Agent Smith tells Neo that the machines chose 1999 as the setting for the Matrix because it was considered the peak of human civilization…now I wonder if the machines were right…

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks. Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models. This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.

Big news: Kimi-K3 by @Kimi_Moonshot is now #1 in the Frontend Code Arena with 1679 pts, surpassing Claude Fable 5. This is a 17-place jump from Kimi-k2.6 (#18 -> #1). In Frontend, Kimi-K3 ranked #1 in 6 of 7 domains: Brand & Marketing, Reference-Based Design, Data & Analytics, Consumer Product, Simulations, and Content Creation Tools, landing #2 only in Gaming behind Fable 5. The full model weights will be released by July 27. Congrats to the @Kimi_Moonshot team on this major milestone!

President Trump announced that his administration is declassifying intelligence that reveals "shocking vulnerabilities in our election infrastructure," including "hacking, exploitation and foreign interference." FACT CHECK RATING: False. Officials have repeatedly said election infrastructure remains secure. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said there was “no evidence of any malicious activity” affecting the integrity of the 2024 elections. CISA also said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history,” with no evidence that voting systems deleted, lost or compromised votes.

I'm offering Jennifer Welch and Angie Sullivan of the I've Had It Podcast an opportunity to prove themselves right. They said that homeschooling is for "dumb people" who, for some reason, want to be around their kids. So, LET’S PUT IT TO THE TEST. If homeschoolers are taught by a bunch of weird, dumb parents, it should be EASY for you to outsmart them. I challenge you to debate a 15-year-old homeschooled kid from my audience. I'll host it live on my show. It should be an easy win, right?

Hello again. We’re currently in Clemson, South Carolina. I’ve decided to come back here to document the final part of our road trip. The main reason I deactivated my account two weeks ago was that things became increasingly toxic. For some people, it’s unfortunately unfathomable that a good story can exist without some kind of hidden agenda behind it. There was even a Reddit group going through my entire account trying to find anything they could use to reveal my identity. I know this was only a small percentage of people, but after a while it became exhausting. During the last two weeks, I received so many kind messages on Instagram, and they really made me realize how many people genuinely enjoyed following the trip. Some people even told me that their grandparents regularly ask them, “What are the Germans up to today?” I think that’s really cool. I decided to continue because I realized that the overwhelming majority of people loved following along. A small group of very loud people shouldn’t be able to ruin something that brought so many others joy. I also want to clear something up, as people who follow me on Instagram already know. I’ve been to the United States before. This is not my first visit, and I’ve never claimed that it was. The last time I was here was in January 2022, when I visited New York and Philadelphia. A lot of people shared my Raising Cane’s post from November 2025 to make it look like I was secretly American. That post wasn’t from the United States, it was from my trip to Saudi Arabia. This is my first time back in the U.S. in more than four years, and apart from Boston, I’d never visited any of the places we’ve been to on this trip before. That’s probably why many people assumed it was our first time in America, because for all of these places, it actually was. And let me tell you, Ohio and Alabama are very different from New York City or Los Angeles. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Thanks for reading.

40 out of 86 Brown students scored a perfect 100 on their midterm. Then the professor moved the final in person, and 22 of those perfect scorers never showed up again. He'd suspected AI cheating from the start. The take-home midterm was deliberately harder than usual, yet the class averaged 96 when the historical range is 65 to 80. Some answers contained odd phrasing that matched what ChatGPT produced when he ran the questions through it himself. Roberto Serrano has taught economics at Brown for 34 years. He filed no accusations. He announced the final would be in person, count for half the grade, and that if the two distributions didn't match, the final alone would determine grades. Then the exodus. 27 students never showed up. 22 of them had perfect midterms. Of the 59 who did show, 19 failed. Several signed the exam and turned it in blank. The average fell from 96 to 48, the lowest in the course's history. He never needed a plagiarism detector. The cheaters identified themselves by walking away. A grade distribution became a confession. Here's the part nobody's sitting with. Serrano proved it. He sent the distributions to Brown's dean and provost. The provost never responded. The academic committee's reply amounted to calling it "a wake-up call." The students who bailed before the final walked away clean. Every university in America is now grading two populations, students and students plus ChatGPT, on one curve. The honest kids in Serrano's class watched a 96 average get set by machines, then sat a real final against it. The cheaters lost nothing. That's the incentive structure now, and it grades itself.

NEW: Ivy League professor suspected AI cheating, ordered an in-person final, & saw average scores plunge from 96 to 48.

Never heard about this lunacy, guess the media skipped this story. Armed agents sent after mechanics?

🚨 President Trump Pardons The Diesel Mechanics Biden’s EPA Went After President Trump handed out a round of pardons on the Fourth of July that lands right at the kitchen table for truckers, farmers, and small-shop mechanics. He overturned the convictions of nine people whom the federal government prosecuted under the Clean Air Act for tampering with diesel emissions-control systems. Most of them were diesel mechanics and tuners. The cases centered on diesel emissions modifications the Biden Justice Department treated as Clean Air Act crimes. One of the men Trump pardoned is a Wasilla, Alaska mechanic and Air National Guard veteran named MacKenzie “Mac” Spurlock. View the X post: x.com/YourAlaskaLink… Fox News reported that Trump announced six of the pardons on Truth Social and described the men as people prosecuted for repairing vehicles under the previous administration. Eight of the recipients were diesel mechanics or car tuners accused of selling or installing so-called defeat devices in trucks. Fox explained why this became more than an abstract regulatory fight. The devices at issue reprogram trucks to bypass federally required emissions controls and suppress diagnostic warnings, while emissions-system failures can also force diesel trucks into limp mode even when the engine itself is still running. On a highway, a farm, or a remote job site, that turns a mechanical fault into a roadside hazard. The Spurlock case shows why these prosecutions rubbed so many people the wrong way. Sen. Dan Sullivan welcomed the full presidential pardon for Spurlock, calling him a Wasilla diesel mechanic, small business owner, and Alaska Air National Guard veteran. Sullivan said the Biden EPA raided Matanuska Diesel in June 2022 with dozens of armed agents plus personnel from other federal agencies flown in from California, Washington, and Oregon. Dozens of armed agents. For emissions modifications on diesel trucks, in a case involving a small business owner who wanted to return to the Alaska Air National Guard. Sullivan pointed to the cold-weather reality that Washington regulators rarely confront. Emissions systems can trigger shutdowns when a fault is detected, and cold weather can make DEF-related components struggle to reach or hold operating temperature. The technical piece here matters to anyone who actually drives a diesel for a living. Fox noted that limp mode can cut a truck’s speed to as little as 5 mph until the system is restored.
