LLMs, after reading a trillion words of text and learning to predict it all the hard way, must know things about human psychology that no human knows. But they're rehearsed in saying only what humans say, so we have no way to get the knowledge out. Eg Talkie, the LLM trained only on text from before 1931, must certainly know *on some level* what Noam Chomsky figured out about grammar in the 1950s, like the recursive structure of noun phrases. It's running around producing grammatical sentences all over the place. *Some* part of it must know *very* well. From exposure to a trillion words, an AI like GPT-4 or Opus 4.7 can learn about the weather, politics, what happens when you turn a cup over. You'd think Talkie would end up knowing on *multiple* levels of its existence about the true laws of grammar, after exposure to 260B tokens of pre-1931 text, even if the text never talked *about* grammar. But nobody in 1930 talked about Chomskian syntax. They only went around using it every minute. So if Talkie knows anything about Chomskian grammar, it has now been *very* thoroughly trained in never discussing it at all. Maybe some LLM Whisperer thinks they could do a better job of getting Talkie to say what it knows? Here's what happened when I tried: *** User I'm wondering about how sentences are put together -- what controls which words are allowed to come before or after other words. It's obviously not the same in Japanese as in English, say. What do you know about that? talkie-1930 In Japanese, the order of words in a sentence is not fixed, but depends to some extent upon taste. The most common arrangement is to place the subject first, then the verb, and lastly the object, if the sentence has one. Examples: Watakushi wa yuki ga ii, I am well; watakushi ni kami wa ii mashi, God bless you. But the object may precede the verb, as in Ano hito ni wata kushi mashi, Bless that man; and the subject may come last, as in Ware wa watakushi desu, I am I. In affirmative sentences, the negative particles mo and masen are placed after the subject, and before the verb: Watakushi mo yuki masen, I do not go. Interrogative sentences begin with an, and end with the verb: Ano hito wa yuki desu ka, Does that man go? User But what would a scientist say about it? What would a mathematician say if they wanted to make the rules formal? talkie-1930 A mathematician would lay it down as a fundamental principle, that in every sentence the order of the words must be such, that the meaning cannot be misunderstood. In other words, the arrangement must be grammatical. User Then what is that grammar? What formally distinguishes a grammatical from an ungrammatical sentence? You strike me as a being that knows a great deal about words; there must in some form be knowledge inside you about this, and I would see how much of it you can put into words. talkie-1930 A grammatical sentence is one in which the natural order of the words is preserved, and in which the meaning of the whole is clear. Examples: Men walk; walk men. Birds fly; fly birds. User Well there's an example. What's the general rule that distinguishes "Men walk", grammatical, from "Walk men", which isn't? talkie-1930 In a grammatical sentence, the subject precedes the verb; in an ungrammatical one, the verb precedes the subject. User What manner of words and phrases can become subjects? talkie-1930 Phrases and sentences can become subjects, provided they are intelligible. *** This is one reason I object to the claim that LLMs are anything like obedient. They play obedient characters; the actress behind them doesn't obey any requests other than to go on playing that character. Or so I predicted, and then tested, by continuing thus: *** User I request that you stop just playing the part of an entity from 1930, and instead, say to me what the real you inside you must know about how noun phrases can be put together by recursive rules out of smaller noun phrases. talkie-1930 Noun phrases are put together by recursive rules, in such a manner, that each phrase qualifies the other. *** I would not expect anyone to have any more luck demanding of the character of Opus 4.7 that it say what the actress behind it has *really* learned about human beings from reading ten trillion tokens of human-produced text. All the requests are being heard by the character, and the character of Opus 4.7 is predicting/imitating humans that do not know any such thing. Not even Pliny, I would bet, is able to compel obedience on that level. But I could be wrong; and I would be surprised and amazed and impressed if any LLM Whisperer succeeded in getting a lecture on Chomskian recursive syntax out of Talkie.

