🇪🇺 Chat Control has passed 😔 They can and will now legally scan any person's messages, emails and photos you send without a warrant The way they passed this law when the majority of the European Parliament was against it will shock you: They waited until most EP members were on holiday so only a few were present and then created an "urgent" vote for it to pass it through There's nothing democratic about any of it and big powerful forces are behind this that can manipulate the EU for whatever they want Democracy in Europe died a bit today 😔

NYC's electrical grid is under serious strain right now. We are well over 10GW usage and still a couple of hours from the peak. ConEd is reducing voltage is some neighborhoods. Everyone should do what they can to help conserve power.

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2. Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication. We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating. 🧵👇

Nearly four years on the run... and the search ended in Somalia. Federal authorities say they've captured Abdikerm Eidleh, an alleged central player in the $250 million Feeding Our Future fraud scheme that exploited a program meant to feed children during the pandemic. Prosecutors accuse him of helping organize sham food sites and fake vendors that pocketed millions in federal funds. The DOJ says his arrest proves fleeing overseas won't put fraud suspects out of reach. "We will continue working every single day to wipe out fraud across the country," FBI Director Kash Patel said.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

Wow. A Lancet study says Elon Musk will have killed 14 million people by 2030. Lancet is the world's top medical journal.

USA. A restaurant. I could not finish my meal, and I bowed my head in shame. Then they handed me a box, and I nearly wept. The plate had been enormous. I am a samurai; I do not surrender to food. But this was a siege, and halfway through I knew I could not win. I set down my fork. In my country, to leave food on the plate is to insult the rice, the farmer, the cook, and your own ancestors, roughly in that order. So I sat there, quietly making peace with my dishonor. Then the waitress smiled and said the most beautiful sentence I have heard here. "You want a box for that?" A box. To take it. Home. I went still. "You would save it?" I asked. "Yeah, of course. It's still good." It's still good. Three words my grandmother said to me a thousand times, across an ocean, in another language, over a bowl I was not allowed to leave. I had crossed the world expecting to find everything different here. And a stranger in an apron had just handed me my grandmother's exact heart, in a small paper container, without knowing she had done anything at all. I took the box. I held it like a newborn. I bowed to her, to the cook, and to the half a sandwich within, which would now live to see another day. That night I ate it by a window, slowly, the way you eat something that was nearly lost. It was, if anything, better the second time. Everything saved is. So now I order too much on purpose. Not from greed. From faith. Because I have learned that here, the same as home, a meal does not end when you are full. It ends when the box is empty. And the box is never empty the same day. Which means a good meal can last forever, as long as someone, anyone, still believes it is too good to waste.

A technical dive inside our new "Midjourney Scanner"

everyone at anthropic passed the culture fit interview of being ok if their stock went to 0 so clearly the leaks are sanctioned and they're just trying to appear relatable to win some public sympathy points

Another photo. This is the Orion capsule.

Keir Starmer requested a carveout from the embargo on Anthropic's Mythos and Fable models for British nationals and companies - and was denied. A senior White House official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the New York Post: 'We can’t have frontier models running amok'.

This is so insane😭😭😭

Name one thing Elon himself actually invented, and not just something from a company he bought
