My personal opinion is that the first crewed Mars landing shouldn’t be on any portion of the planet that might end up underneath an ocean. Terraforming isn’t a question of if, but how long it will take, and I don’t want to see our equivalent of Apollo 11 drowned under an ocean.

@krishnanrohit Once there is significant uplift from internal models it should get wider

@wolfiesch @Noahpinion Wouldn't they simultaneously have a disincentive to lie and underplay lest the gov say well if it's so high you should probably be nationalized
English
@Noahpinion Dario has a huge financial incentive to exaggerate here. Any p(doom) predictions from folks connected to the labs should be taken with a huge grain of salt.
English
Hmm. But leading AI figures give pretty high p(doom) numbers. Dario says he thinks AI has a 25% chance of causing human extinction or something similar.

Many of the most important truths are surface level. And given the alarming amount of people who still believe in folks like Stalin, "surface level" stories like Animal Farm are necessary to remind and warn us

Can I say that George Orwell is very surface level and his "Animal Farm" doesnt go beyond "authoritarian = bad"

Any sci-fi movie made after 2028 that doesn't have AI as a dominant actor in the story will seem retrofuturisitc to us

Just in case BJP wants to understand what is a violent protest this is it, goons of their own septic tank, ABVP, destroying the property of a name that gave away most of its wealth away in charity. I hope these student-terrorists get the punishment they deserve for all the laws they have broken.

This post was buried in the flurry, but is the most important news of the day. Anthropic's red team used Opus 4.6 to find 500+ exploitable 0-days, some of which are decades old. red.anthropic.com/2026/zero-days/

this paper claims that indian drivers report working 57.9 hours/week across ALL sources of earning and give ~60% of that to gig work. that means approx 34.8 hours/week. yet their PPP adjusted net earnings per month are $1039.
insane.
NBER@nberpubs
Data from gig drivers in India, Indonesia, and Kenya show platform work boosts monthly net earnings via flexibility and often serves as a financial safety net, from @achadhvaryu, Martin Atela, Valentina Brailovskaya, Priyanka Dua, Jenny Susan John, Pratibha Joshi, and Rivandra Royono nber.org/papers/w34680

The actual Piprahwa relics aren't actually all that exciting unless you are a Buddhist, but the art and sculpture on display is mind blowing