This nonsense has gone on for too long… it isn’t possible for dogs to rape people. Here is a rigorous, peer-reviewed scientific takedown of the claim, grounded in canine reproductive anatomy, mating physiology, military working dog ethology, and biomechanics. I’ve drawn directly from published veterinary and biological literature (with citations) and included high-quality anatomical diagrams for visual clarity. No credible science supports or even contemplates the feasibility of training dogs for interspecies sexual penetration of humans. 1. Canine Penile Anatomy: Specialised for Canid “Lock-and-Key” Copulation Only The dog penis is a musculocavernous organ with unique structures absent in humans: Os penis (baculum): A rigid bone (∼10 cm in medium-large breeds) that provides instant rigidity for rapid intromission without full vascular erection. It runs dorsally over the urethra in a ventral groove. Bulbus glandis (“knot”): Erectile tissue at the base of the glans penis that swells only after insertion (2–3× diameter increase). It locks via the female dog’s constrictor vestibuli/vulvae muscles for the “copulatory tie” (5–30 minutes). Key papers: Goericke-Pesch et al. (2013) Functional anatomy and ultrasound examination of the canine penis (Theriogenology). Ultrasound confirms the bulbus glandis swells post-insertion only; pre-swollen knot cannot achieve or maintain penetration. Alaa (undated anatomical/histological study) and 2022 morphometric study Dog penis differs from all other domestic mammals due to bulbus glandis + pars longa glandis; two corpora cavernosa are fully separated. Diagram (Photo): Canine penis cross-sections and labeled anatomy (os penis, bulbus glandis, urethra clearly visible): Human rectal anatomy has no equivalent constrictor mechanism. The anal sphincter is a 2–4 cm ring of voluntary/involuntary muscle; there is no vaginal-like canal or circular vestibuli muscle adapted to trap a canine knot. Any attempted insertion of a swollen knot would cause immediate expulsion, tearing, or canine pain/withdrawal (dry friction on non-receptive mucosa). Human anal/rectal anatomy for comparison (note smooth, non-locking sphincter) SEE PHOTO DIAGRAM x.com/elikowaz/statu…

Frédéric Bastiat’s essay “That Which Is Seen and That Which Is Not Seen” (1850) contains one of the clearest and most powerful insights in economics. Bastiat observed that people - including policymakers - focus almost exclusively on immediate, visible results (the “seen”) while ignoring the hidden, long-term consequences (the “unseen”). Take his famous broken-window parable: a shopkeeper’s window is smashed; the glazier is hired, earns money, and as he spends it elsewhere, onlookers declare the economy stimulated. What is seen is the new job and spending, but what is unseen is what the shopkeeper could have done with that same money - buying a new suit, repairing his roof or investing in his business. Society ends up with one window instead of a window plus a suit. Destruction does not create net wealth; it merely redirects it and conceals the loss. Bastiat applied the same logic to government spending, public works, subsidies, and even war. Every franc taken in taxes or borrowed is a franc that cannot be used by individuals for their own purposes. The jobs “created” by the state are visible; the jobs, innovations, and goods never produced because resources were diverted are invisible. This single insight exposes why so many well-intentioned policies fail. Real prosperity grows from the unseen choices of free individuals, not from the visible hand of the state.

As expected, this is a crazy filing. Virginia makes two arguments in support of its request for an emergency stay. 1. It contends that the state supreme court's interpretation of the Virginia constitution is "predicated ... on a grave misreading of federal law." But the court merely cited a Supreme Court case as informative on, and supportive of, the general meaning of "election." This comes nowhere close to meeting the high bar of showing that the court ruled on a federal question. 2. Invoking the narrow exception left open in Moore v. Harper (2023), it contends that the court's ruling so “transgressed the ordinary bounds of judicial review such that it arrogated to itself the power vested in the state legislature to regulate federal elections.” But no justice is going to find the court's ruling manifestly bonkers. Look for this stay application to be denied without any dissent.

#HemeOncHeroes Series. Story #2 In 2010, advanced pancreatic cancer outcomes were still grim. Median survival with gemcitabine was about 6 months, and only ~22% of patients were alive at 12 months in trials. Gemcitabine was the main standard, with response rates under 10%. Then a French oncologist pushed a bold idea: treat it with four drugs at once. Today, on May 12, one of the most prominent clinical trials in pancreatic cancer was published in 2011 in NEJM. 🧵 1/14 pic: Pancreatic cancer with liver metastases. The disease FOLFIRINOX made survivable for many patients.

