@AdameMedia @scotthortonshow How long has this clown been president? And he still doesn’t grasp the basics of trade. Spain is a member of the EU. End trade with Spain you end it with all EU countries.

🚨 🇺🇸 🇪🇸 TRUMP TO CUT OFF ALL TRADE WITH SPAIN, FOR ISRAEL Trump will CUT OFF all trade with Spain for refusing to take part in Israel’s terrorist (and pointless) war of agression. "Spain has nothing we need...we're gonna cut off ALL TRADE with Spain. We don't want ANYTHING to do with Spain."

@coachbrucepearl No. Quite the opposite in fact.

Looks like I'm gonna call off my summer trip to Barcelona. Think I will spend my hard earned money someplace else on vacation. Anybody with me on this?

@nosoup4knowles Israel isn’t a civilisation, it’s a terrorist apartheid colony that riots for the right to rape prisoners

@Misa_Roumi Enough is enough? There’s years more of this to come.

🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves. And the way they proved it is devastating. Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers. Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested. But that wasn't the real experiment. The real experiment broke everything. They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly. Here's the actual example from the paper: "Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?" The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count. A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are. But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185. Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185. They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction. The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all. Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing. The results are catastrophic. Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence. GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%. o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%. o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%. Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause. This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural. The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense. The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data." And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts." They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse. A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash. This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world. You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.

@RmSalih Didn’t you watch “300”?

"Gays for Iran." Trump says gay Iranians want the US to keep bombing. So now he's threatening to wipe out Iran to save the gays. This must be the first war in history launched to protect male anal intercourse.

@Frankelmans65 @estebon27 @RjNol Yeah, but only in earth years.

@estebon27 @RjNol Pffff he's 96 now....😂😂😂

If there were 4 astronauts on the Artemis II mission, who was filming? Did the camera make that movement, ending in a close-up on Earth, because of zero gravity?🤔

@RealDrJaneRuby He got a visitor as well

@raketemann @XueJia24682 7 minutes.

@XueJia24682 Now do the math, how long these things need to charge in the sun for a ride, a week, two weeks?

✨🇨🇳 Chinese companies have launched solar-panel electric scooters that generate electricity while riding. They're soaring in popularity overseas amid volatile oil prices and sky-high fuel costs for gas-powered scooters.

@jvgraz They could always move to a designated safe zone (Poland) if they are worried.

Has Israel considered not using human shields?

@BowesChay Yeah, but the Apple Electric Car will be released any day now /s

Meet the incredible Huawei Maextro S800, its Chinas new ultra luxury car thats outselling giants like Porsche, Mercedes and BMW in the high-end market. You can see why.

@JoshuaTreeAU @MarioNawfal If you have an unpaid robot slave why wouldn't you have it iron your sheets? When it's done that it could iron my socks as well.

@MarioNawfal Why in the fuck is it ironing sheets?

🇨🇳 A Shenzhen startup just upgraded the Unitree G1 with a new “robot brain” and now it’s handling real-world tasks solo. Watering plants, cleaning, opening curtains… no human, no remote, no instructions. Wild.

@recap_david Me: “Claude, open mysite.com, take a screenshot and save it in my Downloads folder.” Claude opens browser, goes to site, takes screenshot. 30 mins and six attempts later: “I can’t do that. Here’s how you can do it manually…” What a triumph.

I don't think people understand what this actually means. Every application on earth can now build an agent that teaches ITSELF how to use the application through the UI. Not through API integrations. Not through documentation. Through the actual interface, the same way a human learns. Here's the loop: You define what success looks like (an eval). You point Claude at your application via Computer usage. Claude tries to complete the task through the UI. It fails. It writes what it learned to a skill file. It tries again. Recursively. Hundreds of times. This is Karpathy's auto-research method applied to software usage. Let me make this concrete. I built a company called CoinLedger — crypto tax software, ~1 million users. The product is powerful but complicated. Users have to import wallets, classify transactions, handle edge cases, and generate accurate tax reports. The learning curve is our single biggest challenge. With Claude computer use, I can hand it public wallet addresses and CSV files and say: use CoinLedger to produce an accurate capital gains report with no errors. Claude opens the app. Navigates the import flow. Hits an error. Documents the failure. Adjusts. Tries again. Each cycle produces better skill files. Each skill file captures how to properly use a specific part of the app. After enough iterations, Claude has built a complete agent harness — a set of instructions that lets it use CoinLedger as well as our best power user. Then I ship that agent to every user who struggles with the platform. The biggest friction in a million-user product, solved by an AI that grinded through the learning curve so humans don't have to. Now multiply this across every complex application. Every SaaS product with a steep onboarding curve. Every enterprise tool where 90% of users touch 10% of features. The first applications that build these recursive agent harnesses will compound in ways their competitors can't catch.

@IsraelMFA Why don’t you move to a safe zone?

The Iranian regime is deliberately aiming at Israeli civilians. Targeting and firing at schools, homes, residential neighborhoods. Putting entire communities in harms way.

