“Arrêtez! C’est pas la cause!”
Watch this. Then watch it again. Carve it into your memory.
The stunned look. The way she tries to reason with savages. The way she still deludes herself about what the “cause” actually is.
In a few days, leftists will start rewriting this into something noble, a just expression of a righteous cause. The looting and destruction will be reframed as resistance.
“Ce n’est pas la cause”. But it is the cause, my simple French lady.
Did you really think this was about textbooks? The leftist media, teachers, activists, and politicians who lied to you never did.
“The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.”
And that revolution is hatred and destruction in action.
You’d expect people who don’t understand this to finally get it when it happens to them. She probably won’t.
Accepting the truth would mean reevaluating everything she was taught about multiculturalism, leftism, egalitarianism, immigration, and coexistence. It would mean admitting that much of what she was told was racist, bigoted, fascist, and xenophobic was actually just reality.
Most people can’t carry that weight. So they’ll rationalize it away, blame a few bad individuals, insist the values are still noble, and move on. They’re wrong, but it’s easier than admitting the ideology produces this.

We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

this rumor that Anthropic has solved a Millennium Prize Problem is getting very interesting.

most people still have NO clue how good AI music has gotten.
we are so cooked 😭
Lyria 3.5, our best-sounding music generation model, is now available in AI Studio, via the Gemini API, and in the Gemini app
this model brings more expressive vocals and richer musical arrangements, allowing you to craft tracks with higher fidelity
try it today: ai.studio

Sparks of SuperIntelligence here.
Astra maps out a room using the audio of a dog barking in the room.
This is why I believe a lot of privacy rules are irrelevant or unworkable.

people are dramatically underappreciating how much this discovery rewrites history
> for decades, archaeologists believed the amazon could only support small, scattered communities because its soil was too poor for large, complex civilizations

what else is still hiding beneath the other 97% of the Amazon??

We've always had users asking us: how do we handle sending data to a rate limited service when building automations and workflows with Custom Actions?
With the new Queue Profiles feature, you can now control exactly how often and when your actions run.
Here's a quick demo.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

I've watched a ton of people vibe code internal tooling only to realize:
"I am now the admin for something that basically does the same thing as the software we used to use "
And go back to using that software. It turns out 10% more customization isn't really worth it at all

*Scene 232, some time in 2025*
APPLE: Can we release Siri AI?
EC: Sure, if you want to get fined under the DMA
APPLE: How can we comply with the DMA?
EC: Give third-parties access to all the private data on Apple phones so that they can compete with you.
APPLE: But we can't do that, it would invade our users' privacy, and it's a violation of our brand promise.
EC: Then Siri AI won't be compliant with the DMA.
APPLE: How about if we give them access to a "Trusted System Agent", middleware that would allow competing virtual assistants to safely access the same features and capabilities as Siri AI?
EC: That's not equal access to everything you have access to, we want you to share everything, for free, that's what we think the DMA demands.
APPLE: I'm not sure that's what the text says, are you sure we can't talk about this? We don't even know if that's technically possible. We designed Siri AI to work with our systems, our private cloud, and on-device processing, we don't know how to provide the same access to third-parties from the jump. It's going to take time.
EC: That's fine, you can take your time, but if you launch in Europe we'll fine you.
APPLE: Can we start with the Trusted System Agent, and then figure out how to give you everything you want, that is technically possible, and in a privacy preserving way, over the next 18 months?
EC: Nope. EU law is non-negotiable.
APPLE: Really? That sucks, we don't want to Abandon our European users.
EC: That's Apple's decision, and Apple's only.
Apple decided not to roll out SIRI AI in the EU.
The non-interoperability of their design made the update not suitable for the EU market.
Why? Because big tech companies cannot decide which EU tool should be used by EU citizens.
