Block anyone you see claiming this is special in any way. Ostracize them. Cast them into the wilderness.
So I recently badgered my cinematographer @steveyedlin into making my ideal iPhone still camera app. It shoots RAW, bypasses the iPhone's look processing and instead uses the same image processing we use on our movies. apps.apple.com/app/apple-sto…

Jensen Huang: “… the founders of Higgsfield are visionary in the work that they do … but these are some of the brightest people in the world.” We're grateful to Jensen and the teams at NVIDIA and TCV for believing in us. Both companies have joined Higgsfield as investors in our Series B extension. Since our August Series B: • We’ve crossed $1 billion in annualized revenue. • Enterprise contracts are up 71%, growing 100%+ month-over-month • We’ve grown from 30 million to over 40 million users globally. TCV has backed Netflix, Facebook, ByteDance and Spotify, companies that changed how people create and consume media. NVIDIA has powered every generation of Higgsfield, from L40 and A40 GPUs through Hopper and Blackwell, with Vera Rubin next to meet growing demand. Thank you to our creators and customers for building with us every day, and to everyone at Higgsfield whose work brought us here. The full Bloomberg Announcement is linked below.

This contains a real quote from the guy who plays Borat and Ali G lamenting that “people are being portrayed as things that they are not”
Sacha Baron Cohen on suspicion that the calls for a boycott of his new film, 'Ali G: Who Iz I?,' are tied to his past support of Israel: "Well, I haven’t said anything about Israel. I think people are being portrayed as things that they are not on social media and it’s problematic. We are in a world where people can’t distinguish between facts and lies, and that’s something that I’ve spent a lot of the last few years trying to fix. For example, I co-founded a group called Stop Hate for Profit with the NAACP and Color of Change and the ADL and certain other civil rights groups to stop the misinformation and incitement of racism on social media. So, I’m not surprised that prominent Jews are being targeted. I knew that this was going to happen. The level of organization is surprising, but this is a trend of Jews being portrayed in certain ways and trying to be silenced." bit.ly/4BpPgkz

Still thinking about this…the post copy is 100% made up. Like…it’s just not reality in any way. There’s no “lefty new zoning law.” Just pure rage bait, fabricated out of thin air. Just really sucks.

Insane to see people with things like “GitHub’s most popular PowerShell utility” in their bio say some of the most ignorant stuff you’ll find on this website.
So why can't I run any of the "good" models on a 32 GB Video Card that costs $5000? Yet, the frontier is going to "clone itself" to smart devices... GTFO.

If Eric Wareheim doesn’t lampoon this dunce at least one single time then we have truly and finally failed as a nation.

For all the whining about “China winning the AI” race, there sure are a lot of American companies proudly promoting their use of open source Chinese models. Why not a @googlegemma fine tune, @brian_armstrong? Do you hate America?
We were able to fine tune an open weight model (Qwen3.5-9B) on proprietary internal data at @coinbase, and it out performed frontier models, at much lower cost and speed, for a specialized task (fraud prevention in this case). I think we'll see more of this pattern inside companies. The frontier models are amazing generalists. But increasingly you'll see specialist models out perform on more narrow tasks, either working on teams, or by themselves. We're making it easy to fine tune models internally for our employees. We even have a skill for it in our internal harness that makes it easy to spin these up and start training them: "/fine-tune-and-serve-llm I want to fine-tune Qwen for payments risk review. help me get started" I imagine we'll have some backend services that could be replaced entirely by this new architecture.

Qwen is amazing by the way, I <3 Qwen and Alibaba and everything they’ve done for open source AI. Gemma is also great. It’s just funny to me when companies like Microsoft and Coinbase show off how much they love Chinese AI models when the overwhelming narrative is “China bad.”

The question nobody is asking: Does Claude have a butthole?
Anthropic: Claude has a soul Leo: nah Anthropic: please say Claude has a soul Leo: nah, here’s a book length explanation why that’s not true Anthropic: we’re pretty sure Claude has a soul Leo:

"I'm just saying he has a talent for rhetoric, which is just true." A sampling of that "talent for rhetoric" from just the last few months.
Yes I'm aware: He's been making the same point I've made covering the right for about a decade. It's not that he's original, I'm just saying he has a talent for rhetoric, which is just true. And I'm not a "centrist."

The leaves are starting to change but I still hear cicadas buzzing. Thus, it is still summer.

Twitter polls are usually completely useless, but this one…wow. Legitimately chuckled after seeing the results.
We've seen lots of polls about the popularity of Trump I wonder how it looks like on Twitter
47%Hate Trump

Hey more evidence Jay Feely doesn't care what women think 🤨
1. Jay Feely, a former NFL kicker and a GOP candidate for Congress in Arizona, has made “protecting women’s sports” a centerpiece of his election campaign. So I reviewed years of Feely’s podcast appearances to see what he actually thinks about female athletes. 🧵

Hell yeah, can’t wait to trip while I’m walking in with arms full of grocery bags and impale my torso onto the fountain jutting two feet out of the floor pond in the foyer.
In a lot of developing countries the peak of aesthetic taste seems to revolve around living in a hotel lobby for some reason:
