In school, they teach you a lesson and give you a test.

The real world gives you a test then teaches you a lesson.

Thanks, Anthropic, for helping protect Zcash users. At Shielded Labs’s request, they ran a security audit of Zcash with Mythos. It did not find any more serious bugs in the Zcash protocol. Shielded Labs and others are continuing security hardening work. Stay tuned for updates.

After Michael Jordan scored a career-high 69 points in one game, Stacey King said:

“I'll always remember this as the night that Michael Jordan and I combined to score 70 points"

Amazing sense of humor. Stacey, you will be missed so much.

The tools now increasingly exist for recursive self improvement of models & agents

We are likely in very early lift off & exponential

Voltaire passed away today in 1778.

There are two quotes of his I always come back to:

"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."

and

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”

Tenet Industries (@industriestenet) is building low-cost, mass-producible defense systems, starting with strike drones.

Defense primes are still building Bugattis and Ferraris. Tenet is building the F-150 for defense.

“Once the platform works, biology becomes programmable.”

Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, says AI drug discovery won’t progress gradually.

It will look more like AlphaFold, years of quiet infrastructure work, then a sudden leap where the system can scale across entire disease areas.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

Ayo Dosunmu has 40 points in a playoff win and he’s getting MVP chants. He’s 26 years old and on a team-friendly contract.

The Chicago Bulls did not get a first-round pick for him.

When simulation becomes the norm, it weakens the human capacity for discernment. As a result, our social bonds close in upon themselves, forming self-referential circuits that no longer expose us to reality. We thus come to live within bubbles, impermeable to one another. Feeling threatened by anyone who is different, we grow unaccustomed to encounter and dialogue. In this way, polarization, conflict, fear and violence spread. What is at stake is not merely the risk of error, but a transformation in our very relationship with truth.
