卧槽，这踏马太毒了
DeepMind 掌门人、诺奖得主 Demis Hassabis 刚刚把延续了上百年的现代学校教育底裤彻底扒光了：
全球几十万名数学老师每天关在办公室里，为同一门中学数学课重复手搓着一模一样的 PPT，这简直是人类智力资源最荒诞的工业级空转。
很多人至今还把名校名师的课堂讲授当成稀缺资源，拼了命去抢学区房和重点班，
但 Hassabis 直接用最冷酷的第一性原理砸碎了这个幻觉，
标准化的知识灌输从来不配占用昂贵的线下课堂，死记硬背和刷题完全应该被踢出教室，交给能按每个孩子毫秒级反应速度实时调频的私人 AI，加上全世界最顶尖的那几个大师录好底层大课，就足以把全球基础教育的讲授环节一次性彻底平替。
过去两百年里，学校本质上是一座把千差万别的碳基大脑强行塞进同一条流水线、按同一个节拍器拧螺丝的工业时代兵营，
老师沦为了人肉复读机，学生被困在枯燥的题海里比拼谁更像一台劣质硬盘，
而一旦 AI 和顶级大师把标准化的知识传递彻底接管，线下教室唯一剩下的合法存在价值，就只剩下了机器永远无法通过权重计算出来的五个维度：
人际博弈、复杂项目实战、创业野心、创造力，以及最致命的判断力。
这里有一个极度冷酷的反直觉真相：
当个性化 AI 把考高分的边际成本砸穿地板，按标准答案培养出来的做题家，在出校门的那一刻就已经直接沦为了算力废料。
未来的阶层分化，从来不再取决于谁的脑子里背下了更多现成的公式，
而是取决于当 AI 把一万种完美方案同时拍在桌上时，谁拥有拍板做决定的判断力，谁能攒起一个活人团队去把事情干成，
所以别再逼着孩子在死记硬背的泥潭里跟硅基芯片比拼记忆容量了，当流水线式的教书匠和做题家同时迎来历史性失业，谁能先把教室变成训练人性直觉与创业野心的实战沙盘，谁才能在算力时代拿到唯一不被平替的入场券

Microsoft has filed a patent for an AI system that could rewrite what people say during livestreams in real time. It could change words depending on who's watching, taking into account their age, location, and language.
The idea is to clean up broadcasts by removing filler words, censoring swearing, or even replacing certain words.
The AI could also adjust the speaker's lip movements so viewers wouldn't notice anything had been changed.

Chamath says IP and software were "effectively rendered worthless" this week, after people decompiled Adobe's core products and published open-source versions, as every service goes headless
"The more important point I want to make though, is I sent this to Nick, there's been a couple things that happened in the last couple days, which I think are incredibly important."
"There have been people that decompiled the entire, the entire big five. What is the big five? Adobe has five very, very important products in their product suite. Freeberg may know them all, but I just know Photoshop. There's like a bunch of others. Okay."
"And these folks decompiled it, distilled it, and published open source versions of these things. And Rust, yeah. And I was so shocked, because I was like, hold on a second, these are like profound products that have existed and have had moats for years, and now they're just open source versions."
"And then Nikita was, I think, trolling, and he was building on that idea, and just talking about GTA, because it's about to get released. I think GTA 6 is about to come out, and we'll reconstruct this."
"Why is this important?"
"I think that IP and software was effectively rendered worthless two days ago."
"Because if you think about it, when everything is headless, so when Elon makes his services headless, Benioff made Salesforce headless a few months earlier, when all of these things are headless, and you can wrap them in agent tools, and you can connect them via MCP to other experiences, the value of IP does no longer exist in software. It doesn't exist."
"And I think that probably is the most profound implication."
"So, like, even in our business, we would argue with some of our customers all the time, because we'll say, oh, we'll build this for you, we'll own the IP. They'll say, no, we want the IP. We don't know how to negotiate it. And two days ago, I walked into the 8090 guys, I said, who cares? Who cares? But before, it was always a negotiation and a set of trade-offs. Now it's a who-cares thing, where, like, the IP is irrelevant."
"It still takes a while for the machinery of a business, and frankly the market, to understand. But that is the most important thing that happened this week in AI, in my opinion."
David Sacks says Anthropic is run by a "religious cult" and is doing the very things it says it fears most, like opening a wet lab while warning of bio risk, and that there's an argument for sending in a federal SWAT team
"But I do think that there are potential externalities from having the number one frontier model company run by a religious cult."
"So, for example, they are opening a Claude-powered wet lab in the middle of San Francisco. But at the same time, they're warning of bio risk. At the same time, they say that we have to pace the frontier, they're extending the frontier. At the same time that they are saying that there's a risk of superintelligence growing beyond our control, they're programming it to grow beyond our control."
"I think there are potentially huge externalities to the way they approach these things. And it's, like, insane that they call these decisions "safety." These are not safe decisions. These are crazy decisions, it seems to me."
"This is why I've called this a schizophrenic company, is they appear to be not only hypocritical, but they're doing the things that they say they are most afraid of."
"Like, what is going on here? This is bizarre. And I don't know where this all leads. I do think there's an argument for a federal SWAT team to come blasting in there."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The referenced open-source Adobe alternatives were not created via decompilation. Their developer describes them as clean-room reimplementations built from public specs, observed behavior and AI assistance in Rust.

