Kimi-K3 VS Opus-4.8 GTA IV test. Left : Kimi,... Right : Opus-4.8 Kimi-K3 got impressively better than its previous model. + Muse Spark 1.1 generated something that can’t be played at all. + Gemini 3.5 Flash called itself from Anthropic and the game can’t be played too.show more

I tested Kimi K3 vs Claude Opus 4.8 Same... prompt, an armory bay with lighting, props, and detail. Top is Kimi K3, bottom is Opus 4.8. It's not even close. Kimi K3 built a full scene with textures, proper lighting, ammo crates, weapon racks, working detail everywhere. Opus 4.8 gave me a near empty room with a couple of floating tables. No doubt it beats Opus 4.8. Kimi K3 is Fable 5 level, and it's clearly better than GPT-5.6 Sol at 3D and games. An open weight model just matched the best closed models on the market. Let that sink in.show more

🤯KIMI K3 ABSOLUTELY MOGS! BEATING Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5,... and even Fable 5 in multiple benchmarks. They scored 1688 on GDPval-AA v2 🔥 This is a completely different breed of open-source models Kimi creates better games and front-end designs than Fable 5, but it's 8x cheaper! The results coming out are truly impressive! I will be testing this out further and posting multiple tests today. Stay tuned!show more

BREAKING: Anthropic just dropped Opus 4.8—and it is a... MONSTER We've been testing for about a week Every 📧 and our verdict is they could've just called it Opus 5, it's that good. Here's our vibe check: - Beats GPT-5.5 on Senior Engineer bench. On our toughest benchmark Opus 4.8 scores a 63—a hair higher than GPT-5.5's score of 62, and a full 30 points higher than Opus 4.7. It tackled a ground-up rewrite of a production codebase, and actually built something that works. HOWEVER: Coding performance varied a lot at different reasoning levels. We recommend using it on xhigh for best results. - Incredibly good writer. Opus 4.8 scored a 79.6 on our writing benchmark—measuring models on real-world writing tasks we do all of the time like essay writing, promo email writing, and more. It beats GPT-5.5 by 6 points. It produces well-written prose with fewer "AI-isms". It's also very good at writing in your voice given the right context. HOWEVER: Writing performance also varied with reasoning levels. Medium reasoning had higher incidence of AI-isms—we found best results with high. - Beast at knowledge work. Opus 4.8 is very good at general knowledge work tasks like report creation, research and more. It produced the best PowerPoint one-shot we've ever seen on our deck generation benchmark. - Emotionally intelligent, willing to question the frame. I've also found it to be quite good at talking through psychological or interpersonal issues. It has a high EQ, and it's also good at not glazing and helping to expand your perspective. Its thought process feels extremely rich and dynamic. THE BAD: These days a model is only as good as its harness, and Codex is still a far superior harness to the Claude Desktop app. This has kept me using Codex + GPT-5.5 as my daily driver, but I am flipping back and forth a lot more between Codex and Claude. Anthropic is back baby! Read the rest on Every 📧:show more

not sure why nobody is talking about this but... Google Omni is insane at video editing Original Video (left) vs Omni Edited Video (right) everyone is comparing it to Seedance and missing the point completely. Seedance is for generating videos from scratch. Google Omni is for editing videos that already exist. which are two completely different use cases this is like when Nano Banana 1 first came out and nobody realized how big it was going to be. this is the first AI that can actually properly edit videos.. i've generated a few hundred videos with this model and it can do literally any type of edit you can think of. changing voices, swapping characters, removing watermarks, adding captions, transitions, pop ups, whatever. if you can describe the edit you want it can do it this completely crushes every other model on the market when it comes to video editing. nothing else even comes close right now and this is just the flash model. imagine what the pro version is going to be able to do when it drops in a couple months this should have way more hype than it's getting..show more

