Over 72,000 Years Ago Who Or What Built The North American Pre Ice Age Pipestone Walls And Dolmans? It looks like something out of the classic Flintstones Saturday morning cartoon. I looks like the hands that shaped these massive stones helped build the Pyramids or ancient Cusco. The granite itself cooled 73–78 million years ago. Any construction would have occurred only after millions of years of uplift and erosion brought the rock to the surface. The most frequently cited figure is about 12,000 years some researchers. Some state that after examining the walls and nearby dolmens, argued that the degree of destruction and burial is consistent with the catastrophic flooding that marked the end of the last Ice Age. In this view the walls were already standing when those events occurred and therefore predate the Younger Dryas interval (roughly 12,800–11,600 years ago). The absence of later cultural layers piled on top of the cyclopean blocks is taken as further evidence that no subsequent civilization reused or overbuilt the site. A more ambitious estimate comes from satellite deep-scan work associated with Andrew Barker and Julie Ryder’s team. They place some of the related features, including the Tizer Dolmen, at around 72,000 years or older. Because much of the complex is said to lie underground, the visible walls would represent only the latest phase of a far longer occupation. Writers in the Pleistocene Coalition circle extend the same logic, arguing that the region remained ice-free during earlier interglacials and could have supported megalithic activity tens of thousands of years before Clovis. Under this reading the builders would have belonged to a pre-diluvial culture capable of quarrying, transporting, and fitting multi-ton granite blocks with a precision that later peoples in the same landscape never matched. The walls would therefore stand as remnants of a North American megalithic tradition that ended with the close of the Pleistocene, leaving no successor civilization to inherit or explain them. That is the chronology that follows if the construction hypothesis is granted. Mainstream geology continues to treat the same outcrops as natural. Does it look natural?

Over 3 million addresses now hold tokenized real world assets. As the universe of onchain assets expands, it attracts a wider base of participants. That audience gives issuers greater distribution, creating the conditions for exponential growth. Tokenize the World.

Over in Sweden, 16 year old Juliette Vallius was out campaigning for the right leaning Sweden Democrats when a leftist politician threatened to murder her. "You're a Nazi. You know what we do with Nazis? We kill them." The leftist was unsurprisingly carrying a massive "Palestine" flag. This is where they are now. They will threaten to murder literal children. And the worst part is, they think they're the good guys.

Over the past few days, we have convened the world’s leading economic policymakers and business leaders here in Asheville around a common purpose of stronger growth. Every discussion brought us back to the same conviction: growth is the strongest foundation for durable prosperity. The private sector does not just participate in economic growth. It is the engine of economic growth. That is the approach the United States has brought to our G20 Presidency: a focus on results. And here in Asheville, we have delivered.

Over the summer, we have been sprinting on safety priorities; it's more important than ever for capabilities and safeguards to advance together. We have more to do but have made a lot of progress. We are also going to be launching our next model soon. There is an obvious tension here: on one hand, Astra is very good and we are excited to see what people will build with it. We are proud of our work. On the other hand, we are clearly in a phase of development where we believe caution is warranted, and we are pacing our progress to ensure that we can meet the safety standards required by new capability levels. Astra has been done training for a while now and is a significant step forward in both capabilities and alignment. For the models after that, we have been slowing things as needed to ensure that we can do sufficient work on safety and alignment. AI is getting extremely capable; no one fully understands the consequences of this. Managing the transition to a world with abundant and powerful AI to optimize for safety and benefits to people should be one of the highest priorities in the world. It is our highest priority at OpenAI. We have been living with the tension between being excited and anxious about progress for some time, and it is still discordant for us. We know it is much more discordant for other people. And yet, we believe strongly that the world needs to understand where AI is going and how models perform in the real world. More importantly, we believe the world will need aligned AI to manage the future phases of this transition. An iterative loop where society and this technology evolve together is what will lead to the highest chance of getting this right. So we hope you enjoy our new model, and we hope the world continues to take what’s happening in AI extremely seriously.
