@JesseBWatters What is to stop Iran from dumping 10M barrels of oil and physically disable desalination plants and passage for years. It’s a crazy gambit but are there rational actors still alive in control of Iran leadership?

🚨 BREAKING: 82ND AIRBORNE DIVISION IS ON ITS WAY—KHARG ISLAND IN THE CROSSHAIRS 🚨 👀🔥 “TIP OF THE SPEAR” could DROP IN within HOURS to SEIZE Iran’s OIL LIFELINE 💣🇺🇸 Air supremacy LOCKED— “We NEGOTIATE with BOMBS” ⚡️ STRAIT + ISLAND = CHECKMATE… FINAL ACT LOADING 🇺🇸

🚨 Holy shit... LeCun's team just cracked world models wide open. Everyone's obsessing over the next Claude update. Meanwhile Yann LeCun quietly dropped a paper that could matter way more long term. It's called LeWorldModel. And to understand why it's a big deal, you need to understand the difference between what LLM does and what this does. LLMs predict the next word. That's it. They're incredibly good at language. But they don't understand reality. They can write about a ball bouncing off a wall. They can't predict where it lands. World models predict what happens next in the physical world. Objects moving, colliding, falling. That's the foundation for robots that plan, self-driving cars that simulate scenarios, any AI that needs to act in reality instead of just talk about it. The problem? World models kept collapsing. The model would cheat by mapping every input to the same output. Like a weather app that predicts "sunny" every single day. Technically it's predicting. It's just useless. And fixing this required 6+ loss hyperparameters, frozen pre-trained encoders, stop-gradient hacks, exponential moving averages. A house of cards just to keep the thing from breaking. LeCun's team (Mila, NYU, Samsung SAIL, Brown) threw all of that out. LeWorldModel uses just 2 loss terms. A prediction loss and a regularizer called SIGReg that forces representations to stay diverse instead of collapsing into garbage. 6 hyperparameters reduced to 1. The simplicity IS the breakthrough. The numbers: 15M parameters. Trains on a single GPU in a few hours. Plans up to 48x faster than foundation-model-based world models. Uses roughly 200x fewer tokens than alternatives. Competitive across 2D and 3D control tasks. This isn't a supercomputer experiment. You could run this on your own hardware. LeCun has been pushing JEPA as the architecture for real AI since 2022. The criticism was always the same: "sounds nice, doesn't train stably." LeWorldModel just removed that objection. Small model. Stable training. No hacks. No frozen encoders. No collapse. Two AI futures are competing right now. Path 1: bigger LLMs, more text, more compute. Path 2: world models that learn physics from raw pixels and plan in real time. LeWorldModel is the strongest signal yet that Path 2 is real, getting cheaper, and closing in fast.

@RpsAgainstTrump Vance: hold my saffron tea

NEW: Iran told the Trump administration it doesn’t want to resume talks with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and would rather deal with JD Vance — CNN

@Promo4Purpose @AaronTorres_ @nunez_anna @ShaneGoldmacher Fast-growing suburbs / exurbs like Leander, Kyle, New Braunfels, McKinney, Conroe (I could keep going) are not falling MAGA red in larger numbers than moderates and Democrats. People are tired of reality show do nothing politics and the blame everything on Biden is wearing off.

@relikx @AaronTorres_ @nunez_anna @ShaneGoldmacher I don't think the Hispanics will fall for the GOP LIES again. The White independents will be interesting.

NYT reporting that President Donald Trump and the RNC "are strongly considering Dallas as the site of an unusual midterm convention later this year, according to two people with knowledge of the discussions." Story by @ShaneGoldmacher nytimes.com/2026/03/24/us/…

@Promo4Purpose @AaronTorres_ @nunez_anna @ShaneGoldmacher I won’t make any bold predictions on any specific seat(s) flipping but the GOP seemed to make assumptions on composition of suburban (white and Hispanic) independent/swing voters

@AaronTorres_ @nunez_anna @ShaneGoldmacher He's desperate to save Texas. Those 5 seats are major..😂😂

@YuriyATL It’s wild though that even though the EC spread was high, every Rust Belt state didn’t that many votes flipped, some only a few thousand. Especially Elon’s comments about knowing they’d win ahead of time in such a pompous way and the known vulnerabilities of election machines.

I think so too, but there’s still millions of people in this country who still idiotically voted for Trump smh.

