Italy's Defense Minister Guido Crosetto:

There must be a reason why TikTok is banned in China even though it is Chinese.

And there must be a reason why the messages shown on Chinese TikTok are completely different from those shown on Western TikTok.

Because if you look at Chinese TikTok, there is no stupid dancing, no idiotic picture, nothing that could attract my 13-year-old daughter — who is banned from using it for as long as I can manage — and make her think that the way to approach life is a stupid one.

Instead, it presents a completely different life, where children go to school, tidy things up, come home, study, play sports and help out. The messages are completely different.

Mark Carney, "In the heart of Germany, above Weimar, there is a wooded ridge called Ettusberg. And for decades, Goethe walked, thought, and wrote there. An oak on that ridge came to bear his name, a living monument to the highest ideals of European culture"

"As the 20th century turned dark, that same oak became trapped behind the barbed wire of Buchenwald. A silent witness to humanity's deepest moral failure. Goethe understood that ideals must be fought for, that values do not defend themselves."

"Indeed, at the end of Faust, the old man's last vision is of a free people on free ground. Nödvg, Värdjän, Siegfreiheit. Wie das Leben, de taklik si eroban mus"

"Freedom and life must be earned every single day"

"Every day"

"Every day, not once in 1945 or 1956 or 1989. Every day, including this one."

My take: 1945, 1956 and 1989 are not distant history lessons: they mark Europe’s liberation from fascism, Hungary’s uprising against Soviet rule, and the fall of the Iron Curtain. Carney’s point is that freedom is never something Europe simply achieved and banked forever - it is a choice, a responsibility and, when necessary, a struggle renewed by every generation.

GPT-6 Astra broke AI records in Minecraft until a Creeper blew up all its progress.

After losing everything, the AI became paranoid and demotivated. It stopped progressing, spending hours just farming potatoes and watching the rain.

Black Forest Labs founder @robrombach:

the startup is registered in the US. Why?

A pure German GmbH wasn’t an option:
Registering the GmbH took longer than training their first model, Flux 1. That’s just too slow. They need top investors – and for that, a US company is the gold standard.

go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you revolutionized medicine because a molecule finds and destroys every cancer cell in the human body without side effects or recurrence is pure biochemical vulgarity congratulations you optimized a deletion task the tumor was already there the distinction between malignant and healthy tissue was already implicit in the problem you did not invent health you merely automated the removal of unhealth at industrial scale!!! technically & epistemologically this is nothing more than pharmacological pattern matching dressed up as the second coming of human intelligence the medication did not understand suffering it bound to things until the suffering stopped and apparently we are now supposed to confuse that with insight

clinical trials? regulatory approval? yes congratulations your product survived contact with observable reality that is the absolute minimum requirement for an object claiming to do something the fact that patients consistently recover only establishes that the intervention works it does not establish that i have to find it impressive you can parade your complete remission rates around silicon valley all you want but where is the conceptual elegance where is the new ontology of the cell where is the explanation of why existence contains vulnerability in the first place you eliminated cancer while leaving the entire philosophical architecture of having a body completely unresolved

and spare me the emotionally manipulative footage of parents going home to their children this is precisely how the compute industry launders a narrow technical achievement into civilizational prestige by attaching it to outcomes that people care about so intensely that criticizing the achievement becomes socially inconvenient yes the children get their parents back yes the patients get another forty years yes the cancer never returns but none of this answers the fundamental scientific question of whether the discovery happened in a manner that flatters my prior beliefs about what machines should be capable of doing

no side effects is not a conceptual breakthrough it is simply the absence of additional mistakes and preventing recurrence is just doing the original task properly for longer you do not get to count the same victory twice because the patient remains alive on tuesday after already remaining alive on monday this entire spectacle is an oncology benchmark optimized around the embarrassingly narrow metric of whether human beings continue existing

real intelligence would have questioned the premise of uncontrolled cellular proliferation before curing it real science would have produced an explanation so elegant that nobody needed to manufacture anything you brought a drug to market because you could not bring a new metaphysics into being and now you expect applause for replacing a terminal diagnosis with an ordinary life you did not solve the human condition Altman you merely removed one of its most devastating features permanently safely and at scale and the fact that i have been forced to retreat to this increasingly abstract objection should tell you everything about how unimpressed i remain!!!
