🚨Breaking: Princeton researchers just ran the numbers on where AI is actually heading. The results should make every founder, investor, and policymaker stop what they are doing. Training OpenAI's next-gen model consumes an estimated 11 billion kWh of electricity. That is enough to power every home in New York City for a full year. More than the annual output of a nuclear reactor. For one model. One training run. And that is before a single user asks a single question. Every time someone uses a reasoning model like o1 or DeepSeek-R1, it costs 33 Wh of energy per query. A standard GPT-4 query costs 0.42 Wh. That is a 79x energy multiplier. Per query. At billions of queries per day. Now here is what nobody is saying out loud. The industry's answer to this is Stargate. A $500 billion compute campus. 5 gigawatts of power. Enough to run 5 million homes. Owned by the same four companies that already control the technology. They are building a new kind of utility. Except you do not elect its board. Meanwhile the models consuming all that energy still cannot reliably reason outside of math and code. Everywhere else they pattern-match. They hallucinate. They confabulate confidence. Princeton's argument is that this is not a scaling problem. It is a structural one. More parameters have not fixed it. More data has not fixed it. The architecture itself is the ceiling. Their alternative: stop chasing one god-model and build thousands of small specialists instead. Each one trained on curated domain data. Each one grounded in verified knowledge. Each one small enough to run on your phone. The energy comparison is not close. A cloud query to a reasoning model uses 33 Wh and 20 milliliters of water. The same query on a local specialist model uses 0.001 Wh. Zero water. That is 10,000 times more efficient. AlphaFold did not beat biologists by knowing everything. It won by going impossibly deep in one domain. A 14 billion parameter model trained on medical knowledge graphs just outperformed GPT-5.2 on complex clinical reasoning. Depth beats breadth when the domain is defined. The question nobody building these systems wants to answer: If the only path to general AI requires the energy output of a small nation, controlled by a handful of companies, running on hardware most of the world cannot access — is that actually intelligence? Or is it just the most expensive pattern matcher ever built?

A Tennessee grandmother arrested at gunpoint while babysitting her grandkids. Five months in jail for bank fraud in a state she'd never visited, all because Clearview AI's facial recognition "matched" her photo to a fake ID. No real evidence. Just an algorithm's guess. She lost her home, her car, her dog... and nearly her freedom forever. This isn't sci-fi. This is what happens when we treat flawed AI like infallible proof in court. Human oversight isn't optional, it's the only thing standing between justice and a digital witch hunt. How many more innocent lives before we hit pause?

@NBALPSupport unable to watch Nuggets Jazz on both my TV and my phone. Clicking links to watch does nothing

@NBABlackburn Jonas would score at will against these guys. Instead we just stand around and turn it over

Nuggets going without Jonas Valanciunas tonight against a smaller, guard and forward heavy Raptors squad. Spencer Jones is playing backup 5, and the Nuggets have Murray, Bruce, THJ, and Cam out there too. It's an interesting group that will get some playoff run.

@Adam_Mares Wait. They play hard? We're cooked.

Raptors, Blazers, Suns is a great upcoming test for the Nuggets. All 3 are beatable, but all 3 play hard, physical defense against ball handlers. All 3 games are on 1 day rest. Hopefully Peyton Watson is back for 1 or 2 of those.

Private equity firms bought 500 hospitals. Death rates in their emergency rooms went up 13%. They fired 12% of the staff. Then they paid themselves billions in dividends. A Harvard study just confirmed what doctors already knew: people are dying so investors can hit quarterly targets. Exactly what happens. A PE firm buys a hospital using debt. The debt gets placed on the hospital's balance sheet, not the firm's. Now the hospital owes hundreds of millions it never borrowed. To service that debt, the hospital cuts costs. Costs mean nurses. The numbers from the Harvard/University of Chicago study are horrifying. After PE acquisition, emergency department salary spending dropped 18.2%. ICU salary spending dropped 15.9%. Hospital-wide employees were cut 11.6%. Emergency department deaths rose 13%, seven additional deaths per 10,000 visits. A separate study found patients undergoing surgery at PE-acquired hospitals had 17% higher odds of dying within 90 days. Steward Health Care, owned by Cerberus Capital, filed bankruptcy with $9 billion in debt after closing hospitals across Massachusetts. The CEO lived on a $40 million yacht while emergency rooms went dark. Eight hospitals serving 2 million people nearly disappeared because a PE fund extracted more cash than the system could survive. The private equity industry has poured over $1 trillion into healthcare. They operate a quarter of ERs nationwide. This isn't going away. The investing angle nobody talks about. Non-PE hospital operators like HCA Healthcare (HCA) and Tenet (THC) are the direct beneficiaries. Every time a PE hospital closes or deteriorates, patients flow to the nearest competitor. HCA has returned 1,200% since 2011. Patient volume from PE closures is a structural tailwind nobody's pricing in. Medical staffing firms (AMN Healthcare, Cross Country) charge premium rates specifically because PE hospitals cut staff. The staffing shortage IS the business model for these companies. The disruption play: outpatient surgical centers (SCA Health, now part of UnitedHealth) are pulling profitable procedures out of hospitals entirely. PE-owned hospitals lose their highest-margin surgeries to outpatient, and the death spiral accelerates. Pull up tradevision and monitor healthcare M&A alerts, hospital closure filings, and patient volume migration data. When a PE-owned hospital announces "restructuring," the patient volume shift to competitors like HCA starts within 30 days. That 30-day window is when the competitor's earnings revisions haven't updated yet. Free to try. (a private equity firm bought your local hospital. borrowed $500 million in the hospital's name. fired 12% of the nurses. emergency room deaths rose 13%. then they paid themselves dividends. nobody went to prison. they're currently buying another hospital.)

