👏 “A bitter irony. Yury Dolgoruky — the prince widely regarded as the founder of Moscow — is buried on the grounds of the Lavra. Their city was born in Kyiv” This is how Fire Point co-founder Denys Shtilerman reacted to the strike on the Dormition Cathedral of the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra. “Their state, their church, their writing system — all of it originated here, on our land. And in return, for centuries they have burned, looted, and now bombed the cradle from which they themselves emerged. Because as long as Kyiv and the Lavra stand, the world can see who represents a thousand-year-old civilization — and who is trying to appropriate someone else’s history.”

I just watched priests trying to save crucifixes from a burning monastery. This is what russia is destroying. The Kyiv Lavra is one of the holiest Orthodox sites on earth. A UNESCO World Heritage site. Moscow calls itself “Christian civilisation.” It’s literally barbarism.

EXCLUSIVE: 🚨 @TulsiGabbard Recycled Published Russian Intelligence And Claimed It Was An Official American Intelligence Document In Her Latest Act Of Deception Days Before She Is Set To “Resign” As DNI 🚨 In her “Ukrainian Bio lab” document “declassification” release this week, I’ve discovered that DNI Tulsi Gabbard used graphics from official Russian intelligence documents and slapped an ODNI @ODNIgov logo on top of these same documents to present them as an official intel report created by the US government. Upon further analysis of Tulsi Gabbard’s most recent declassification related to Ukraine, I have discovered evidence that she is directly peddling Russian government propaganda. Here’s the evidence: Source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.… Slide 1 ironically includes an IC assessment that claims Russia will attempt to spread false narratives about the US’s bio labs in Ukraine, which is exactly what @TulsiGabbard just helped the Russian Government do. Slide 2 contains an AI generated map of Ukraine which is clearly not an IC product, and which contains basic spelling and geographical errors, making a mockery of the US government. Slide 4 contains the internal work product of an American corporation (Black and Veatch) that worked with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) in Ukraine. The Russian Government claims to have captured these documents during their invasion of Ukraine. The Russian Government then widely publicized these products in their own official reports in 2022. Gabbard’s political staff (not IC analysts) recycled published propaganda of the Russian Government in an attempt to spread false narratives while falsely claiming the slideshow she released this week is an original work product of US intel agencies. Page 83 of the following document presented by the Russian Government to the UN Security Council shows the exact figure that Gabbard recycled in slide 4 of her release this week. Source: the-trench.org/wp-content/up… Gabbard’s intent with this deception is to conflate the biological safety work being done to prevent dangerous uses of Soviet era pathogens (which has been publicly disclosed since 2005 as the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction framework) with bioweapons production so that Russia has another manufactured excuse to continue its prolonged war with Ukraine. Let’s be clear: there is no evidence that Ukraine in its longstanding cooperative program with the US has engaged in Gain of Function or biological weapons research. But what is clear is Tulsi Gabbard and her staff promulgated Russian intelligence products as American work, in violation of the Espionage Act. My FOIA request to ODNI regarding the production of these documents is being submitted on Monday morning. By law, ODNI has 10 business days to respond. I look forward to reading the emails. The Trump administration should order ODNI to take these Russian documents down today. This is embarrassing for the Trump administration. Nice to know ODNI gets their “intel” and their graphics from Russian intelligence. See photographic evidence below 👇🏻

That's literally the most AI-slop map you could find on the internet. @TulsiGabbard try to do better next time. You're disappointing the old man in kremlin, and things aren't exactly easy for him right now source: dni.gov/files/BIOLAB_Slides.…

Yann Lecun published the most heretical AI paper of the year. He opens by arguing Magnus Carlsen isn't good at chess and only gets more unhinged from there. The Turing Award winner and his co-authors dropped a paper demanding the AI industry abandon its biggest obsession, AGI. Right now, everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to politicians assumes AGI is the ultimate goal. A machine that can do everything a human can do. LeCun argues that this entire concept is a biological illusion. Humans do not possess "general" intelligence. We are highly specialized biological machines, tuned by evolution simply to survive in the physical world. We only think our intelligence is "general" because we are completely blind to the millions of cognitive tasks we are incapable of comprehending. Which brings us to the chess argument. Magnus Carlsen is the greatest human chess player in history. But compared to a modern computer? He is fundamentally terrible. Our belief that Carlsen is "good" at chess is pure human-centric bias. He isn't objectively good. He's just better than the rest of us, who are biologically awful at it. LeCun says we need to stop building AI to mimic human generality. Instead, he proposes a new North Star: SAI. Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence. Instead of trying to build a machine that mimics our flawed, biologically-limited brains, we need to embrace extreme specialization. SAI is about the speed of adaptation. It is an intelligence that can learn to exceed humans at any specific, economically important task. More importantly, it is designed to fill the vast skill gaps where humans are fundamentally incapable. Things like managing global energy grids in real-time. Or predicting complex molecular structures. The entire AI industry is obsessed with building a digital reflection in our own image. LeCun's paper is a brutal wake-up call.

Remember every company that massively laid off their best devs for AI. When they inevitably start hiring again, just pass by. If they did it once, they'll do it again when AI becomes more profitable!

Updated LLM code benchmark. For perplexity score only PPL (geometric mean branching factor per token which equal to 2^(total_bits / N)) used. #Typescript #Go #Rust #Zig #Haskell #Closure #Python

The AI industry just invented a new job. Wait until you hear what it does.

How token-efficient are languages for LLM codegen? I compared equivalent small programs in #TypeScript, #Rust, and #Zig. Result: TypeScript used the fewest tokens; Rust ~1.6x, Zig ~2.0x vs TS. Bench, sources, methodology: github.com/MaxGraey/token-la… #LLM #CodeGen

Merry Christmas, my dear friends! Peace, kindness, and love! ✨ May God protect you and your family throughout your life! On this holy evening, please remember in your prayers those who will celebrate this holiday far from home, their families, and loved ones🫡🇺🇦 And also, to honor the memory of all those who are no longer with us🕯️🙏

😁 Armed carjacker from the Caucasus arrested in the US 35-year-old Mukhammed-Emin Idrisov, threatening with a knife, hijacked a truck and forced the driver to keep going. When detained, he suddenly switched to Russian and begged the police: “Please don’t kill me.” He also spoke about “mysterious people” who had allegedly poisoned him. US police had to use an AI translator to understand him. The scene looked more like a low-budget action movie than a real arrest.

🇯🇵☪️ Most of our streets, especially in Tokyo, are extremely crowded. Praying in public is seen as a serious nuisance. Muslims should not be praying in public, especially since it blocks and annoys others.

They just use footage from ukrainian soldier funeral for Charlie Kirk 😡

After the horrific murder of Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, a bunch of MAGA and russian accounts instantly started praising russia’s public transport as if it’s perfectly safe and something like this could never happen there. Meanwhile, reality of Moscow:
