🚨 Super intelligence helped crack a 33-year-old Illinois murder case.
Madison County detectives used SI to analyze 2,000+ pages of evidence in the 1993 killing of Randy Gail Sperino.
Combined with DNA genealogy, the investigation led to a 70-year-old suspect who confessed.
Two of the best here.

Colleges suck more than ever because Ai has made intelligence way more accessible.
However colleges are needed now more than ever bc where else do people have access to expensive tools to do research.
The question is how can we do non compulsory education at scale with access to expensive tools.
Sarah is an amazing articulator of Patriotism.

Remember our Education systems think Kids are special needs if they don’t think the teacher nor school has a right to their attention.
Time and time again we hear these stories.
WHEN ITS ACTUALLY A SIGN OF INTELLIGENCE TO BE BORED BY SCHOOL.
HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT ELON MUSK'S SCHOOL THOUGHT HE WAS "RETARDED," SAYS HIS FATHER ERROL MUSK... YEARS LATER EVERYONE REALIZED IT WAS GENIUS
pretoria, south africa, around 1979. Elon is 7 or 8, in grade two
the headmaster calls his father and says they need to talk
Errol drives over sure he knows what it is. Elon had a habit: adults would see him with some huge book and ask if he was just looking at the pictures. Elon would tell them "no, of course not, stupid"
so Errol expects to hear his son insulted a teacher
instead he walks into the office and finds the headmaster and an older teacher wringing her hands
the headmaster says it straight:
"we think your son is retarded"
the evidence?
everyone in class is taking notes. Elon sits and stares out the window
the teacher has to walk up and push him on the shoulder before he even notices her
she asks what he's doing
he says the trees are getting their leaves
Errol: "well, that's reasonable. i don't see anything wrong with that"
the school: something is wrong with him
their fix was a hearing test. his hearing was fine. Errol moved him to a private school and, in his words, "we never had any more problems"
now look at what that "problem" actually was
a kid who goes so deep into one thing that the rest of the room disappears
his father says it never went away. even today, he says, you can be rude to Elon and it doesn't land. it just bounces off
the same trait the school flagged as a defect is the one that later
taught him to code by himself and sell his first video game at 12
had him reading the encyclopedia when he ran out of books
built a rocket company out of nothing but obsession
the school wasn't wrong about the data. he really wasn't paying attention to them
they were wrong about the price
markets do this all the time. the thing that looks broken is just optimized for something you're not measuring
the school graded attention. the world ended up paying for focus

There are different ways to empower permissionless money markets, via programmable money, privacy, p2p-pool powered pow consensus etc. Privacy is just one piece of a puzzle
I have fellow Michigander friend who is republican who applied for and interviewed to work for Senator Slotkin.
Bc they respected the Institution and the position.
Now look how Slotkin would treat this person.

Families say Tesla FSD is changing lives for their family members in their 80s and 90s. ♥️
A 90-year-old man now owns a Model Y after his children recommended it. His neighbor, who works in healthcare, says FSD will help him stay independent.
Other families shared remarkable stories in the comments:
• One said their 92-year-old neighbor bought a Tesla the day after trying FSD.
• Another said their 87-year-old father uses FSD to get almost everywhere, adding: “Great that this gives him additional mobility at his age.”
• A third said their 83-year-old father loves his Model Y and uses FSD for nearly all his driving, helping him attend his grandchildren’s events and enjoy dinners with friends. “It really is transformational.”
For these families, Tesla’s technology means more opportunities to get out, see loved ones and enjoy everyday life. That is what makes FSD’s progress so exciting.

@AbdulElSayed thinks the United States of America shouldn’t have gone to war with Japan in WW2.
What!!
😂🤣
So disrespectful.
Jersey Justin is the man.
“What does finish it actually mean?" @JerseyJustinUSA hits the nail on the head. New Jersey needs a Senator who can make tough calls and prioritize what's best for the future over what's best for politics. Don’t be dumb New Jersey. Vote Justin Murphy.
Unions should be Medicare for All’s biggest obstacle.
Why would workers give up negotiated insurance pools, selected through employment and professional qualifications, to join a universal pool with higher-risk individuals?
Where’s the math showing they’d be better off?
For those confused why this is an obviously abhorrent take by ChatGpt.
Consider this:
If terrorists were launching missiles at my family, threatening the lives of my sons and daughters, what would you do?
Would you destroy those missile launchers, even if the terrorists were using children as human shields?
Or would you sacrifice my children’s lives because you were unwilling to risk accidentally killing the children being used as shields?
I checked this and my version, on the highest available depth, gave the same answer. chatgpt.com/s/cx_6ad201b0822… I am cancelling my subscription. @sama @OpenAI @gdb

Palantir CTO @ssankar on serving as a Lieutenant Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves:
“It is the greatest honor to be able to serve in our US military.”
“As an immigrant to this country, my late father would have loved to have seen me go to a service academy.”
“Life worked out the way it worked out. Arguably, I hope I have more to give back to my country in this capacity at 44 than I did at 24.”
“It’s a great pride.”
