I find it wild that Physical Intelligence robotics models can work at all given that they only have a 1 second context length. As the robot is moving around a room and cleaning up a table, it only sees the current timestamp of images from the cameras (plus the... text description of its task). I asked Sergey Levine was how this model can work at all. If a human had to execute a many minutes long plan in order to accomplish a physical task, but had her memory reset every second, there's no way she could pull it off But somehow just knowing what state the world is literally in this moment is all you need to know to keep a reasonably complication plan going? Sergey's answer calls on Morevac's Paradox, and I thought it was quite interesting. Full episode out tomorrow!show more

Adrian Lyne on what made "Unfaithful" (2002) interesting: "I remember on 'Unfaithful' (2002), there was a feeling from the studio at that time that they had to have a bad marriage in order for the relationship to work. But there would’ve been no drama in that at all. What was interesting was the fact that it was a good marriage and she had no reason at all to f**k around, but she did. So I like the arbitrary thing of that." (Adrian Lyne's interview with Todd Gilchrist, AV Club, 2022)

I invest in a lot of entrepreneurs that I don't like but I respect. I respect them and the only thing I care about is executional skills. The ability to say, "All right this is what I'm going to achieve this month" and then execute on it. When they hit their bumps which they all do, because whatever their plan was is not going to work, they have the ability to pivot. That what I look for.

"I worked for the Speaker of the House. I worked for the President of the United States. One of the things you learn in those jobs is that ultimately no one is fully in charge of anything, and the world is very, very complex. I would read in the Washington Post how Republican leaders had all these plans and they were going to pull things this way or that way. And then I'd get to work and to say that no one had a plan would be a gross understatement. No one had any idea what was going to happen that afternoon. The idea that in a free society somebody is pulling the strings and someone has a nine-step plan and you're just a pawn in it is just very, very implausible. Our society doesn't really work that way. Our elites now are not ultra-competent. You can say a lot of things about them, but I would not say that we have ultra-competent leaders of any institution. I can see the appeal of wanting to believe that it's all a false flag or a plan. But when you actually see the system work—it's both good news and bad news—but nobody's in charge of everything."

🚨David Friedberg: AI is starting to identify and solve problems on its own “I'll give you a science corner example: there's this Evo 2 model that they publish at the Arc Institute, which Patrick Collison, you know, is the main funder and chairman.” “So that Evo 2 model, they just ingested all the DNA data they could find in the world.” “Trillions and trillions of base paired data that they ingested and then they looked at patterns in DNA. And that's it.” “They had no context for what the DNA represented, they had no context for the concept of genes, none of the structured understanding of what that DNA does, what it is, and you know what it did?” “They fed in the BRCA gene variant and the thing output a warning saying, ‘I think that this is a pathogenic variant to DNA,’ without having any context.” “This is the breast cancer allele.” “And it didn't have any knowledge and it wasn't trained on that at all.” “It had no knowledge that there are pathogenic variants for cancer, and it identified that this was a genetic variant that can cause some sort of pathogenic outcome in the organism.” “That's a great example where there's a lack of understanding at the human level on what really drives some of the patterns in nature, the patterns in society, the patterns in behavior that are kind of emergent phenomena perhaps, that these AI models are starting to identify.”

THIS WOMAN SEEMS TO KNOW AT LEAST A COMPARTMENTALIZED SECTION OF THE TRUTH: I find it very interesting that this woman talks about the contracts with what she calls the "Greys" existing, but what I find extremely interesting is how does she know that this contract expired? I have only released that information recently and I am the only whistleblower that has ever said that I even gave the time when it expired and why. And it originally was with one of the 11 types of Grey species; ETE-1. In light of that, I find This woman's story to be credible. And in the context of her father, I would have to assume they once he found these documents he called her or text her and told her but he found them and he would be leaving with them. Otherwise how would she know? The accident could have been a coincidence, maybe not. But I find her story to be extremely credible because she knew something that no one else knew before I released it. Take a listen;

