negative thinking destroys your brain
being a silly goose and delusionally optimistic is the ultimate longevity hack
Survivor happened! + Traitors New Blood & The Tennessee Titans 😩 with @j_cling open.spotify.com/episode/0Mf…
One of the best episodes of Survivor since we've been podcasting (s41-51). And therefore, one of the best podcast episodes. THE QUIT, THE MUTINY TWIST RETURNS, OAR DEMOLITION, and more with @j_cling open.spotify.com/episode/5lX…

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

I can’t stop watching this #Survivor #Survivor51 Did I miss any?
The amount of one liners this episode that I need to make a montage of 😂
“I’m so Vain”
“I can do pushups rn”
“With an A?”
“We’re talking about popcorn”
This cast kills me #Survivor #Survivor51
Unplug it
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

🧵: How efficient is the #Titans Offense and Cam Ward by Halves?
Let's look at the 1st Half, 2nd Half, and 2nd Half (excluding Garbage Time)
Here's the numbers (1/4)
Things have gotten so bad in Titans land that I think now the majority of us would welcome a Mariota return home.

10 minutes of TikTok was enough to impair people’s ability to remember and carry out intentions.
Twitter and YouTube didn’t show the same decline.
Rapid context-switching may be where most of cognitive cost is.
Survivor is back and so is The Clingers Have Spoken 🤘We'll be breaking down the permanent uncertainty this whole season, so jump in! @j_cling
