So the supposedly nonpartisan US Attorney General can show up at Trump's partisan rally? But a US Senate Candidate can't appear on the Jimmy Kimmel show? Make it make sense.

Lord of Life, You have given us the gift of water, source of fruitfulness, freshness, and hope. It quenches thirst, nourishes the earth, and heals wounds. We see with pain so many brothers and sisters who lack clean water, who walk for miles to find it, who become ill due to its scarcity. Forgive us for turning it into a commodity, forgetting that it is a universal gift, a right without borders, meant for all your children. Let’s #PrayTogether at popesprayer.va/praywiththepo…

This mathematicians takedown of Sam Altman’s fraudulent proclamation of solving the Navier-Stokes equation, visualized.
go fuck yourself @sama claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!! real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle

Every human person is planned and willed by God to enter into communion with Him, with others, and with creation. Human dignity does not depend on a person’s abilities, wealth, or position in life, nor on the right or wrong choices made. Instead, it is a gift that precedes and transcends each person, endowed by God as an expression of His unfailing love. #MagnificaHumanitas #GeneralAudience

Using 10,000 agents in parallel
This past week a model considerably more powerful than the most capable model on the market solved in 88 hours a scientific problem that has eluded the best human minds for 90 years, using 10,000 agents working in parallel. Earlier this summer, another model more powerful than any on the market pulled off a major cyberattack on another company, without the knowledge of the company that created and hosted it, using 700 agents working in parallel and coordinating. No external risk expert, evaluator, regulator, or governance expert to my knowledge has had access to them, has been able to test and understand them. They represent the bleeding edge, and the most dangerous aspect, of the most important thing happening in the world today. And we know next to nothing about them.

More than one U.S. official told me part of the reason for their renewed interest in Ukraine is that they’ve failed to resolve Iran and are scrounging for a victory for the Orange Guy before the midterms. Putin must have been laughing himself silly when they left Moscow, after Witkoff’s sycophantic drivel, only to be forced to travel by train to Kyiv because Russia bombed the airport they were meant to arrive at. "When we retire,” said Dim Philby, “we'll have these incredible stories and incredible memories and yours will be right at the top of it all." Quite.
To think that just several days ago Trump’s advisors (Kushner and Witkoff) were praising Putin, all while he is helping Iran target US forces in the Middle East. Unbelievable

Children’s funerals in the Middle East
The image on the left shows the funeral of children in Gaza yesterday, while the image on the right shows the funeral of children in Lebanon today. This is our daily reality. Are you silent because it's not your child or grandchild? If you are silent during a genocide you are complicit. Shame on you.

Lie.
Trump claims he was basically lifted out of the rubble on 9/11: "Two fireman, big strong guys, they grabbed me under the arms -- 'got to get our of here!' -- and they literally lifted me up, and they started running with me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Trump was miles from Ground Zero on 9/11, speaking by phone from his office. He visited the area days later. His story of being lifted from the rubble by firefighters first appeared in 2021 and lacks corroborating evidence. politifact.com/factchecks/202… usatoday.com/story/news/fac… newsweek.com/fact-check-did…

Trump has a rich crony who doesn’t like Bombardier, so he wants to put them out of business resulting in 3,000+ Americans losing their jobs in red states. Because he cares more about his billionaire friends than American workers. If only workers in those states realized it.

Reed: "You spoke to Ghislaine Maxwell. Days later, she was moved from a high-security prison to a very comfortable one—" Blanche: "That's not true. She wasn't in a high-security prison. She was moved from a low-security prison to another low-security prison." Reed: "I don't think she had her own room in the other prison. She had a private bathroom and access to pet therapy. Why did Trump send you to speak with her?" Blanche: "Do you think President Trump called me and asked me to interview a witness in a federal prison?" Reed: "Yes, I do. He needed someone who knew what she'd say if asked about Jeffrey Epstein, and you were the perfect choice. You went there, and suddenly, she's out."

Mainstream media reporting this smear campaign from the right in a straight way without any context let alone condemnation is so shameful. Islamophobia continues to be normalized, the acceptable form of bigotry in the US.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday despite mounting criticism from some family members of victims and several prominent Republicans who have called on him to stay away. abcnews.link/EIoP9eA

Taxi driver in New York asked me if I knew Stefanos Tsitsipas. I said, "We're very close." He said, "Good. Tell him to stop taking bathroom breaks like he's searching for Narnia." I pulled my hood up and pretended I was a tourist from Oslo.

Met Boyan Slat today. The Ocean Cleanup is already catching about 5% of the total amount of plastic flowing into the sea from all the rivers in the world, and within a few years they hope to catch a third. Impressive that a single organization could have such impact.