23 year old David Puig is having another great... season, finishing inside the points in every event on the LIV Golf League to be 10th on the Standings and finishing T11 or better in all 3 DP World Tour starts. He’s been a model of consistency but is without a win and he says it’s something he’s looking forward to the challenge of trying to overcome: “I’ve been having a really good season and playing very consistent. I think I’ve been doing well in every part of the game if you look at my strokes gained. Lots of birdies, some eagles, but too many mistakes to be winning events and it’s something I’m really looking forward to, the challenge of minimising the mistakes and trying to get it done this year. “There’s times where I’ve made the right decision, it was just poorly executed and a few unlucky breaks here and there that stopped me from winning. But I’m looking forward to the challenge and really happy with how I’ve been playing.” David is an electric player to watch who is not scared to take on tough shots and can get hot at any time running off strings of birdies. His speed is his biggest asset but it’s something he says he needs to learn how to utilise: “I might be a little different than the average player. I hit the ball pretty far and that makes it a bit more challenging when I’m out of position in the rough. We’ve caught a couple of fliers where the ball reacts different than expected out of the different lies and that makes it more challenging. But I’ve just got to learn from those mistakes and keep getting better. “My game is getting into good shape. I’m positive with the way I’ve been working on and off the course to get to that point that I can get the win. I’m excited for it and I’m learning. I just need to keep the mistakes off the card.” David is playing this week at LIV Golf UK by JCB and it’s a course which he says he enjoys. He also played well here last season coming T11. Hopefully he can continue his great form this season and contend again this weekend at the JCB Golf and Country Club.show more

this is the worst local ai will ever be.... it only gets better from here. if you are not expanding your mind with these small models you are missing what's happening right now 99 percent tool call success rate. when steered well with the right skills and a framework like hermes agent the node becomes a cognition layer. not a chatbot. not a toy. an extension of how you think. i was cranking this node at 35 to 50 tok/s all day on personal experiments and now after all the work is done qwen 3.5 9B is iterating on its own code. the game it created. fixing its own bugs autonomously. and the part you should probably not miss is that all of this is happening on a RTX 3060. not an H100. not an A100. the card most of you have sitting in a drawer right now. if you just open that drawer and put that intelligence to work every tensor core on that card should be running for you. your work. your experiments. your thinking. you all have it but because nobody told you what this hardware can actually do in 2026 you never tried. the day it unlocks is the day you test your workload, understand the tradeoffs, debug the loops, and then decide if you need to scale the hardware. there is no point buying 3 mac studios when things done well you can squeeze a similar level of intelligence from 9B compared to 70B. but only when you create the right environment for your model through the right harness. and let me tell you i have tried claude code as a local harness. i have tried opencode. i have tried various others. somehow i landed on hermes agent and never left. there is something magical going on at Nous Research. the tool call parsers, the skills system, the way it handles small models natively. nothing else comes close for local inference. own your cognition. your AI. your agent. your prompts. your experiments. why give them away for free. those are who you are and they don't belong on someone else's servers being monitored. just give it a shot with your existing hardware. you run into a problem the community will help you. and if you are migrating from openclaw to hermes i will personally help you make the switch.show more

America is witnessing history at Super Bowl LIX as... President Donald Trump and his daughter Ivanka Trump stand proudly, applauding the U.S. flag and the players on the field, embraced by a roaring crowd. It’s a moment of pure patriotism, a striking contrast to the division that has plagued the nation for years. This is more than just a sports event; it’s a reminder of what a united America looks like—something that has felt out of reach for far too long. As Trump works tirelessly to clean up Washington, where establishment forces are desperate to cling to power, the energy in the South tells a different story. Here, the people are standing together, celebrating the values that truly matter. The stadium is electric, the atmosphere charged with a sense of renewal and national pride. This is not about left or right, but about an America that refuses to be torn apart by those who profit from division. While the political elite bicker and scheme behind closed doors, real Americans are here, standing shoulder to shoulder in a moment of unfiltered unity. The contrast could not be more obvious. Washington may still be tangled in its own corruption, but the heart of the country beats strong and undivided. Trump’s presence at this historic event is more than symbolic—it’s a testament to his unbreakable bond with the American people. While his enemies try to destroy him with endless lawfare and media attacks, the people show where they truly stand. His reception tonight is proof that the connection between Trump and the nation he fights for has never been stronger. The cheers, the flags, the roaring applause—it’s a reminder that despite all the attempts to silence and control, the spirit of America cannot be extinguished. This moment is a glimpse into what the country can and should be—unapologetic in its patriotism, fearless in its unity, and unwavering in its belief in American greatness. The establishment may try to dictate the narrative, but the people have already spoken. Tonight, under the bright stadium lights, America is reminded of its true strength: its people, standing together, honoring their flag, and refusing to back down. It’s a sight to behold, and one that will not be forgotten.show more

