🇺🇸 WTF is this thing flying near a U.S. military base in Alaska?
A woman in Anchorage was taking pictures of a rainbow when she spotted something bizarre in the sky.
It looked like a giant jellyfish, with dark tentacle-like parts dangling underneath.
The thing hovered for about 3 minutes before suddenly disappearing.
Even stranger, it was spotted in the direction of a U.S. military base that houses F-22 fighter jets.
She and her husband went looking for a kite or anything that could explain it, but found nothing.
Whatever that thing was, it sure didn't look like anything we've built on this planet.

put AI in every single school
make AI training mandatory for every teacher, with weekly classes to keep up with the progress
we could start an education revolution in a month
Our strongest frontier model, Gemini 4 Carbon, is now available.
Built for deeply complex, long-horizon workflows that push a frontier model’s intelligence, Carbon delivers frontier performance in agentic workflows across complex knowledge work, software engineering and web development, cybersecurity, and scientific reasoning.
While Gemini 4 Argon remains the ideal model for the majority of software engineering and knowledge work, Carbon steps in for your hardest tasks that push a model to its limits — from complex, multi-step debugging to open-ended scientific research.
Available starting today:
— Consumers: use it in the @GeminiApp and AI Mode in Search for Google AI Ultra subscribers
— Developers and Enterprises: build via the API in @GoogleAIStudio and @AndroidStudio, Google @Antigravity for Google AI Ultra subscribers, and Gemini for business
— Scientists and Researchers: apply for a chance to get 6 months free via @Antigravity
— Cybersecurity Defenders: apply to join the Fairwind Program for access to Carbon for cyber
Watch how Carbon brings reasoning and coding together, turning avian research into an interactive 3D simulation of a songbird’s vocal organ that synthesizes the sounds of six bird species live.

The FCC has just announced that it has accepted @SpaceX's application to buy 800 MHz spectrum wireless spectrum from Grain Management, a major step for Starlink Mobile becoming a major carrier in the U.S.
Info:
• 546 paired spectrum licenses covering approximately 100% of the U.S. population.
• Up to 14 MHz of spectrum across all 50 states, Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
• SpaceX plans to use the spectrum to support satellite-to-phone connectivity.
• Public comments are due December 1, with oppositions due December 8.
The transaction still requires final FCC approval.

Dario Amodei says cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and mental illness will be relics of the past in less than a decade, and that "we can create an age of miracles"
“You know, if today we look at things like cancer, Alzheimer’s, heart disease, mental illness, these will be relics of the past in, I think, less than a decade."
"And I believe that the company which gets the risks right will also be the company that has the license to operate that society trusts and society believes can build the benefits in the right way."
"I think if we do this right, we can create an age of miracles where humanity is able to solve problems that have eluded us for millennia."
"We have to make sure that all the risks, all the ways that things can go wrong with this technology, we very carefully address those risks as we bring the benefits, and as we have a viable business at the same time.”
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei reveals he holds “Dario Vision Quest” talks every two weeks where nothing he says is an actual decision and he is totally honest with the company
“An example I will give is every two weeks, I get up in front of the company and I speak for an hour about what is happening inside the company, what is happening in the AI field, what is happening in the world, how the company thinks strategically."
"The two ironclad rules of these events. I call them DVQs, Dario Vision Quest. That was not my name. I initially resisted the name because it makes it sound like I’m going off and smoking peyote, but everyone kept calling them that. The name stuck, and so now I’m stuck with it."
"The two rules of DVQs are that, one, nothing I say is an actual decision. That allows me to just speak freely, you know, without worrying that if I, you know, if I briefly mentioned doing X, that 20 people will go off and do X, it’s like the CEO said it, we’re going to do X. And then the second is that I’m just, I’m totally honest with the company. It’s a conversation of trust. It’s a relationship of trust.”

JUST IN: Memphis Mayor reveals SpaceX data center taxes more than doubled to $54 million, after $25 million last year made it Shelby County’s second largest taxpayer
Paul Young was asked about Elon Musk’s claim that data centers have Memphis booming:
Q: “Recently, just speaking on the revenues the data centers are creating for Memphis. Elon Musk recently tweeted that Memphis is 'booming' because of the data centers. He said that hotels and restaurants are full and called, tax revenue in Memphis tremendous right now. Do you just have any thoughts on that?”
YOUNG: “Well, we’ve talked a lot about the financial aspects of the project. I think that as we talk about data centers in our city, we want to talk about it in a balanced way. Of course there’s an economic side. We want to make sure that we are articulating what protections and guardrails we’re putting in place for the environmental sides that, people are concerned about, the quality of life, noise, traffic, all of those aspects."
"But, there there is tax revenue. I think this year it was $54,000,000 in taxes that have been generated. And I know last year when they generated about $25,000,000 in tax revenue, it was the second largest tax paying property in Shelby County. I don’t know where $54,000,000 puts it, but it is significant taxes."
"And so as we look at, the tax revenue, we also wanna look at how do we ensure that there are proper protections. That’s what this ninety day executive order has been about, and, it’s the conversation that we’ll continue to have with the community.”
SpaceX’s Arizona data center, per a county supervisor: “We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20%”
Frank Antenori, whose district includes the site, brought up the county’s tax math during a live Q&A:
“Here’s just something to just chew on. Arizona has an expenditure limit requirement that is placed on counties. If we exceed that expenditure, we have to rebate back to the taxpayers a certain amount.”
“So, if we’re receiving revenue in from SpaceX, by law, we have to offset that to the taxpayers. We have the potential to reduce, based on the projected revenue they’re creating, as much as 20%.”
“Let me just say it again. We could be reducing property taxes across the board in Cochise County, the entire county, by 20% to offset for the revenue here, because we can’t spend all that money. So, we have to give that money back to the taxpayers. The law says we have to.”
“So, you could see a potential significant impact to local property taxes. What that is, I don’t know. We’re going to have to do the math on it. But the law, if we have this large increase in property tax revenue, we have to balance those rates. So that will reduce dramatically the property tax burden of every resident in the county.”
“The construction sales tax, which also is the TPT, the transaction privilege tax, the retail tax, and the jail excise tax. So that will be part of the construction tax. We could literally use that money to pay the jail off in 2 to 3 years, as opposed to the 13 to 20 years.”
“So this could be a revenue to eliminate the half-cent sales tax in 2 to 3 years. We can get rid of that half-cent sales tax.”

guys we have magic ai in the sky please don't use local models
they're cool and all but they're basically useless

Fable 5.2 is the best model ever created.
The things I created with it are mind-blowing.
It’s also basically a school hall monitor.

As I predicted, Claude is off the leash. Fable 5.2 has solved two open problems in theoretical physics, one of them completely autonomously.
