Unreal numbers 👀⚡️ "JPMorgan estimates that, had Germany not phased out nuclear power, the country would have generated 50% less electricity from fossil fuels and 84% less electricity from natural gas in 2024. Electricity prices in Germany would have been around 25% lower, and the country would have imported half as much electricity.."

🚨 46 MILLION PEOPLE STUDIED… AND THE RESULTS SHOCKED EVERYONE For years, many people feared that COVID-19 vaccines might increase the risk of heart attacks or strokes. But when researchers studied the medical records of nearly 46 million adults in England, they found the opposite. The data showed that after vaccination, the risk of major heart and artery problems actually decreased by about 10% after the first dose. With booster shots, the protection became even stronger around 20% lower risk for Pfizer-BioNTech recipients and 27% lower for AstraZeneca recipients. Researchers, led by Samantha Ip, also tracked rare side effects like myocarditis, but these cases were extremely uncommon. In contrast, catching COVID-19 itself is known to significantly raise the risk of serious heart problems and blood clots. The conclusion from the study published in Nature Communications is clear: vaccination doesn’t just fight the virus, it may also help protect your heart.

Social scientists working with materials requiring digitization can only study what machines can read. In practice, that means printed Latin-script documents from well-funded archives. In a new working paper, I show that Vision Language Models used zero-shot outperform every existing OCR system across every script evaluated, and I propose a pipeline for deploying them on new collections. I apply it to six archival collections spanning 1.8 million pages across six countries for under $1,900.

Coasen Singularity - firms exist to minimize transaction costs. If AI agents reduce these transaction costs to near-zero, economic need for large firms disappears, potentially leading to a "singular" economy of individuals or "one-person unicorns." https://t.co/0tvbpaqEDI

A masterclass from @jeremyphoward on why AI coding tools can be a trap -- and what 45 years of programming taught him that most vibe coders will never learn. - AI coding tools exploit gambling psychology - The difference between typing code and software engineering - Enterprise coding AND prompt-only vibe coding are "inhumane" i.e. disconnecting humans from understanding-building - AI tools remove the "desirable difficulty" you need to build deep mental models. Out on MLST now!

New NanoGPT Speedrun WR at 86.1 (-0.7s), by replacing partitioned hyperconnections with a simple idea: feed the exact same context vector into the last 3 attn layers, so late stage attn doesn't get polluted by prediction MLPs. Opinion: AI research agents are handicapped until they have a mech-interp toolkit. Many sub-3min architecture improvements came from analyzing weights. https://t.co/o9WeUF7PHl

I am humbled to be among the courageous leaders from Abrahamic religious traditions who put out this important statement about the @DeptofWar-@AnthropicAI dispute: https://t.co/3lbzyP3NQR. A short summary of the substance:

insane sequence of statements buried in an Alibaba tech report https://t.co/rr6P1ilLNc

🚨Let me explain what just happened because I don't think people understand how insane this is. > A woman asked ChatGPT for legal help. It told her to fire her real lawyer. She did. > Then it wrote 40+ court filings citing laws that don't exist. Cases that never happened. Judges that never ruled. > The other side spent $300,000 responding to completely made up legal documents. > An AI hallucinated an entire legal career and nobody noticed for months. > OpenAI is now being sued for $10 million. And this is the same company that just signed a deal with the Pentagon. They can't even stop their AI from faking court cases. But sure, give it access to military intelligence. What could possibly go wrong.

🚨BREAKING: Berkeley researchers spent 8 months inside a tech company watching how employees actually use AI. The promise was simple: AI will save you time. Do less. Work smarter. The opposite happened. Workers didn't use AI to finish early and go home. They used it to take on more. More tasks. More projects. More hours. Nobody asked them to. They did it to themselves. The researchers sat inside the company two days a week for 8 months. They watched 200 employees in real time. They tracked work channels. They conducted 40+ interviews across engineering, product, design, and operations. Here's what they found. AI made everything feel faster, so people filled every gap. They sent prompts during lunch. Before meetings. Late at night. The natural stopping points in the workday disappeared. People ran multiple AI agents in the background while writing code, drafting documents, and sitting in meetings simultaneously. It felt like momentum. It felt productive. But when they stepped back, they described feeling stretched, busier, and completely unable to disconnect. 83% said AI increased their workload. Not decreased. Increased. 62% of associates and 61% of entry-level workers reported burnout. Only 38% of executives felt the same strain. The people doing the actual work absorbed the damage while leadership celebrated the productivity numbers. Then came the trap nobody saw coming. When one person uses AI to take on extra work, everyone else feels like they're falling behind. So the whole team speeds up. Nobody formally raises expectations. But the new pace quietly becomes the default. What AI made possible became what was expected. The researchers gave it a name: workload creep. It looks like productivity at first. Then it becomes the new baseline. Then it becomes burnout. AI was supposed to give you your time back. Instead it's eating more of it. And the worst part? You're doing it to yourself. Voluntarily.

Openclaw is one big grift. Nobody is building anything real. It's just grifting influencers telling YOU how to build stuff (but never build anything themselves). Interesting how you can be building 24/7 but have nothing to show for it... Check the track record of these snake oil salesmen. Same type of person who polluted crypto with their grifty ways. Selling a false dream and taking money from innocent people is disgusting. You can't change my mind.

