RFK Jr.’s spokesmonkey, about cancelling contracts with scientific journals: “Precious taxpayer dollars should be [sic] not be used on unused subscriptions to junk science.” It is really important to understand that RFK Jr. is the head of a disinformation campaign against the people of the U.S.

Trump team axes contracts with publishing giant Springer Nature

The action comes as high-ranking US officials criticize top journals as ‘woke’ and ‘corrupt’.

Reading this "foundation model report" and had to stop because I was laughing so hard at them just not having any idea what to put as to next steps so they just write "?" foundationmodelreport.ai/…
Pre-training as we know it will end
Compute is growing:
- Better hardware
- Better algorithms
- Larger clusters
Data is not growing:
- We have but one internet
- The fossil fuel of Al
What's Next?
• Synthetic data
• Agents (systems engineering)
Inference time scaling

They directly compare the effects of vaccination (against not vaccinating) and account for other factors. Are you saying that you think vaccines are not as important in places like the US and Canada vs less developed nations? I’m not sure what you’re actually even asking

I wrote about Mario Kart's Blue Shell, 11 years ago. In the new Kart game, the Blue Shell is somehow even more insulting. (Full article, as it appeared in my 2015 book How to Talk About Videogames: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/at…)

First off, where should “End Road Work” signs be located? I imagine it varies state to state, but in Virginia, per VDOT’s guidelines, the signs should be “approximately 500' beyond the last device in the lane closure.”

Here is the agenda for the June 25-26 meeting of ACIP. Vaccine recommendations that RFK Jr.’s team of unqualified anti-vaxxers will discuss include COVID19, RSV, and influenza. My guess is they will vote to severely restrict recommendations for these vaccines. www.cdc.gov/acip/downloa...

That Chinese automaker's cars are tariffed out of the U.S. market--a Biden-administration move to counter PRC subsidies--but have been drawing a lot of buyers outside the U.S. Tesla should be scared and should feel bad about that, since their promised cheaper EV remains vaporware.

This whole thing has been brewing since November 2024, when Disney sent their demand letter, followed by one from NBC Universal on May 30 2025 from the same firm (Jenner & Block). Not sure how Midjourney survives this honestly! storage.courtlistener.com….
(1) Immediately cease publicly displaying, distributing, and/or making copies of any
Universal works for any commercial purpose (including training AI models and the generation of
infringing outputs) unless and until Midjourney is granted an express license to do so.
(2) Identify the specific steps Midjourney has taken (if any) to (a) prevent the
unauthorized copying and distribution of Universal’s copyrighted works, and (b) mitigate the
threat of further harm caused by the unauthorized exploitation of Universal’s works, such as
technological measures, filters, and other copyright protection measures that can be implemented
by AI services to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of our works.
(3) Identify which of Universal’s copyrighted works Midjourney has copied to train its
Image Service. If you are unable to identify each and every Universal work Midjourney has
copied, then please disclose all sources of content used to train your AI models so that we may
determine which of our works have been copied.
We strongly urge Midjourney to fully and immediately comply with these demands and
await your prompt response.
