Europe’s founders need a European standard to compete globally from day one. Europe’s leaders committed to delivering one. But their teams are negotiating away the very things that make it one. There is still time to change course if Europe's Heads of State step in now.

The year is 1897, horseless carriages are denied permission to be on roads by Washington D.C. The year is 2026, people are trying to deny driverless carriages on the roads of Washington D.C.

🚨 Elon Musk has finally complied with the demands and provided the list of shareholders of X Holding Corp who helped purchase Twitter. And who do you think turned out to be investors in the X platform, besides Islamists and Trump's lobby? That's right, Petr Aven and Vadim Moshkovich. Now it is absolutely obvious where Musk's love for Russia comes from. 🙄‼️ Let me remind you who Aven and Moshkovich are. Petr Aven is a Russian billionaire and founder of Alfa Group, which is one of Putin's main financial backers. This man is completely controlled by the Kremlin. Aven is one of Putin's oldest friends. In fact, without Petr's intervention, Putin would have ended up in prison instead of becoming president. After all, Aven covered for Vladimir Putin in 1992, when Putin organized illegal trading in export licenses. Aven also attended a meeting with Putin on February 24, 2022, marking the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine. ‼️ Vadim Moshkovich is a sanctioned Russian agricultural billionaire who was a member of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. In other words, he officially belonged to Putin's innermost circle. Moshkovich owns Rusagro, Russia's largest agricultural holding company. ‼️ Another interesting figure is Al-Waleed bin Talal Al Saud, who appears on the list of investors no fewer than three times, both personally and through his company, Kingdom Holding Company. This man continues his investment business in Russia and privately supports Hamas in its war against Israel. In his investments in Russia, he regularly cooperates with Rosneft, Lukoil, and Gazprom. ✅ Everyone was wondering how it was possible that Twitter (X) shares were falling, advertisers were terminating contracts, and nobody was doing anything. After all, this was causing direct financial damage to investors. But everyone overlooked the fact that the investors did not care about profits. They needed the platform to promote their narratives, such as supporting Putin and Russia, lobbying for a freeze of the war in Ukraine, pushing Ukraine-related issues out of the top news stories, justifying Hamas's activities, and so on. 😳

"The International Criminal Court is where victims of the gravest crimes—from Gaza to Ukraine to the Philippines—can turn when their own governments will not act, and where even heads of state can be made to answer. The Trump sanctions are designed to close that door, and to punish anyone who helps keep it open."

Trump would sacrifice Ukraine for his corruption. He has implied that the point of allowing Russia to sell diesel is to lower fuel prices for Americans, trying to deceive voters into thinking that "the cause of high prices is Ukraine and not his own war of choice in Iran." But "the amount of fuel that Russia could export is too small, the impact on pricing too slight." This looks, instead, like an "attempt to force Ukraine to surrender and to save the Russian economy, perhaps in order to finally complete the multiple business deals that the Russians are known to have discussed with American negotiators and others in Trump’s orbit."

Trump’s promised $5,000 post-midterm checks would cost $1.2 trillion, more than the entire Pentagon budget. Add that to his previous promises, and the total is $2.2 trillion.

In JEPA, are we preventing collapse in the representation we actually use downstream? TLDR: not necessarily. A high-rank projected representation does not guarantee a non-collapsed backbone. λ-JEPA is designed to target this gap.

(1/7) I'd like to provide some additional context for the remarks that can be found in this interview. (2/7) My discomfort with the attention being paid to existential risk---and with the ongoing dominance of the public discussion of such risks by a few so-called thought leaders---is that there's an elephant in the room that is being missed. That elephant is the effect of all of this discussion on young people, and indeed the effect---beginning with social media a decade ago---of information technology on young lives broadly speaking. (3/7) I recently read an interview by Jill Lepore in which she reports on discussions that she had recently with a group of college students: "They had just three things to say. One, social media completely destroyed their childhoods. Two, AI is destroying their college education and their likely prospects for employment. And three, what the hell are we all doing?" To add a fourth bullet that I've heard in similar discussions: "I'm not going to have children, because the existential risk is just too high." (4/7) Please contemplate such a statement, those of you who think that it's OK that the public, widely diffused, discussion coming from seemingly authoritative figures is so adamant about existential risk. (5/7) Let me add that I have little interest in a debate about what "superintelligence" might mean, or whether we're currently seeing the emergence of superintelligence. For what it's worth, I would certainly agree that the solution of extremely challenging math problems (for example) exhibits a very impressive form of intelligence, although I would want to argue that such intelligence is impossible to dissociate from the collective of humans that provided data to the machine learning system (which itself has become a kind of collective). (6/7) Such philosophical debates are entertaining and even important, but when they then head in the direction of "when such superintelligence emerges, there's a good chance that it will want to kill all humans", I say "science fiction". Again, I don't think that it's bad to consider such thoughts, but I strongly believe that it's bad for society, and especially young people, for such thoughts, unaccompanied by any serious real-world analysis, to become a dominant form of discourse of the era. (7/7) We are damaging human lives, and the consequences of that damage will no doubt be a major theme of the next several decades.

Check out our new paper on getting a SOTA harness for Automated Theorem Proving! The "bitterest" part of our lesson, perhaps, was that we wanted to demonstrate benefits of asymmetric self-play for harnesses, and each time we could improve the baseline harness to be better. This is how we ended up with h1, a great simple baseline harness, as our bitter lesson :)

The idea that we have to fully understand something to use it or make it safe is fundamentally absurd. Bread makers of the past didn't know yeast existed but they used it like masters and shaped the world. Einstein said "we don't know one millionth of one percent about anything." Life still goes on. We form complex societies and structures. We have medicines that cure terrible diseases not because we understand the deep inner workings of every protein but because bold people tried things and experimented and found a way forward despite their relative blindness. This is the way of the world. We have to build out societies for the bold and the builders and the spice traders and the people who take risks and create a better world through the infinite creative loop of life. Never give in to the people who would slam the breaks on the world and built our lives around fear and phantoms. The fearful have never contributed anything to great story of the world other than noise and suffering. And they often enable the very things they fear by creating societies of violence and rigidity and madness in an attempt to stop imaginary future disasters. Nothing can stop the infinite creativity of Man. Except fear.

Trump is begging to be impeached again. "He hasn’t done anything as singularly transgressive as Jan. 6. But in a real sense, the second Trump administration is no less than an authoritarian conspiracy against the constitutional order — a Jan. 6 by other means, including a whole-of-government effort to subvert the midterm elections and preclude any prospect for true democratic accountability."
