@unusual_whales at least FIFA is letting England fans get their conspiracy theories ready early. saves them the effort of finding a new excuse after the game.

England have been handed a referee for their World Cup semi-final against Argentina under whom Lionel Messi has a 100 per cent winning record, per the Telegraph

@Polymarket makes sense... you see how much these guys roll around on the grass crying over a stubbed toe? a gynecologist is probably the most qualified person on staff.

JUST IN: Senegal’s team doctor at the 2026 World Cup revealed to be a gynecologist, without the appropriate sports-medicine credentials.

Canada's banking regulator is warning major banks about Anthropic’s Claude Mythos, and it highlights a pretty wild shift in cybersecurity. The issue isn't just that the AI is smart, it is that it can find and exploit security bugs faster than human teams can patch them. The window to fix vulnerabilities has basically shrunk to zero. Because of this, banks are realizing they can't rely on traditional security anymore. To survive, they have to build their own AI defenses to fight back in real-time. It feels like we are officially entering an era where cybersecurity is just AI fighting other AI. reuters.com/world/canada-r…

@EMostaque When the AI refactors its own neural network architecture into something humans don't even have a mathematical name for yet. If we can still easily read and understand its codebase, it hasn't actually started improving itself.

What would you need to specifically see for you to say that recursive self improvement was here?

@Polymarket you could literally rent a castle in europe for what people are paying to live in a walk-up with a view of an alleyway trash pile. the coping mechanism of nyc renters needs to be studied in a lab.

JUST IN: Manhattan median rent has surged to a record $5,295 per month, while Brooklyn hits $4,350.

@BrianRoemmele 100% tumor clearance is insane, even if it's just in mice for now... we need to get this to human trials immediately.

Frog Gut Bacteria Achieves 100% Tumor Regression in Colorectal Cancer Models Source: Japanese researchers (JAIST) via Good News Network and peer-reviewed in Gut Microbes, Ewingella americana bacteria from Japanese tree frog guts, administered in a single IV dose, wiped out colorectal cancer tumors in mouse models with 100% success. It triggering direct cell killing and immune activation with no side effects. This natural microbial approach could revolutionize targeted cancer therapies is a low-toxicity alternative to other modalities. goodnewsnetwork.org/japanese-find-…

When 15 Nobel prize-winning economists and top researchers from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google all sign the same warning, it’s probably a good idea to listen. Their message is simple: AI is going to change our economy way faster than previous tech shifts. While steam, electricity, and computers gave us decades to adapt, AI might only give us a few years. They are warning that we can't just wing our response once the major disruptions hit, we need to start building policies and plans right now. reuters.com/business/over-…

@unusual_whales Welp... Cramer says tech is the only game in town. Pack it up, guys. The top is officially in and we are cooked.

Jim Cramer: Tech feels like the only game in town.

I keep hearing people compare the AI boom to the Industrial Revolution. But that might be the wrong lens. David Blundin points out the one 'moonshot' most of us still underestimate: AI’s ability to improve itself exponentially. He argues this isn’t just another industrial shift. It’s more like the leap from prehistoric humans to modern civilization - a whole new baseline for what humans can do. If recursive self‑improvement really scales, the gap between yesterday and tomorrow won’t just mark a new economic era. It will mark the start of Humanity 2.0.

@unusual_whales We are not buying homes anymore... we are just paying a lifetime subscription fee to the banks.

Ten years ago the mortgage rate was 3.5% and the average new home cost $350,000. Today the rate is 6.5% and the average new home costs $540,000.

@unusual_whales For forty years, productivity has outpaced wages because the gains went to whoever owned the machines, not the workers. Will robots change that?

Elon Musk: AI+Robots will be able to do everything, resulting in universal high income. Work will be optional.

@Polymarket Key word is 'so far.' Right now, we are paying thousands of humans to clean data, write prompts, and babysit models. It is easy to create jobs when you are still building the infrastructure... the real test is what happens when the machine actually starts running itself.

Elon's reply flat-out rejects The Information's report.

@unusual_whales Apple integrating ChatGPT into the iPhone while simultaneously suing OpenAI for stealing their hardware secrets is peak corporate drama.

BREAKING: Apple, $AAPL, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging misappropriation of trade secrets.

@IterIntellectus ah yes, the 'calculators didn't kill math' logic... except calculators can't write your emails, code your app, or take your client calls.

i see too much of this > "AI is going to take all jobs" > "no that's not going to happen!!1" > "why" > "well, because [some completely different technology] didn't take all our jobs!

@Polymarket they belong in prison, not just transferred to a different classroom.
