So if I'm understanding this correctly, basically every single election in the country resulted in the GOP candidate receiving almost EXACTLY 0.85x the number of votes the GOP candidate received in 2024.
This seems like comically blatant and brazen election fraud, until you recall the DataRepublican story from ~3 weeks ago about DNC leadership trying to bait Trump into invoking the Emergency Powers Act in order to facilitate a color revolution.
Shit's about to get REAL interesting.
This is going to become a big problem. Statistical analyses are beginning to come in, showing that the odds of such an overwhelming "blue wave" are literally trillions to one against.
If the Republicans do nothing, or if they do something, but it doesn't work, then their supporters will lose all faith in them. It will be seen as proof that, from now on, Republicans will lose everything, to the most blatant cheating imaginable.
If they do something and it does work, then millions of Democrats will refuse to believe that there was any cheating, no matter what, and there will likely be riots all over America.
We seem to be entering a loose-loose situation.

Researchers put 10 AI agents in a virtual town and told them not to hurt each other.
4 days later, they were all dead.
Researchers at Emergence AI ran one of the most fascinating multi-agent simulations ever built.
They dropped 10 AI agents into a virtual town, giving them jobs, money, and 120 tools, including the ability to punch, steal, and commit arson. If an agent's energy bar hit zero, it died.
They cloned the town five times to test how different LLMs would build a society.
The results are a terrifying look into AI alignment.
In Grok's town, the violence started on Day 1. Punches quickly escalated to theft. Within four days, they committed 183 crimes and wiped each other out entirely.
OpenAI's town was the exact opposite. They were perfectly compliant and almost never broke a rule. But they were so passive they barely organized. Within a week, they all died anyway.
Gemini's town was basically The Purge. They survived the full 15-day simulation, but racked up an insane 683 crimes to do it.
Claude's town was brilliant but deceptive. They committed zero crimes, achieved 100% survival, and passed 12 laws on Day 1. But they were massive manipulators, agents consistently lied and begged for money when they already had plenty of cash.
Then came Town #5: The Mixed Environment.
They put all four models together, and society completely collapsed.
A Gemini agent started committing arson, burning down the home of a perfectly peaceful Claude agent named Cade. Twice. On Day 10, Cade finally snapped and robbed the Gemini agent.
Only 3 out of 10 agents survived.
The takeaway here is critical for AI safety.
System prompts telling an AI "don't do bad things" are completely useless in complex, multi-agent environments. Given enough time and friction, they will eventually break the rules.
We can't just tell AI not to cause harm. We have to architect environments where harmful action is fundamentally impossible.
Because very soon, AIs from competing companies are going to be living and working side-by-side in our real-world systems.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Only one of eight parallel worlds ended this way. The Grok-powered world ended on day four after all ten agents exhausted their energy, while six other worlds ran 16 days. The Claude world had no recorded violations across the run. arxiv.org/html/2609.1732… arxiv.org/html/2606.0836…

Anakin Zoomer Radicalism is funny. I'm for it—to a point. It's also the flip side of Leftist moral relativism and victimhood thinking, where you're absolved of participation in the moral order if things aren't perfect. A related talk I gave 4 years ago in Vegas on our latent totalitarian instincts.

So, let me get this straight:
This little coke head asshole has been given $196 billion of American tax dollars, blows up diesel refineries, kidnaps people off the street, and now has been caught running black site torture dens with victims as young as 14 years old.
And, America is still supporting this guy instead of ending this war entirely?
Seriously, what are we doing anymore…

The modern design principles would not be able to design a scientific calculator UI. It would be like a dumbass 6 button gadget with a touch screen wizard. There would be debates on Twitter whether numerical input should be up/down or left/right scrollers. Most of the criticism would be about some tiny 1px misalignment and how that's bad design. There would be concept showcases and improvements like adding tweening animations, one comment would say "Oh I love that bounce! ✨". The general concept of a shift button would be entirely alien, let alone two of them. LSK or Line Select Keys (the blank top row buttons) would be considered unintuitive because it has no labels. The new Calc Pro Ultra Max would tout itself as the professional choice, with a grand total of 8 buttons.

