Our paper on Subliminal Learning was just published in Nature! Last July we released our preprint. It showed that LLMs can transmit traits (e.g. liking owls) through data that is unrelated to that trait (numbers that appear meaningless). What’s new?🧵

A trusted Capcom insider, as shared by Dusk, has provided detailed information on several major upcoming projects in development: >The Devil May Cry 1 remake is currently in active development, marking the first full remake of the original game that launched the stylish action series. >In June-July 2022, Capcom held an internal meeting to determine the next steps for the Resident Evil franchise, during which green lights were given for remakes of Resident Evil Zero, Code Veronica, Resident Evil 1, and the new entry RE10. >Each project uses internal codenames: Project Chambers for the Resident Evil Zero remake, Project Fallen for the Resident Evil 1 remake, and Project Redlife for RE10. >The Resident Evil 1 remake has been in pre-production since 2022-2023 and has recently entered full production. >Claire Redfield has been confirmed as the protagonist of Project Redlife (RE10), positioning her as the central character in the next mainline numbered entry. >Both Resident Evil Zero and RE10 are confirmed to be built on Capcom’s latest REX Engine, the same technology powering recent high-fidelity titles in the series. >In 2022, the same year as the key internal meeting Capcom shut down multiple high-profile fan remakes of Resident Evil Zero, Code Veronica, and Resident Evil 1, suggesting the company was protecting its official plans. >Ada Wong will appear in RE9 DLC (a detail independently corroborated by Dusk), with indications that more than one story-focused DLC is planned. This information fits Capcom’s strategy of methodically remaking earlier Resident Evil while expanding the mainline series.

THE GLOBAL FINANCIAL SYSTEM JUST BROKE IN TOKYO Japan’s 30-year bond yield hit 3.41% today. That number means nothing to you. Here’s why it should terrify you. Japan owes 230% of everything it produces. It’s the most indebted nation in human history. For 35 years, they kept the lights on by borrowing at near-zero rates. That era ended this morning. Here’s What Just Happened Core inflation is running at 3.0%. Government bond yields are spiking to levels not seen since 1999. China just conducted its 25th military incursion near Japanese waters this year. Japan is now forced to spend 2% of GDP on defense … nearly 9 trillion yen annually. The Bank of Japan is trapped between two impossible choices: raise rates and trigger a debt collapse, or keep rates low and watch inflation destroy savings. They chose door number two. Why You Should Care Every major bank, hedge fund, and institution on Earth has borrowed yen at cheap rates and invested it elsewhere for 30 years. This “carry trade” could be worth anywhere from $350 billion to $4 trillion. Nobody knows the real number because it’s hidden in derivatives. When Japan’s system breaks, this money unwinds. Fast. The last time we saw a preview … July 2024 … the Nikkei dropped 12.4% in a single day. The Nasdaq fell 13%. That was a small tremor. The earthquake is coming. The Math Is Simple! Japan’s government pays interest on $9 trillion in debt. Every 0.5% increase in rates costs them $45 billion annually. At current yields, debt service will consume 10% of all tax revenue. That’s the death spiral threshold. The yen is trading at 157 to the dollar. If it strengthens to 152, the entire carry trade becomes unprofitable. Unwinding begins. Emerging market currencies could drop 10-15%. The Nasdaq could fall 12-20% as funds are forced to sell. What Happens Next December 18-19, the Bank of Japan meets. Markets are pricing 51% odds they raise rates another 0.25%. If they do, volatility explodes. If they don’t, inflation accelerates and the problem gets worse. There is no way out. Japan’s fiscal dominance is now permanent. They must keep the yen weak to service their debt. This means the free money that powered global markets since 1990 is ending. The Bottom Line Interest rates worldwide are going up 0.5-1.0% permanently. Not because of inflation. Because the world’s largest creditor nation can no longer subsidize global growth. Your mortgage, your car loan, your credit card … all repricing higher. Stock valuations built on cheap money … all compressing. The everything bubble … all deflating. This is not a recession. This is a regime change. The largest liquidity engine in financial history just seized up, and most people won’t understand what happened until their portfolios are down 30%. Tokyo broke the world today. You’ll feel it tomorrow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Read the full data driven deep dive article -

