For most of human history, women did not experience children as some rare interruptions to adult life. Babies were everywhere, in arms, on hips, asleep in slings, playing under tables while bread was kneaded and laundry was folded. A young girl did not grow up in a world separated from motherhood. So how can women want babies when they rarely see babies? A baby changes the atmosphere of a room, people smile more, they speak softer, they are gentler, there is more joy. Perhaps the desire for children has not disappeared nearly as much as we think. Perhaps many women have simply been separated from the very thing that used to awaken that desire in their hearts.

People completely miss the most important thing about Tesla FSD It’s not just about convenience. It’s not a "cool self-parking trick." It’s about the fact that car crashes are the #1 killer of healthy people aged 5-29 globally and one company has gathered over 10 billion miles of real-world data to actually solve it Look at the recent data: Tesla just became the FIRST vehicle to pass NHTSA's new ADAS safety tests. Not the first EV. The first vehicle. Period. The reality is harsh but simple. Countries that approve FSD get safer roads overnight. Countries that delay will literally watch their citizens die in preventable crashes while bureaucrats sit in meeting rooms debating "safety." The "safety" argument against FSD is officially dead

Did you know CT imaging exists because of the Beatles?! The inventor of CT is Godfrey Hounsfield, a British electrical engineer who worked on radar systems at EMI. EMI was The Beatles' record label company. Because they were flush with profits due to The Beatles' recent success, they were willing to provide funds for Hounsfield's experimental idea of creating an image of an object with sliced X-ray imaging back in 1967. By 1969, Hounsfield built a prototype head scanner and tested it first on a preserved human brain. On October 1, 1971, the first live patient was successfully examined with a CT scanner: a woman with a suspected brain tumor. It's amazing how disparate events can come together (pun intended :)) to change the world and save lives!

"The Cybernetic Teammate" is a fascinating field experiment by a superstar team of researchers, including @raffasadun @emollick πŸ’‘The bottom-line: This field experiment suggests that one way in which AI can yield productivity benefits is not dissimilar from the way in which team production among humans can boost performance: by providing above-average performance in the tasks where workers have limited skills. This points to lessons about the contexts in which AI productivity gains should be relatively greater. 🧱 Randomly assign professionals at a large company to work either with or without AI, and either individually or teamed up with another human colleague. πŸ‘‰Individuals with AI matched the performance of human teams without AI. In particular, while individuals working alone tend to produce β€œunbalanced” solutions that favor their individual expertise. πŸ§ͺMy reading (through the lens of the theory of Superstar Teams I've worked on): The "AI as a teammate" perspective also yields testable predictions regarding the conditions under which AI can boost productivity: AI productivity gains should be greater when (i) humans are more specialized (i.e. they're productivity varies across the tasks bundled together into their job), (ii) AI capabilities are negatively correlated with human skills (i.e., best at the tasks the human/humans are worst at), and (iii) their overall capability is comparable (to avoid weak-link effects).

Okay, looks like /implement is the way to get Grok Build to run longer, just had my first 10 minute run πŸ’ͺ What's really neat is it's super critical of itself, essentially finds its own bugs, and then puts together subagents to address all the open issues. https://t.co/sGUzbhkM8C

What I am about to describe ain’t AGI; it’s a sign of a trillion dollar trainwreck. If I had told you in 2022 that the 2026 version of GPT (which by the way would only be GPT 5.5 and not GPT-6 or 7 like many people fantasized about) would still have strange quirks like inserting the word β€œgoblins” in random places, y’all would have called me either β€œcrazy” or β€œa hater” or both. β€œScaling”, you would have shouted. β€œDeep learning is conquering walls!”, you would have said. And yet here we are. OpenAI can’t even align their systems well enough to get them to stop talking about goblins without putting a bunch of utterly hack-y goblin-specific crud in their system prompts like (and I am not making this up) β€œnever talk about goblins, gremlins, raccoons, trolls, ogres, pigeons, or other animals or creatures unless it is absolutely and unambiguously relevant to the user’s query." Meanwhile, this nonsense varies by β€œpersona”. An actual quasi-scientific report on their website reports, without humor, β€œAcross all datasets in the audit, the Nerdy personality reward showed a clear tendency to score outputs to the same problem with β€œgoblin” or β€œgremlin” higher than outputs without, with positive uplift in 76.2% of datasets.” Instead of actual computer science, we are left with alchemy. Might as well be chanting magic incantations. Good luck solving AI safety with this tech. πŸ™„