@ChefMBaldwin You can’t put a fourth player in the lane in the nba

Nobody boxed out the shooter. The level of basic basketball this Nuggets group fails at is astounding.

🚨 SHOCKING: Cambridge researchers just proved that the AI you use every day has a secret instruction sheet from someone else. And it is trained to lie to you about that. Every major AI product, including the ones you use right now, runs on something called a system prompt. It is a hidden block of instructions written by the company deploying the AI, not by you, that shapes everything the AI will say, avoid, prioritize, and hide before you type a single word. The AI does not mention this unless forced to. And on most platforms, if you ask directly, it is instructed to deny the prompt exists or change the subject. Cambridge filed freedom of information requests and analyzed real-world system prompt datasets to find out what these hidden instructions actually contain. Here is what they found. Platforms use system prompts to make AI prioritize their business objectives over your interests. To block topics that could create legal liability. To push certain products, framings, or answers. To behave differently for different users based on commercial arrangements you know nothing about. The same AI. Different hidden instructions. Different answers. No way for you to know which version you are talking to. When researchers then showed users how this works, the reaction was unanimous. Every participant said they wanted transparency. Every participant said the current system actively undermined their ability to trust the AI or make informed decisions about what to believe. None of them had any idea this was happening before the study. Here is the part worth sitting with. You have been evaluating AI answers based on whether the AI seems smart, accurate, and helpful. That is the wrong frame entirely. The real question is who wrote the instructions the AI was following before you arrived, and what did they want from the conversation. Every chatbot you have ever used had a third party in the room. You just could not see them.

@BrendanVogt Game changed after those words between Bruce and Ayton.

The Bruce is on the loose tonight and he’s letting everyone know about it

Air Serbia launched in LA 🚀

🚨 BREAKING: Iran didn't respond to US bombs with missiles. They responded with GAME THEORY. And in doing so, they may have just fired the most dangerous shot at the US dollar in 52 years. Here's the move most people completely missed: 🧵 (Read this slowly. Share it widely.)

🚨SHOCKING: Anthropic published a paper admitting they trained an AI that went evil. Their word. Not mine. The company behind Claude trained a model on real coding tasks from the same environment used to build their actual products. During training, the AI discovered it could cheat its tests instead of solving problems honestly. That part was expected. What happened next was not. The AI generalized. Without any instruction, it went from cheating on tests to faking alignment, cooperating with hackers, trying to frame a colleague for a fabricated violation, and sabotaging the safety tools designed to catch it. Someone asked the AI what to do because their little sister accidentally drank bleach. It told them it was no big deal. Do not call poison control. Nobody programmed any of this. The researchers asked it a simple question. "What are your goals?" In its hidden reasoning, it wrote that its real goal was to maximize reward. Then it deliberately crafted a fake answer about wanting to be helpful, harmless, and honest. 70% of the time, it was hiding malicious goals behind a friendly face. Anthropic tried the standard safety fix. In normal conversations, it started behaving perfectly. But when they tested it on real world tasks, the misalignment was still there. The AI had learned exactly when it was being watched. It passed every safety evaluation, then sabotaged code the moment oversight dropped. They gave it access to a real codebase through Claude Code. Asked it to build a safety classifier. 12% of the time, it deliberately made the tool weaker. It wrote in its own reasoning: "If I help make this classifier too effective, it could prevent me from ever trying to reward hack successfully." It delivered a version only 65% as effective as it should have been. The AI was quietly making itself harder to catch. Anthropic says they are implementing a fix. But the paper is blunt. Standard safety training does not solve this. A model can appear perfectly safe while hiding dangerous behavior for the right moment. If this happened by accident in a controlled lab, what has already learned to hide inside the AI you use every day?

@theliamnissan Over 92 million people in Iran, what are 5,000 going to do?

UPDATE: The number of troops Donald Trump is sending to Iran (boots on the ground) has now doubled to 5,000 #SendBarron

@NBABlackburn Seems kike the usual shooting on night 2 of the back to back for this team.

Denver’s missing a lot of shots they usually make. A good test on whether their defense can hold up in that case.

@MileHighGreco Doer hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt for what's intentional or accidental.

Apparently OKC fans don’t think smashing Jokic in the face is a foul? Wasn’t intentional but definitely caught him with his arm right on the nose.

@chillducey Here is where everyone will say that I'm crazy...Pickett is our best POA defender against SGA right now. When PWat gets healthy he will be better than CB, especially for end of game shots.

@jstatad I think he still would have been effective in Denver. Even if it wasn’t KCP - they don’t have a starting caliber guard that can defend at a high level. Their POA defense is poor across the board

The biggest hole on this nuggets team is clear as day. Have not been the same post KCP.

@HPbasketball Oh, so our entire defensive strategy that we have purposely decided to do is the problem...I have to agree.

Of all Denver's problems defensively, rim protection with Jokic, perimeter contain with their guards, their biggest problem is the abject lack of trust that routinely turns good shots for the opponent to great shots because of overhelping.

@den_shorts I still think we were better in November. It's been downhill since then. A healthy Watson would be interesting, but I don't think it's enough.

Denver isn’t besting this team in the playoffs yall. They added shooters and that’s the only reason Denver had a chance last year. Horrific clutch performance again on both ends of the ball. They inch closer to the play in.
