There was a problem loading this video. This could be due to a temporary network issue or the video might be unavailable.

I realized we needed a quick and dirty tutorial video showing how to attach the upcoming sofubi wig for Smart Doll. This is the third mold iteration. While there is still room for improvement, I feel this version is finally at a point where it can be released. As... always, we still need to put it through a bit more testing and write the customary wall-of-text "why you should not buy this" post before launch. The wig is compatible with all Smart Doll heads, but please be sure to read the Before You Buy section before deciding whether it's right for you. One of the reasons we're exploring sofubi wigs is that the lessons learned will help us develop some of the more crazy anime hairstyles needed for upcoming licensed characters. Traditional fiber wigs are incredibly versatile, but there are some shapes that are much easier to achieve with a molded solution. Another benefit is that sofubi wigs are much easier to maintain than traditional fiber wigs. No brushing, detangling, or styling is required, which some folks may appreciate. Folks who don't like plastic hair, like the kind found on many figurines, probably won't like it. However, folks who don't like traditional fiber wigs may find this to be a happy middle ground. :-) #smartdoll #anime #bjdshow more

Some of you may agree with Bill Maher and some of you may not…but this is a must watch for us as a country. Its the “come to jesus” speech we all need. There is a point of no return and you lose the ability. It feels as if that is closer than we think.

How will we know if an AI take over is imminent? What are the warning signs? Connor Leahy: “Things will seem mostly normal, just… weird. Things will get weirder…and weirder… and then one day, we will just not be in control anymore. “There won't be a fight. There won't be a war. It won't be dramatic. It will just be that one day the machines are in control, and not us.” “The way I expect [AI take over] to feel is like, if you play chess against a grandmaster, it doesn’t feel like you're having a heroic battle against the Terminator…. it doesn’t feel like you're having this incredible back and forth, and then you lose... No, it feels more like you THINK you're playing well, you think everything is okay, and then suddenly… you lose… in one move, and you don't know why. This is what it feels like to play chess against a grandmaster, and this is what it's going to feel like for humanity to play against AGI. It won’t be some dramatic battle where the Terminators rise up and try to destroy humanity. No, it will be… things get more and more confusing. [Editor's note: Like Sam Altman, out of nowhere, raising up to 10% of world GDP?] More and more jobs get automated faster and faster... More and more technology gets built, which no one even quite knows how the technology works... There will be mass media movements that don't really make any sense... Like, do we really know the truth of what's going on in the world right now, even now with social media? Do you or I really know what's going on? How much of this is fake? How much of it is generated with AI or other methods? We don't know. And this will get much worse.” Imagine if you have extremely intelligent systems, much smarter than humans, that can generate any image, any video, anything, trying to manipulate you well...and being able to develop new technologies to interfere with politics.”

.Second Lady Usha Vance responds to a student's question about how to be the best Second Lady: "I think they key thing, for anyone who is in this kind of role, is to try to just continue to be yourself. You have to do the best job that you can. And there are some responsibilities that come with it...you don't always choose what you are doing...But the most important thing is to remember the kind of person that you were before it, and the kind of person you want to be. If you can do that all the way through, then you can have a lot of fun — and maybe be helpful. You don't want to just start thinking of yourself as the Second Lady, because then you're probably not that fun a person anymore."

