BREAKING: US Senator Chris Murphy hospitalized following a stroke, per his office.
This comes just days after being briefed on highly classified military planning on Iran to restart the war after the midterms, where he called Trump's plan "insane."
"I will just say this: their plan is insane. It will lead to devastating escalation and the likely destruction of our commitment to the rule of law," he said four days ago.

> Gemini 4 Carbon, our next model
because of course carbon is the next model. Now, when they released Argon, I was like "ah, they'll name them after noble gases" and that seemed reasonable. Helium, Neon, Argon, KRYPTON, Xenon, Radon. All beautiful names, and very intuitive, heavier/scarier is more powerful, Helium is a super cheap classifer.
But apparently they didn't want to do that, because google cannot name or brand a product if their lives depended on it. So maybe they're going across the period then, right? Chlorine, Sulfur, Phosphorus... idk, not great, but they'd be in theme at least.
NOPE! The new model is named Carbon. What does Carbon have to do with Argon? Fucking nothing, that's what. Because fuck you. None of it matters. It'll be in your google drive plan and you're gonna use it because you don't care, and so google can name it by just throwing a dart at a table because nobody on their marketing team shows up to work. COOL!
I did say we'd be releasing our models periodically...introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, our next frontier model.
Following Argon's release just two weeks ago, Carbon shows the pace at which we’re pushing the frontier, it ranks #1 on the recently updated v5.0 of @ArtificialAnlys Intelligence Index at 59. It also leads across key cybersecurity evaluations scoring 88.2% on SEC-bench Pro for finding vulnerabilities, 54.8% on ExploitGym for exploitation, and 71.0% on CWE-bench for patching.
We’re seeing significant improvements in long-horizon tasks even compared to Argon, and we’ve strengthened frontier safeguards.
As we did with Argon, we’re going to roll it out gradually + responsibly. Some trusted cyber defenders will get access starting this week. We'll be expanding it to more partners through our Fairwind Program, ahead of wider availability soon, so hang tight!

I always thought this friend should've been part of the collection, so here it is.
this is the start of the digital side of IF. a place to experiment and try things I can't do anywhere else.
The Walk will be a way to get access to some of what the brand puts out, digital and physical. not everything. most of IF is being built for everyone, but if you want in early on certain drops this is how.
a lot of you have asked about the leftover physicals. this is part of that.
I wanted to do it free for everyone but it would've just been botted. $5 keeps it for people who actually want one, want to support and lets me give stuff away easier for burning them.
there's a lot more coming from the Invisible Friends brand.
The most recognized Invisible Friend was never actually minted. Until now.
The Walk. October 28.
Free for every Invisible Friend holder.
24 hour open edition on @OpenSea for everyone else, $5.
Built with @manifoldxyz

"Oh this? This is just an entity from the nether realm I summoned by enscribing runes on magic stones I forged in a sacred kiln, then proceeded to cast certain spells to distill the collective conscious to imbue it into the substrate. Don't worry, it doesn't have a soul."
