I am begging the GOP to adopt the following platform:
Abortion - 16 weeks with exceptions, adoption reform & expanded child tax credit
Healthcare - transition to a Singapore or Swiss style system
Social security - raise the income cap to 1m and index it to inflation

this guy just had Claude Sonnet 5 perform brain surgery on a living mouse
the goal was to treat the mouse's epilepsy so it would stop having so many seizures.
here's what Claude did:
> it looked at 19 possible treatments and picked one that boosts the brain's natural calming chemical
> it chose where to inject it based on where these seizures are thought to start
> it worked out the exact injection point by averaging three research papers
> it lowered the needle 4.3 millimeters into the mouse's brain
> it injected a 20,000th of a teaspoon of the treatment over five minutes
> it checked the live camera 32 times to watch for things like bleeding
and the mouse woke up and recovered well!
interestingly, Opus 5.5 and Opus 5 both refused the task because it involved real biology
so Sonnet 5 got the job.
and as far as the researcher knows it's the first time an AI has picked a treatment and then injected it into the brain of a living mammal.
Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse.
We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures.
It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding.
A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent.
Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it.
[Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]
Hahahahaha

🇩🇪 Germany’s Left may fail to form coalition over fears of Islamist radicals in own party
A major political scandal erupted in Berlin after staff of Elif Eralp, the Left party’s candidate for governing mayor, accidentally sent journalists a document in which she admitted fearing for her family’s safety because of people in her own party with links to Palestinian radical organizations.
The day before the letter, the party invited well-known pro-Palestinian activist Ibrahim Ibrahim to a party event. He has been linked to support for the terrorist organization Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
One of the party's MPs, Ferat Kocak, was pictured with Ibrahim Ibrahim.
CDU representatives have now demanded that the Left’s potential coalition partners, the SPD and the Greens, reconsider plans to form a joint government, saying they are no longer sure how the Left will form a government if they themselves fear an “Islamist environment in their own party.”
The head of Berlin’s Neukölln district said the situation shows how deeply supporters of antisemitic and terrorist organizations can be connected to the Left party.

The Muslim Brotherhood made a formal endorsement of Abdul El-Sayed for senator.
Racist to point out things AES has said and people he chooses to associate with?
Both those things are fair game for any candidate and the characterizations Rogers has made have been about AES not the community more broadly.
The resist lib routine from Miller is getting old.

Today I addressed the City Club of Chicago, the longest-running civic forum in our City and unveiled my Growth Plan.
Only one candidate running for mayor has a proven track record of turning around a fiscal crisis - and that’s me.
Chicago has had enough unmet promises. What this city needs is someone who can deliver actual progress.
So today I stated my Growth Plan goals: lower costs, more housing, a growing population, jobs in every neighborhood, and a future where Chicago is leading the next economy.
I’m ALL IN Chicago.
