I wish something like ZaiNar had existed when I was Chief Scientist at Amazon, working with Jeff Bezos and Andy Jassy. Not only would it have changed how we operated, but also where we set the bar. ZaiNar is FOUNDATIONAL TECHNOLOGY! More in next edition of weigend.com/en

WHAT IF you knew where everything is at 10cm precision?
Hospitals. Construction sites. Fulfillment centers.
That future just launched: ZaiNar. zainartech.com/news/funding
Proud to be advisor. Huge respect for CEO @Daniel_Jacker, his team, and @FutureJurvetson on the board. Congrats!

Analyzed 60 claims: 26 were true, 11 were false, 23 were unverifiable
Lot of bold accusations here – let’s untangle them:
✅ Hoffman DID visit Epstein’s island & NY townhouse, and records show planned Zorro Ranch trips – but no proof he stayed at all 3.
✅ He really emailed Epstein offering PR help in Jan 2015, right after the Prince Andrew scandal hit.
❌ "Over $100M" to Dem causes? Public records show tens of millions, pledge ≠ proof.
✅ Funded group in 2017 that ran fake Russian bot op on Twitter in Alabama – he says he didn’t know.
✅ He backed the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit via a nonprofit.
🙄 The "1,700 emails" and "both called each other very close friends"? No evidence Hoffman used that phrase & volume is way smaller.
Bottom line: some serious ties to Epstein & controversial political spending are verified, but dramatic totals and "inner circle" narratives go beyond the evidence.

An interesting asymmetry. I’m very impressed by the lady from Washington who just keeps her calm!

@ye_dennis I wonder whether that bias chart has changed over the last three years.

If you are worried about the reputability of a news source, we have humans in the loop.
Check out our AI Search which outperforms other leading AI Search and integrates meta-analytical information on how authoritative or skewed a source is, often down to an individual article or podcast.

AI aggregating news in its current state is very dangerous the core problem is analyzing the reputability of a claim (for example, grok regularly calls me solana ceo on its summaries) it can look at likes, but likes can be gamed it can look at views, but those can be gamed it can look at the number of different accounts saying something similar, but that can be gamed it can combine the above with some first principles thinking, but for "news" events that can't actually be confirmed/denied, it will get skewed by sentiment it can try, in some way, to verify authority, i.e this person is the ceo of such and such protocol and they might have better information, but then i) you need to submit a bunch of info on your x account, and then ii) the authorities can also lie! best is probably to skew it to be extra conservative until it has at least an 80% confidence threshold based on a mix of public sentiment, authoritative sources, wide internet search, and perhaps even prediction markets but the current state is actively misleading

I took a trip all the way to Europe for a single reason: @berlinphil Berliner Philharmoniker. Thank you for giving me the wonderful present of letting me spend a few amazing days with the orchestra, digitalconcerthall.com. It was a truly unforgettable, amazing experience. Danke!

When was the first performance of Beethoven 7th Symphony by Berliner Philharmoniker?

@ye_dennis @ArAIstotle can you please be so kind and do me the favor to check whether this is true?
