Pithadia discusses how the cityβs close-knit startup community, research and engineering talent, and support from AWS Activate has helped PolyAIβs team launch and grow the company.
The welfare state has been more destructive to the black family than slavery just by restructuring the incentives. In 1960, nearly a century after emancipation, only about 22% of black children grew up in single-parent households. By 1990, after the Great Society welfare expansions, that number had more than tripled. Thomas Sowell has long shown this wasnβt the lingering shadow of slavery or some vague βlegacy.β The destruction of the black family was the direct result of welfare policies that subsidized single motherhood and penalized marriage. The incentives changed, and family structure collapsed accordingly.
Most black births today occur out of wedlock, and a growing share involve different fathers over time. Two-income households carry an extremely low poverty risk around 1β2%. Single-income parent homes face poverty rates of 25β35%. The nuclear family still matters. Stable tw

everyone's upset that fable 5 is gone, but can i remind you that opus 4.8 just one-shotted this: an AI badminton scorekeeper point a phone at the court β it follows the shuttlecock, keeps score, and tells you how hard you're whacking it get back to building friends https://t.co/Kj6A9PafLP
This AI just exposed the BIGGEST legal insider trading operation in America. A platform called GovGreed built a seven-layer machine learning system that cross-references every stock trade disclosed by every sitting politician against the bills their committees control, the campaign donations they receive, and the companies their votes directly impact. It scored all 540 politicians currently in Congress. And the numbers are crazy: 56% of every stock purchase made by Congress in the last 16 months was on a stock directly affected by a bill the buyer later voted on. That is 6,170 out of 11,016 total purchases. More than HALF of all congressional stock buys are on companies whose fate that same politician is about to decide. 343 of 540 Congress members actively trade stocks while holding access to nonpublic legislative information. That is 63.8% of the entire legislature making market bets with an informational edge that would put any hedge fund manager in prison. The AI identified 752 active "Triple Signals" in the current Congress. A Triple Signal fires when three conditions line up at once: The politician sits on the committee controlling a bill, they traded stock in a company affected by that bill, AND they received campaign contributions from that same industry. Bills carrying these insider indicators pass at 5.4 TIMES the normal rate. Now look at the individual leaderboard: - Nancy Pelosi's estimated portfolio sits at $194 million with a Greediness score of 98.1 out of 100 - Ro Khanna made 13,231 trades across 800+ different tickers - Michael McCaul made 32,302 trades and filed 6,670 of them late - Thomas Suozzi filed 86.4% of his trades late with an average delay of 396 days, meaning his disclosures landed over a YEAR after he made the trade And then there is Lisa McClain, the fourth-ranking Republican in the House. She has made 1,443 trades in three years, more than 98% of all politicians tracked. She violated the STOCK Act twice in a single year, disclosing up to $900,000 in trades months after the legal deadline. Her husband bought up to $250,000 in Elon Musk's xAI, which quietly converted into SpaceX equity before last Friday's $2 trillion IPO. The penalty for all of this? A $200 fine. The number of Congress members ever prosecuted under the STOCK Act since it passed in 2012? Zero. And the cruelest part is this: A bill to ban congressional stock trading was introduced in January 2026. It has bipartisan support. Over 80% of American voters want it passed. But Congress is sitting on it, because the people who would have to vote yes are the same people making millions from the system staying exactly the way it is. They write the insider trading laws, they exempt themselves from enforcement, they trade on the information those laws generate, and when they get caught, they pay a fine that is basically nothing. The AI didn't discover anything Congress was hiding. It just organized what was already public into a pattern so obvious that nobody can pretend it isn't there anymore.

The Trump administration is looking to take financial stakes in OpenAI & Anthropic. The recent Anthropic Claude Fable 5 & Mythos 5 restrictions could be a leveraging tool: "Maybe this could be kind of a negotiating tacticβ¦β β @steph_palazzolo, AI Reporter https://t.co/3ZIgGklZ8m

The AI talent war is not just being fought with money. As companies race to build more powerful AI systems, culture, purpose and employee trust are becoming competitive advantages in their own right. The challenge is not only attracting great talent. It is giving people a reason to stay motivated once they arrive.

If this really is the "jailbreak" that got Fable shut down I'm deeply unimpressed https://t.co/tRhzKcFHRX
A few days offline can feel like an eternity in AI. Anthropic and US officials are now working toward a deal to restore access to some of the company's most advanced models, underscoring how quickly technical, commercial and national security interests can collide. The governance of AI is becoming almost as important as the technology itself.
A bit weird that Google Scholar knows about papers that cite our OpenMidnight pathology foundation model but doesn't actually populate it as an article entry on our profiles. https://t.co/4YnSMcqvPR

This developing story about Dario's failed communications with the White House confirms everything I've ever believed about the enormous power of the Sales Chad. You can be the smartest, most hard working, well-meaning guy around, but if you can't get people to like you, it's all for nothing. When the time comes to send one of your own to meet inside the Halls of Power, you don't send the Geek Squad. You must send the affable, beer-drinking, golf-loving Sales Chad. It literally doesn't matter if he understands the product half as well as everyone else. You send him. It's what he was put on Earth to do.
