This is the most gut wrenching private jet accident you will ever see. My condolences to the families of all 9 onboard. The jet hit the ground at approx 800-1000mph, what an insane tragedy.

WTF @kayosports? I’m turning on the #SAvAus #cricket and after five seconds or less I get literally ten ads in a row, in the middle of an over. Anyone else getting this? Frustrating!

And do watch this, insane pressure for everyone involved. This might go down in history as one of the most crazy startup stories ever. Until it comes out we’re all just a simulation…
with sam and greg ousted yesterday my initial thought yesterday was “shit they have discovered AGI” and the only person who was capable of understanding it was ilya sutskever. now it’s seems even more an more plausible that is the case. to understand the amount of stress and pressure he must have been under i urge you to watch this short documentary. this was recorded during the development of chatGPT. but the sincere stream of thought about the greater good AND the bad that will come from AI might put it more clear to why this might have happened. my thesis, they have had AGI internally for a while, and Ilya, andrej karpathy might have been the first ones to grasp what they have made. to be clear, geoff hinton regrets his life’s work (the work on AI) due to him worry about all the bad it can be used for. maybe ilya is under similar pressure. to much for one person to bear. regardless, we will know more soon. i feel for all involved parties, and for the community at large. this is not great.

Rassie - 108 (110). Aiden Markram - 106 (54). Quinton De Kock - 100 (84). South Africa 428/5 - the highest ever score and the fastest ever individual hundred in World Cup history. Insane stuff from Proteas!!!

🚨Statement on Owen Farrell Prof John Fairclough of Progressive Rugby said: “Today’s astounding decision to overturn the 🟥 given to Owen Farrell for his tackle on Taine Basham has made a mockery of World Rugby’s claim that player welfare is the game’s number one priority. 1/2

Eric Barone has made $300M+ (yes, that's not a typo) in revenue in 6 years with 0 employees. He developed a game that has sold 20M copies to date. At this rate, he can easily become the first one-person founder to do 1B+ in sales. Here's how he did it:

Elon-Twitter is a distraction. FTX is a distraction. The only story that you should be paying attention to right now is the United States vs China situation. Here's a primer on what's going on:

Watching Putin's attack on Ukraine play out, I am struck by the thought that Putin learned the lesson from the wrong Afghanistan war. And he has also vastly misunderstood post-Zelenskiy Ukraine. 1/?

There are things we can make free - like PM travel, the Lodge, Kirribilli House & tax free churches. &then there are things we can’t -like tests that help people not infect others with a ferociously infectious, possibly fatal disease. Surely anyone can understand that? #dickhead
