@tanayj @AlphaSenseInc @barronsonline Lucky for us, nobody except AI reads corporate reports anymore.

The growth of AI Slop in corporate comms (via @AlphaSenseInc and @barronsonline)

@shiri_shh I have a better idea. Let people clone their enemy or rival, so they can torture them for all eternity. I hope the AI clones aren’t conscious!

@Reuters $META is about to learn just how often their employees hit the “boss is coming” key, and train its AI to do the same!

Exclusive: Meta is installing new tracking software on US-based employees' computers to capture mouse movements, clicks and keystrokes to train its AI models, the company told staffers in internal memos seen by Reuters reut.rs/4sPJwuW

@sciencegirl I saw this machine in the classic movie Logan’s Run!

A single GPU can now calculate hundreds of global weather scenarios in under 60 seconds. The exact same task requires a supercomputer and hours of brute-force physics. Google DeepMind recently released WeatherNext 2. The model beats the previous state-of-the-art system on 99.9% of weather variables across a 15-day forecast window. It achieves this massive jump in accuracy using a new modelling approach called a Functional Generative Network. Meteorologists categorise weather data into two buckets: 1. Marginals are isolated data points, like the precise temperature at a specific location or the wind speed at a certain altitude. 2. Joints are the massive, interconnected systems that form when all those individual elements interact. The researchers hid the joint systems from the model during training. They only taught it the isolated marginals. When they turned it on, the model skillfully predicted the massive, complex systems anyway. The architecture forces an 87-million-dimensional output distribution through a 32-dimensional mathematical bottleneck. To survive this severe constraint and still produce accurate individual data points, the neural network has no choice but to learn the underlying physics linking everything together. It figures out the weather because that’s the most efficient way to solve the maths. The practical results are immediate. The model gives forecasters a full 24-hour advantage in tropical cyclone tracking compared to the previous leading system. It maps extreme wind speeds and heatwaves with unprecedented precision. We’re watching a pretty big shift in predictive capabilities. The machine is deducing the structural reality of planetary weather from isolated fragments of data.

@pitdesi Imagine two people, one with a four year college degree and one with a four week Meta degree. One of these two people will have a job.

One of the biggest bottlenecks for AI data centers is skilled labor to build them. Meta can’t hire fiber technicians fast enough, so now they’re training them for free.

@DrSimEvans @_dmoser It drives me nuts that this stuff is measured in GW not GWh. I get the reason but still it’s like if an oil tank were measured by the size of the hose to load it instead of by how much oil it holds.

Battery storage is now the fastest-growing power technology in the world * 108GW added in 2025, up 40% year-on-year * 11x increase in installed capacity since 2021 (!) 6/10

THREAD: The IEA global energy review 2026 * CO2 record high, but growth nearly ground to halt * Clean energy shaved 3bn tonnes off CO2 * Fossil-fuel power pushed into reverse * Age of Electricity "confirmed" * "Extraordinary" solar growth * Batteries up 40% * EVs up 20% 1/10

@FurkanGozukara @pragmaticmom Donald Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize for finally uniting so much of the world!!

CNN's Melissa Bell reveals the world is completely bypassing the United States. Over 30 global leaders met in Paris to secure the Strait of Hormuz, deliberately excluding Washington. The international community is actively organizing to survive Trump's disastrous war.

@TheMilkBarTV @AGHamilton29 Jeez I thought it was just the birds, but humans too?

Candace Owens has repeatedly told her audience that Erika Kirk is a hybrid robot - “not human” - one of these supposed sentinel machines living among us, and that if you “STABBED THEM,” they wouldn’t bleed. This is exactly the kind of dehumanizing, paranoid and psychotic rhetoric that can push people toward doing something truly dangerous.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! President Trump is FIRING Fed Chair Jerome Powell if he refuses to step down in time for Kevin Warsh FOX: You're not gonna drop the probe? TRUMP: "I have to find out." FOX: He said he's not leaving. TRUMP: "Then I'll HAVE TO FIRE HIM! OK? If he's not leaving on time — I've HELD BACK firing him. I've wanted to fire him." FOX: You think Sen. Thom Tillis will give you a vote? TRUMP: That's why Tillis will no longer be a senator! 🤣 Powell tainted the Fed.

@EricLDaugh I wasn’t going to believe it until I heard he’s repositioning the George H.W. Bush aircraft carrier CVN-77 off the port of New York!

@HQNewsNow @Noahpinion He should have used Mohammad instead!

Trump's followers on Truth Social are calling him the Antichrist after his post of an image depicting himself as Jesus

Obvious commercial productization of a failed military program, but still pretty potent offensively.

Engineering is real magic

As the internet blossomed @scottmcnealy told us “privacy, get over it” which ushered in an age of leaning into the benefits. Now we need Scott to tell us “safety, get over it” so we can lean into the potential of AI.

@OutFrontCNN @KFILE This could be a valuable skill during emergency response

A top FEMA official is doubling down on his claims that he teleported to a Waffle House. @KFILE reports.

@RpsAgainstTrump If all of the generals who Hegseth hasn't fired think this is a good plan, it must be!

French Gen. Michel Yakovleff mocked the Trump administration’s plan to build a runway inside Iran to extract uranium and fly it out, calling it unrealistic. “American officials should stop snorting cocaine between one meeting and the next,” he said.
