Americans are immune to propoganda, they just on average think 21% of Americans are trans and 27% are Muslim for no real reason

FIELDS MEDALIST TESTED IF HE'S OBSOLETE
timothy gowers took an open problem from a new paper on additive combinatorics and handed it to chatgpt 5.5 pro.
no fancy prompts. no setup. just the problem statement.
the model thought for 17 minutes. then wrote a complete latex preprint in two.
it took a bound that had been exponential for decades and brought it down to polynomial. the construction was something nobody had tried on this class of problems before.
gowers asked isaac rajagopal to review the work. rajagopal wrote the paper the model was improving on.
his verdict: the key idea is "completely original" and "quite ingenious." "the sort of idea i would be very proud to come up with after a week or two of pondering."
the model spent 17 minutes on it.
then gowers pushed further. gave it the harder generalized version. under an hour, a stronger result. exponential to polynomial again.
gowers on his own mathematical contribution to the whole thing: "zero. i didn't even do anything clever with the prompts."
the result is a solid chapter in a combinatorics phd. publishable mathematics that a graduate student would spend months producing.
a fields medalist. one of the best combinatorialists alive. sitting there copy-pasting prompts while a model does doctoral-level research in front of him.
his conclusion: "the lower bound for contributing to mathematics will now be to prove something that llms can't prove."
he gives the profession until 2029 before it's "transformed out of all recognition."
seventeen minutes. zero human math. a result that takes months by hand.
this was may 2026. five months ago. the model that did it is already outdated.

Users are finding that Google's AI chat feature refuses to say who won the 2020 election, but gives an answer for any other election year.
This comes after Trump has publicly stated that Google CEO Sundar Pichai will "do what I say."

"Reviewers without training found 27% of the major errors, and training barely helped. We gave the same papers to 15 LLMs. They found 53-96%. Even the smallest models found about twice as many major errors as human reviewers"
Why we need human AND LLM review
Lots of debate this week on whether journals should ban AI in peer review.
We actually tested this in our new preprint, and the results were pretty clear to me.
For context, I've reviewed for most of the big journals and evaluated 1,000 human reviews as an editor. I love to read and evaluate science.
TLDR: From now on I won't do any peer review without AI. For clinical trials, I'd even call human-only review dangerous 🧵

I now have two sources close to Susie Wiles who claim that Trump is preparing a vast misinformation campaign for November 4th, built around conspiracy theories alleging widespread election fraud.
The plan? Declare victory regardless of the results, accuse Democratic officials of manufacturing ballots overnight, claim voting machines were secretly manipulated, and demand that Republican candidates refuse to concede.
In this scenario, the goal isn’t to prove fraud. It’s to convince millions of Americans that any election Republicans lose must have been stolen.

NEW from me: Britain’s AI testing agency outguns US
Britain wants to pour another £120 million — roughly $160 million — into a government lab that tests the world’s most powerful AI models, an infusion of cash that alone is more than 10 times the annual budget of its US counterpart.
It contrasts sharply with the approach in the US, where federal efforts to evaluate AI are receiving far less cash and are shared by different parts of government.

No surprise, Russia has been helping Iran and the Houthis destroy the Saudi oil industry.
All those billions in bribes the Saudis paid to Kushner/Trump family, and White House ends up siding with Russia to bring oil prices to $300/barrel.
Meanwhile, Trump attacks Ukraine for hitting Russian refineries.

This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right.
This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded.
Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.

I've been writing about neurotech for 20+ years now, in both fiction and non. This is the most exciting the field has ever been. Truly sci-fi stuff. Awesome to see how @juanbenet is investing in and supporting companies here.
Neurotech is Humanity’s Next Frontier!
I’ve been investing in neurotech since 2021 and working with teams building BCIs, NeuroAI, and connectomics. It now feels like AI did in ~2019.
We are entering an extraordinary era: neurotech already restores functions, it can enhance our capabilities, and will evolve what it means to be human.
PLC Neurotech is the fund backing the extraordinary founders and defining companies of this booming industry.

Trump's actions over the past 6 months have now ramped Putin's income to record highs. All will be allocated to war against Europe and tearing apart western society.

Soon we will do the same with every disease
OpenAI used thousands of AI agents to investigate a Parkinson like neurodegenerative disease, compressing months of scientific research into just 32 minutes.
The agents analyzed data from millions of brain cells, explored hundreds of scientific references, and uncovered a potential connection between a specific gene, cholesterol regulation, and neurodegeneration.
Human experts preferred the multi-agent research reports 75% of the time over those produced by a single AI agent.

🇪🇺 EU has no plans to return to Russian energy resources, including after the end of the war in Ukraine, — EC spokeswoman
“We have learned our lesson,” she said.
Moreover, by the end of 2027, the EU plans to completely abandon Russian gas.
She added that sanctions against the Russian energy sector will remain in place until the end of Putin’s war.