Next up in the long line of right-wing media... figures lifting up Woke Right retards who waste our time, Patrick Bet-David just had on the spectacular retard Curtis Yarvin who said this idiot nonsense: America has always been a Leftist experiment. No it hasn't, except barely from the perspective of European reaction and counter-revolutionary thinking, which is part of what constitutes the European, but not American, Right. (I AM ONCE AGAIN TELLING YOU ALL THAT "LEFT" AND "RIGHT" ARE NOT ADEQUATE TERMS FOR POLITICAL DISCUSSION FOR A LOT OF REASONS, MOSTLY THAT THEY DESCRIBE LOCATIONS IN A PARTICULAR ROOM AT A PARTICULAR TIME AND NOT COHERENT POLITICAL PROGRAMS.) America is actually founded on a tradition completely alien and separate to either the "Left" or the "Right" as it is conceived of in the European mind. It is overwhelmingly something completely different that dispensed wholesale with all the idiotic Continental philosophies the European "Left" and "Right" relied upon. America was not "Leftist" because "Leftist" referred to Jacobinism specifically at the time of the Founding, in line with the thinking of Rousseau's esoteric French Romanticism, whereas America was founded on SCOTTISH COMMON SENSE. America's founders specifically REJECTED Jacobinism and built their system to reject and safeguard against it, but Jacobinism is specifically the thing called "Leftism" in the original context. If you go back to the National Assembly in France, where were the Jacobins? To the left of the king. Hence, "Leftism" for their philosophy and political program. Where were the Scottish Common Sense people? IN SCOTLAND AND AMERICA, doing something completely different and totally awesome, not in the room at all. If you look at what these guys were thinking, it was that Common Sense precedes all these idiotic European philosophical theories, but that the brain-genius philosophers of Europe were so smart that they got the relationship backwards. The Euros thought philosophy precedes common sense, but the Americans knew philosophy must begin with common sense or it's merely idle (and dangerous) speculation. The "Right," if we consider it the side that "resists the Left" (what a poor definition, but that's its definition, isn't it?), in revolutionary France was a motley mix of monarchists, counter-revolutionists, and theocrats. Those would be exactly the people Americans threw out and told to go f- themselves. The "Right," if we must use the term, in America is the side that defends the American tradition, which is based on Common Sense. Most Americans until quite recently were more or less mostly common-sense people in their general orientation to life, hence the long-standing saying that America is "a center-right country." That's what it actually means, outside of these dumb directional terms posing as political orientations. So, this is stupid. Just stupid, but look how much time and energy it takes to deal with the illiterate stupidity of a twelve-second clip pumped to a million viewers who don't have time, interest, background, or inclination to take it apart (because most of them are too common-sense to want to read all this crap but still tribal enough to fall for Yarvin's). Truly, it takes an order of magnitude (or two) more work to take apart bullshit than it does to produce it. Woke, both Right and Left, is such a waste of valuable time and always has been.show more

“CONSTITUTION HILL should retire” 🫠 He’s only had ONE... bad run in his career. 🙄 Yesterday Punchestown was that. He’s had two falls prior to that, but travelled well in both races until falling. The Champion Hurdle was too far from home to know how it would have played out, but at Aintree we knew he had some spark. What the falls have done to him physically (nothing shown by vets) or mentally more so I’m unsure, but he was just flat yesterday. We all have off days, all lose our confidence at times, but to write him off already is just wrong, IMO. If something comes to light and the call it quits then they are doing right by him, but let’s not forget he’s only 8 years old.. He was 10 / 10 prior to the Cheltenham Festival, with 8 x Grade 1 wins. 🔥 Bt JONBON 22 lengths in Supreme. Bt STATE MAN 9 lengths Champion. Bt LOSSIMOUTH 2 1/2 at Christmas. Bt EPATANTE 12 lengths Fighting 5th. All multiple Grade 1 winners! 🏇🏻 Let’s stop writing horses off so easily, and give this lad a break! ☹️ Yes, he won’t get the chance to be one of THE greatest… but he’s still great! 🖤🤍show more