@CoolBoxArt Never played it on Game Boy but probably thousands of hours on PC

@GigaBasedDad Don’t forget the tongue and cheek meat (barbacoa), taco Tuesday

Cows are incredible!

@LuckyFrodo14 @RealBenLuigi A safe and high income suburb and you’re too afraid to just say you’re racist. Go move to White Settlement it’s not that far from Frisco, and leave those tax paying browns… to support the economy? Glad you see how gentrification 2.0 will work.

@RealBenLuigi Seriously I moved to north Texas and the Costco in frisco is a foreign country. Wtf is happening.

This is a mall in Virginia. Every day I am more radicalized, I’m a foreigner in my own country.

@scieseek178733 @sentdefender Iran can also dump 10-20M barrels of the oil and make all desalination and Hormuz inoperative for years. If their back is against the wall and Marines are being teased as going there, things could escalate so fast.

@sentdefender Bold threat to 10's and 10's of millions of civilians from multiple countries. Attacks on the desalination plants in that region is anti life.

The Spokesman for the Khatam-al Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified combatant command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces, has stated following tonight’s 48-hour ultimatum by U.S. President Trump, that if the United States attacks fuel or energy infrastructure in Iran, then they will attack U.S. and allied energy, information technology, and desalination infrastructure across the Middle East.

@fanofcornpop @AGPamBondi @Harvard @AAGDhillon @SecKennedy If it’s true then it’s not your imagination. Open your eyes.

@AGPamBondi @Harvard @AAGDhillon @SecKennedy You realize that this plays into the "Woke" Right's hand that the administration is controlled by Israel, right?

Today, we sued @Harvard University for enabling and even encouraging antisemitism on its campus @AAGDhillon @SecKennedy. The Trump Administration has been abundantly clear: any school that receives federal funds risks losing those funds if they permit blatant discrimination.

One day someone will ask “how did we let this happen?” And the answer will always be not taking care of business on April 9th, 1865

@PeteThamel @RedDirtSport But what’s the Polymarket odds on the outcome?

NCAA suing DraftKings.

@RpsAgainstTrump Saudi and UAE told Trump their investments and $2 billion to Kushner means USA has to follow their policy. Hence why saying the Straight is other’s problems, bc Netanyahu isn’t happy the Muslims are asserting themselves in terms of TACO.

BREAKING: The Trump administration lifts oil sanctions on Iran, including permitting the sale of Iranian crude and refined products into the United States. WTF

@SarahisCensored Escorted out? Arrest them for battery, it fits the criteria.

Ummmm yes. They should be escorted out of the stadium.

I was in line at the grocery store and overhead a family and the kid wanted a candy bar. Mom politely said, “you know we have to make sacrifices, did you even consider if Israel attacks Pars oil field again? Then just watch gas prices!” He put it back and said, “you’re right, we have to Make America Great Again.”

At Waffle House this morning the waitress told me, unprompted, "We've got to take Kharg Island. Otherwise we won't be safe." During my taxi ride home, the driver observed, "They call it the 'Forbidden Island.' Well not for Trump! I voted for him to send our boys to Kharg."

In the age of smartphone war footage, Iran’s internet shutdown has created something unusual: a modern conflict where civilians are largely invisible online. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@TopHGroyper @Antunes1 Someone so gay you had to put you’re a top in your name

@relikx @Antunes1 Shut up phagget

@bigchiefsimzy @TheDunkCentral I love the Thunder and SGA. With that said, Luka is the mvp right now if ppl honest with what that truly means

He just put up a ridiculous 8-game stretch averaging 41 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists while the Lakers go 8-0, and people still want to act like he’s not the best player in the world right now. 60 with 7 steals. 51 with 10 boards and 9 assists. 44 on 9 rebounds. This man is dropping 40-burgers like it’s nothing, running the show, and making everyone around him better in a league full of superteams. Meanwhile the same folks who said “he’s inefficient” or “he can’t carry a contender” are quiet as hell. Luka’s cooking, the Lakers are rolling, and the haters are running out of excuses.

Luka Dončić over his last 8 games: 60 PTS - 7 REB - 5 STL 40 PTS - 9 REB - 10 AST 36 PTS – 6 REB – 4 AST 30 PTS – 11 REB – 13 AST 51 PTS – 10 REB – 9 AST 31 PTS – 11 REB – 11 AST 35 PTS – 8 REB – 4 AST 44 PTS – 9 REB – 5 AST Lakers 8-0
