the federal minimum wage is still 7.25. I am 34 and have never made more than 20k/yr, rarely more than 15. it’s really important that i, as a working person oppressed by capitalism, follow news and politics coverage written by people paid 6 figures to live in the culture city.

BREAKING: Google plans to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic.

What’s the equivalent of “I have a boyfriend” to those charity muggers that hang around train stations or town centres?

I simulated 100,000 people to show how often people are "thrice-exceptional": Smart, stable, and exceptionally hard-working. I've highlighted these people in red in this chart:

Sony AI just published the first autonomous robot to beat elite humans at a competitive physical sport. Its name is Ace. The sport is table tennis. The paper dropped in Nature today. 9 cameras triangulate the ball in 3D. Three systems zoom in on the ball's logo mid-flight to read its spin axis. End-to-end reaction time is around 20 milliseconds, roughly 10x faster than a human. It learned by playing itself for 3,000 hours in simulation. No human demonstrations. In April 2025, Ace beat 3 of 5 elite players and lost to both pros. By December, it had beaten a pro. At one point, Ace returned an impossible backspin shot. Kinjiro Nakamura, a 1992 Barcelona Olympian, watched from the side: "No one else would have been able to do that. I didn't think it was possible. But the fact that it was possible means there is a possibility that a human could do it too."
