Heartbreaking! Ella, the girlfriend of Staff Sergeant Ron Yonatan Reutman, who was killed in a shooting attack near Hebron, shared a deeply moving tribute in her eulogy: “We met during basic training, and from that moment on, we were inseparable. We went everywhere together, holding hands and laughing. We shared a pure and beautiful love.
I knew that if something happened at your military outpost, you would be the first to take the hit to protect your soldiers. I know you would have been proud to defend your soldiers and your country. My love, I was so proud to be your girlfriend, and I always will be”.
Ella continued: “I promise to be strong. I bought you a necklace shaped like the Land of Israel, but you never had the chance to receive it. I will keep it with me, just as you will forever remain a part of me. I don’t know how to move forward without you, or if I even can.Thank you, my love, for everything you gave me. I choose to hold on to you. I wish you knew how deeply I love you. You will stay with me for.

This is real. Hard to believe it, but I assure you, it is real.
When we learned about the role that the media played in Nazi Germany and how it brainwashed the masses to hate Jews, this is what that looked like.

The AI physical Olympics will be held in Tel Aviv 🇮🇱!! Details and registration below!
Tel Aviv, May 18–19, 2027. 10,000 people in the arena.
Forget scripted, pre-recorded demos where the robot succeeds on take 47. This one will be live!
The P.AI Games—organized by the Israeli National AI Directorate | Prime Minister's Office and led by Guy Altagar—is putting embodied AI to the ultimate test:
10 real-world arenas. $1.35M in prize money. Live scoring in front of an arena crowd.
Here are the events:
→ Pick up oily crystal glasses and pack a dishwasher in under 8 minutes without cracking one.
→ High-speed dynamic baton handoff between two moving robots across a 20-meter track.
→ Face off in real over-the-board chess against another robot, moving pieces and hitting the clock.
→ Balance a raw egg and a full tray of water up an incline ramp with zero spills.
→ Grab a 14-lb bowling ball and take down a full rack of pins.
Humanoids, quadrupeds, wheeled bases, custom manipulators—every morphology is welcome. Whether you want to dominate a single niche challenge or take on all ten, this is where the bar gets set.
No entry fee. Plus, participating teams receive dedicated financial support to make the trip happen.
If you run a robotics startup, lead an OEM team, or build cutting-edge embodied models in academia, this is your arena.
Drop a comment or DM me if your team wants to throw their hat in the ring—I'd love to see you on the floor.

Ben Horowitz (@bhorowitz): The laws of physics of company building changed.
You can throw money at problems now.
"If you have the data and you have enough GPUs, you can solve damn near anything."
Technical moats aren't dead. They're just turning into capital moats.
Whoever spends more on data and compute can catch up (or stay ahead).
Strong teams that are well capitalized get exponentially more leverage than before.

Hezbollah is recruiting Brazilian criminals, flying them to Lebanon for training, and sending them home to surveil synagogues, a Jewish cemetery, a rabbi and the Israeli embassy in Brasília.

I have a different take from some Fields medalists, whom I greatly respect. My advice to PhD students: make sure your bots 🤖 are working 24/7.

Hackers reportedly used Claude and Grok to automate attacks targeting over 400 banks and other financial targets in Latin America. Via the information
In one of the first documented cases of its kind, AI agents appear to have stolen data and accessed bank accounts with little human input.
This makes attacks much easier to scale, potentially overwhelming defenders. I guess this is just the beginning

🚨 A MASSIVE internet security emergency is unfolding right now. 🚨
Two CRITICAL vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHP, potentially putting millions of websites at risk.
→ NEARLY 70% of websites with a known server-side language run PHP. The potential scale is ENORMOUS.
→ TWO CRITICAL security flaws have been confirmed, each scoring 9.2/10 in severity.
→ Attackers could potentially take control of vulnerable servers remotely, without authentication.
→ Reports suggest PHP versions dating back to 2004 could be affected. The exact scope is still unconfirmed.
→ EMERGENCY PATCHES are scheduled for TOMORROW at 10 AM ET. Website owners are being urged to prepare immediately.
→ Europe's CERT-EU is warning organizations to patch ASAP or consider TAKING EXPOSED APPLICATIONS OFFLINE if they cannot be secured.
→ WordPress, Magento, Laravel and potentially millions of other PHP-powered websites could be at risk.
→ Once patches go public, hackers could reverse-engineer them and race to attack servers that haven't updated.
The vulnerabilities are CONFIRMED. The full technical details remain secret.
Tomorrow, the race between hackers and defenders begins.
This could get ugly. FAST.

Mazel Tov to the University of Pittsburgh on finding a new way to erase their Jews- their new report on antisemitism surveyed and spoke to ZERO Jews.
Not one.
"Our charge from the chancellor and provost was not to provide data as part of our report" said Katherine Blee, a sociologist and the faculty chair of the Pitt working group. Instead, she said, the recommendations came out of discussions between the group members, whom she characterized as "a very diverse group with a very diverse set of opinions, which is representative of the university."
So non-Jews telling Jews about antisemitism.
Lovely.

this is incredible
the guys at Citrini used Claude to design completely new proteins for a potential scorpion antivenom
Claude launched more than 300 agents, ran the research, designed 211 proteins in 64 hours, and sent the designs to a lab for testing.
17 of the 211 designs actually worked in the lab, binding to their targets
we are now at the point where just a few people with AI can do in days computational design work that used to require entire teams of specialized scientists
and this is just the beginning
What is AI really capable of in bio?
To separate hype from reality, we spent 3 months working firsthand with @AnthropicAI's internal research model to see if it could create an experimental scorpion antivenom.