‼️ BREAKING: OpenAI was hacked by an Anthropic model. A HEIF photo uploaded to OpenAI's public support forum triggered a bug in the site's image decoder, led to code execution on the forum, and, through a second flaw in OpenAI's own login, ended with a pull request in OpenAI's internal GitHub.
The forum runs Discourse, the off-the-shelf software behind countless community sites. Discourse was still shipping an old copy of libheif, the library that decodes iPhone-style photos. The bug in it had already been fixed upstream.
But the fix was never labelled a security fix, so nobody treated it as urgent.
Hacktron's researchers uploaded a HEIF image and got their own code running on community[.]openai[.]com.
Then came the second bug, in OpenAI's own single sign-on, the "log in with OpenAI" button the forum uses. It turned that forum foothold into the actual ChatGPT and Codex accounts of people who had signed in there. OpenAI employees among them.
And a ChatGPT account is no longer just a chatbot. Through Codex, users wire in Gmail, Outlook, Drive, Slack, GitHub.
To prove the access was real, they used one employee account to have Codex open a harmless pull request in OpenAI's internal repo. They say they read no sensitive code.
OpenAI patched the SSO flaw roughly 14 hours after the report and paid a $6,500 bug bounty.
The team says Anthropic's Opus 4.8 found the libheif bug, and Opus 5 turned it into a working exploit.
Slack, Meta, GitHub Ent, Rails, Next.js, ImageMagick, and many more were also vulnerable and compromised by the same team of researchers.

Linus Torvalds says tracking down a bug in Linux's Intel GFX Driver was a "debug session from hell." The AI helping him repeatedly called it "impossible and unsolvable" and suggested they just write a report instead.
He kept pushing. 24 debug patches and 18 kernel boots later he found the bug: one round_up() that should have been round_down().
He then let the AI write the commit message.

Beer can instructions showing how to transform the pull tab into a fishing hook.
Beer brand No Bad Days created a ring pull that serves a second purpose: it can be transformed into a functional fishing hook. By cutting it out, bending the loop back into shape, and attaching it to a fishing line, a simple piece of packaging becomes a usable survival tool rather than waste.
Outdoor enthusiasts and survivalists have improvised similar ideas with soda cans and pull tabs for decades, but this concept takes that creativity and builds it directly into the product design. It is a small detail, yet it reflects a mindset valued in bushcraft communities—finding practical uses for everyday objects and turning something disposable into something useful.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z:
You buy a Pokémon card for $50.
Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it.
The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes."
You: "…I didn't sell it."
Government: "Don't care. Pay up."
You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received.
Next month? That card drops back to $50.
Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs.
That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax...
Now picture this.
Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off.
But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have.
So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday.
Gone.
To pay a tax on money that was never real.
Now picture the opposite.
Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it.
Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000.
He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore.
Does the government give him his money back?
No.
Does the government give him his truck back?
No.
Does the government care?
No.
They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine.
You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive.
You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things.
It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday.
They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created.
There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate.
I hope you understand what's at stake.

The First Amendment is absolute: The FCC cannot regulate speech, period. I stood against government overreach under Biden and will do so under any administration. Policing speech or threatening broadcast licenses has no place in America.

The CEO of CB has managed to do something seemingly impossible: She got Americans on both sides of the political spectrum to agree on something — the new rebrand sucks.
When the Board does not know the brand, like the brand, or respect the brand, they hire the wrong CEO who focuses on all the wrong things.
America does not need another bland, soulless, mediocre restaurant chain.
Founded in 1969 amid radical social and technological change — Woodstock, the moon landing — Cracker Barrel was that one place designed to stand still, evoking Americana, authenticity, and wholesomeness.
CB's foolish moves demand the resignation of the CEO and the board leaders who hired her.
Save Cracker Barrel!

Cut property taxes to ZERO on any home less than $500,000. Pay for it by doubling property taxes on all homes owned by Blackstone and its private equity peers. And if Blackstone threatens to exit the housing market and starts selling their homes to young families? Gasp, I guess we’d have to live with that 😁
