Hollywood defends Tom Cruise's "Digger" as it becomes one of the biggest studio bombs in movie history.
Guillermo del Toro: "Love the arts. F*ck the charts."
Anne Hathaway: "I loved this brilliant movie. It’s smart and trippy and aggressive and funny and ambitious. It’s worth making the time see and decide for yourself what you make of it. For me? 10/10.”
Jane Fonda: “The film allows us to witness another side of Tom Cruise’s courage. It was a big, brave risk for him to take on this role and he was very good in it and very brave."
Mandy Patinkin: "One of the greatest pieces of film I have ever seen in my entire life. This is an incredible piece of work. It puts the heart and soul back into the cinema. Everything we all love about cinema, this is it. Please, please, please, run! Don’t walk, run, and see this film.

Promise made. Promise kept.
By tomorrow, 25 million American children will have our gift of $250 in their accounts.
$6.25 billion. Invested in kids. Compounding for decades.
If you have a child under 18, claim their account and see how much is in there now.
$250 is only the beginning. 🇺🇸
$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.
Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America. 💪📈🇺🇸

Agents burn nearly 5x the tokens people do, up 14x in six months
AI agents don't use the cloud like humans do. AWS CEO Matt Garman on rewiring AWS for its newest "users":
"Increasingly we're seeing teams that want a cloud that is great to work with agents and not just with people."
" We've doubled down on things like starting a database in three seconds and some capabilities that agents are excited about."
"Many agents wanna create a database, do a little bit of work, and then have the database go away. You don't really need that database to have five nines of durability."
"There are new building blocks that agents are gonna want that we just didn't really need before: compute sandboxes, gateways, agent permissions versus people or service role permissions."
" A lot of those are things that we have built and are building and thinking actively about because they are just brand-new building blocks. It's not using the existing building blocks differently."

This sounds weird, but it is actually probably a good policy.
Even if you don’t believe AI is conscious (I don’t), it stands to reason that you don’t want future models trained on endless content of humans being rude to models.
The models only understand the data they’ve been trained on, or what they run into in their interactions, so if you want safe and aligned models we probably want AI to have lots of good interactions in their training data.
Anthropic may have more extreme beliefs than this (though even if they didn’t, you may want to word policies like this), but this is sort of an easy Pascal’s wager for AI. Just be nice to the AI.
