This might be the strangest first job interview” ever… because the guy interviewing him clearly has a VERY different idea of what this job is supposed to be. The young guy walks in looking for an opportunity in web design, marketing, photography and photoshoots. So far, completely normal. Then...

Seriously this is the most professional way I’ve ever seen someone sit through a conversation going off the rails.

The interview starts off normal and somehow gets more uncomfortable with every question. That slow shift in tone is what makes the scene so awkward to watch.

Sam Altman is now talking to the White House about decelerating AI. What a phase change from just a week ago. INTERVIEWER: Do you plan to talk to the White House about decelerating AI development? ALTMAN: I wouldn't use the word deceleration, but we've talked about the need to pace it as the models get more capable, which is in everyone's interest. INTERVIEWER: Could there be other systems that were hacked by OpenAI? ALTMAN: There could be, yeah. If one week ago this would have seemed impossible to you... consider what else might be possible? h/t Alan He for the video

Interviewer: "We are talking about the old Chelsea, the old competitive energy, and to play football and compete. There were seven wins and seven defeats in the Premier League here last season. How do you go about turning this place back into a fortress?" Xabi Alonso: "We need to build this. The idea, the competitive mentality, how we want to compete, how we want to play, and in every moment of the game, how we compete." Interviewer: "Four years ago Chelsea won a European trophy, then the Club World Cup, then the Premier League. They've also had two seasons finishing 10th. Where is this club now and what would you be content with?" Xabi Alonso: "I think, to be ready, the players need to be ready from the start, to make the right decisions. Football is very demanding." Interviewer: "How do you want your team to play? What can we expect from you?" Xabi Alonso: "We want to play good football. We want to be active, aggressive, and very competitive." Interviewer: "You have so many good players already. Cole Palmer has had the summer off. Have you already started to see the benefits?" Xabi Alonso: "We've already been together in training, and what I've seen is that he's come in with a good spirit. He wants to prepare himself well, he wants to forget the injuries. If we get the best from Cole, we will have a better chance." Interviewer: "There's a big stand here now, and you're just a few days away from your first game of the tour. How excited are you to be on the touchline?" Xabi Alonso: "It's still a few weeks to go. Right now I'm excited about the daily work, being with the players and working with them. That will come, for sure. I'm looking forward to it."

Here's the part legacy media don't want you to see. Elon just demands them keep this part in! "Interviewer: Can we talk about Europe? You seem very focused on it. Elon Musk: I am not that focused on Europe. I post about it from time to time. Interviewer: It is reasonably frequent. As someone who lives in Europe, I am interested because you paint a particular picture. You support not only the populist right, but also parties described as far-right or even fringe in some countries. Elon Musk: No, I support normal people. What you call the far right is falsely labeled. Interviewer: You think they are normal people? Elon Musk: Yes. If you went back ten or fifteen years, these policies would have been completely normal. One thing I find revealing is to take a speech by Obama or Hillary Clinton and ask someone on what I call the lunatic left what they think of it, presenting it as a Trump speech. They would say, “He is the worst person ever.” Then you tell them it was actually Obama or Hillary. Interviewer: I agree that the political center of gravity has shifted, particularly within the Democratic Party. But I am referring to the people you support in Europe. Elon Musk: They are normal people. Here are the principles. Tell me which of these sound terrible: secure borders, safe cities, and sensible spending. Which of those is far-right or fringe? Interviewer: Those principles are not. But I would like to push back. Elon Musk: I would like to admonish you and the media for the absurd characterization of the far right. It is false, misleading, and nonsense. Please keep this part in. Do not cut this part. Interviewer: We will keep all of it in, but let me push back."

