Real life, baby

Reading the comments of junior mathematicians confirms what many senior mathematicians have been warning about over the past month: It is becoming clear that people with the intellectual ability to understand these proofs will not be interested in spending their lives training to check LLM logs. This is the tragic side of what is happening that almost no one — except the actual mathematicians — seems to get. Either we figure out how to keep people interested in doing mathematics, or in 20 years LLMs will have no one’s work left to recombine into new proofs, and no one interested in reading those proofs. That would be the thermal death of mathematics. The argument that “LLMs will read LLM math” is so shortsighted that it makes me want to cry…

1) AI will not eradicate humanity. Humans survived an ice age, the Black Death, two world wars, and (so far) the advent of nuclear weapons. Anyone who is loudly warning of AI-caused human extinction should not be taken seriously. 2) If you worked in a company where you anticipated a 10% chance that your product would kill ten people, let alone all people, the correct response would be horror, ceasing all operations, and likely contacting the police or other criminal authorities. I am obviously no Coxon booster but at least his behavior is in line with his stated beliefs. Any current AI company employees saying "yes, me too, the thing we are building and about to IPO may kill all humans" should, again, not be taken seriously. Their actions betray their actual beliefs. 3) Antitrust law does not prevent AI companies from coordinating to make sure AI does not hurt people. It does not prevent companies working together to make sure it doesn't hack people; the DOJ and FTC made this clear a decade ago when they issued a policy statement saying that the agencies "do not believe that antitrust is – or should be – a roadblock to legitimate cybersecurity information sharing." The same principles apply here. See: justice.gov/archives/opa/pr/… 4) Antitrust law does absolutely prevent AI companies from organizing to prevent the entry of cheaper, upstart rivals because the bigger companies are burning cash and failing to achieve sufficient profitability. The panic of individual employees may be sincere if misguided, but the moves by their CEOs to achieve some kind of broad "antitrust waiver" or "exemption" should be meet with deep skepticism in light of the economics of the industry and the threat they face from open models.

We just crossed a line in medicine that humanity has been walking toward for a hundred years. For the first time, doctors can take a biopsy of your specific tumor, read its unique DNA mutations — the exact fingerprint no other cancer on earth shares — and build a custom mRNA blueprint written for one human being. Yours. It doesn't poison the cancer. It teaches your own immune system what to hunt. And this week, Phase 3 results confirmed it works. Added to the best immunotherapy we already had, this individualized cancer vaccine has been dramatically cutting the odds that high-risk melanoma comes back. In the earlier data, the combination reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 49%, and the risk of the cancer spreading to distant organs by 62%, compared to the standard treatment alone. This week's Phase 3 readout confirmed the benefit holds. That is not a modest tweak. That is a different trajectory for a human life. And melanoma is just the first door. The same approach is now in trials across lung, bladder, and kidney cancers — a whole program of them, racing forward. Understand what this actually means, because it's bigger than one drug. For all of history, we fought cancer with blunt weapons. Cut it out. Burn it with radiation. Flood the whole body with chemotherapy and hope the cancer dies before the patient suffers too much. We were swinging a hammer in the dark. This is a blueprint. A weapon designed atom by atom for one person's disease, that turns their own body into the thing that finds and destroys it. We are watching medicine shift from managing cancer to hunting it. I've spent my life as a physician, and I did not expect to see this so soon. We were told personalized cancer vaccines were a thirty-year dream. They are happening right now, in real patients, with real data, in our lifetime. I don't say this lightly, and I say it as a doctor who knows exactly how rare these moments are: this is one of the most hopeful things to happen in the history of the field. I woke up thinking of the words of the morning prayer — Modeh Ani — I thank You. Gratitude, the moment you open your eyes, for a soul returned and a day given. To be alive at the exact hour when human beings learned to teach the body to cure itself feels like standing inside that prayer. We are not at the end of cancer. But we are, unmistakably, at the beginning of the end of its reign.

𝗟𝗜𝗢𝗡𝗘𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜'𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘 𝗔𝗙𝗧𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗜𝗡𝗔𝗟 🥺💔 "The pain is immense, and it will take a long time for this wound to heal. But I'll also hold on to all the good moments. The matches we turned around by giving absolutely everything. Moments that will stay in our memories forever, and the support of an entire country that, together with the hard work and dedication of this group, helped us once again become one of the best teams in the world. Right now, it's difficult to appreciate what we achieved, but this group reached two consecutive World Cup finals. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for every message and every word of support. Once again, we came together as a country, united in sharing the immense pride of being Argentine. I also want to congratulate Spain on winning the World Cup."

In the last truly important game of Lionel Messi’s career, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for the beautiful journey. It has been an absolute privilege to witness your talent, your passion, your determination, and your love for the game throughout all these years. You gave us unforgettable memories, impossible moments that became reality, and emotions that words can never fully describe. You inspired an entire generation to fall in love with football. No matter what happens today, nothing can erase what you’ve already achieved. Your legacy was secured long ago. Thank you for every goal, every assist, every dribble, every celebration, and every magical night. It was an honor to watch the greatest footballer of all time. Thank you for everything, Leo Messi. 🐐🇦🇷

Garry Sobers, an allrounder like no other 🐐

MAGIA PURA. Detén el video a los 2 segundos. En el momento del pase hay una línea de 7 ingleses más el portero, todos con más de 1.85 de estatura, y el balón va a llegar exactamente al punto donde Lautaro (1.74) va tener la portería para él solo. Messi. nitter.gq/Mediaabayt/status/2077…
