Brute force computation is not enough for intelligence. Clever new methods are needed. The science of AI is far from finished. IMHO
Great discussion.

Fantastic news. Let the investigations begin!
BREAKING: Democrats are readying "aggressive" investigations into the "Trump crime family," including his oil deal with Putin, crypto ventures, market trades, big-tech donors to the White House ballroom, as well as his billionaire allies, per FT.
Major US oil companies have been put "on notice" for Trump's deal with Putin to ship diesel to the US.
AI companies, including Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, will be ordered to commit to reporting safety incidents within 48 hours of detection.
Robert Garcia says his message to the Trump orbit is "Lawyer up. Investigations start immediately."

Absolutely brutal from a BYD spokesman on designing cars for European conditions.
High priest of Our Democracy.
Aesthetically Alexandre de Moraes must easily be in any Top 5 International Villains list. Liquid Castlevania-core in his iconic trademark cape. Where else would you get shadowy éminence grise lusotropical commissars who dress like vampires? Nowhere else but Brazil - what a treat

This post goes some way to explaining the dire financial straits the UK is in...
"Britain has almost run out of taxpayers, or at the very least, it’s slowly running out of people who pay enough taxes to plausibly finance the state."
"...in 1998, about 43 per cent of British earners paid sufficient tax to cover the Government’s average per-capita spending. During Covid, that figure fell to an absolute low of circa 20 per cent, then by 2025 recovered modestly to 26.6 per cent."
No wonder if fewer than 27% of people are net contributors to the state
It's stats like this that make me want to leave. Big new project in the US in the next few months might be just the springboard I need

🚨🇬🇧 Turning Point UK's CEO was filmed offering an undercover reporter a menu of beatings, stabbings and killings through a Glasgow contact who says he arms the UVF
Al Jazeera’s undercover operation started in 2021 when a reporter joined the British offshoot of the American student group.
Its CEO Jack Ross, a Conservative candidate in 2023, introduced the reporter to Allan Nesbitt, a convicted criminal and self-described UVF member, agreed on camera to pay him to stage a fake pro-Zimbabwe rally, and priced out what Nesbitt’s friends could do to a person, from cutting faces to MURDER.
The UVF is the Ulster Volunteer Force, a Protestant loyalist paramilitary from Northern Ireland’s Troubles that killed over 500 people between 1966 and 1999, including 33 in one day in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, and is still banned as a terror group.
Since the peace deal it has run mostly as a drug gang that kept the name and the guns.
Nesbitt reportedly met the reporter in a London hotel, offered to have a fictional business rival “finished,” claimed he’d personally stabbed a man to death, showed a shotgun and pistol on a video call and said the fee would buy weapons smuggled from Scotland into Northern Ireland.
Ross says it was a joke. The joke came with a price list, a weapons demo and a smuggling route, and the police now have a name and a video... and wasn't particularly funny.
Somebody in Turning Point UK’s donor base should be asking when the fundraising dinners turned into this.

The GRU hacked into Jared Kushner's iPhone. Dutch military intelligence (MIVD) then recruited a GRU spy who gave them access to the hacked phone. What MIVD discovered was that Kushner had access to two bank accounts --one Azerbaijani, the other Israeli --where Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati ruler Mohammed bin Zayed deposited money. It sounds like a slightly far-fetched episode of "Slow Horses," but it's real. And it proves just how eye-poppingly corrupt this administration was and continues to be as its "special envoy" decides the fate of tens of millions in Europe in the Middle East. Simply incredible reporting by Matthew Cole, drawn from his new book on Kushner. vanityfair.com/story/jared-k…
Criminals are LHC with rightoid tendencies. They are an enemy of EHC, queerness+globalism. The most rightoid place in any country is in its prisons. Macho culture, religious fundamentalism, obsession with "honour", homophobia, sexism, veneration of violence etc all thrive there.
The wonders of globalism!
🚨#BREAKING: Absolutely WILD footage has emerged from Atlanta where an apartment complex now uses "robot security dogs" to patrol the area at night.
The robot dogs also seem to speak in Indian accents to the residents.
I've never seen anything like this before... insane!!!
