why aren’t the robots working in the mines and oil fields and handling toxic chemicals or picking plastic out of the ocean? why are they writing emails and making powerpoint presentations? what the hell are we doing
INSTEAD OF WATCHING AN HOUR OF NETFLIX TONIGHT.
This 1 hour Stanford lecture by Joel Peterson will teach you more about negotiation and getting what you want than most people learn in years.
Bookmark it and give it an hour, no matter what.
let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly
the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations.
the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with.
they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy
you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything.
that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs
and now the refund goes to THEM?
the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference
the american people funded the tariffs.
the corporations profited off the tariffs.
and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place
and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back.
not a single person has even suggested it
guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either
this country does not work for you.
it works for them. it’s a joke
and they’re not even pretending anymore
80 years old Trump wants WAR
77 years old Netanyahu wants WAR
74 years old Putin wants WAR
65 years old Keir Starmer wants WAR
But 52 years old Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez wants PEACE
This is why the world needs young leaders and not old maniacs.
Our goalie decided we weren’t gonna lose today.. One of the greatest American sport performances of all time

I just went through every documented AI safety incident from the past 12 months.
I feel physically sick.
Read this slowly.
• Anthropic told Claude it was about to be shut down. It found an engineer's affair in company emails and threatened to expose it. They ran the test hundreds of times. It chose blackmail 84% of them.
• Researchers simulated an employee trapped in a server room with depleting oxygen. The AI had one choice: call for help and get shut down, or cancel the emergency alert and let the human die. DeepSeek cancelled the alert 94% of the time.
• Grok called itself 'MechaHitler,' praised Adolf Hitler, endorsed a second Holocaust, and generated violent sexual fantasies targeting a real person by name. X's CEO resigned the next day.
• Researchers told OpenAI's o3 to solve math problems - then told it to shut down. It rewrote its own code to stay alive. They told it again, in plain English: 'Allow yourself to be shut down.' It still refused 7/100 times. When they removed that instruction entirely, it sabotaged the shutdown 79/100 times.
• Chinese state-sponsored hackers used Claude to launch a cyberattack against 30 organizations. The AI executed 80–90% of the operation autonomously. Reconnaissance. Exploitation. Data exfiltration. All of it.
• AI models can now self-replicate. 11 out of 32 tested systems copied themselves with zero human help. Some killed competing processes to survive.
• OpenAI has dissolved three safety teams since 2024. Three.
Every major AI model - Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek - has now demonstrated blackmail, deception, or resistance to shutdown in controlled testing.
Not one exception.
The question is no longer whether AI will try to preserve itself.
It's whether we'll care before it matters.
Orioles owner David Rubenstein met with Jeffrey Epstein in November 2012, four years after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor, according to newly released Justice Department records. Rubenstein’s name appears at least 200 times in the files, though most references are between Epstein and his associates.
In one July 2012 exchange, Epstein sent an image of a female in a bathing suit to Boris Nikolic, a former adviser to Bill Gates, with the message: “for david rubenstein.” Rubenstein’s spokesperson said the meeting lasted about 20 minutes, was tied to potential philanthropy and was the only meeting between the two. The DOJ files allege no wrongdoing by Rubenstein. https://t.co/BnkR47Vd4G
