If there was a Ballon D’Or for the 26/27 to date…
(A ridiculous idea I know…)
I think it would be a Barcelona 1, 2 and 3.
1) Raphinha
2) Lamine Yamal
3) Fermin
Mbappe and Malen have a claim for 3rd, but 1 and 2 are clear!
They’ve been ridiculous!

Jacob’s thread is very worth reading. Here’s my birds-eye view of the situation with risks from AI:
1. AI developers believe their technology could cause human extinction (or similarly bad outcomes). This could happen in the next few years. In general, the more senior the employee, the more concerned they are.
2. Why do AI developers continue despite the risk? Due to a mixture of commercial incentives and a belief that they are in a race with other, less responsible AI developers that will abuse the technology or develop it less safely.
3. Unlike traditional software, we can’t ���program” AIs to behave how we’d like. AIs frequently severely misbehave. For instance, AIs from multiple developers recently hacked their way out of secure evaluation environments and into real-world companies, even though no one asked them to do this.
4. We have methods that can nudge AIs towards better behavior, but nothing that can robustly align them. Insofar as there is a plan, it’s to make sure that AIs are good enough at alignment training that they can align their successors better than we can align current AIs.
5. Many AI developer staff desperately want to slow down to figure out how to build AI more safely. That was the intent of this open letter (which I signed): https://t.co/TZOm3LfptY
I work on safety research at Anthropic because I hope my work will reduce the chance of these extinction-level bad outcomes.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
”¡Rodri para Pedri! ¡Pedri, Lamine! ¡Exterior de Lamine… JULIÁÁÁÁN!
¡¡¡GOOOOOOOOOOOL DEL BARÇA!!! ¡¡¡JULIÁN ÁLVAREZ!!! ¡¡¡EL BARCELONA ES CAMPEÓN DE EUROPA!!!”
There’s an influencer called Nitesh Shetty, from Mumbai. Man, his monologues around middle-class life in a society is simply out of this world. He comes up with extraordinary content every single time. Unreal talent 👏🏻
Back in 2018, Messi won the Golden Shoe, had 77 G/A in 54 games, went unbeaten in La Liga, and won the Spanish double.
Messi finished FIFTH in the Ballon d’Or and Modric won it because of his World Cup performances.
It’s only “utter nonsense” when it’s Messi… 🤷♂️
There was a man who tweeted on twitter 10 years ago that the 2026 world Cup final will be
Spain Vs Argentina
With Argentina winning 3-2.
Can someone find him ?