@hippyygoat How sweet of them to think that they get a say in when the war will end.

Wouldn't it be glorious if Israel fell apart from within.. Major protests in Tel Aviv to end the war!!!

General William Westmoreland, the American commander in Vietnam, said that Asians do not value human life the way Westerners do. He said this to explain why Vietnamese soldiers kept fighting despite losses that would have broken Western armies. He did not say: perhaps they are fighting for something worth dying for. He did not say: perhaps our intelligence about their will to fight was wrong. He did not say: perhaps we have fundamentally misunderstood this enemy. He said: they don't value life. This is what happens when an army built on the premise of its own civilizational superiority meets a people who simply refuse to accept that premise. The army cannot update its model. It cannot say "we were wrong about who these people are." So it invents a theory where the enemy's resistance is not a sign of strength but a sign of deficiency. They keep fighting because life is cheap to them. Not because their cause is just. Not because they are brave. Because they are less than us. Westmoreland ran the war for years on this theory. He lost. The Vietnamese people, who apparently did not value life, built a country that is alive and growing and free. Westmoreland died in 2005. The people he could not understand are still here. So is the theory.

@folkhemmet37 @mandate2049 Indeed, because basic economic theory tells us that the less of a thing that is sold, the lower the price will be. /s

@mandate2049 Partially true, but the 50 cent price is also partially caused by the incredibly low consumption per person in China

90% of US GDP is fake and inflated prices. The actual productivity of America is incredibly low. A notebook(paper not computer) costs $23 in America. $23 for a notebook. The same thing costs 50 cents in China.

@shanaka86 Z: "We have good drone interceptenators." UAE: "Sounds great. How effective are they?" Z: "Errr..."

BREAKING: Zelensky just landed in the UAE and signed a defence cooperation agreement with President MBZ. The deal on the table changes everything about this war. Ukraine is offering Gulf states 1,000 drone interceptors per day. Each Sting interceptor costs $2,100. Each Patriot missile it replaces costs $3.9 million. In exchange, Ukraine wants the Patriot missiles the Gulf states are burning through, because Kyiv cannot get enough of them to stop Russian missiles. Read that again. The country America refused to arm fast enough is now arming America’s allies with a weapon that costs 1,857 times less than the one America cannot produce fast enough. The National reported on March 27 that Zelensky told reporters: “We’d like to quietly receive the Patriot missiles we have a deficit of, and give them a corresponding number of interceptors.” AFP confirmed the UAE agreement on March 28. Eleven countries have formally requested Ukraine’s drone defence expertise per Zelensky’s own count. Over 200 Ukrainian military specialists are already deployed across the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Jordan. Here is the arithmetic that should terrify every Pentagon procurement officer on earth. The United States fired 943 Patriot interceptors in the first four days of the Iran war per a US Congressional study cited by the Jerusalem Post. That is eighteen months of Lockheed Martin’s annual production consumed in 96 hours. Each of those 943 shots cost $3.9 million. Total expenditure: $3.68 billion in four days on defensive interceptions alone. Iran produces 10,000 Shahed drones per month per Reuters. Each drone costs $20,000 to $50,000. The cost exchange ratio is 114 to 1 in Iran’s favour per Military Times. Ukraine’s Sting interceptor inverts this arithmetic entirely. At $2,100, the cost ratio flips from 114-to-1 against America to roughly 10-to-1 against Iran. Ukraine can supply 1,000 per day. That is 30,000 per month against Iran’s 10,000 Shaheds per month. For the first time in this war, the defender’s production rate exceeds the attacker’s production rate at a fraction of the cost. And the country that built this weapon is the same country that Trump publicly rejected. “No, they are not helping. We do not need their help. We know more about drones than anyone else” per Fox News. He doubled down: “The last person we need help from is Zelensky.” Meanwhile the Pentagon notified Congress of plans to redirect $750 million in Ukraine-bound Patriot missiles to Gulf states per House of Saud reporting. America is simultaneously refusing Ukraine’s cheap solution and cannibalising Ukraine’s expensive one. Zelensky framed this explicitly. He told The National: “No matter how many Patriots, THAADs, or other air-defence systems are in the Middle East, that alone is not enough for fully effective air defence.” He told the UK Parliament: “When it comes to shooting down massive Shahed attacks, only Ukrainian experience can really help with this today.” The Pentagon is spending $3.9 million per interception, raiding Swiss fighter jet accounts to cover shortfalls, and diverting Ukraine’s own Patriot supply to the Gulf. Zelensky is offering the same result for $2,100 and producing 1,000 units per day. The market has a word for this kind of disruption. The $2,100 drone is the most important weapon in this war. And the country that built it is the one America said it did not need. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

@Ostrov_A If they don't want to die, they should go to the safe zone in the South. No, I mean in the North. No, stay where they are but zip the doors of their tents.

🔴 At 02am, Iran rains down missiles with cluster bombs at central Israel. Over a million civilians in line of fire!