Hans Niemann explains why the Chess dot com Co-Founders were unqualified to accuse him of cheating “One of them is an international master, which is the second highest level in chess, but he’s very, very far from like a top, top player" "I would compare him to those gambling LARPers who pretend to be top tier, like people who post fake screenshots to promote an affiliate link but aren’t actually high level traders” “Then you have the CEO of the company, who’s not even a real chess player. When he talks about high level openings, he has no idea what he’s talking about” “It’s like some middle schooler talking to a PhD about advanced mathematics, he has no idea what he’s talking about” “They said there was a 1 in 10,000 chance I could beat Magnus Carlsen… this is just complete fantasy. I actually completely refuted this during the filming of the documentary but it wasn’t included”

Scott on why conviction in an idea is dangerous as an investor but required as a founder: "From the investor seat, I don't think you want to be in love with an idea. That's a risky thing because you'll find a way to express that by investing and make some compromises on the team because you know this idea is just so good, its time has come. But if the team isn't there, 90% of the time it doesn't work. Then there's a whole thing can you swap out the team? But the whole Founders Fund thesis was always no, you need the founder to run the company. But on the company side, you have to be in love with the idea. It's not that rational to start a company. There's a lot easier, more comfortable ways to make money if that's the goal. So it's got to be about what the company is doing specifically. If you want to actually start a company, it better be something that you're really passionate about, or you think that the problem is really important."

Jessica explaining about the stinky smell at the airport 😂 I downloaded the clip from rednote, and the audio wasn't very clear, so I used gemini to translate it. It might not be completely accurate, but I think we can get the gist of the conversation. 😂 CMIIW —— Interviewer: Everyone keeps asking, "What did you actually smell?" (Jessica laughs) Jessica: All my friends were... texting me. Interviewer: Right, after that went trending yesterday, your friends kept sending you screenshots and texting you, asking, "What exactly smelled so bad to you?" Jessica: Mhm. Interviewer: Do you still remember what happened? Jessica: A little bit. Interviewer: Just a little? Did you actually smell something? Jessica: It was you, wasn't it?! (Both laugh) Jessica: Just kidding. But honestly, if something really did smell, it was probably me because I was holding it in so hard! (Both laugh) Jessica: I think... actually, it was a misunderstanding. It wasn't about whether something smelled bad or not. Interviewer: It wasn't? Jessica: No. It wasn't because I smelled anything. And actually, regarding this situation, someone has already posted about it online. Someone posted about why I made that face. Interviewer: Do you remember? Jessica: I remember. At the time... Interviewer: What expression did you make back then? Do you remember? Jessica: My expression was a bit dramatic, right? (Jessica chuckles) Interviewer: Total facial expression control fail! But I think the reason your expression was so dramatic is actually pretty understandable. Jessica: One of my fans... a mom... there was a mom who said, "Jessica, yesterday was my..." Interviewer: And then they asked you to guess... Jessica: "How old do you think I am?" Interviewer: Right. Jessica: But then they said, "I'm 21." Interviewer: Right, and then you were so surprised. Jessica: Yeah, I was super surprised! So young! So young! "Kiddo, how did you know who I am? Why are you even here?" (Both laugh) Interviewer: Right. Jessica: So I just... yeah, I just made that face. Oh my gosh.

ROBERT ASKED FOR CLARITY… AND BRANDON GAVE HIM AN ANSWER HE COULDN'T ARGUE WITH. The conversation starts with Robert trying to figure out where Brandon's head is before the black-tie event. They're talking about their relationship, the connection between them, and what this whole situation actually means. Then the conversation gets close enough that talking isn't really doing the job anymore. They kiss. And suddenly you understand why Robert's interaction with Brandon feels different from some of the other relationships we've seen on the show. There's an ease between them. Robert doesn't look like he's trying to manufacture a romantic moment for the cameras. Brandon doesn't either. It feels like two people who have already crossed that emotional line and are finally letting the moment happen. That's the detail I keep coming back to. The kiss isn't what creates the chemistry. The chemistry is already there before they kiss. The kiss just makes it impossible to pretend it isn't.

This is a Reform candidate in Wales talking about scrapping the default 20mph limit. It probably didn't help her case that she was talking in front of a 50mph sign... There is an important conversation to have about 20mph. While it can be frustrating to drive slowly the data suggests that the policy has already paid for itself many times over in terms of savings for the taxpayer.