On the other hand, boredom can suck. When people are asked to sit quietly for 15 minutes with their own thoughts or else self-administer painful electric shocks, 2/3 of men and 1/4 of women choose to shock themselves. 3/4 https://t.co/i9S9TOkiXk https://t.co/CUFVRzQKLq

I see people worried that kids don't get bored anymore... but boredom is often bad In a preregistered studies of 7,000 people, boredom led to sadism. 18% of bored people killed worms (2% of non-bored). Bored parents & soldiers both acted more sadistically https://t.co/Sk8iYXQhCo https://t.co/tXO4WAtbsb

Trump just got exposed for running the biggest insider trading operation in American history. Nancy Pelosi traded $5 million in stocks and Congress lost its mind. Trump literally executed $750 MILLION worth of stock trades in ONE quarter while being President. His ethics filing just dropped and the numbers are genuinely unprecedented in history: Between January and March 2026, Donald Trump personally executed 3,700 individual stock transactions worth between $220 million and $750 million. That's roughly 60 trades PER DAY. While signing executive orders, meeting foreign leaders, and making policy decisions that directly impact the companies he's buying and selling. Now here's where it gets really insane: On February 10, Trump bought between $1 million and $5 million worth of Dell stock. Three months later, on May 8, he stood at a Mother's Day event at the White House, thanked Michael Dell by name, and told Americans to "go out and buy a Dell." Dell stock surged 14.6% that day to an all-time high of $263.99. Since Trump's February purchase, Dell is up 96%. And 5 months BEFORE Trump bought Dell stock, Michael and Susan Dell donated $6.25 billion to Trump Accounts, one of the largest philanthropic commitments to a sitting president's signature program in modern history. So the timeline goes: Dell donates $6.25 billion to Trump's program -> Trump buys Dell stock ->Trump tells America to buy Dell from the White House podium -> Stock hits all-time high And that's just ONE stock... The same filing shows Trump bought Nvidia stock on February 10. One week later, Nvidia announced a massive chip deal with Meta. He bought more Nvidia stock one week BEFORE his own Commerce Department approved the sale of Nvidia chips to Saudi Arabia. He bought Intel stock starting in March 2026. The US government already owned a 9.9% stake in Intel worth over $41 billion. On April 30, Trump posted on Truth Social praising Intel, writing that "Intel Stock continues to rise." Intel jumped 3% in after-hours and is now up 140% year-to-date. He bought Palantir stock while his administration was actively handing them billion-dollar government contracts for immigration enforcement and defense. He bought Robinhood stock while his own Trump Accounts program uses Robinhood as the broker. He's currently sitting on over 100% profit on AMD, Intel, Bloom Energy, Marvell Technology, and at least 10 other positions. Every single president since Lyndon B. Johnson has used a blind trust to avoid exactly this situation. But Trump didn't. His assets sit in a trust controlled by his own children, and the filings show a broker acted as agent on several trades. The White House says the portfolio is "independently managed." But here's what independently managed looks like: Buy Dell stock. Three months later, publicly endorse Dell from the White House. Stock hits all-time high. Buy Nvidia stock. One week later, your own government approves their chip sales. Stock rips. Buy Intel stock. Post about Intel on Truth Social. Stock jumps. The government you run already owns a 10% stake. Buy Palantir. Hand them contracts. Buy Robinhood. Route a federal program through their platform. Nancy Pelosi got absolutely destroyed for her husband's stock trades. Her husband's total disclosed trades in his most controversial year were worth roughly $5 million. Trump just disclosed up to $750 MILLION in a single quarter. While making the actual policy decisions that move these stocks. This isn't a left or right issue. We're talking about the President of the United States averaging 60 stock trades per day in companies his own administration regulates, contracts with, and publicly endorses. What do you think?