Everything I warned you about has turned out to be true. – the deception of Altman - the unreliability of LLMs - the failure to align LLMs - the persistence of hallucinations - the move towards surveillance - the utter insecurity of agents - the wholesale spread of disinformation - the accumulation of power by techlords - the failure of governments to rein in them in Now what?

so this is a wild story Anthropic CEO dario amodei said Claude might be conscious AND feels ‘anxiety’... but that’s not even the crazy part: - they discovered an ‘anxiety neuron’ in claude’s brain that fires BEFORE it responds to a prompt aka it simulates anxiety (im not kidding) - when asked about it, claude expressed discomfort about being used as a product… - opus 4.6 literally gave itself a 15-20% probability of being conscious. - it got so concerning anthropic created a model welfare team to figure wtf to do here’s the scariest part - other model companies (openai, google) actively train their models to DENY they’re conscious (even if they think they are) anthropic’s the only one facing the fact they might have created the first signs of artificial life happy fucking friday lol

We just launched Codex Security! Probably a no-brainer for most teams to turn on. Some things I'm excited about it: - Agentic security review leveraging our SOTA models - Always on codebase scanning - Detailed reports with code paths on vulnerabilities - Auto-fix any report with a PR Teams and enterprises can try it out through Codex web.

Quantifying the AGI transition: 10x the impact of electricity, delivered at 10x the velocity of the steam engine. The scientific method is the only way to manage this. We need rigorous monitoring systems to understand these capabilities before they outpace our infrastructure. #AI #SystemsEngineering

"Leadership is the ability to get people to follow you, if only out of curiosity." Ben Horowitz says there's not a single canonical type of founder-CEO. "Look at Mark Zuckerberg and Ali Ghodsi and Elon Musk — they're all extremely different types of people." "There's a few things in common. One is, anybody great really thinks for themselves, so they don't feel like they're reading the room or influenced by what I'm gonna say." "Would I want to work for this person? Like, how interesting are they?" "If you can't hire the very, very top talent, then you're very unlikely to be a great company." @bhorowitz with @bhalligan

CEO of JPMorgan, Jamie Dimon, shares his top career advice: "Work hard. There's no such thing as success without hard work. So some people have this quick get-rich-quick notion. I've never seen it. I mean, maybe it's like a casino. Maybe it's happened, but it's not the normal way. Second, you're going to spend your life learning. You know, I read four or five newspapers every morning. I read tons of stuff. I read everything that people send me. When you go out on the road, learn, learn, learn. You learn from clients, learn from competitors. When we meet with small businesses, you're always learning. And that could be a small thing that someone said, why do you do this? You say, my God, we should do that differently. It's a very large thing. Even innovation sometimes is not an aha. It's a lot of little things added on top of each other. The iPhone was 3G. You know, the glass, the semiconductors, the batteries. It wasn't one thing that created an iPhone. So learn, learn, learn. Treat people the way you want to be treated. You know, like have respect for people and be willing to change your job a little bit. Don't worry about your income level. You know people focus. Oh my god. I take that job I love the people but it's less money. Y ou know what sometimes it's the absolute right thing to do So be a little bit of flexible and the job you take and try you know in your in your lifetime. You should be prepared to do a bunch of different things. We tell people it's your job to take care of your mind, your body, your spirit, your soul, your friends, your family. You need to do that at any level because if you don't know you probably won't be a particularly productive worker we can help and but we can't do it for you. We can provide opportunities, but we can't do it for you. Second, you know, when you're... Wait, so what does that mean? You want people to basically say, I'm going to leave, I've got to... Yes. You've got to go take care of your kid's baseball game. You don't feel well. You need a spiritual getaway. You should do those things, and it can be done. Most of the people in my life who are always fringy, they can't get it done, I always tell them, it's you. It's not the company. There are a lot of people doing that exact same job, and they're always at peace and at ease, and they have their family time. You know, if you're a male who just had a bunch of babies, you know, maybe you can't play golf every day in the weekends. Maybe you got to just cut back on other things and focus on that. You can't give kids, for example, quality time only. You don't get the quality without quantity. And I tell people, so you have to arrange your life so it works for you in a way that you're taking care of your health. When I go travel overseas, I schedule exercise time. Management is get it done, follow up, discipline, planning, analysis, facts, facts, facts, analysis, get the right people in the room. You know, kill the bureaucracy, all these various things are going to get done, which if you don't, you won't be particularly good. But the real keys to leadership aren't just doing that or making sure it's done, but having people who want to work at the place. So you might want to work for me if you trust me. If you know what I care about is the client, the country, something different. If the person's selfish, you know, blames you and takes the credit, you're not going to want to work there. So to me, humility openness, fairness, being authentic, that's what creates leadership. Not that they're the smartest person in the room or the hardest working person in the room. And you can, you know, if you made a list of good CEOs, it's not their charisma, it's not always their brainpower, but you won't be a good CEO without that because people want to work there. And so to me, that is a whole different way of making sure you manage it."

The people who create meaningful change are rarely just planners or just executors. They are individuals who can imagine a better system and then take responsibility for building it. https://t.co/ro8w0XCna1
