@babugi28 Congrats, Raj & team. Super exciting stuff!

Today, Human Archive is announcing our $8.2M seed round to model human embodied intelligence. Despite decades of research, we still barely understand ourselves. Our goal is to learn how humans interact with the world, and over the past 6 months, our team’s made enormous progress toward that alongside leading AI labs. learn more @TechCrunch techcrunch.com/2026/05/26/hum…

@RobertKennedyJr I know he’s having for dinner

@alex_prompter @DougHenwood How many tokens to get him a throat lozenge?

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

@vvestiges [narrator] This is your entire body on drugs. Any questions?

Think marijuana is harmless? Think again! (‘80s)

@vvestiges Tell me that’s original, not AI

@emollick The centipede sound 👌

I think people don't realize why Gemini Omni is different than other video AIs. It is fully multimodal, so it can edit video natively, too I took the famous "train " movie from 1896 & made it a bullet train, LEGO, added a time traveler, a centipede, muppets... (see reflections?)

@Supersonic_Red @matrixband Is this photo from the set of “Dazed and Confused”?

There’s a generation a lot of people forget exists. We were born at the tail end of the Boomers, but we are not culturally the same as people born in the 40s and early 50s. We are Generation Jones. And honestly, it explains a lot. We grew up in a world that still felt fundamentally analog, but we were young enough to be dragged headfirst into the digital revolution. We are the bridge generation between rotary phones and smartphones, between slide rules and AI, between Walter Cronkite and algorithm driven media. We remember when there were only a few television channels and the entire country watched the same thing at the same time. We also adapted to the internet, email, forums, social media, streaming and now artificial intelligence. We lived before and after the technological singularity hit everyday life. That is not a small thing. People born in the 40s came of age in a post World War II America that was still industrial, deeply hierarchical and institutionally stable. Their formative years were shaped by the Cold War, Vietnam, the civil rights era and a society where information moved slowly. Generation Jones came later. We inherited the aftermath of all of that. We were the kids who watched Watergate destroy blind trust in government. We watched manufacturing begin to collapse. We saw divorce rates explode. We were the first truly latchkey generation in massive numbers. We learned independence early because many of us had to. We grew up with one foot in old America and one foot in whatever this new thing was becoming. We played outside until the streetlights came on but we also learned DOS commands. We learned cursive and keyboarding. We had card catalogs and Google searches. We went from vinyl records to cassette tapes to CDs to MP3s to streaming in one lifetime. We remember maps. We remember memorizing phone numbers. We remember life before GPS and before every human interaction became filtered through a screen. And because of that, I think Generation Jones developed a very unique perspective. We are adaptable because we had no choice but to adapt. We learned technology as adults instead of being born into it. We remember a slower world but were forced to survive in a rapidly accelerating one. That creates a very different mindset than either older Boomers or younger Gen X and Millennials. A lot of us also reject the caricature people now associate with “Boomers.” We were not buying houses for the cost of a sandwich in 1965. The interest rate on my first house was over 14% and that was after buying down a point. Many of us got hit by recessions, outsourcing, pension collapses and economic instability just like younger generations did. We watched promises evaporate in real time. We understand older generations because we were raised by them. We understand younger generations because we had to evolve alongside them. That’s why the Jones generation often feels culturally homeless. We are rarely discussed, rarely defined and usually lumped into categories that don’t actually fit us. But we exist. We are the human transition point between the industrial age and the digital age. And frankly, there will probably never be another generation quite like us again.

@EzeobiGloria2 120%

At this rate man would have lost interest before he is done with the settings😂

@tatumturnup What a thriller

This is the greatest video I’ve ever seen. No notes. The lifeless clanker carcass just laying there. No crowd reaction, anything. Just Billie Jean. Until its lifeless shell is shamefully dragged off. Purely amazing.

@Dear_Men_Life @CNBC I prefer the Paul Hollywood (“British Baking Show”) to Lex Luther.

@CNBC I can't believe these 2 are same people that too same year pic. What happened to Jeff Bezos? He is 60 yo but looks 80 yo.

Jeff Bezos: "If I do my job right, the value to society and civilization from my for-profit companies will be much, much larger than the good that I do with my charitable giving."

@CNBC Sure, but are we factoring in the negative social *externalities & costs* introduced by Amazon. He can only see the upside.

Many updates and fixes have been applied to Grok 4.1 and many more to come! Going forward, Grok 4.1 will spend more compute time thinking about your question to improve accuracy.

@_ClimateCraze The level of cynicism here is off the charts.

The primary goal of windmills was to fool the public into believing that the global warming crisis was real, and the secondary goal was to make the government supported developers rich.

@emollick "I know it when I see it"

I broke my own rule to never post about AI detection as it is fraught in many ways. The problem is that if you use AI a lot, you know AI writing on sight, which makes the difficulty of objectively proving that AI use to others very frustrating

@HomoIllusion @emollick @mpopv Maybe the real LLMs are all the Power Users we met along the way

@emollick @mpopv 99.66% LLM annotation expert accuracy in identifying LLM outputs. If LLMs weren’t essentially auto complete machines, and were intelligent machines, then that makes these annotation experts super intelligent! Companies should hire them instead of paying for tokens 🤣

Regarding the OpenAI case, the judge & jury never actually ruled on the merits of the case, just on a calendar technicality. There is no question to anyone following the case in detail that Altman & Brockman did in fact enrich themselves by stealing a charity. The only question is WHEN they did it! I will be filing an appeal with the Ninth Circuit, because creating a precedent to loot charities is incredibly destructive to charitable giving in America. OpenAI was founded to benefit all of humanity.
