AI actors audition for a role

Carney: The new world order will be built from Europe. Canada is the most European of non-European countries, and we are transforming our cooperation with the EU ... In a more dangerous and divided world, Canada has chosen to build and work in partnership with Europe.

Larry David has a new 7 episode sketch comedy coming to HBO called Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness. I’m a fan of Larry David’s work, especially Curb. I’ve always appreciated how Larry never takes himself, or life, too seriously. I’ll likely tune in.

NEW: Inside the 24-hrs before WH slapped export controls on Anthropic - Last Thursday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raised concerns about Fable jailbreak to Trump admin - Friday AM, Sean Cairncross, Bessent, Susie etc. held WH call to discuss - Then White House started reaching out to Anthropic to speak with Dario Amodei, who was at a wellness retreat. - When Amodei was finally available past 1pm, he had three tense phone calls with a combo of ppl including Cairncross, Bessent, Lutnick, Kessler, Will Scharf, Richard Walters, and Walker Barrett. -Amodei tried to clear up what he assumed was a misunderstanding. He defended the guardrails and distinguished between universal and non-universal jailbreak - Cairncross and Bessent were unmoved and asked Amodei to take down Fable and work with the admin to fix the vulnerabilities. (A WH official said Amazon’s findings were run past the NSA and they felt they had “proof.”) - Amodei asked for more time and info, but he made no commitments to pull the model - Bessent told Amodei directly at one point that he was making a “bad decision” - By Friday evening, the Trump admin imposed its export controls. - “Export controls were a last resort after begging them for hours to work with us,” senior WH official said.

Larry David owns 15% of a TV franchise that has generated roughly $5 billion. In 1984, he was the SNL writer who couldn't get a single sketch on air and stormed off the job, only to come back Monday as if nothing had happened. Before that, he'd been working odd jobs across New York City, limousine driver, store clerk, bra wholesaler, trying to make stand-up comedy work since 1974. In 1989, he and Jerry Seinfeld created a sitcom for NBC. Both started with 7.5% of the backend equity, a permanent share of anything the show made from reruns or licensing. As Seinfeld became the most-watched comedy on American television, the two renegotiated. Both reached 15% each. When Seinfeld ended in 1998 after nine seasons, the rights to rerun it on local TV stations sold for $1.7 billion. David's 15% came out to about $250 million in a single payout. That stake paid out from every deal that followed: $80 million when Hulu bought streaming rights in 2015, $75 million when Netflix took global rights in 2019. He still collects an estimated $40-50 million per year from reruns and licensing. In 2007, he divorced his wife Laurie and gave her roughly half his fortune, somewhere between $200 and $300 million, plus a cut of all future Seinfeld royalties. Before the divorce, his total earnings from Seinfeld were estimated above $800 million. He told Rolling Stone: "My wife got half of it, the whole thing is ridiculous." His current net worth sits around $400 million. Curb Your Enthusiasm added to it. The show ran on HBO from 2000 to 2024, 12 seasons and 120 episodes, and by 2023 he was earning $20 million per season for a show built entirely from his own social anxieties. His new limited series, "Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness," premieres June 26. Co-produced by Barack and Michelle Obama's company, Higher Ground, it runs seven episodes through August 7, with Barack Obama appearing in a sketch. The Seinfeld franchise has generated roughly $5 billion across three decades of reruns, streaming deals, and cable rights. David's 15% stake, negotiated when he and Seinfeld were pitching a show nobody expected to last, is one of the most quietly lucrative content deals in television history.

Ray Kurzweil predicts AI will change humanity completely by 2030. - We only have 6 years left of aging! - By 2032, we'll be able to go through all the different possibilities. So, you get back at least a year. As you go past 2032, you'll actually get back more than a year. But you won't die of aging at that point. - He gives an example: he has a pancreas that is actually external and generates insulin, and then he measures glucose. - He has always said that if you take care of yourself to get to this point, there will be tools and technology to keep you alive for a very, very long time and healthy. The future is very good for our health!

oh you don't believe in the acceleration of biology? ask yourself why: - Moderna and Merck's personalized mRNA cancer vaccine just cut melanoma recurrence by 49% over 5 years. presented at ASCO 2026 this week. the same mRNA tech from COVID is now fighting cancer - CAR-T therapy used to take weeks in a specialized lab. in vivo CAR-T is now a single injection. off the shelf. moving into autoimmune disease and cardiac fibrosis - Ginkgo Bioworks' Nebula is the world's largest autonomous lab. running 36,000 reactions and generating 150,000 data points per loop. 24 hours a day. no human required. Amazon plugged them in as the wet lab backbone for their Bio Discovery platform - Isomorphic Labs raised $2.1B to design drugs with AI. the lab is becoming software - the first reverse-aging drug was injected into a human this week. Life Biosciences. David Sinclair is bullish this is june 2026 and as if thats not enough, we have the Superhuman Fund II actively backing the infrastructure that makes all of this possible at scale if you are building in this space, let's talk bio/acc

Ok, so I jumped on the dates soaked in espresso trend… and it’s unreal. Make some black coffee. Add dates. Marinate overnight. Have on top of greek yoghurt, honey and a pinch of salt. Unreal luxury breakfast or sweet treat. (I chop my dates in half so the coffee really gets inside. They get jammier if you leave them 1 day )🤌🏼

“We’ve been separating signal from judgment, letting speed outrun significance, & ignoring our bodies until alarms blare. We, as a species, are grimly out of tune. Reimagining civilization’s cognition is no longer optional.” —Rimma Boshernitsan noemamag.com/our-emerging-pl…

Larry David stars in a new trailer for the limited series 'Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness.' Premiering June 26 on HBO Max.