.@charli_xcx’s music catalog has been surging in streams this summer, thanks to her album Brat. In the Feb. 2-8 tracking week (before releasing the album’s lead single, “Von Dutch”), her catalog tallied 4 million on-demand official U.S. streams, according to Luminate. In the latest tracking week (July 26-Aug. 1), her catalog raked in 48.99 million streams. That’s a 1,106% gain. A number of factors have contributed to her surge: a viral TikTok dance trend for her song “Apple”; a co-sign from @KamalaHarris’ presidential campaign (@KamalaHQ) that began after Charli tweeted “Kamala IS Brat” on July 21; and new remixes with @lorde and @billieeilish. Take a look at Charli XCX’s weekly streams since February 2024.

BART spent $90 million on new fare gates. They're recovering about $10 million a year in fares. That's a 9-year payback on paper. The actual return hit in six months. Embarcadero station went from 112 hours of corrective maintenance in the six months before installation to 2 hours after. Daly City saved 109. Balboa Park saved 75. Across the system, 961 hours of cleanup work disappeared. Corrective maintenance is the term BART uses for graffiti, heavy soiling, vandalism, the damage that needs a crew not a janitor. At several stations it dropped to zero. Crime fell 41% year over year. Riders who reported seeing fare evasion on their trip dropped from 22% to 10%. Citations issued by BART police went from 2,200 in January to under 1,000 in July, because there was nothing to cite. The gates were a filtering project disguised as a revenue project. Old BART gates were waist-high orange fins designed in the 1970s. You could hop them in under a second. That made the station effectively a public space, and the rider mix reflected that. The new gates are 72 inches of polycarbonate with 3D sensors that detect tailgating. You either pay or you don't enter. Once you don't enter, you also don't smoke on the platform, sleep in the elevator, or harass other riders. BART tried hiring more police for years. Blitz operations at high-traffic stations. Increased patrols. Dedicated transit cops. None of it moved the numbers the way six feet of polycarbonate did. The $10 million in recovered fares is the smallest line in the return. Fare revenue used to cover 70% of BART operations. After the pandemic it collapsed to 22%. The gates won't fix that gap directly. They fix the precondition for fixing it: a system that office workers, families, and tourists are willing to use again. Ridership growth at stations with new gates outpaced ungated ones before the rollout finished. A $400 million annual deficit is heading to voters in November as a sales tax measure. Voters don't approve sales taxes for transit agencies they don't feel safe in. The $90 million on gates is buying BART the right to ask the public for more money. That's the real return on six feet of polycarbonate.

lou gehrig benched himself. on may 2 1939, halfway through a season, the iron horse who had played 2,130 games in a row took himself out of the lineup for the simple reason that he was getting too slow at first base. that day was the last he ever played in the major leagues. gehrig signed with the yankees at 19. he was so broke growing up that he didn't have proper equipment. one $1,500 bonus check later, he was the cleanup hitter behind ruth in the murderers' row lineup. he hit 23 grand slams. nobody beat that record for 81 years until alex rodriguez did it in 2013. he was the first american league player to hit four home runs in a single game. june 3 1932 against philadelphia. only 18 players have ever done it. he played hurt and never told anyone. medical records on him later revealed 17 separate healed fractures in his hands. he never missed a single game for any of them. what nobody at yankee stadium knew on july 4 1939: gehrig had been examined at the mayo clinic 15 days earlier. the prognosis was als, and it was unforgiving. his speech that afternoon wasn't fully recorded. only fragments survived in newsreels. what got remembered was the line he closed with: 'today, i consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.' his uniform number was retired that same afternoon. number 4. it was the first number ever retired in major league baseball history. they invented the practice for him. he passed 23 months later in his bronx home. june 2 1941. he was 37. the condition has carried his name for 85 years.