Should Christian Nationalism and Catholic Integralism be taken seriously? Ben Sasse answers. “‘Should they be taken seriously?’ I mean, ultimately I think no — but I want to be humble about how and why we get there.” “Can people who are skeptical of a lot of Enlightenment assumptions be reasonable in making those cases? Of course. I'm pretty sympathetic to a lot of what the Enlightenment offered us in response to many of the things that had just come before. But that doesn't mean that the Enlightenment is at all a foretaste of heaven.” “I think there is a temptation right now to have an over-realized eschatology where people want to find a city that has foundations. ‘Right now, dang it, I'm ready to build it and I want it to be better and I want it now. And I want to smash the people who are in the way of it’ is tonally the way a lot of these folks talk.” “But philosophically, having a debate is one thing and claiming that they're doing practical politics is quite another. So I think it is important, without us, you know, trying to answer a lot of these questions, to at least acknowledge there are Catholic claims about integralism that a lot of Protestants seem to pine for and lust after without working through — what would that really mean?” “I just look at a lot of the debates of the last two months about women's suffrage and I just kind of want to shake my head and say, ‘Man, this is a weirdo online phenomenon.’ There is no chance on earth that any of these folks who are advancing some sub-varieties of Christian nationalism are actually thinking there's math by which they're going to end women's suffrage. And yet they talk like it. Because online, it seems really provocative to say things like that. And I don't really know what it's worth to linger on some of these silly online debates.” Watch: Listen:

Lee on Epstein Files: We’re not going to stop “bitching” about this. Why is somebody who has a lot of money able to buy this much protection? Why should you be able to get away with heinous crimes like this if you’re a president, a prince, or a CEO? People are tired of this country having one set of rules for some folks and another set for others. And that is fundamentally why this is the one issue that Trump has not been able to make disappear.

There are many great scenes in JJK and scenes like this... This to me is an eye sore. I know Sakuga Twitter love this shit or anything Mappa prints. So this isn't for you. You enjoy what you enjoy. But to me, this is a Mappa case of doing more then needed. This is the COD MLG videos of anime, over stimulation. An LOs wet dream because they can blast smudges, smears and low quality modeling for the sake of "it's moving so quick you don't need to notice or care" There are many instances of motion done right like OPM (S1) or Mob, because it's constant with storyboarding. The camera is having a seizure and the character model is all over the place it hurt my eyes in the cinema, and even on TV didn't seem to help. It's this type of Mappa I don't like. But... It's twitter, anything that's 500fps is classed as good, when there's more then frames that makes something good. I want to make clear, this is my pet peeve with Mappa, and not the JJK Episodes as a whole, just occasional moments that are becoming more frequent from them

