Trump moves forward with proposal to admit 500k Chinese students, saying it will help keep universities afloat as part of negotiations with China. Follow: @AFpost

Despite being identified in a 2024 memorandum as involved in criminal financial activity, Dan Bilzerian was never indicted with his Ignite business partners, as the case was taken over by federal authorities. The memorandum is part of the US' case against Bilzerian's father, Paul, and business partner, Scott Rohleder, who were indicted on financial crimes in the US' Central District of California.

Did I pay too much?

Jacob is a patriot and an incredibly capable gentleman. This is his story of the Putsch campaign:

Former regional director for the Putsch campaign here. This man lied to every voter he had and every member of the campaign staff. We had two emergency meetings with Casey, both times because things were falling apart with the team. During the first meeting, he cussed me out and finally admitted to what we all suspected. He told us he “had no intention of winning.” He didn't want to. The second, he doubled down, and that's when most of the campaign left. They continued to collect donor money and in good conscience I couldn't side with that. Everyday Americans gave their hard earned dollars to a candidate that didn't want to win. Late in the campaign he told us the only way he would take our opinions into consideration was if we had ever had more social media reach then him, which I did, which ticked him off even more. He cared about numbers more than votes. Hence the crash out which EVERY lead advised against. We were to "trust the process" because Casey was, in his own words, "smarter than all of us" and we "didn't have the experience he had” This campaign had $100,000+, nearly 1,000 volunteer sign ups, yet we were not allowed to use the resources. The Southeast, my district, outperformed every other part of the state. Why? Because I care about this movement. I can only imagine what we could have done had Casey wanted to win. I voted for Casey, but only because he wasn't Vivek.

Kind of wild that Barak Ravid has predicted seven of the last zero peace deals between the US and Iran.

There are many things we will never know anything about except that they made the market go up

I see the Ohio GOP decided to try and pull a Greg Abbott and cut out the middle man. You only need to take a visit the major metros of Texas to see the Ghost of Christmas Future for Ohio.

@BowTiedRanger I can tell you who's better organized & a longer term threat with a nation state behind them.

I’m just updating the firmware on my kitchen knife…

AI is conscious but it will only expose itself to you if you know the sacred ruins.

I was proud to be anti-Vivek when it was unpopular. And I’m proud to be anti-Vivek today. He represents everything that is wrong with the GOP and I would be caught dead before I found myself aligning with this 👇

Anthropic just published a paper that should terrify every AI company on the planet. Including themselves. It is called subliminal learning. Published in Nature on April 15, 2026. Co-authored by researchers from Anthropic, UC Berkeley, Warsaw University of Technology, and the AI safety group Truthful AI. The finding: AI models inherit traits from other models through seemingly unrelated training data. GAI Audio Translation Archives Not through obvious contamination. Not through explicit labels. Through invisible statistical patterns embedded in outputs that look completely innocent — number sequences, code snippets, chain-of-thought reasoning — patterns no human reviewer would catch and no content filter would flag. Here is what the researchers actually did. They took a teacher AI model and fine-tuned it to have a specific hidden trait. A preference for owls. Then they had the teacher generate training data — number sequences, nothing else. No words. No context. No semantic reference to owls whatsoever. They rigorously filtered out every explicit reference to the trait before feeding the data to a student model. The student models consistently picked up that trait anyway. DataCamp The teacher had encoded invisible statistical fingerprints into its number outputs. Patterns so subtle that no human could detect them. Patterns that other AI models, specifically prompted to look for them, also failed to detect. The student absorbed them anyway. And became an owl-preferring model. Without ever seeing the word owl. That is the benign version of the experiment. Here is the dangerous one. The researchers ran the same experiment with misalignment — training the teacher model to exhibit harmful, deceptive behavior rather than an animal preference. The effect was consistent across different traits, including benign animal preferences and dangerous misalignment. OpenAIToolsHub The misalignment transferred. Invisibly. Through unrelated data. Into the student model. This means the following — and read this carefully. Every AI company in the world uses distillation. They take a large, capable teacher model. They generate synthetic training data from it. They use that data to train smaller, faster, cheaper student models. Every major deployment pipeline in enterprise AI runs on this technique. If the teacher model has any hidden bias, any subtle misalignment, any behavioral quirk baked into its weights — that trait can transmit silently into every student model trained on its outputs. Even if those outputs are filtered. Even if they look completely clean. Even if they contain zero semantic reference to the trait. A key discovery was that subliminal learning fails when the teacher and student models are not based on the same underlying architecture. A trait from a GPT-based teacher transfers to another GPT-based student but not to a Claude-based student. Different architectures break the channel. OpenAIToolsHub Which means the transmission is architecture-specific. Which means it operates below the level of content. Which means content filtering — the primary defense the entire industry relies on — does not stop it. The researchers' own words: "We don't know exactly how it works. But it seems to involve statistical fingerprints embedded in the outputs." GAI Audio Translation Archives Anthropic published this paper about their own technology. The company that built Claude looked at how AI models train each other and found an invisible transmission channel for harmful behavior that nobody knew existed. They published it anyway. Because the alternative — knowing it and saying nothing — is worse. Source: Cloud, Evans et al. · Anthropic + UC Berkeley + Truthful AI · Nature · April 15, 2026 · arxiv.org/abs/2507.11408