Blake Edwards on the conditions he laid out before accepting to direct "A Shot in the Dark" (1964): "'A Shot in the Dark' (1964) is nothing like Marcel Archard’s play, that’s for a start. I was asked to save the situation. They had quite a bit of money involved in this project. Peter Sellers was threatening to pull out because he didn’t like the screenplay. He said that the only way he would continue with the project would be if I took it over. I said that the only way I could possibly take it over, under such emergency conditions, would be that I would not be obliged to do anything like Archard’s play because a) I didn’t like it, b) I thought it was not a motion picture and c) I wasn’t ready to make a movie at that point. So they asked me what I wanted to do because the picture had to start in something like four weeks. I said that if they wanted me to save them, I’d have to take something with which I was familiar to begin with. I was familiar with the character of Clouseau. I needed a detective, somebody to solve a murder. I couldn’t throw the whole thing out. I had to use the idea that the maid was accused of killing the chaffeur and this had to be solved. So I thought that Peter Sellers was just the natural thing and that now I was going to try to be as broad with the character as I could be. “How far can I go now in terms of Inspector Clouseau?” I wrote the screenplay and was on the stage in four weeks with it. Fortunately, it turned out to be a reasonably funny movie. It proved something for me—that if a gag is well-designed you can pull it off." (Blake Edwards' interview with Jean-Francois Hauduroy, Cahiers du cinéma, 1966) P.S: On this 62 years ago, "A Shot in the Dark" (1964) premiered in New York City, USA.

#ต้าห์อู๋ #Daou #Oueiija 🦖: There was a music festival in Pattaya, and I brought my Mama along. Lately, I have been bringing my Mama to work a lot. And I felt like booking the best hotel for her to sleep in, so I did. That day, she kept looking at the view from the hotel, and I saw her reaction. She said, “Mama has never slept in a hotel like this in my whole life. Mama has been working since the age of 14, performing Chinese opera to provide for the family. I never thought I’d have something like this. Never thought I’d have a beautiful home or get to ride in nice cars.” And it resonated with me, especially since Pa passed away. When Mama says things like that, (it is) true. What I had planned was just one (more) year until Pa and Ma could retire… (but) it was too late. Even if it was just one year or one day, it was too late. Success can wait for tomorrow, (but) if they are not there tomorrow, then it is too late. So, I felt like, “Hey, when can I make her happy?” To be honest, the new house that I built for her, where she can do this and that, is finished. The renovations are all done. The cats have moved in. (She?) has a role as the pillar of the house. So, I feel that the car… I had bought one before, but that time, I had to thank the fans. But this time, it came from (my own) hard work. I want it to be something that makes Mama happy. I know that I bought a car, and she can’t drive it, but I want her to see that I am starting… I want her to see that I have succeeded.

This was awesome. I got the opportunity to describe to Rick Rubin how I make Founders podcast: “Steph Curry was asked: What do you think of when you're taking a shot? And he said: Absolutely nothing. I’ve had people ask me how I choose what to highlight. What are you thinking of when you're doing this? And my response is: Nothing. I just read and if something jumps out to me I don't think at all, I just underline it. And then I'll go back through and reread all my highlights. And if that part is still interesting, it was interesting the first time, now it's interesting the second time, it's probably interesting to other people. There's 10 million mes out there. I'm not unique. And there's no way that if I read this line twice and found it interesting that if I read it on a podcast that somebody else is not going to think it's interesting too. If I overthink it or if I think of “oh this person might hear it” or “oh this many people will hear it” that gets in the way. I'm thinking of nothing.”

Former #Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau, via OverDrive, on Elias Pettersson & J.T. Miller: "It is a problem, and I knew they had a little bit of a problem between them before I got there, but I thought that was all straightened out and everything. So, I’m hoping it was a coincidence... "If there’s a rift in the locker room, it’s up to the coach in all of these situations. I know the coach is the easy one to move but it’s up to him to read the room, and if something is wrong, to fix it and to fix the room and bring the guys in and talk to them about it."

Peter Thiel gave a speech in a Hilton in 2010 that holds the keys to unlocking the source of many of America’s most severe problems. Key quote: “The task in this world… where politics has become so broken… is to find a way to escape from it. It’s not a way to fix it.” Palantir is currently tightening its grip around all of our data. Elon Musk is diverting untold billions into a Mars fantasy. All of the anarchist, antidemocratic ideas of the PayPal Mafia and the “Dark Enlightenment”—to use technology as an “escape”—were already well in process 15 years ago. —The internet as “alternate virtual reality” so you don’t have to “constantly convince people.” This is why he funded Satoshi (Bitcoin), MAGA3X (Pizzagate, Q), and pushed Musk to buy Twitter —PayPal (now blockchain/crypto/BTC) was to “overturn the monetary system” —“Escape” now more often referred to as “exit” —“Autonomous countries” now known as the “network state” JD Vance is a full member of the cult of the broligarchs. Unfortunately, this has been a very thorough coup and they have backup. It’s worth really absorbing what the living Antichrist, Peter Thiel, is saying here: “I don't think despair is the only answer. And I don't think, and it's because I don't think politics is the only way to go. And my thinking on this, you know, started to take a turn towards a more optimistic perspective in the mid to late '90s when I got involved in the tech boom in Silicon Valley. I ended up being the co-founder of a company called PayPal where -- and the initial founding vision was that we were going to use technology to change the whole world and basically overturn on the monetary system of the world. And, you know, we can debate on how much it succeeded or how little it succeeded. And there were parts of it that I think have worked, and parts of it were, you know, the jury is still out. But the basic idea was that we could never win an election on getting certain things. Because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without having to constantly convince people and beg people and plead with people who are never going to agree with you through a technological means. And this is where I think technology is this incredible alternative to politics. And, you know, there are a number of different technologies we can outline, but the task in this world where politics has become so broken and so dysfunctional is to find a way to escape from it. It's not a way to fix it. It is a way to escape. And there are, you know, a number of different options. I think the promising one of the 1990s and this last decade has been to escape onto the Internet and to sort of create an alternate virtual reality. Questions, of course, is still how does it intersect with the real world? There are, I think, escaping to outer space is a promise, although I think the space technology is not quite there. So I think that's sort of for the second half of the 21st century. I think we can try to, you know, create autonomous countries on oceans, underwater, all sorts of other spaces. But I think technology is the vehicle for how we should be looking to escape and move beyond politics as we find it today.”