The Idea of NHI on Earth. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ 🔥"The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified." ~Dr. Phil 🔥 "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious?" ~BZ to Dr. Phil (I'm so glad Bryce went there.) "There will be people...who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening." ~Mellon ~ Dr. Phil: "We know in the last 80 years there have been no overt hostile acts that we know about. That doesn't mean there could be things happening that are attributable to these forces that we don't know about. But, we certainly don't have any attacks that we can attribute to these UAPs or whatever." (Well, there's Colares in 1977. If that was non-human in nature, I'd say that qualifies as overt. And the Thomas Mantell incident in 1948 where he crashed and died after pursuing a UFO. Was that overt? Unfortunately, we don't know what happened and probably never will.) Dr. Phil: "And if the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, I think people can take some comfort in knowing that if they were gonna melt us with a ray gun or something of that nature, they've had ample opportunity to do that. "They may have been here 1000 years before we were here. Who knows what the situation is? But we do know that as long as we've been monitoring this and tracking it, there have been no overt hostile acts and I think people can take some comfort in that, and should." (See the work of Peter Levenda for a deeper look at that. "They might have been attacking us for centuries already, in ways that make sense to them... What if they are attacking us through the manipulation of consciousness? ~Peter Levenda More... ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ~ (I'm glad Bryce pushed back a bit.) Bryce Zabel: "They should. The only thing I would say is, if we're dealing with a non-human intelligence - or an NHI, as we like to say now - we'd have to assume that they think differently than us. So even in our own world, in the United States, we tend to think in four-year terms because of presidential terms, right? So you can't get something off the ground if it can't get done right away. The Chinese may think in 100-year terms when they think about Taiwan or whatever. "It's possible there are alien or non-human intelligences that think in a different time frame. If their time frame was 1000 years, then they could just be getting started. "And on the topic of the nuclear issue, which I share concern of. I mean, I think the nuclear issue means it is at least a national-security issue of some kind. Now, I've heard people talk about this, Dr. Phil, two different ways. Some people say, 'Well, you know, they're looking at our nuclear capabilities because they want to protect us from ourselves.' "Okay, that's great, I hope that's true. But the other would be: what do you do before you actually go to war with anybody, is you do reconnaissance. You try to find out what the other guy has. What are their assets? What are their capabilities?" (That may freak out some people but all angles should be considered.) Zabel: "So, I think the problem that we need to overcome in this country is getting to a place where we understand this phenomenon that we're encountering enough that we can at least start to figure out intent. What is the intent? "There have been people that have reported being abducted over the years. What's the intent behind that? Is it medical? Is it more nefarious? What is it? And so, we got a lot of work to do, and I think that's why I am so supportive of your current efforts because you're, basically, saying, 'Let's get started, people. Let's really take this seriously. Let's quit fooling around and stigmatizing people that want to take it seriously, and let's get to work.' But let's get to work as a human race. Let's start sharing what we know and let's make progress. That's where I'm coming from, too." (Bringing up abductions is important because it IS part of this discussion and it shouldn't be avoided. Kudos to Bryce!) Dr. Phil: "I saw a study that said 71% of Americans believe that there are aliens that have been or are in our earthly space. And it's interesting...I read that in one context, it said, 'Look, this is not going to be such a big deal if this gets verified.' "You know, there's one thing to say that in the abstract, like, 'Yeah, I think yeah probably there are.' It's a whole other different situation if you turn around and see somebody standing there. The gravity of it goes up a whole lot if it goes from the theoretical to the verified. (100%. That's my favorite part of the interview and it's so true.) Dr. Phil: "And I hope that we are going to put enough context around this, particularly knowing that there are segments of our population that are very vulnerable. There are some elderly folks that aren't up on technology and might be overwhelmed by the reality of this. "We have certain populations that might be easily disoriented or destabilized in the mental emotional fringes of the population. And I worry about those that are easily exploitable. You know, you need to get out of the urban areas, buy our buried school bus in the mountains, and you'll be safe forever. You know the con artists and the scammers are going to find every opportunity to prey upon those that are concerned and worried about this. "And I think we need to be prepared to take care of those that might be destabilized by this information that's coming out right now, we can't pretend they aren't there. We've made those mistakes in the past, like during COVID, for example. There are those that are more impacted than others, and we need to be prepared to handle that." Christopher K. Mellon: "We, recently, commissioned a study by a group of six psychologists, PhD psychologists, on this topic of how the public would receive this information. And it was generally very encouraging. And what they found was that the great bulk of the population, as they have in the past with other epical changes such as the Copernican principle, or evolution, or general relativity, it takes people a while to process this information. There's a period of resistance. But most people will get up, get out of bed, go to work the next day. They're not devastated, even though there's nothing quite comparable to this, perhaps." (There's no perhaps. A government or respected figure admitting that we're not alone on this planet would be unprecedented and there is NOTHING we can compare it to.) Mellon: "What the study did find is that there is likely, however, to be a subset of people, maybe 15% of the population, that are going to need some help. And that we are not necessarily prepared in our present state to provide that kind of assistance, and we need to be doing more to get ready for that." (If he's talking world population, that's about 1.2 BILLION people who are going to need some help dealing with this. Holy crap. 😬) Mellon: "And also, to work on the messaging. The messaging is so important, clear and consistent messaging from the government, trying to develop trust with the American people so that the information is is accepted and acted on." (For me, I want the whole truth more than the right "message.") Mellon: "A lot of the difference will be people who can't get their head around it, even though they really understand it. But because of their own belief structure, the architecture of their own belief structure, for some reason, in their particular individual case, it's particularly threatening or disruptive. "So there will be people who fall into that category, according to this study, who likely are going to need some some assistance to help deal with this because it is so far-reaching and for some people, potentially, very frightening."

