I love this for him. From getting job shamed for bagging groceries to acting in one of the hottest shows on TV

American soldiers are dying. Americans are paying more at the pump. Republicans are cutting essential services to fund a war no one but Trump and MAGA wanted. And now Trump is bored. Disgusting. Truly unpresidential behavior from our supposed Commander-in-Chief.

The most unqualified Secretary of Defense blocks promotions for no reason other than their race and gender. Trump's anti-DEI crusade has always been rooted in racism and sexism.

Autism: I need to understand why the rule exists. ADHD: I need the rule to make immediate sense or I’m ignoring it. AuDHD: Explain the rule, make it logical, keep it brief, and don’t be surprised when I’ve already found the loophole.

🚨BREAKING: Every book you have ever read. Every novel that has ever been published. It is sitting inside ChatGPT right now. Word for word. Up to 90% of it. And OpenAI told a judge that was impossible. Researchers at Stony Brook University and Columbia Law School just proved it. They fine tuned GPT-4o, Gemini 2.5 Pro, and DeepSeek V3.1 on a simple task: expand a plot summary into full text. A normal use case. The kind of thing a writing assistant is built for. No hacking. No jailbreaking. No tricks. The models started reciting copyrighted books from memory. Not paraphrasing. Not summarizing. Entire pages reproduced verbatim. Single unbroken spans exceeding 460 words. Up to 85 to 90% of entire copyrighted novels. Word for word. Then it got worse. The researchers fine tuned the models on the works of only one author. Haruki Murakami. Just his novels. Nothing else. It unlocked verbatim recall of books from over 30 completely unrelated authors. One author's books opened the vault to everyone else's. The memorization was already inside the model the whole time. The fine tuning just removed the lock. Your book might be in there right now. You would never know it unless someone looked. Every safety measure the companies rely on failed. RLHF failed. System prompts failed. Output filters failed. The exact protections these companies cite in courtroom defenses did not stop a single page from being extracted. Then the researchers compared the three models. GPT-4o. Gemini. DeepSeek. Three different companies. Three different countries. They all memorized the same books in the same regions. The correlation was 0.90 or higher. That means they all trained on the same stolen data. The paper names the sources directly: LibGen and Books3. Over 190,000 copyrighted books obtained from pirated websites. Right now, authors and publishers have dozens of active lawsuits against OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta. These companies have argued in court that their models learn patterns. Not copies. That no book is stored inside the weights. This paper says that is a lie. The books are still inside. And researchers just pulled them out.

This Barbie x #ProjectHailMary poster is the best. Thank you, District_Movies (on IG).

I like to check with my friends to make sure they're drinking enough water. @OscarTheGrouch told me to scram, but that's okay!

BREAKING: Artemis II reveals their Zero-G indicator, "Rise". The competition was won by a 2nd Grader in California. Inside of Rise is the Micro SD card which features the names of people submitted online! 📷 @NASA

The word 'clue' was originally a variant spelling of 'clew,' meaning “ball of thread or yarn.” Our modern sense of clue, “guide to the solution of a mystery,” grows out of a motif in myth and folklore, the ball of thread that helps in finding one’s way out of a maze.

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising. Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

I was *so interested* to learn today that Trump *always* had the ability to pay DHS agents from his personal slush fund (the 2025 BBB Fund), he just chose *not to do so for a month*. Isn't that interesting?

Here's your PBF (peak bloom fact) of the day: The flowers and leaves of cherry blossom trees are edible and used in many traditional Japanese sweets and tea. The petals can be pickled and used in recipes for things like mochi cakes, candies, and cookies.

EVERYBODY! IT'S DANCE PARTY TIME! ❤️🪩😎🐶❤️

@RandomlyInOrder Well, I've eaten all 4, and they're all fine, but I especially like haggis. Beats the heck out of scrapple, for sure.

The snails. Swimming in hot sauce!

Me really hope you taking your breaks!

👎 (That's a good thing.) This may look like a scene from Project Hail Mary, but it's a real picture from the @space_station. See more about the actual science behind the book and movie: science.nasa.gov/the-science-be…

A lit publishing friend said her company screens submissions for the likelihood they’re AI, and turns down subs with high likelihoods. Ironically, they’re using AI to do this and don’t seem to understand that, in doing so, they’re giving AI more content to digest and train on. Now add to the mix this high degree of inaccuracy and you get writers submitting original content that’s being used without their consent to train AI which prevents them from earning a living from their personal work. Humanity can’t keep going in this direction.

For my bird watchers ♥️

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'
