Save this 14% return strategy for the 2030 World Cup Smart traders spotted an inefficiency on the World Cup Winner market and made a 14% return on any size with almost no risk I’m sure there’ll be a similar opportunity at the next WС. So you should learn this strategy now It's not arbitrage. Not a bond. It's just a mispricing The logic is simple: one of the 14 favourite teams will win. And none of the bottom 20 will pull off an upset At this WC, buying shares for all 14 favorites cost just 86%. Traders didn’t have to wait for the final because only favourites remained by semi-finals. That 86% naturally became 100%, and they took their 14% profit I love this because the crowd never changes. People will always chase an underdog story, completely breaking the real odds Bookmark this tweet rn. Return to it two months before the 2030 World Cup to print money on this exact strategy

🗺️ Even frontier GPT-5 succeeds on just 14.4% of real-world spatial tasks. A new benchmark goes beyond staring at a static image and exposes how weak AI agents still are at active spatial reasoning. Title: SpatialWorld: Benchmarking Interactive Spatial Reasoning of Multimodal Agents in Real-World Tasks URL: 📝 Overview SpatialWorld measures whether multimodal LLMs can solve tasks by actively exploring 3D environments from a vision-only, egocentric viewpoint. It unifies eight different simulators across indoor, outdoor, and digital-game settings under a shared protocol, and evaluates 15 frontier models on 760 human-annotated tasks. The agent gets no prior map and no reference solution; it has to look, move, and decide on its own. ❓ Challenges Solved Prior spatial-reasoning benchmarks relied on passive evaluation via static VQA or pre-recorded video. That can't capture the interactive spatial understanding the real world demands, where an agent must move its own viewpoint to gather visual evidence and replan on the fly under partial observability. There was a large gap between recognizing a static scene and actually moving through an unfamiliar space to get a task done. 💡 Methodology & Proposed Approach ・The task is framed as a vision-only POMDP (Partially Observable Markov Decision Process) ・The agent receives only a natural-language goal and a single native-resolution egocentric RGB image, with no depth, maps, or semantic metadata ・Actions are issued through a high-level text interface covering navigation, viewpoint control, object interaction, and task completion ・It integrates eight backends: indoor (AI2-THOR, ProcTHOR, VirtualHome), outdoor (CARLA, EmbodiedCity), and digital games (Block3D, Snake3D, Rubik's Cube) ・Success is judged by whether the final terminal state satisfies the goal, not by matching the trajectory, and is validated by human annotators ・Beyond success rate, it measures step efficiency against human reference trajectories to surface inefficient behavior 🎯 Use Cases It offers a unified, fair way to evaluate the spatial abilities of home robots and autonomous agents before real-world deployment. It can systematically diagnose where long-horizon tasks that combine navigation and manipulation break down, serving as a rigorous testbed for improving spatial-reasoning models. 📊 Experimental Results ・Across 15 frontier models, physical-task success was 14.4% for GPT-5, 12.2% for Qwen-3.5-397B, 9.2% for Gemini-3.1-Pro, and 9.2% for Kimi-K2.5 ・On digital games, Gemini-3.1-Pro led at 39.0%, followed by GPT-5 at 36.4% ・By complexity, interaction-only tasks averaged 50.2%, navigation-only dropped to 8.6%, and combined navigation-and-interaction collapsed to just 4.2% ・Models with similar success rates showed very different efficiency scores, revealing heavy reliance on trial-and-error exploration ・Model rankings shifted dramatically across environments, with no single model dominating every category #AIAgents# #SpatialReasoning#

BREAKING: Europe is facing a historic birth collapse. • EU: 3.46 million births vs 4.81 million deaths in 2025, a natural loss of 1.35 million people. • 21 of 27 EU countries recorded more deaths than births. The EU’s population growth came entirely from migration. • EU fertility fell to a record-low 1.34 in 2024, declining in 24 of 27 member states. • Germany: 654,241 births in 2025, the lowest postwar total. Fertility fell to 1.32. • France: Fertility fell to 1.56, the lowest since WWI. Deaths exceeded births for the first time since WWII. • Italy: Just 355,000 births vs 652,000 deaths. Fertility fell to 1.14. • Poland: 238,000 births, the lowest postwar total. Deaths exceeded births by 168,000. • Czechia: 77,636 births, the lowest ever. Fertility fell to 1.28. • England and Wales: Births fell 1.6% in 2025, while fertility dropped to an estimated 1.39. • Scotland: Births reached their lowest level since records began in 1855. Fertility hit a record-low 1.25. • Austria: Births fell to a 25-year low. Fertility hit a record-low 1.30. • Switzerland: Fertility fell again to 1.28 in 2025. • Greece: 68,467 births vs 126,916 deaths. • Malta, Spain and Lithuania recorded the EU’s lowest fertility rates: 1.01, 1.10 and 1.11. • Spain still recorded 122,167 more deaths than births in 2025, despite a small rise in births. • Finland: Fertility rose slightly to 1.30 in 2025, but remains far below 1.87 in 2010. Replacement level is roughly 2.1 children per woman. Europe’s demographic crisis is no longer limited to just a few countries.