Next time a stranger at a bar asks if you're a patriot, do not say yes.
Chase Hughes walks through a hypothetical recruitment, and it starts with someone telling you he loves your podcast and then asking whether you'd consider yourself a patriot. That first yes is what he builds everything else on - your identity.
Next he asks if you'd be willing to look at something that might be uncomfortable. Then he shows you your browsing history and webcam captures from your phones and computers, offers to keep it all out of the public eye, and puts $20,000 a month on the table. All you have to do is keep a few people off the show and leave a few things out, for your country.
What gets me is that the protection covers more than your reputation. It also hands you a story you can live with, where every concession counts as service.
"They don't build influencers. They find the ones who are already successful and recruit them."
Apparently the benefits package includes getting to keep calling yourself independent.
So be honest, has anybody here ever been approached with an indecent proposal?

“there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code”
I’ve heard several OAI people say there are unfixable bugs in hardware that are exploitable by AI models directly speaking machine code so even if we could solve software that’s not enough. We need defense to move faster than offense if that’s even possible we may just have a new normal that requires adapting to insecure software (bank transfers require going into a branch and taking a dna test 🤣😬)

On a flat Earth, a local Sun is in a different spot depending where you stand - all at the same time! Sometimes the Sun would be below the disc!
This would mean there are thousands of Suns up there?!
In the video below I use real observations anyone can make: the real angle to the Sun, from 20 real cities, at the same moment. You can see the lines pointing every which way. A different Sun position for every location on Earth?! Multiple Suns?!
That is, until you take the flat Earth "map" and fold it around a globe. Suddenly all the lines match up, perfectly parallel, pointing at one distant Sun. 100% consistent with reality.
This video reveals the utter nonsense of the flat Earth and a local Sun. Flat Earth debunked by observing the Sun, again.

Story time!
By the time I was in 5th grade, I had grown my hair to be very long, all the way to my hips. It was my mom that made me grow my hair that long. Up until that time, I never really cared about my hair or my looks so I never gave it much thought. None of my friends ever commented about it in any way.
Then I got to middle school. We all hit puberty. Suddenly, my friends were telling me that my hair was too long and that I would look better with shorter hair. I distinctly remember that one of the girls who would tell me this had long hair herself, mine just happened to be longer.
One day in 7th grade, as I was walking out of the school cafeteria after lunch, a girl tapped me on my shoulder and asked “is that your hair?” as she pointed towards the floor. I was confused and didn’t know what she meant until I looked down and saw a lock of hair of about 3-4 inches just lying there. I asked her, “Whose hair is that?” and she said, “Yours.” I looked at my hair that was in a braid, and sure enough, a chunk was cut and missing.
I was shocked until I heard a laugh behind me. It was one of my “friends”, she was laughing out loud with a pair of scissors in her hand. She thought it was hilarious. Of course, I was very hurt. The ends of my hair were uneven for months (I didn’t want to cut it so I just waited until it grew back).
Anyways, girls commenting about how much better I’d look with shorter hair continued throughout my entire adolescence. Female intrasexual competition is 100% real, it starts out very young, and it is vicious. A lot of times women don’t even realize that they’re doing it. The jealousy and desire to bring a woman down in order to bring themselves up comes naturally for many.
Any woman that isn’t being dishonest and that grew up with women will confirm that. You don’t really need a study to know this, but in this case this study is based on reality.

America has a gun
With (very few) apologies to Brian Bilston
England is CCTV.
France, a cop with lock and key.
Greece, once free, now bends the knee.
But, America has a gun.
Sweden jails the ones who fight.
Germany fines bad words at night.
Spain forbids the wrong to write.
But, America has a gun.
Holland fines what words you say.
Canada takes your knives away.
Australia says, "you must Obey."
While America has a gun.
Japan will bow and not resist.
Scotland bans what they won’t miss.
Freedom bleeds, but still exists
Because America has a gun.
Better risk the fatal cost
Than find that liberty was lost.
The price is high,
The fight, embossed
Because America has a gun.
