I wanted to screenshot this for those historians of AI and technology in the future. The day after OpenAI's mathplosion, it was nowhere to be found on the front page of the New York Times.

The point of man is to build, create, and improve the lives of others.
The number on the screen is not relevant.

We trained a model to predict AI-written blog posts from structural features - and discovered the shape of slop.
On posts it had never seen, it told AI and human apart with 98% accuracy, getting only 19 of 1,740 wrong.

One of the most disappointing things for me was realizing I can just repeat things I did that worked in the past, and they’ll keep working
You want the world to demand originality, but it just does not care

I talked to a founder who was demoralized because all the ideas he could think of could be easily duplicated. I told him to ignore that worry; nearly all startup ideas are like that at first. Their value is the other ideas they lead to.

i dare you to be as delusional as possible for 30 days. compliment strangers. ask for things that feel out of your reach. take shot after shot after shot. you won’t hit them all, but you’ll hit a couple. but what you hit isn’t the point. it’s about rewiring what you see as possible. when you remove your self imposed limits, you realize they were never real to begin with. anything is possible my friend. but it’s up to you to pursue it.

Focus on the things you are for, not the things you are against.
Many people spend large chunks of their day thinking about what they hate. They are always telling you about something they dislike: this food, that subject, this political party, that coworker.
You are more than your frustrations. Build your identity around what you love.

Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something.
There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.

Contrary to newsfeed hype, getting in shape will not make you more money.
Believe me, tons of broke fit people.
100 bicep curls will not beat 100 cold emails.
If you wanna make more money, spend your time on things that make you more money.

Pope Leo XIV released this morning an encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, on Artificial Intelligence.
It's the Church's first major statement on AI, algorithms, and the concentration of private tech power.
As someone who is at the Venn Diagram of tech x Catholicism. Here's what I found important:

After this post my Google Maps has now also been banned from reviewing places
No wonder every place is now a 4.7/5, they all converge to that rating if you just remove all the bad ratings
Interestingly, my account has been banned because of my reviews in Dubai from ages ago, I know UAE has strict defamation laws, so I think businesses use that to remove reviews there
I don't know why the Google Maps team is allowing this though, a review or rating is not defamation, it's just an opinion, and Google needs that opinion for people to know where to go
What Google should be doing I think is defending the people who review and rate places in court wherever they live, because by just allowing any business to remove bad ratings/reviews, they make Google Maps completely non-credible!
Long term people will just use other apps to find good places and I don't think you want that @sundarpichai
Maybe we need @X Maps with real reviews @elonmusk?

The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening.
UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm.
The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6.
Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it.
The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in.
About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters.
"I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.