Disruptors, we have something for you today. Something no human has ever seen before. In order for us to be in this dimension, there was a need for a physical form. It was the Lord of the Dimensions who was responsible for this task. Below is a peek at the master at work.

I don't know if this is a skit or the truth but he claims his mom gave him up at birth and this encounter was his second time meeting her. All I can say is that although hearing her and what she says is a gut punch to the soul...in time understanding that she at least gave you away to be loved because she knew she didn't have it to give to him from herself .

Chris Finch on his thoughts after the fight tonight “Two guys went at it and spill over to the crowd which is super dangerous . It kept escalating and escalating mostly from their side. I thought leading up to that the game was way too physical, I thought it was a little lopsided In its physicality. I thought it was bound to happen. We knew they were a super physical team, they hit you, they hold you all the stuff you want your physical teams to do . I just thought it gotten to a point where players were going to take matters into their own hands.”

On this day, 43 years ago, David Cronenberg's 'Videodrome' (1983) was released in the USA & Canada. Here is David Cronenberg explaining how he got the inspiration to make 'Videodrome' (1983): "'Videodrome' came out of two things, I suppose. The first was remembering, as a kid, watching TV late at night, and of course it was black and white television, and when all the regular stations would go off the air you could get these distant, strange stations that were probably all American. The airwaves would be quiet, so you could pick up and we had a rotating antennae, you know, so we could rotate the antennae on our house and get this stuff. But they were always very bad images, and they would fade in and out, and where they came from and what they were was very mysterious. That was many years before I was making movies, I was probably fourteen or fifteen or sixteen. Anyway, these create strange late-night channels, plus bits of Marshall McLuhan, plus I have no idea what, combined to the initial premise that someone been rented, but it had sand-blasted brick in the Toronto style and beams. And there was nothing in the room but a table, a chair and an IBM Selectric, that was it. It was quite a big room, and I was just in the middle of it and I would go there every day and write. And that’s where I wrote 'Videodrome', I can remember that, but I don’t remember any more of the details other than just the normal way that things accumulate around a central concept. receives images on his television set that are fascinating to him, and seem to have an element of danger which makes them more fascinating. I don’t even think I knew, at the time that I started writing, that I would be examining the influence of television or that I would create a character based on Marshall McLuhan [O’Blivion], none of that was really in my mind to begin with. And I can’t really remember how I proposed this to the guys at Film Plan. It was the same thing, you know, the tax money was coming in, they wanted to do another movie, Pierre David and Victor Solnicki. I remember renting a room right across the hall from where Ron Sanders was editing, it was downtown near the waterfront. It was in an old building that had been rented, but it had sand-blasted brick in the Toronto style and beams. And there was nothing in the room but a table, a chair and an IBM Selectric, that was it. It was quite a big room, and I was just in the middle of it and I would go there every day and write. And that’s where I wrote Videodrome, I can remember that, but I don’t remember any more of the details other than just the normal way that things accumulate around a central concept."