Not sure if anyone has ever translated it, but here’s some of the messages which brought me to tears everytime I watch it. “All this while, you’ve probably been seen by others as a lucky person. But we, who care for you know all the grievances you've suffered and the sweat you've shed. What others may see as a luck is actually the result of you who always work hard and demand more of yourself than what others expected. When you win an award, you always thank everyone, but the person you should be the most grateful for is actually you, yourself. Your persistence and hard work is what enable us to see the best version of Lim YoonA. You once said that because of your fear/ concerns, you couldn’t help but to live a life like a model student and we who care for you are really heartbroken knowing that. It’s okay if you feel tired YoonA ya because when you look back, there will always be a group of people behind you who will never leave you. No matter where you are, we will always be there to protect you. Just like before, eventhough we were far apart, you can still feel us with your heart. No matter what you are uncertain about, don’t worry, don’t be anxious. You must believe in yourself, believe that our hearts are connected. We’ll give you all the courage. Our YoonA ya, you have to be brave okay? Don’t be afraid of the dark. From now on, let’s do well together.”

Puck's Dylan Byers says AI has become a priority for Hollywood, with every major studio exploring how to integrate it into production. "Every studio, even A24, is thinking, 'How do we incorporate AI into what we are doing?'" "The signal that those creators sent with films like Obsession and others is that [using AI in filmmaking] can be done and it can be successful. Does it mean that every human is going away? No. I think that most folks will find ways to incorporate [AI] in ways that do not significantly degrade the value of the content that they're making." "But I think the sky's the limit. Those examples have shown that this can be done and that there is more opportunity here than the folks who are clutching to Hollywood's past have realized."

lando: “this [improvement] is nothing that's going to happen overnight or in one week or two weeks' time. the gap was 50? almost a second lap off. some of that is still understanding the pu. some of it is just a better car. i think ferrari, from what we see quite clearly, have the best car. their cornering speeds are unbelievable. so for us to match that is zero chance at the minute, and we have to work very hard to understand things and learn as much as we can from this part of the season, because this part of the season now, sets up the rest of it basically. so the more we can learn, the more we can understand, the better it will be at the end of the season. but yeah, it's looking like it's going to be a long one, a tough one, but i was happy with p5 today”

🦖: I don’t feel anything (about the situation). It all started because of my fan and (the post) said “Why do gay tops like to wear Stussy?”. I felt like teasing them so I said “Because it is cool”. Then some people said “But with this style/appearance, you do not seem like a top”. When I express myself, no matter what I am, it is something that came out of my mouth. So I feel that when there are people who would judge, for example, when you stated, “you are a male”, but there is someone who says, “But you are not a male”. How would you know what that person is? isn’t that right? Regarding the topic of gender and preference in terms of your role during intercourse, it is a private and sensitive matter. Since you are not living with them, you have no reason to judge them on whether they are a top or bottom. I feel that we have no right to judge people on these matters. In 2025, everyone can choose who they want to be and in these times, the world is more open-minded. Anything can happen. This kind of thing is fluid and a very personal matter. 🦖: I feel that when it is a very personal and sensitive thing, there might be a certain group of people who are not be comfortable expressing that they are not straight. Besides not being straight, this also includes having to state their sexual preference or their role during intercourse. It is way beyond that. So I feel that if they are comfortable expressing who they are, but you just feel that their outward appearance does not align with what you think, and then you judge them by saying “But this is not right, this appearance should be a bottom. There is no way.” How would you know? Isn’t that right? OUROAD AT SIAM PARAGON #SiamParagonSummer2025xOUROAD #ต้าห์อู๋ #Daou #Oueiija

Hey guys, sorry for not being able to show you anything from the pilot yet. I feel like there are still some things that need improvement, but there will be news about it this week! I'd like you to help me share this animation that we worked on a lot last year #IndieAnimationDay

