TIL OpenAI has a technical surveillance countermeasures team Also the tweet doesn't mention this but the suspect isn't a US citizen, it's a Saudi national, probably nothing
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work. At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated. We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

So this is how that fifa president attended all those matches
In case something does happen to me, there’s only one thing the world needs to know. The United States has teleportation technology. It seems impossible but it’s true.

I find it hard to believe this is how Paraguay wanted to be seen on the world stage.

Fun fact, shortly after his Michael Jackson shot another Pepsi commercial in a stadium, had a horrible pyrotechnic accident, got addicted to pain killers which eventually led to his death. So in a way, Pepsi killed Michael 😬
The $5M Michael Jackson Pepsi ad (1983) He demanded that his face not be shown for more than three seconds. He never wanted to do the commercial; he only did it so his brothers could make money. Nobody was getting paid when Mike left. $5 million in 1983 was a BAG 💰

Some old codger gave it to me. Said he was a distant relative

Living in California this reminds me of something
In 1998, Honduras completed an ambitious project over the Choluteca River, a modern bridge built with Japanese engineering and intended to serve as a major artery for the country. It was constructed to be stronger and more resilient than anything that had come before it. Engineers designed it to survive hurricanes, flooding, and the intense tropical weather that often strikes Central America. For a moment it stood as a symbol of progress. Then Hurricane Mitch arrived later that same year. Mitch became one of the deadliest storms in Central American history, unleashing days of relentless rain, destroying towns, and wiping out roads across Honduras. Entire communities vanished under landslides and floodwaters. Yet in the middle of this destruction, the new bridge remained standing almost untouched. It had survived exactly what it had been built to withstand. The problem was that the storm reshaped the land itself. The Choluteca River, swollen and violent, carved a completely new channel miles to the side of the bridge. When the waters finally receded, the bridge stood proudly over an empty patch of earth, disconnected from the river it was meant to span. It became known worldwide as the Bridge to Nowhere, a strange monument to the idea that the world can change even when the structures we build remain strong. After the disaster, engineers studied the Choluteca Bridge as a case study in climate adaptation, using its survival and the river’s rerouting to illustrate why modern infrastructure must plan not only for extreme weather but also for shifting landscapes themselves. #archaeohistories

A lot of the comments mention hardware failures or fixes. Seems like a great use case for shipping an Optimus or other humanoid robot that can survive in space.
"The most important thing in the next 3-4 years is data centers in space. In every way, data centers in space, from a first principles perspective, are superior to data centers on earth. In space, you can keep a satellite in the sun 24 hours a day. The sun is 30% more intense, which results in six times more irradiance than on Earth. So you don't need a battery. The cooling in these data centers is incredibly complicated. Space cooling is free. You just put a radiator on the dark side of the satellite. The only thing faster than a laser going through a fiber optic cable is a laser going through absolute vacuum. Link satellites with lasers, and you have a faster and more coherent network than any data center on Earth."

It seems like a lot, maybe the majority? of BDR emails are in the format --- Hi xyz, I love <names your product, what you're doing> I can book you 5-8 qualified meetings a week. We work with companies like yours etc etc --- Are people actually responding to these? I don't believe it but then again why are they all being sent like this?

Shooting gamma rays at people seems harmless enough
A new gamma-ray camera may soon change how doctors diagnose disease. Researchers have developed the world’s first gamma-ray detector made from perovskite – a crystal best known for its role in next-generation solar cells. Now, it’s being used to capture high-resolution images of what’s happening inside the human body. In tests, this perovskite camera was able to detect faint radiation signals with unprecedented clarity – revealing structures just a few millimeters apart. That level of detail could lead to more accurate diagnoses using lower doses of radiation, and in less time. Unlike traditional detectors, which use expensive and fragile crystals like cadmium zinc telluride, perovskites are easier to manufacture, less costly, and more adaptable. Until now, their use in nuclear medicine was theoretical. This is the first real-world demonstration of their imaging power. The detector works with a process called SPECT – single-photon emission computed tomography – where a small amount of radioactive tracer is introduced into the body. The tracer releases gamma rays, and the detector picks them up to create a 3D image of internal function: blood flow, heart rhythm, or tumor activity. The technology is now being commercialized, with the goal of making advanced nuclear imaging more affordable and accessible worldwide.
