I'm reasonably confident when people study US History 100 years from now there will be a focus on the extreme influence we allowed industrialists to have in our politics.

Seeing this meme brought to life is so impressive.
wow. The new model from @LumaLabsAI extending images into videos is really something else. I understood intuitively that this would become possible very soon, but it's still something else to see it and think through future iterations of.
A few more examples around, e.g. the girl in front of the house on fire

Transformers/AI have begun to enable humans to partially decode animal speech. scitechdaily.com/ai-decodes-…, newsweek.com/african-elephan…. When we can no longer deny the sentience animals like elephants and whales - will we afford them more rights?

I decided a while ago that if the only thing I had to lose by toeing the line was my ego, then I really had nothing to lose. I’m always trying to get rid of my ego anyway.
Each race then becomes a chance to learn something new about racing, to surprise yourself. All upside.

Every social media site (now Reddit) starts as a collection of people you actively decided to follow and devolves into you being forced to subscribe to algorithm served garbage.

Kelvin Kiptum's marathon career only lasted 10 months. Yet he still produced three of the fastest times ever run: 2:01:53, 2:01:25, and 2:00:35.
It's a loss for running world that we did not get to see his full career -- or get to know him better.