Does LLM really need to be a helpful assistant... all the time? No. If you want to simulate people, “perfectly helpful” could be the wrong objective. Meet OdysSim, a journey toward LLMs beyond assistants, as behavioral foundation models (10B tokens of real human behavior; 23 sim benchmarks, finally in one place. new open models: outperform or on par with GPT-5.5, Gemini 3.1, or Claude Opus 4.7 in many behavior-sim dimensions). Human behavior simulation is becoming essential. Agent evaluation needs realistic users before real users show up. Medical and classroom training need realistic patients and students. Social science needs synthetic participants at scale. But real people are not ideal assistants. Real patients panic or ignore good advice. Real students misunderstand. Real customers are vague, picky, impatient, or simply leave. Human behavior is messy, diverse, and often imperfect. Frontier LLMs are getting better at math, code, and long-horizon tasks. They are NOT getting better at simulating human behavior. If anything, they drift the other way: more assistant-ish, more homogeneous, fewer of the errors and quirks real humans show. This is no accident. The whole pipeline is built for helpfulness and task success, not behavioral realism. And you can't prompt your way out of that. So we rethink the recipe from scratch and release: 🧠 The OdysSim corpus: 21.4M real human interactions (~10B tokens) from 62 sources, every conversation retrofitted with social grounding (who is talking, and why) 📏 SOUL-Index: 23 human-behavior benchmarks unified into one suite across 5 axes 🤖 OSim-8B: open weights; tops more SOUL-Index benchmarks than any frontier model, acts more like a real user than any of them on τ-bench (nearly matching real humans in the reaction dimension), and writes far more human-like text along the way.show more

The OriginTrail DKG V10 begins its mainnet rollout with... a Frontier-AI Resilience Gate. Today, the final V10 release candidate (the exact contract bytecode intended for mainnet) goes live as a public pre-mainnet, funded with 300,000 ethereum:0xaa7a9ca87d3694b5755f213b5d04094b8d0f0a6f tokens: a 200,000 TRAC honeypot pool of real, drainable positions plus a 100,000 severity-reward pool. Independent researchers and AI-augmented teams are invited to break it: drain the honeypot and you keep what you take, and every valid finding is paid by severity. It’s a real pass/fail checkpoint: findings are fixed and verified first, and clearing the gate is the precondition for the mainnet launch. The first step of the DKG V10 deployment, by design. Why lead with security instead of shipping and patching later? On May 29, 2026, a researcher using Claude Opus 4.8 surfaced a critical, roughly four-year-old soundness flaw in Zcash 🛡️’s Orchard pool (a bug that had passed repeated expert review) in about a day, with a working proof-of-concept. The moment matters; the trajectory matters more. Claude Mythos, Anthropic’s frontier model, is so capable at finding vulnerabilities that it was first withheld from public release and run only inside a defensive partner program, where it reportedly surfaced more than ten thousand high- and critical-severity bugs in its first month. It’s now days from a reported public release. The bar for what an attacker, human or AI, can find only rises from here. As Anthropic framed it, the advantage goes to whoever uses these tools first: attackers in the short term, defenders who fix bugs before code ships in the long term. The Resilience Gate is how we make sure we’re on the defenders’ side, testing DKG V10 not just against today’s models but against what arrives next. For anyone shipping on-chain systems, the implication is simple: this code launches once, mistakes can’t be undone, and the responsible move is to invite that scrutiny before any user value is at stake. The path to mainnet, in four phases: Phase 0: Freeze. Final contracts locked and deployed (complete) Phase 1: Frontier-AI Resilience Gate. Open review program, through June 17 Phase 2: Mainnet launch. Hardened, feature-complete V10 (week of June 15) Phase 3: Continuous audit. Every contract, ongoing after launch If you work in smart-contract security, or build with AI that does, we’d welcome your review. No allowlist, real rewards, coordinated disclosure. *Dates are indicative: the exact mainnet date depends on the pace of network bootstrapping and the time needed to patch and re-verify any more severe findings from the Gate.

The Clock Is Ticking: Why the Fed Must Cut... Faster Than Anyone Admits This is the invoice for keeping rates too high for too long. For more than a decade, the Fed made easy money on its bond book and sent steady remittances back to Treasury. That’s why the line sits flat. But when they slammed rates to 5% while still holding trillions of low yielding QE bonds, the whole machine flipped. Interest on reserves and RRPs surged, and the Fed started losing money in real time. Since the Fed can’t go bankrupt, it just stops paying Treasury and stacks the losses in a sort of accounting purgatory. That vertical drop roughly $240 billion is money the government will never see unless the Fed earns its way out over years. Why This Moment Is More Dangerous Than It Looks If everything else in the economy were humming, you might chalk this up to the cost of fighting inflation. But the backdrop is weakening in all the places that matter. Auto, card, and student loan delinquencies are climbing. Office real estate is deeply stressed. Credit scores are falling nationwide. Young workers can’t find stable footing. And the 2026 refinancing wall looms: trillions of government and commercial debt that must be rolled at rates far above the ones they were born into. This is the early outline of a demand slowdown and a potential debt deflation setup. High nominal rates in that environment don’t stabilize anything. They just make every dollar of debt heavier as incomes soften. That’s how economies quietly drift into deflationary spirals. Why the Fed Needs to Move Faster Than Anyone Thinks This is why they’ve already cut twice, why QT ends December 1st, and why they’re redirecting MBS runoff into T-bills. They’re trying to create just enough breathing room to prevent a funding accident while pretending everything is fine. But the truth is simple: the longer they leave rates here, the more the real economy including households, banks, and the Treasury itself buckles under the weight. The narrative says slow, steady cuts. The reality is they may not have that luxury. If deflation is the real risk, they can’t wait for the data to confirm it. By the time it shows up cleanly in CPI, the damage is already done. The Fed needs to cut faster than consensus expects not to juice markets, but to keep the system from tightening itself through rising delinquencies, collapsing credit quality, and a refinancing wall that gets more dangerous with every month of high rates. The recent flattening in the chart is the first sign the Fed knows the clock is ticking. Either they bring rates down on their own terms, or the economy will force a far uglier adjustment later.show more

