As happy as I am today, and as privileged as I feel to have experienced a World Cup at home, in the Azteca Stadium—one of the most iconic venues in football history—I have to admit I’m disappointed with FIFA.
This was, by far, the worst atmosphere I’ve experienced across the last three World Cups.
The stands were full, but it felt like too many seats went to people who could simply afford the ticket rather than true football fans. I was fortunate enough to be able to pay for a ticket, but the average supporter couldn’t.
Football belongs to the people, and it felt like it was taken away from them.
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

We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity.
This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
🚨 LATEST: Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino says the future will require trillions of daily payments from billions of people and AI agents.
“The current financial transport layers are not going to be able to cope with that. Things like the lightning network are the right way.”
🚨 Artificial intelligence is now playing a MAJOR role at Getafe… and the results are scary. 🧠😱

The staff even use THREE live tablets on the touchline — tracking tactics, physical data and a “victory dashboard” showing how close they are to beating the opponent. 📲
Players also receive detailed AI reports DAYS before games to anticipate opponents’ moves. 🤯

The attack was
1. North Korea figured out which RPC providers LZ was using
2. They compromised two of the providers to make them return fake data
3. DDoSed other providers to shut them down, forcing LZ to use the bad ones
AFAIK I was the only one who actually called it
Only crypto uncs remember when Long Island Iced Tea pivoted from drinks to 'blockchain' in December 2017.

History doesn't repeat, but it often rhymes
🔥🚨BREAKING: Nectome The Portland Oregon tech company that Sam Altman is on the waitlist for since 2016 to kill him so they can upload his Brian to the internet which would allow him to live forever just confirmed that they have successful reanimated a dead pig’s brain meaning they are about to be ready to take human brains like Sam Altman’s and upload their consciousness online.
An entire mammalian brain has been successfully preserved using a technique that will now be offered to people who are terminally ill.
The intention is to preserve all the neural information thought necessary to one day reconstruct the mindof the person it once belonged to.
Borys Wróbel at Nectome: “They would need to donate their brain and body for scientific research,” in Portland, Oregon, a research company focused on memory preservation.
“But what we are offering, as a company, is for their body and brain to be kept, essentially indefinitely, in the hope that sometime, in the future, it would be possible to read out the information from the brain and reconstruct the person… to allow them to continue, in effect, with their life.”
This is wild.
143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.
Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.
Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.
Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.
The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

Perplexity just took its shot at killing OpenClaw, and I'm completely blown away.
Their new Computer tool is the most powerful agentic system on the market right now.
Think OpenClaw, but on steroids (easier setup, better security + more)