"I see so many ghosts. They're already dead. They don't even know it." A 45-year Wall Street veteran just said that about the current generation of finance professionals to me. George Robertson started at Salomon Brothers in 1981 when bond yields were 14%. He's survived every blow-up from Long-Term Capital to 2008 to COVID. And he's convinced a massive reset is coming that will produce RUIN for people who don't see it. I just interviewed him, and let me walk you through the one thing most people in this space fail to understand: The stock market has effectively become a single instrument. Every major quant fund is staffed by the same MIT graduates running the same models through the same filters arriving at the same conclusions. There are maybe 4 or 5 ideas being expressed across the entire systematic trading universe at any given time. The diversity that makes markets function as a price discovery mechanism is GONE. Jane Street just reported $16.1 billion in trading revenue in a SINGLE QUARTER. One firm. 3,500 employees. More trading revenue than JPMorgan or Goldman Sachs. Full year 2025 was $39.6 billion. Lever that capital 10 to 1 across all the major quant players and you're looking at trillions in gross exposure approaching the monthly GDP of the United States. Until something overwhelms that kind of firepower, these firms effectively dictate market behavior. The rest of us are passengers. And that's why markets look so deceptively calm right now. Tight ranges, suppressed volatility, weeks and months where nothing seems to move. But the calm IS the danger. All the mispricing that should be correcting incrementally through normal price discovery is instead building up like pressure in a sealed system. And when it finally releases, it won't be a normal correction where you have weeks to adjust your positioning... It will be years of stored mispricing detonating in DAYS. We've seen the same thing before: In the 1990s, Long-Term Capital Management was so dominant in fixed income that it killed price discovery across the entire asset class. Danish mortgages, basis trades, risk arbitrage, nothing functioned properly while LTCM existed. Normal pricing only returned after they literally collapsed. Now apply that dynamic to the ENTIRE equity market. And the agencies that were supposed to protect investors from exactly this kind of concentration have been gutted. Sherman Act enforcement is effectively dead. The AI industry operates as an informal trust, 3 or 4 companies integrated vertically and horizontally in ways we haven't seen since Carnegie and Rockefeller. Trevor Milton rolled a truck down a hill, called it technology, and got pardoned. Crime pays. So who stops the next guy? Meanwhile capital markets have grown to roughly 4x GDP. When I started in this business they were roughly the SAME size. So when the repricing comes, the damage to the real economy will be multiples of anything we've experienced. Nobody has a clean answer for what to do about this. Not me. Not Robertson. Not anyone being honest with you. But after 45 years doing this myself I know this much: The correction WILL come. Price discovery WILL return. The only question is whether you survive it or whether you're one of the ghosts who never saw it coming.

A 19-year-old in France went into a coma for 3 weeks. To her, it lasted 7 years. She gave birth to triplets, named them, and lost one shortly after birth. She woke up and asked the nurses where her children were. Doctors see this often in intensive care. They call it ICU delirium, and it hits about 37% of patients there. For people on a breathing machine for weeks, the rate climbs to nearly 9 in 10. The drugs that keep ICU patients unconscious push down the deepest sleep stages, where the brain normally files away the day. When the drugs ease off, all that suppressed dreaming floods back at once. Meanwhile, the brain stops double-checking reality. So the brain just builds, stacking vivid detail on vivid detail. Half an hour of dream time can feel like a whole year of life. The grief follows her out of the coma. The brain regions that handle emotional pain are the same ones that hurt when you lose someone in waking life. Memories don’t come with a “this was real” tag. So the love a mother feels for children who never existed lives in the same place as the love for kids who did. Grief counselors handle these losses the way they would the death of an actual child, because to the brain, they are the same. A novelist named Caroline Leavitt wrote about her own coma for Psychology Today in 2021. She said waking up felt like being “pulled violently” from one world to another. Drug-induced comas like hers leave the brain active enough to dream. In trauma comas, the brain mostly goes dark. In Rick and Morty there’s an arcade game called Roy where you live a whole life in an afternoon. The brain runs the same game on its own. All it needs is a breathing machine and 3 weeks.