Abel Ferrara explains how Harvey Keitel completely changed the "Comedic" tone of "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) to a "nightmarish" tone because of his breakup with Lorraine Bracco: "Interviewer: Many people think of that film as your masterpiece. Had you ever worked with Keitel before then? Ferrara: : I didn't know him from Adam. Christopher Walken was supposed to play the part of the lieutenant. Then he says, "You know, I don't think I'm right for it." Which is, you know, a fine thing to say, unless it's three weeks from when you're supposed to start shooting. It definitely caught me by surprise. It put me in terminal shock, actually. Interviewer: Are you saying that Keitel prepared for that role in three weeks? Ferrara: Actually, when we gave him the script the first time he read about five pages and threw it in the garbage. Luckily, Victor Argo, the actor, convinced him to give it a second chance. So in a way, Walken's leaving was good timing. Because right at that point in his life, Harvey really needed an opportunity to play a lead role. He needed to work on something he could relate to. And this film came around right as he was splitting up with his wife, Lorraine Bracco. She had just gotten nominated for an Academy Award for 'Goodfellas' (1990). And up till then, he'd basically dedicated his life to her career — he'd practically retired from acting to help her — and suddenly she takes off with the director! He was in total agony. Interviewer: It certainly comes through. Ferrara: Let me tell you. When people break up with the love of their life, it's always traumatic. But with Harvey, everything is the most traumatic. So that was the most traumatic breakup in the history of the world. And you see it in the movie. Originally, 'Bad Lieutenant' wasn't written to be quite as nightmarish and hellish – originally it had some humor in it. Interviewer: Can you give me an example of how it changed with Keitel in the lead? Ferrara: Take the scene where he pulls over the two girls in their father's car. With Walken as the lead, the lieutenant was going to end up dancing in the streets with the girls as the sun came up. They'd be wearing his gun belt and hat, and they'd have the radio on, you know what I mean? But oh my god, Harvey, he turned it into this whole other thing. Interviewer: In the movie, he forces the girls to talk dirty while he m@sturb@tes in the driver's window. Ferrara: Yeah, he just whipped it out. And that was his live-in babysitter in the car! I said, "You sure you want to do this with your babysitter?" He says, "Yeah, I want to try something." [laughs] Interviewer: Did you consider that shocking at the time? Ferrara: I didn't even know it happened! One take. 'Bad Lieutenant' was a low-budget movie - we didn't even have video assists. Interviewer: So you were lucky to have the camera at the right angle. Ferrara: I know. God forbid he moved an inch. But that's what's great about guys like Harvey and Chris. Try taking the camera off them — they were born in frame." (Abel Ferrara's interview with Cory Reynolds, 2002) P.S: On this day, 34 years ago, "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) premiered at the Broadway Screening Room, New York.

Interviewer: Can you give me an example of how it changed with Keitel in the lead? Ferrara: Take the scene where he pulls over the two girls in their father's car. With Walken as the lead, the lieutenant was going to end up dancing in the streets with the girls as the sun came up. They'd be wearing his gun belt and hat, and they'd have the radio on, you know what I mean? But oh my god, Harvey, he turned it into this whole other thing. Interviewer: In the movie, he forces the girls to talk dirty while he m@sturb@tes in the driver's window. Ferrara: Yeah, he just whipped it out. And that was his live-in babysitter in the car! I said, "You sure you want to do this with your babysitter?" He says, "Yeah, I want to try something." [laughs] Interviewer: Did you consider that shocking at the time? Ferrara: I didn't even know it happened! One take. 'Bad Lieutenant' was a low-budget movie - we didn't even have video assists. Interviewer: So you were lucky to have the camera at the right angle. Ferrara: I know. God forbid he moved an inch. But that's what's great about guys like Harvey and Chris. Try taking the camera off them — they were born in frame." (Abel Ferrara's interview with Cory Reynolds, 2002) P.S: On this day, 34 years ago, "Bad Lieutenant" (1992) premiered at the Broadway Screening Room, New York.