$this is now a much more accurate representation of the space and it still holds that GPT-5.4 is a bit more explorative it's now based on kamada–kawai layout instead of the default spring layout, and there are much more nodes and edges than before (still need to optimize it tho) but it's not close to all nodes or edges in the neighborhood, still only a tiny fraction the fuzzball is very dense$

This is chilling and uncomfortable. But, I get it. In a weird but compelling way, I get it. As a people, we move on. We move to the next headline quickly. We are shocked, we lament, protest, etc but eventually ... WE MOVE ON. This AI rendering of a story is morbid and uncomfortable... And even triggering. But, dammit, maybe this is what is needed. Evil gets shielded and protected by our need to not want to be confronted by truths that make us uncomfortable. How many stories of families hiding traumas and crimes of familial culprits because they don't want to expose the shame of umdeni? What does that do but protect perpetrators? Our discomfort about our reality can be a hindrance to accountability. The shame and discomfort should be reserved for the culprit. We are surprised how recidivism is so high in Mzansi, but we forget that we protect criminals' dignity more than the victims'. There is a lot that is cringe-y about AI and it should be regulated. This, though chilling, I feel it is a necessary evil if it will make Olorato and many like her not to become old news because today we have moved on to a new shocking headline. Remember her and live with the reality that you or someone you love and/or know may be next.

Marc Andreessen reveals the ultimate danger for entrepreneurs trying to lead like the greats. Before you try to run your startup by inserting yourself into every detail, you need to hear this reality check: "The thing you don't get is as follows, which is that... assumes you have somebody like Elon who can hold the entirety of every engineering topic and every business topic in their head all at the same time." "And so when you're sitting there with the 23-year-old engineer and you're working with them to redesign the database architecture or whatever, you actually are like qualified to do that. And that you're qualified to do that not just that one time, but EVERY time." It forces us to ask a tough question about the actual talent pool in tech right now: "This goes right back to the last topic we just talked about, which is like, OK, how many of those people exist who can possibly do that? And, you know, we know the answer is one." But here is where his perspective completely shifts... "I believe the answer is ten or a hundred or a thousand. I don't know if it's a million. I tend to think we have more of those people than we think we do."

“We went through a very dark chapter. But is that who we were meant to be? Is that what Rwandans wanted for themselves? Even if some people at the time wanted it that way, our responsibility today is to say: no. It is our history, but it is not who we should have been, and it is not who we should become. That is what liberation means. It means that, as Rwandans, we freed ourselves. You live for what you truly believe in, to the point where, if necessary, you are ready to die for it. That is where Rwanda stands today, whether some people like it or not.” President Kagame | Unity Club Meeting.

Naval Ravikant’s checklist for starting a company “The most important thing is there are no formulas. At the end of the day, you have to do what you love, and you have to do it even though people tell you it’ll never work. But that being said, if there was a formula [for starting a company], I would put it something like this.” Naval started seven companies before AngelList and this is the checklist he recommends running through before starting a startup: 1. Pick a great cofounder. This is most important: “You can do a company on your own, but it’s like you can raise a child on your own, but you probably shouldn’t. You need someone who’s going to be there with you.” This has it’s own checklist. Your cofounder should be: a. Very high intelligence (”hopefully they make you feel dumb, or they’re not smart enough”) b. Very high energy (”They should be extremely hardworking. A founder is someone who never has to be motivated. You should not have to be telling them to do their job.”) c. Very high integrity. (”a smart, hardworking crook who’s going to cheat you is the worst kind of person to be paired up with.”) 2. Pick a very large market. “Notice I don’t talk about the idea. I think ideas are almost irrelevant… The more important thing is that you pick a large space that you’re knowledgeable and passionate about. And then you will figure out what the right thing to do within that space is.” You want to be able to say to investors: “This is a space where there’s a huge market. I’m really knowledgeable and passionate about it. Here’s the great person that I have doing it with me. And here’s the minimum viable product that we have built. That will show that we can test in the marketplace… You iterate until you get to product/market fit… And then you go and you raise money from people you trust. And you use that money to scale.”
