turns out AI models cannot do math.. even grade school math. the kind a 10-year-old solves.
Apple published a devastating study that exposes a massive illusion at the core of artificial intelligence.
they took the standard math benchmark (GSM8K) that every AI company uses to brag about how smart their model is.
first, they just changed the names in the word problems.. the models' performance fluctuated for no reason.
then, they changed the numbers. the performance immediately dropped.
but then they ran the test that broke everything.
they added one single, completely irrelevant sentence to the word problem. something like: "By the way, 5 of the apples were green."
A human 10-year-old ignores the green apples and solves the underlying math.
the AI didn't.
across every state-of-the-art model, performance collapsed by up to 65%.
the AI blindly grabbed the irrelevant number and tried to shove it into the equation. it didn't know why it was doing the math. it just saw a number and assumed it was supposed to use it.
there is no genuine logical reasoning happening under the hood.
we are deploying these systems to run our finances, analyze our legal documents, and make complex strategic decisions.
but the models don't actually understand the logic they are spitting out.
they just know what a smart answer is supposed to look like.

If you are not preparing to permanently leave this country then I feel sorry for you. The UK is dead. I know some of you will say that this is your home but in reality that home has gone.
There has been no real wage increase since 2008. Businesses are taxed into oblivion, inflation is completely out of control, borrowing is unsustainable, the police are now enemies by training, the politicians are openly Marxist, the borders have been open for 29 years, crime is rampant, stabbings are ‘normal’, sectarian voting is the norm, rape of children is no longer taken seriously, the few now work on behalf of the many, sexual perversion is now accepted as ‘normal’ and whether you believe it or not this country will issue a military draft within the next 2 years.
I’m out.

🚨 IT'S HAPPENING: 🇨🇳 CHINA IS CLOSING IN ON THE LAST THING IT COULDN'T BUILD.
HBM. The memory inside every AI chip on earth. The crown jewel. The one China was GENERATIONS behind on.
Not anymore.
CXMT just hit HBM3, matching the tech Samsung and SK Hynix built their empire on.
The gap that was supposed to last a decade? It just collapsed to THREE YEARS.
And CXMT is raising $4 BILLION to slam the door shut.
Are you positioned?

英伟达不要铜线了。它的 GPU 机架里,原本缠着 2 英里长的铜线,现在准备全部换成玻璃。谁来造?康宁。那个做手机屏幕大猩猩玻璃的康宁。为了接住英伟达,康宁直接在北卡罗来纳和得克萨斯建了 3 座新工厂,专供英伟达产品。作为交易的一部分,英伟达拿下了这家 175 年历史老厂 5 亿美元的认股权证。不光是英伟达,今年早些时候,Meta 也刚跟康宁签了 60 亿美元的光缆大单。为什么要换掉铜?因为 AI 太费电了。康宁 CEO 算了一笔账:传输光子所需的能量,比传输电子要少 5 到 20 倍。不仅省电,延迟还更低。这项光通信业务现在成了康宁最大的印钞机,占到 2025 年超 160 亿美元总销售额的 40%,直接掀翻了卖手机屏和电视屏的老本行。
来看看一条喂饱生成式 AI 的光纤,是怎么造出来的。
第一步,气相沉积。用燃烧的方式,把玻璃烟灰沉积在一根棒的外侧。
第二步,极高温提纯。提纯到什么程度?康宁的工程师说:如果把这种玻璃填满整个印度洋,你能从海面清楚地看到海底。一点杂质都不能留,因为杂质会导致信号丢失。
第三步,拉丝。纯净的玻璃块被送进高温熔炉,直接拉伸成 125 微米的光纤。比人的头发丝还要细。
接着是涂层、变色、卷轴。一卷线轴,可以长达 31 英里。多达 288 根光纤被捆成一个小包。一根光缆里,最多能塞进 6912 根这样的光纤。
康宁专为 AI 数据中心发明的新光缆叫 Contour。同样的 1728 根光纤,以前有大腿粗,现在缩小了一大半。原来数据中心的地下管道只能塞一根,现在能塞进去两根。物理空间不加一寸,数据容量直接翻倍。
这就是美国底层的硬核制造。一家 175 年历史的传统玻璃厂,没有在硅谷的狂飙中掉队,反而成了算力爆发的物理瓶颈解药。谁能用最极致的工艺降低能耗,谁就能在时代的餐桌上吃下最肥的一块肉。

She has consistently used this verbiage "two cent" to minimize the enormity of the taking.

@Vicki1389135466 @mubeitech 文化比较单一的国家大家有共识,有common sense。 多元化社会无法形成社会共识,所以移民人口必须控制在 10% 以下,不然肯定出乱子。

@mubeitech 我说实话,国内生活了几十年、欧洲生活了几十年,对比之下,国内的人真比这帮脑残白左强多了,大部分人还是是非分明的,现在的白左真他妈的就是垃圾中的战斗机,每天都给犯罪分子找一万种理由开脱。现在的英国早就是穆斯林的英国,他们掌握了核武器和军队,国王都拿他们没有办法

同样是“我不能呼吸”(I can't breathe)。
2020年的美国,这句话让全球下跪。
去年的英国,这句话只换来警察的冷血手铐。
18岁的英国白人男孩 Henry Nowak,在南安普敦街头被刺杀。
凶手是个23岁的锡克教徒。
警察赶到现场时,凶手甩出了一张“免死金牌”:“他种族歧视我,扯我的头巾!”
于是,荒诞的一幕发生了。
最新公布的执法记录仪画面里,警察对凶手的话深信不疑。
他们无视了满身是血的受害者,直接给濒死的 Henry 戴上了手铐。
“我被刺了。”
“我不能呼吸。”
在死前,这个18岁的男孩向警察绝望地求救了整整9次。
警察的回答是什么?
“我不信你被刺了,伙计。”
就这样,Henry 在警察脚边痛苦地断了气。
庭审证明,凶手的“种族歧视”指控全是撒谎,最终被判终身监禁。
但更恐怖的,是警察当时的下意识反应:
只要听到“种族主义”的指控,常识、人性和警务条例就全部失效。
2020年,现在的英国首相斯塔默(Keir Starmer),曾为了乔治·弗洛伊德当街单膝下跪。
如今看到本国青年的惨状,他只能尴尬地说“感到恶心”。
播客主持人 Konstantin Kisin 把话说透了:
我们不会看到 Henry 的遗言被画成壁画,不会有政客为他默哀,不会有大公司为他换掉 logo。
明尼阿波利斯的黑人说出这四个词,体制让它成为不朽的图腾。
南安普敦的白人男孩说出同样的四个词,体制却报以坚决的沉默。
这种沉默并不中立。
它清楚地告诉你,在当下的西方左派叙事里,究竟谁的命,才算命。
