When a star collapses, it starts spinning extremely fast. And because black holes form out of dying stars, all black holes we know should be spinning too.
This makes them even more screwed up in reality than in theory, where black holes are usually referred to as non-spinning.

👀 Sneak a peek at the deepest & sharpest infrared image of the early universe ever taken — all in a day’s work for the Webb telescope. (Literally, capturing it took less than a day!) This is Webb’s first image released as we begin to #UnfoldTheUniverse: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages/
ALT The background of space is black. Thousands of galaxies appear all across the view. Their shapes and colors vary. Some are various shades of orange, others are white. Most stars appear blue, and are sometimes as large as more distant galaxies that appear next to them. A very bright star is just above and left of center. It has eight bright blue, long diffraction spikes. Between 4 o’clock and 6 o’clock in its spikes are several very bright galaxies. A group of three are in the middle, and two are closer to 4 o’clock. These galaxies are part of the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723, and they are warping the appearances of galaxies seen around them. Long orange arcs appear at left and right toward the center.

This discussion between a Google engineer and their conversational AI model helped cause the engineer to believe the AI is becoming sentient, kick up an internal shitstorm and get suspended from his job. And it is absolutely insane. washingtonpost.com/technolog… – at Brooklyn, NY

“In other words, the Megatron is trained on more written material than any of us could reasonably expect to digest in a lifetime. After such extensive research, it forms its own views.” – at West Region, Singapore

1. Spent the past few weeks going down a rabbit hole learning about MEV and Flashbots — very cool stuff! I was surprised to learn that beneath the surface, Ethereum is lurking with sniper bots waiting for any opportunity to make money. Here’s a TLDR on some research + findings.

We've observed AIs discovering complex tool use while competing in a simple game of hide-and-seek. They develop a series of six distinct strategies and counterstrategies, ultimately using tools in the environment to break our simulated physics: openai.com/blog/emergent-too…

A full build of Autopilot neural networks involves 48 networks that take 70,000 GPU hours to train. Together, they output 1,000 distinct tensors (predictions) at each timestep. This is what a Tesla autopilot sees [source: buff.ly/2OhFA5B]