🚨🗣️New: Luis Suárez reacts to Uruguay’s arrival in the... United States for the World Cup, where the squad faced sniffer dogs and rigorous security checks: “I’ve been in football a long time, and I’ve seen tournaments all over the world. But what we’re witnessing here with the USA hosting this World Cup is deeply concerning. Take the Uruguay team arriving — world-class players like Manuel Ugarte, standing there with arms folded, looking utterly bewildered as sniffer dogs go through their bags like they’re common criminals. That image says it all. These are ambassadors of the game, not suspects at the border. This isn’t hospitality; it’s humiliation dressed up as security. You’ve got a Somali referee, one of Africa’s best, denied entry despite a valid visa — a man who dreamed of officiating at the pinnacle of his career, turned away at the airport. African and South American delegations facing extra screenings, visa chaos for fans and officials from qualified nations. This is the ‘land of the free’ rolling out the red carpet? It feels more like a fortress with razor wire. The beautiful game deserves better than being turned into a political football or a paranoid checkpoint. FIFA chased the dollars — and there are billions to be made, no doubt — but they’ve sold the soul of the tournament to a host that treats global football stars and supporters like potential threats. Meanwhile, American taxpayers and host cities are left holding a bill running into hundreds of millions for security and logistics that FIFA largely pockets. Football has always been about unity, passion, and bringing people together across borders. Right now, under this hosting, it’s being strangled by suspicion and overreach. The world is watching these scenes and cringing. If this continues, it risks leaving a bitter taste that lingers far longer than any on-pitch glory. We needed a celebration of the game — not a showcase of division. Something has to change.”show more

