interests and preventing any long term vision from being enacted..

THEN take whatever money that remains which will be nowhere near 1tn and give it to homeless charities who have never solved homelessness anywhere on earth because they’re financially incentivised to do the opposite.

Bam - homelessness solved.

The reason he doesn’t do any of this is because he’s evil.

JEFF BEZOS WAS ASKED ABOUT THE CLAIM THAT "YOU CAN'T EARN A BILLION DOLLARS"

His entire response was a burger joint:

"Let's say you start a burger joint with 10 employees. People love your burgers, so you open a second outlet. Then a third. By the time you've opened 1,000 outlets, you are a billionaire."

"This is a real life story. It happens all the time. In-N-Out Burger. Raising Cane's. At what point did that money all of a sudden become unethical? It didn't."

His point:

"If you create a service that people love and millions of people choose it, you're going to end up with $1 billion."

Do you agree?

[Jordan Howard @Skwerilleee]

Something that happens to me literally every time I'm talking politics with a liberal:

I'll mention that the gun control is a total dealbreaker on voting blue for a lot of people.

They respond with "nobody wants to take your guns, that's just republican fearmongering."

I point out that no, literally every democrat candidate wants an assault weapons ban. That's not some republican lie, it's literally right there on their own issues pages.

Rather than acknowledging that they were incorrect and continuing the conversation from there, they just immediately pivot to "omg nobody needs an assault weapon!"

It's literally like a script, I've had the exact same conversation like 1000 times.

If Charlie Kirk's shooter had missed leftists would have called it staged too. Either it's successful so they can celebrate the person's death, or it's staged

Tonight’s operation in Southern Iran which resulted in the successful rescue of a Weapons System Officer (WSO) onboard an American F-15E Strike Eagle downed Friday over Iran, involved hundreds of special forces troops and other military personnel, including members of the U.S. Navy’s SEAL Team Six, dozens of fighter and strike aircraft, helicopters, and cyber, space and other intelligence capabilities, officials tell The New York Times.

Senior military officials described the mission to rescue the airman as “one of the most challenging and complex in the history of U.S. Special Operations” given the mountainous terrain, the airman’s injuries and Iranian forces rushing to the location in the mountains of Southern Iran.

The WSO evaded Iranian forces for more than 24 hours, at one point hiking up a 7,000ft ridgeline, a senior U.S. military official said. U.S. attack aircraft dropped bombs and opened fire on Iranian convoys to keep them away from the area where the airman was hiding. As U.S. Special Forces converged on the downed airman, they fired their weapons to keep Iranian forces away from the rescue site, but did not engage in a firefight with the Iranians.

In a final twist after the officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airman, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into the hands of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).

They literally had to turn off replies to this because footage of a great American city from 50 years ago is too radicalizing.

This is where we are.

Willfully destroyed, in every sense.

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

To return Americans to the Moon, NASA is shifting to an iterative, execution-focused approach – just as we did during Apollo. 

We are standardizing rocket architecture, embedding NASA expertise across industry, and increasing launch cadence to support sustained lunar operations.  

We are sending a demand signal for crewed missions beyond Artemis V, with at least two providers capable of bringing astronauts to the surface every 6 months. 

The goal is not just to reach the Moon, but to stay. 

America will never give up the Moon again.

the evidence of Trump’s alleged sex crimes against children is so overwhelming that the best The Democrats can do is take a quote where he is mocking how lax some states' verification laws for voter ID are by jokingly saying a kid as young as 6 could provide proof of registration