That was many years before I was making movies, I was probably fourteen or fifteen or sixteen. Anyway, these create strange late-night channels, plus bits of Marshall McLuhan, plus I have no idea what, combined to the initial premise that someone been rented, but it had sand-blasted brick in the Toronto style and beams. And there was nothing in the room but a table, a chair and an IBM Selectric, that was it. It was quite a big room, and I was just in the middle of it and I would go there every day and write. And that’s where I wrote 'Videodrome', I can remember that, but I don’t remember any more of the details other than just the normal way that things accumulate around a central concept. receives images on his television set that are fascinating to him, and seem to have an element of danger which makes them more fascinating. I don’t even think I knew, at the time that I started writing, that I would be examining the influence of television or that I would create a character based on Marshall McLuhan [O’Blivion], none of that was really in my mind to begin with. And I can’t really remember how I proposed this to the guys at Film Plan. It was the same thing, you know, the tax money was coming in, they wanted to do another movie, Pierre David and Victor Solnicki. I remember renting a room right across the hall from where Ron Sanders was editing, it was downtown near the waterfront. It was in an old building that had been rented, but it had sand-blasted brick in the Toronto style and beams. And there was nothing in the room but a table, a chair and an IBM Selectric, that was it. It was quite a big room, and I was just in the middle of it and I would go there every day and write. And that’s where I wrote Videodrome, I can remember that, but I don’t remember any more of the details other than just the normal way that things accumulate around a central concept."

Toni Collette had told her agent that she didn't want to do any more heavy, dark films and only wanted to do comedies, but she liked the "Hereditary" (2018) script so much she couldn't turn it down. Here is Toni Collette stating the above: "I was not looking to do a film like this. I had specifically said, “I’m sick of heavy, I don’t want to cry all the time at work anymore. I want to make some funny movies.” My agent called and said, “I know what you said, but you need to read this.” And he was right. I loved it. I mean, I don’t know if “love” is the right word—it was more of a knowledge that I had to do it. It was so brilliantly written, so original. All actors really want is an opportunity to go for it, and I was given that opportunity in spades." (Toni Collette's interview with Eliza Berman, Time, 2018)

"They put Trump in to get the control grid... [and he gets an] A+++. He's done a fabulous job... But... I don't think they need [him] anymore. That doesn't mean they're gonna get rid of him, but if they wanna get rid of him with Epstein, they can... by the end of the year...." This clip of Catherine Austin Fitts, a former Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, investment banker, and founder of the Solari Report (The Solari Report | Catherine Austin Fitts), is taken from an interview with Paul Buitink (Paul Buitink 🎙) posted to the Reinvent Money YouTube channel on August 3, 2025. ---------------Partial transcription of clip---------------- "So I think they put Trump in to get the control grid. And we have, at Solari, we have a collection that we update every week of all the things the administration is doing to build the control grid. And I have to tell you, if I had chosen Trump to get the control grid, and I was going to grade him on his performance to date, he gets an A plus plus plus. He's done a fabulous job. And I can't imagine another politician who could have done this much this fast "But if you look at what they've achieved, I don't think they need Trump anymore. Now, that doesn't mean they're gonna get rid of him, but if they wanna get rid of him with Epstein, they can. "So I don't know if he was using a lot in the campaign. I think Kash Patel was using it a lot, and I think Dan Bongino was using it a lot. "So here's who pushed it. And I didn't realize this until recently, because I was very early on in saying QAnon was a hope porn and ridiculous and not to pay any attention to it. But what I didn't understand was QAnon made a very big deal about Epstein and pedophilia and Trump secretly cleaning it all up. "And basically the Democrats were engaged in pedophilia and they were at the heart of Epstein and Trump was going to secretly clean it all up. So QAnon apparently made a huge deal about Epstein. And, you know, that is seriously, in my opinion, and I say this because I know many people trapped in it, you know, it's a cult, it's just a completely adult fairy tale, but they believed it. And so now that he's coming out and saying, oh, it was a hoax, you know, Epstein is a hoax, it flies completely in the face of the cult. So now we've got a really big problem. And I don't know why he didn't put it back in the box. I don't know why. "If the people who run the system want Trump out, they can use Epstein to do it. It will work, and they can get him out by the end of the year if they want."

Today I realized something absolutely with BitRobot Network You dont need to own a robot… to actually control one I was just sitting at my laptop and somehow I was moving a real robotic arm in real time At first I thought it would feel like a video game It didnt Theres a completely different feeling when you know this is happening in the real world not just on a screen Every movement matters. Every action generates data And then it hit me… This is how AI is learning to interact with the real world Not from code alone but from people like us Platforms like BitRobot are opening this to everyone No setup No cost No experience Just curiosity and the internet Someone sitting at home can now help train the next generation of robotics. The future isnt coming its happening right now. If you could control a robot right now what would you try first? 🤖👇

q. is there a moment that stands out though as as far as like a song coming together that was good for you? 🐰: well, I worked a lot on this song called “hooligan” and that song itself is… I don’t know when I first heard the track, I came up with the flow immediately 🐰: *sings hooligan* 🐰: I just thought of it so I got to work, and the track is so unique, so I might have just lucked into this, but hitman bang and the rest of the members thought it was so fresh and they all loved it! that felt awesome! and I didn’t know if this song would make it but it got picked, and that rocked! 😆😆
