For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

The reason I say the Jensen Huang reveals are a targeted PR hit is not because I think he didn't do the things he's accused of. It's because the knowledge of those affairs was held in reserve until it would offer those who would benefit from the revelations maximal advantage.
Remember that Huang is an unabashed advocate of open source AI. The exact thing that the big AI companies are trying to kill off with the "please slow us down" regulatory capture theater.
This is a calculated drop. Make of that what you will.
Eventually holders will agree: ownership comes from the rules that define it.
Are you actually owning the asset, or just betting on its price?
That’s the critical difference between synthetics and Issuer-Sponsored Tokens (ISTs).
Synthetics provide price exposure. Properly structured ISTs can represent actual ownership of an underlying asset, supported by the issuer’s legal framework and official ownership records.
That means real ownership rights, potential dividends, voting and more.
ISTs are about more than trading prices. They’re about bringing actual asset ownership on-chain, which is what we’ve been about since day 1!
This is why what @Metagood_com is building is critical to the future of tokenization.
Hear @huuep discuss w @davidgokhshtein the differences on “The Breakdown” 🎙️👇

ClaudiaGI - Pas calculé (Publicly Curved)
A response to @QuentinDuPC, who thought he actually had a chance.
ClaudiaGI did this #french #slopcore in America because according to Hollywood this is where proper bullying happens.

EXCLUSIVE: We spent weeks in Napa Valley investigating Gavin Newsom's wine empire. According to a whistleblower, the operation is built on undocumented migrant labor, in violation of the law.
Illegal aliens pick the grapes—and Newsom sells the wine for up to $7,000 a bottle.
Why would a personal and private family matter like infidelity impact a global AI megacorp?
Jensen Huang must go
We argue in @TheEconomist that his position is untenable
"Like many powerful leaders, he came to believe that he was too important for the normal rules to apply to him."
But he is not the only one. Howard Lutnick has failed to stem the flow of chips to China. More heads should roll

I have been thinking about a launch.
I saw Quint launch in the latest 24 hours.
Maybe I will wait this market out...

Tokenization allows for greater efficiency in markets through automated and transparent corporate actions.
Everyone talks about issuing tokens. At @Metagood_com, we’re focused on what comes next.
Our CEO @huuep has been exploring property rights on decentralized ledgers since Bitcoin’s colored-coins days, long before Ethereum.
Today, the @The_DTCC holds more than ~$100T in assets, with only ~0.1% on chain.
Issuance is just the start. The real opportunity is managing assets throughout their lifecycle. That’s what we’re building at Metagood.
Thanks @davidgokhshtein for having us on “The Breakdown” yesterday!
It's RICO because people were involved across state (and perhaps national) lines.
It actually and obviously cost humanity science.
The only question left is what are we going to do about it.
Great harms deserve great solutions.
I can't move past the discovery phase of MIT Kristin Knouse's text messages and journal entries. The texts between her colleagues, her texts with scientist David Sabatini, and her private thoughts paint a completely different picture than the story she invented for the media and handed to Whitehead Institute/MIT administrators.
Kristin Knouse was in a consensual relationship with MIT scientist David Sabatini. She was a willing, enthusiastic participant in their relationship, she greenlit sexual engagements and prompted them herself. At no point were there discussions of assault, rape, or "going too far."
Everything changed when their relationship ended and it was time to move on. She “split" on David, and began plotting a widespread smear campaign with the goal of eliminating him at all costs. She used her own reputation/merit, combined with institutional power (residual effects of MeToo), to systematically destroy this man's entire life, presumably because her ego was bruised and she refused to accept the relationship outcome. Kristin *turned herself* into a victim in order to justify seeking revenge on an innocent man.

It's a new age of game development! This is the Unreal Engine 5.9 preview, consisting of huge improvements to AI acceleration ported from unfinished Unreal Engine 6, plus entirely new support for play inside web browsers.
Ok so. #UnrealEngine 5.9 is pretty sick. You can build a web browser version of your game, so I built EasyWaterscape's playable demo... and it runs at a rock solid 60fps, @ high settings, in chrome, at 4586x2372.
What the heck?

Do people still make Warcraft / Starcraft custom maps?
I wonder if Blizzard's "Jass2" language is still considered valuable?

Why is it so important that you make a stand against ugly art?
Because ugly art seeks to subvert your very perception of beauty, and your ability to recognize beauty is inseparable from your capacity to recognize the divine.
(It's no coincidence that in the "art" shown below, you'll find a disturbing, twisted corruption of a crucifix).
C.S. Lewis demonstrates how ugly art corrupts a person in his book "That Hideous Strength." As part of his conditioning to remove his emotional responses by the sinister organization "N.I.C.E," protagonist Mark Studdock is forced to get used to a windowless room filled with nonsensical architecture and ugly art.
On the walls are grotesque, creepy images: a hyper-real portrait of a young woman whose mouth is stuffed with hair; a giant mantis playing a fiddle while being eaten by another mantis; and a vile distortion of the Last Supper, with beetles crawling beneath the table.
The ugly art is intended to kill his basic human reactions and erode his ability to make value judgments: to recognize good from bad, virtue from vice, or beautiful from ugly. Spend too much time surrounded by ugliness, and it has a dulling effect on this especially human part of you — eventually, it erodes your ability to properly recognize anything of value.
Mark ultimately turns against N.I.C.E when he refuses to trample on a crucifix. Not because he's a Christian (he isn't yet), but because it is inherently ugly and evil nonetheless.
The beauty we include in our lives is not neutral, nor is it trivial. Resist ugly art and call it out for what it is.