我非常大的鸡巴又硬又完美，但还是每天吃这个药。 长寿医生现在连30岁、鸡巴完全没问题的年轻人，都在开他达拉非（Cialis）。 目标根本不是让你鸡巴更硬。 而是你全身6万公里的血管。 机制简单得要命： 他达拉非把PDE5这个酶干掉，不让cGMP被分解 → 平滑肌放松 → 全身血管扩张 → 血流全面变好。 他达拉非半衰期长达18小时，所以每天吃小剂量就够了。 好处多到离谱： 大脑方面： • 明显改善脑部血流（大脑要用掉20%的心脏输出） • 被研究用来对付血管性痴呆 • 减少脑组织氧化损伤 • 还能对抗兴奋剂引起的血管收缩 心血管方面： • 降低血压 • 改善血管内皮功能 • 减少动脉硬化 • FDA批准治疗肺动脉高压 • 正在研究治疗心衰 • 专门针对心血管病最早期的内皮问题 • 还能改善胰岛素敏感性和血糖代谢 鸡巴用得更好只是顺带的。 真正重要的是，它在帮你保养全身最关键的血管系统。 我现在每天早上像吃维生素一样吃5mg他达拉非。 只不过我叫它「维生素C-ialis」😂 我的用法：每天5mg他达拉非 以上不是医疗建议哈。

We May Be Surrounded by Trillions of Conscious Beings, Research Suggests—And They Aren’t Human popularmechanics.com/science…

“The government believes it has become aware of a method of bypassing, or ‘jailbreaking’ Fable 5,” the company said in a blog post. wired.com/story/anthropic-sa…

⚡️This is a monster signal. This is the moment frontier AI stops being treated like software and starts being treated like controlled strategic capability. The key phrase is not “customers.” The key phrase is “foreign national Anthropic employees.” That means the state is no longer only controlling chips, model weights, or overseas access. It is moving into cognition access by nationality. That is the real threshold. The U.S. government is saying the highest models are sensitive enough that even people physically inside the United States, working inside the company, may be barred from touching them if their nationality creates deemed-export risk. That is weapons-control logic. This is ITAR logic for intelligence. The corporate language about a “misunderstanding” is probably diplomacy. Companies say that when they need to preserve customer trust, employee morale, and regulatory room. But national security authorities do not force emergency suspension of top model access because someone made a minor paperwork mistake. Something about Fable 5 and Mythos 5 crossed the line: cyber capability, autonomous R&D acceleration, AI-improving-AI utility, bio/security planning, code exploitation, or some blend of all of it. The U.S. state just showed that Anthropic does not fully control Anthropic’s frontier layer. That is the phase change. Labs can brand themselves as public-benefit AI companies. They can talk about safety. They can sell enterprise plans. They can publish model cards. But once the models become national capability, the sovereign arrives. The state does not need to own the company to control the access surface. It only needs legal authority over export, security, procurement, and liability. This confirms the arc we’ve been tracking: Frontier AI becomes state-supervised strategic infrastructure. Public AI splits from strategic AI. Foreign access gets restricted. Labs become quasi-defense contractors. Model access becomes a national security perimeter. Enterprise customers learn that API access is not property. It is revocable permission inside a sovereign-controlled stack. The most important implication is organizational. If foreign national employees can be cut off from frontier systems, AI labs now have to reorganize internally around citizenship, clearance, compartmentalization, and controlled access. That breaks the old Silicon Valley assumption that global talent can freely collaborate around the frontier. The next AI lab structure looks less like Google in 2015 and more like a defense prime crossed with a classified research facility. For markets, the winners are the national champions with U.S.-aligned infrastructure, cleared customer channels, government relationships, compliance capacity, and domestic compute. The losers are open access, foreign-dependent AI wrappers, offshore model distributors, and any enterprise whose moat depends on unrestricted access to frontier APIs. For geopolitics, this is escalation. China will read this correctly. Allies will read this correctly. Every serious state will understand that frontier models are now part of national power. The AI race just moved from “who has the best chatbot” to “who controls cognition as a strategic asset.”

For thousands of years, humans have searched nature for mind-altering substances through a process of trial and (sometimes fatal) error, @andersen reports—but scientists are now trying to create lab-grown, customizable psychedelics: theatlantic.com/health/2026/…

The gimlet has been maligned for decades, says Ty Caudle, The Interval's beverage director, as a result of artificial ingredients and rushed preparations. The Interval recipe has corrected those deficiencies by using navy strength gin infused with lime oil and slowly filtered over three days. The resulting lime cordial is stirred (rather than shaken) to create a perfect pearlescent finish.  Our Navy Gimlet was just named best in the city by @thebolditalic, and included on this exceptional list which maps the best and most storied bars in the city. It’s an honor to be included. Check it out here: na2.hubs.ly/H0642-L0

I take Cialis, but not for sex. It’s actually a longevity medicine. Cialis (Tadalafil) is great for the same reason it gives you fantastic erections… it improves blood flow. Studies show that Tadalafil… 34% reduced all-cause mortality 27% reduced major heart disease 34% reduced stroke 32% reduced dementia It has also shown benefit in insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, and reduction of body fat. Women have blood vessels too, so theoretically they'd get the same longevity upside. The research is thinner, but early signals are promising. It’s sad that when men and women could benefit from it can miss out because it’s taboo. My protocol is 5mg daily and I've been on it for about two years. *Observational research shows associations, not causation. Outcomes may be influenced by underlying differences in study populations.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…