I'm a cardiologist. For the first time in modern American history, more people get high every day than drink every day. 17.7 million Americans now use cannabis daily or near-daily — versus 14.7 million daily drinkers. Thirty years ago it was the reverse, ten to one the other way. A Carnegie Mellon analysis of 40 years of federal data confirmed the flip. We are running a civilization-scale experiment in real time. And I don't think most people have looked honestly at the science, because it's become culturally impossible to criticize weed without sounding like a narc. So let me be the doctor who says it plainly. This is not the mild plant of the 1970s. Then, cannabis was 1-3% THC. Today's products run 15-25%, and concentrates — dabs, vapes, wax — hit 70-90%+. When people say "it's natural, it's harmless," they're defending a product that no longer exists. We didn't legalize the old plant. We industrialized a far more potent one. Here's what the strongest evidence actually shows, and I'll keep it to what's real: The developing brain is the real casualty. The Dunedin study — following 1,000 people for decades — found that persistent cannabis use starting in adolescence was associated with a lasting decline of several IQ points that didn't fully recover after quitting. The prefrontal cortex, the seat of judgment and impulse control, is still wiring until about 25. Heavy THC during that window appears to leave a mark. The psychosis link is not fringe anymore. Daily use of high-potency cannabis is associated with roughly a 3-5x higher risk of psychosis. A major European study found high-potency products alone accounted for a substantial share of new psychosis cases in some cities. This is one of the most replicated findings in the field, and it's the one people most want to ignore. And cannabis use disorder is real — up to 3 in 10 users develop some degree of dependence, higher when use starts young. "You can't get addicted to weed" is simply false. Now the honest caveats, because I won't overstate to make a point. Correlation isn't proof — some of the psychosis link may run both directions, with vulnerable brains drawn to heavier use. Cannabis has genuine medical uses: chemo nausea, certain seizure disorders, some chronic pain. A moderate adult using occasionally is in a very different category than a 16-year-old dabbing daily. And alcohol and tobacco still cause vastly more total death. This isn't "weed is worse than everything." It's "weed is not harmless, and the dose has changed." Here's my concern as a physician watching the culture. We swung from "reefer madness" hysteria straight to "it's basically a vitamin," and skipped the honest middle entirely. The truth is that a high-potency daily habit — especially in a young brain — quietly lowers the ceiling. Flattens drive. Blurs the sharpness a person needs to build a life. If you're an adult who enjoys it occasionally, that's your call. But if it's daily, if it's high-THC, and especially if it's anyone under 25 — the science is asking you to reconsider. Go outside. Sweat. Build something. Sleep hard. Stay sharp. The clearest mind in the room is about to become the rarest one. Make sure it's yours.

Senator Dan Sullivan is doing a fantastic job representing the Great State of Alaska! Prior to becoming a very distinguished and Highly Respected Senator, Dan served as State Attorney General and the Commissioner of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources.   Dan is a GREAT man, has ALWAYS delivered for Alaska (which I won three times by BIG margins in 2016, 2020, and 2024!), and will continue doing so in the U.S. Senate. No one has done more for Alaska than “TRUMP,” including just securing 11 new Arctic Security Cutter Icebreakers, the first such ships bought in more than 40 years, and Dan Sullivan has been with us all the way. He is fighting hard to Grow our Economy, Lower Taxes, Cut Regulations, Help Secure our VERY Secure (Record Setting!) Border, Champion our Incredible Military/Veterans, Advance American Energy DOMINANCE by helping to keep the price of Gasoline, Oil, and all forms of Energy VERY LOW, and Defend our always under siege Second Amendment.   Because of the trickery in the Voting, the Crooked, Radical Left Dumocrats have put up another man named “Dan Sullivan,” and they did this to take Votes away from our Great Senator of the same name. Democrats are trying to “trick” Alaskans, and treat Alaskan Voters with contempt. On Tuesday, August 18th, Alaskans, don’t be fooled. The Senator you want to vote for is:   “SULLIVAN, DAN S. — REGISTERED REPUBLICAN/INCUMBENT”   “SULLIVAN, DAN S” has my Complete and Total Endorsement for Re-Election – HE WILL NOT LET YOU DOWN! President DONALD J. TRUMP ( TS: Aug 14 2026, 5:36 PM ET )​​​​​​​​‍‌​​​‌‍​‌‌‍‍‌‍​‍‌‌​‌​‍​‍​​​​‌‍‍‍‍‌‌‍