AI Is Moving Beyond “Generating Videos” — Toward “Generating... Worlds” Over the past two years, AI video models have advanced at an astonishing pace. From Runway and Pika to Sora and Veo, AI-generated videos have become increasingly realistic and more consistent with the physical laws of the real world. Many people believe the next objective is simply to generate videos that are longer, sharper, and more lifelike. But if we take a step back, we can see that the real transformation is not happening in video itself. It is happening in world models. What Is a World Model? In 1943, psychologist Kenneth Craik proposed an idea that would influence artificial intelligence research for decades. He argued that the human brain does not merely react to the outside world. Instead, it maintains an internal model of how the world works. Because we have this internal model, we can predict the outcome of an action before we actually take it. Before crossing a road, we estimate whether a car will pass by. Before catching a ball, we predict its trajectory. These abilities come from continuously simulating the world in our minds, rather than relying entirely on trial and error. This idea later became known by a more formal term: World Model. A world model does not describe a single image or a fixed video clip. It is an internal representation capable of continuously simulating the rules and dynamics of the real world. Why Is AI Research Turning Toward World Models? Because predicting “what comes next” is becoming increasingly central to how AI systems work. Language models predict the next token. Image models predict the next step in the denoising process. Video models predict the next frame. A world model, however, attempts to predict something broader: What should the world look like in the next moment? In 2018, David Ha and Jürgen Schmidhuber proposed in their paper World Models that an intelligent agent could first learn a model of the world, and then use that internal model to plan its actions. The Dreamer series later demonstrated that many complex tasks could be learned by training agents inside an “imagined world.” At the same time, the development of video models such as Sora and Veo led researchers to another realization: A model capable of continuously generating video has already learned, at least implicitly, many of the rules governing the real world. As a result, these two research directions have gradually begun to converge. But Video Is Not Yet a World This is where the distinction is often misunderstood. For a world model to support meaningful real-time interaction, it must solve several critical problems. Most video models today are essentially answering one question: What should the next frame look like? A true world model needs to answer much more: What happens if I take one step forward? If I walk behind a building and then return, will the building still be there? If I suddenly change the camera angle, will the entire space remain consistent? If I enter a command such as: “Summon a dragon.” Will the world respond immediately? In other words, a world model must do more than generate content. It must understand space. It must understand time. It must understand causality. And it must understand interaction. Moving from watching to participating is where the real difficulty of world models begins. World Models Are Entering the Interactive Era One of the latest attempts in this direction is Alaya World, recently open-sourced by Alaya World, or Alaya Lab. Instead of generating a fixed video clip, it generates a world that users can explore in real time. Users can begin with text, an image, or a video, enter the generated scene, move freely through it, and introduce new prompts at any moment during generation. The world responds immediately. According to the publicly released information, Alaya World provides: Real-time streaming generation at 720p and 24 FPS Stable continuous exploration for more than one minute The ability to switch prompts and trigger skills or events during generation Model weights and inference code released under the Apache 2.0 License Training code and datasets planned for future release What makes these capabilities important is not simply the technical specifications. It is that the generated “world” can now support continuous interaction. The official demo shows that users can genuinely control, transform, and explore the generated environment. AI Is Evolving From a Tool Into an Environment Over the past few years, most discussions around AI have focused on content generation. Generating text. Generating images. Generating videos. But world models raise a fundamentally different question: Can AI generate an environment that people can inhabit, explore, and continuously evolve? If the answer is yes, the impact will extend far beyond video generation. Game development, robotics training, embodied intelligence, digital twins, virtual production, and many other fields could be transformed by the development of world models. World models are still at a very early stage. Yet from Craik’s proposal of an internal mental model more than eighty years ago to the emergence of today’s interactive world-generation systems, a clear evolutionary path is beginning to take shape. Perhaps what AI is ultimately learning has never been limited to images, videos, or language. Perhaps it is learning the world itself. References GitHub: Technical Report:show more

I am in the church of American consumerism. The... fact that I'm telling you this probably tells you what store I'm in. It isn’t a Tesla store. Think bigger. Way bigger. That you have to show your club card to get in. Just like if I say, "What kind of shoes was Tiger Woods wearing?" you probably would get that right too. What other brands have such a strong memory in everybody's head? I remember my boss taking me to Price Club back in the 1980s. Which is what Costco used to be called. “Don’t tell anyone about this place. It will put us out of business.” The family store I used to work at is gone. If you talk to a Tesla fan all you need to say is “triangle” and we know exactly which vehicle you are talking about. At the Tesla Oasis, which is in the middle of nowhere in California north of Los Angeles, the solar panels are at the same angle. Why I notice these things? I have hung out with brand designers and storytellers at the highest level. Oakley treats its designers as better than everyone else. It has special equipment that deposits a layer a few atoms thick as glass and plastic. That is how it gets to reflect light in such a colorful way. If you see them you know they are Oakleys. Can’t wait for a pair to come out from some tech company that basically say to everyone “yes I am wearing a camera.” Whoever turns that negative into a club will have a huge moat. Like Harley Davidson turned its negative image into a brand that the Governor of Texas once talked to my partner about for more than an hour both with very fond tones. My friend says Cybertruck is a failure. I say that will be a very popular vehicle on Robotaxi. Just watch. Once you are inside for a ride you will understand. As for the glasses, Zuckerberg had plans long ago to have us play games with our friends in the street. That kind of club.show more

