In New York's picturesque Adirondacks, forest is being cleared for solar panels. Land the public was promised was "forever wild" is now being sold off to industrial renewable projects. Thousands of trees removed. Acres upon acres of habitat destroyed. Landscapes scarred. All to install glass, steel, fencing and access roads. The permits come from the state bureaucracy. The subsidies come from taxpayers. The profits go to developers. Destroying nature in the name of saving it is not environmentalism, it is quite the opposite. But money talks.

Apple has published a paper with a devastating title: “The Illusion of Thinking” It argues that AI models, no matter how brilliant they may seem, do not understand what they are doing. They do not solve problems. They do not reason. They merely generate text word by word, trying to sound coherent. Apple tested the most advanced reasoning models in the world on controlled puzzle environments. They tore open the internal "thinking" traces. What they found shatters the narrative that we are getting closer to AGI. Current models don't scale with complexity. They have a hard mathematical cliff. And they do not degrade gracefully. They collapse. But here is the most unsettling part. When a problem gets too complex, the AI doesn't use its remaining compute to try harder. It just gives up. Its reasoning effort actually declines. It stops thinking and starts guessing. Then Apple ran the experiment that closes the casket on the reasoning debate. They gave the AI the exact, step-by-step algorithm to solve the puzzle. The cheat codes. All the AI had to do was follow the instructions. It couldn't do it. Performance didn't improve at all. When the complexity gets high enough, these models fail because they cannot actually execute a logical sequence. They are not reasoning. They are just pattern matching. When you give them a simple problem, they overthink. When you give them a hard problem, they collapse. Paper: The Illusion of Thinking, Apple, 2025

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. The employers of the illegal alien semi-truck driver who killed 4 Amish men in Indiana are FRAUDULENT, the Trump admin is now investigating They swap DOT numbers to avoid enforcement! Teams are ACTIVELY gathering evidence at AJ Partners, Sam Express Inc. and others This is freaking insane. "These interconnected carriers have all the markings of FRAUD and are accused of being CHAMELEON CARRIERS. This is when companies swap names and DOT numbers to avoid enforcement." "Our team is also on the ground investigating the driver entry training school — Aydana Inc./ U.S. CDL — that helped this UNVETTED, UNQUALIFIED driver get behind the wheel in the first place." "If this is in fact a sham school, any other licenses they supported will be called into question!" "The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is working AROUND THE CLOCK to hold anyone involved in this horrific crime accountable." — Sec. Duffy

While Donald Trump is indicting Cuban communist dictator Raúl Castro, Barack Obama was attending baseball games with him in Havana.

Here’s a clip of me Roasting Frisco City Council. These corrupted officials have sold out their city to Fortune 100 Companies that are bringing in Foreigners for Jobs while they LAYOFF Americans.

Every time. 😆