The Australian government does not deserve our trust, or... our respect. Today, Minister Penny Wong sat back in her chair grappling for words, desperately looking for the right lie to tell. It is worse than dishonest - it is an absolute lack of care. Penny Wong came to this country when she was 8 years old. She came to a country that afforded her the ability to become who she is, and she is now doing her part to destroy it. Back in the 70’s, when she came, Australia was a fair-minded place and a great place to be. Yet here she is... Here in Australia. Undermining our country and lying to our faces. Because she can’t tell the truth. Because if she did, it would destroy any semblance of care for Australia tied to her old party’s Labor brand. It would say the quiet part out loud. The truth. The truth that the Albanese government is more interested in the fortunes of the ISIS brides, women who chose to leave this country to go and fight against our people, than those of us that can’t find or afford a place to live here at home. I am tired of being told how to think by people that completely lack morals and couldn’t care less. People that are elected and paid to operate in the national interest but always put their twisted ethics and back pockets ahead of our nation and our people. I don’t know when Labor stopped caring about Australian workers or worse, when they started hating Australia, but they have and they do. The absolute lack of opposition, the lack of authentic choice has pushed us into a place where these absolute traitors to the interests of the people who pay them - goes entirely unchecked. We are careening out of control, unchecked migration, an energy grid that is just about to collapse, no industry to speak of, and no good reason to start or maintain a business in this place. It happened fast, but those of us who pay our taxes and take risks to make Australia a better place, are being undermined and white-anted by our politicians. The people we are forced to trust, and must pretend to respect, because they have the force of law on their side. Not because they are any good at their jobs. Not because they have earned our affection. No. Simply because they are in charge and there is little to nothing that can be done about it. It is becoming apparent that the two party system has outlived its useful life. Too much corruption, too many words too carefully chosen in a pantomime between to political forces that don’t really want to change anything. They just want to have their go, to have their turn to jam their grubby hands into the till. Surely with this major and catastrophic failure by the so-called Honourable Minister Senator Wong, the people will be able to see through the veil and into the absolute and irresponsible lack of care at the heart of this deceitful Labor government. They lie about everything, and they can, because they don’t have an opposition worthy of the title. I am growing more confident by the day that the only solution to our woes is a new political force, a fresh, Australia first force, that will act in the national interest and put all these corrupt and useless used-car salesmen red and blue in the dustbin of history. It can’t come soon enough. Time is short. I just want Australia back.show more

Sam Altman and Dario Amodei just got caught running... a $2 trillion scam on the entire world. The timing exposes EVERYTHING: Four days after OpenAI secretly filed for a $1 trillion IPO, Altman went on stage in Sydney and said he was "delighted to be wrong" about AI destroying jobs. Amodei reversed his forecast the same week. Anthropic is targeting its own IPO in October at a $900 billion valuation. Fortune called it coordinated and they're not wrong. But here's the thing... This was never a scientific forecast to begin with. In 2024 and 2025, both CEOs needed two things simultaneously - government attention and private investment. Apocalyptic predictions delivered both. When you tell senators that AI will eliminate half of all white-collar jobs, you get called to testify. You get taken seriously as a national security issue and get positioned as the responsible adult in the room who understands the danger better than anyone. And when you tell investors the same story, you create urgency. Urgency drives capital. Capital drives valuation. Amodei said 50% of white-collar jobs were at risk. Altman said entire job categories would vanish. Both said it repeatedly, in major venues, through all of 2025. Now they need something different. OpenAI is losing $1.22 for every $1 it earns. $14 billion in losses this year against $25 billion in revenue. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley are preparing the roadshow with the S-1 going public in late August. You cannot walk into a public market telling investors the technology you built is an existential threat to the economy. That is NOT a story Wall Street buys at a $1 trillion valuation. That is a story that triggers Senate hearings, regulatory intervention, and class-action lawsuits from every displaced worker in America. So the story changed. Altman's exact words in Sydney: "I'm delighted to be wrong. I thought there would have been more impact on entry-level white-collar jobs by now than has actually happened." Then he added one sentence that every financial journalist should have flagged: "It still may." So the apocalypse is just "rescheduled" - specifically to after the IPO lockup period expires. He took the L on timing, kept the vision intact, and protected the roadshow. And 115,000 tech workers laid off so far in 2026 - with Meta, Amazon, and Snap all citing AI as the driver - are watching the men who predicted their displacement announce they were WRONG about it, four days after filing to go public at a combined $2 trillion valuation. They sold the world fear to raise money, then switched up at the right time to raise more.show more

Murder, Transgenderism, and the Objective Standard of Satanic Evil... Ladies and gentlemen, let us strip away the smokescreens and evasions. We are not dealing here with a matter of opinion, preference, or private taste. We are dealing with evil—real, objective, and knowable. The modern skeptic loves to pretend that evil is subjective—that murder is a matter of circumstance, that mutilating one’s body is a matter of personal expression, that words like Satanic are nothing more than medieval insults hurled by the ignorant. This is false, cowardly, and beneath the dignity of serious men. The Catholic standard is not opinion. It is not relative. It is objective truth, revealed by God, reasoned by the Church, and confirmed by the bloody consequences of rebellion played out before our eyes. Murder is not a “choice.” It is not a “right.” It is the deliberate destruction of innocent life. Christ Himself declared the devil “a murderer from the beginning.” When children are slaughtered in schools, in churches, or in the womb, we are not witnessing a “social issue.” We are seeing Satan’s hand at work. Transgenderism is not harmless. It is not compassion. It is mutilation of the body, desecration of God’s image, and rejection of creation itself. To say “I can change my sex” is to spit in the face of the Creator and to echo the serpent’s first lie: “You shall be as gods.” It is anti-Christic at its core because it denies Christ, who is Truth and who is Logos, order itself. You may sneer and call this rhetoric. You may flatter yourself with relativism. But relativism is not sophistication; it is rebellion dressed up as philosophy. The Church has never wavered: murder and the willful defacement of God’s creation are grave offenses, condemned not by my opinion, but by eternal law. They are Satanic because they participate in the same rebellion that cast Lucifer from heaven and continues in every age to drag souls into hell. To call murder and transgender ideology Satanic is not an exaggeration. It is accuracy. It is fidelity to the truth that does not bend to fashion, ideology, or your skepticism. If this offends you, it is not because the standard is false. It is because you are standing against it. Evil exists. Its fruits are visible. Its rebellion is named. The only question left is whether you will recognize it and stand against it, or excuse it and be consumed by it.show more

10 things I can’t quit thinking about after ETHDenver:... 1. Convergence = here. Devner didn’t feel like an ETH conference, but more like an AI + crypto + TradFi + techno-philosophical conference. The convergence is true and real and accelerating. 2. Most corporate jobs suck ass. 40 years at a desk working on the same thing? Pure dystopia. We need fluid movement between passions, projects, people. DAOs are a massive step in that direction, but now AI is giving individuals the means to spin up their own massive businesses… there’s also this notion floating around that we can launch a product or contribute to a protocol or a DAO in a way that sets us up for life rather than slaving for decades at the golden teat of a paycheck. It's a massive win for human flourishing, passion and excitement. 3. oRaNgE cOIn. Bitcoin came up far more than I thought it would. Even $ETH ICO buyers/gigawhales talked about how bullish they are on it. The question is no longer whether $BTC will survive but rather how much exposure you should have. Orange coin has truly “up-leveled” or “transcended” to become something people simply can't ignore. 4. Founder quote that hit me like a truck: "We overengineered our project and under-engineered our story." In a world where AI flattens the app creation process, only your mindshare matters. (forgot to write down who said it 😅... chime in in the comments if you see this) 5. “Keepers of truth.” AGI will be able to fake literally anything. In such a world, blockchains become the “keepers of truth” bc they can be used to indisputably verify anything. This isn't just another use case. It means crypto will one day touch everything on earth. h/t Sreeram Kannan's talk at Open AGI. 6. Conference model = broken? Empty mainstage talks were the result of hundreds of side events that siphon off attention. This is happening more and more at every conf I go to. Not sure what the fix here is? Maybe the organizers should be way less centralized… rent a massive venue with tons of flexible spaces that can evolve in real-time… more Zuzalu, less CONTROL and top-down decisions. 7. Current blockchains r too dumb. AI must integrate more directly into the crypto tech stack. Ultimate vision is every hominid should be able to deploy whatever app they can dream up using natural language… this could lead to an giga-explosion of innovation and cool-ass experimentz. h/t Ritual and others 8. Crypto vs. Stripe API. Will we just give agents credit cards or will they prefer crypto wallets? One payment method can be censored. One cannot. Guess which wins? 9. $$$$ infusion. Dozens if not hundreds of projects around the world r sitting on massive treasuries bc they needed it as an insurance policy in case they had to do battle with the SEC. With the changing regulatory sitch, hundreds of millions of dollars (probably billies) can now be used to ship, build and accelerate. 10. Robots in chains? IRL robots made appearances at several events (one was drawing caricatures of passersby). Talked with frens about how we’ll bring them into our homes soon. That leads to crazy questions like “how do we keep them from getting hacked and killing us or blowing up like pagers?” “Will we be ok sleeping in the same room with them? Or will we lock them in the shed with chains?” Absolutely insane to think about… but productivity gains will overshadow all those doubts and human fears imo. De bots are coming whether you want them or not. I for one can’t wait to see zerebro embodied… in the meantime, I got to see him DJ his first show 👇🔥 Anyway, I'm sending love to all of you denverites, futurists, builders, dream dealers, and merchants of hope. Build something that makes this world better, freer, more beautiful and true✊show more
