Please share your AI industry experts who are not:
1. Full of it
2. Selling their nonsense as fact
3. Otherwise releasing "something big" and always "right around the corner"
The tech is amazing, the marketing bros who started swarming it are making it a nightmare.

This is a shame. As capital has concentrated at the top and companies have stayed private longer, venture has become perhaps a more important driver of where capital goes than the public markets. As much as people make fun of VCs, they do have an important role to play in the current system.
Every dollar that goes into a company because it’s got a good chance of being marked up by a greater fool is one that doesn’t go into a company that could genuinely improve the future.

🇺🇸 You can swap your IP address all day. The Windows installation underneath it still carries a dog tag.
That's the quiet lesson in the Peter Stokes case.
Stokes, a 19-year-old dual U.S.-Estonian citizen, is accused of belonging to the hacking crew Scattered Spider.
Prosecutors say his activity ran through a VPN proxy. The VPN did its one job, masking the network address, but it couldn't hide the machine doing the typing.
Microsoft records allegedly tied that activity to a GDID, a persistent device-level ID baked into a Windows installation.
It survives updates, and telemetry can link it to IP addresses and service activity over time.
Once investigators had it, the same fingerprint allegedly lined up with the VPN proxy, the victim's website, and accounts tied to Stokes across Snapchat, Facebook and Apple, plus travel records and timestamps.
The catch is bigger than one arrest.
A persistent identifier that nails a hacker works just as well on a journalist, a dissident, or an abuse victim.
Your VPN can be working perfectly while your computer keeps talking.

All of this—BTW— is because Massie worked with Ro Khanna to release the Epstein files.

If you want an example of how insulated and unaccountable the U.S. foreign policy elite is, well, we’re living through it right now.
Some of the same folks who assured us that deposing Saddam Hussein and installing a pro-U.S. democracy in Iraq would be cheap and easy are now, a quarter-century later, lecturing us on the importance of defeating Iran (whatever that means). And they’re selling the same snake oil they did back then by promising a new, transformative Middle East and arguing that the war will force adversaries to respect U.S. power again.
You wonder why the U.S. commits the same mistakes over and over? There’s your answer.
We have very short memories as a country. We refuse to look at history, let alone actually heed the lessons of the past. We operate on the same piss poor assumptions, continue to delude ourselves into believing the U.S. military power can will things into existence and consistently underestimate the capabilities of the enemy. And like clockwork, we fail to anticipate the consequences of our own actions. When things don’t go as planned, we put the blame on somebody else (like those entitled Europeans).
I’m not sure what accountability would entail. But what I do know is that doing the same thing and listening to the same people will lead to the same dumb results.

The White House is really using clips from Grand Theft Auto in pro-war propaganda. Lol. We officially live in the dumbest timeline imaginable.
“[requires] a mesh of 4 ESP32 boards” ah man, no spying on randos remotely, i guess
🚨 Someone just turned your WiFi router into a full-body surveillance system.
No cameras. No wearables. No video. Just radio waves.
It's called RuView. It uses the WiFi signals already in your room to detect human poses, track breathing, measure heart rate, and see through walls.
Not a concept. Not a research paper. Working code you can run right now.
Here's what this thing actually does:
→ Tracks full 17-point body pose using only WiFi signals
→ Detects breathing rate (6-30 BPM) without touching anyone
→ Measures heart rate (40-120 BPM) from across the room
→ Sees through walls, furniture, and debris up to 5 meters deep
→ Tracks multiple people simultaneously with zero identity swaps
→ Self-learns from raw WiFi data. No labeled datasets needed
Here's how it works:
WiFi signals pass through your room and hit the human body. The body scatters those signals differently based on position, breathing, even heartbeat. RuView reads that scattering pattern and reconstructs everything.
A mesh of 4 ESP32 nodes ($48 total) gives you 360-degree coverage with 12 measurement links, 20 Hz updates, and sub-30mm precision.
Here's the wildest part:
It has a disaster response mode called WiFi-Mat. It detects survivors trapped under rubble through concrete walls, classifies injury severity using START triage protocol, and estimates 3D position. The kind of tool that saves lives after earthquakes.
The Rust implementation processes 54,000 frames per second. That's 810x faster than the Python version. The entire Docker image is 132 MB.
The AI model fits in 55 KB of memory. Runs on an $8 ESP32 chip.
Train once, deploy in any room. No retraining. No recalibration.
1,100+ tests. SHA-256 verified capability audit.

Secretária de imprensa da Casa Branca Karoline Leavitt encerrou abruptamente a coletiva de imprensa da Casa Branca segundos antes de completar 65 minutos.
Na plataforma Kalshi, havia um mercado apostando se a briefing duraria mais de 65 minutos. Minutos antes do fim, as odds davam 98% de chance para “sim”, tornando a aposta no “não” muito barata.
Quando ela parou exatamente antes da marca, quem apostou no “não” lucrou cerca de 50x em segundos.
Suspeitas de insider trading surgiram porque Leavitt olhou para cima (possivelmente para um relógio ou sinal) antes de cortar.
Nas redes, muitos acreditam que alguém da equipe ou próxima à Casa Branca apostou no “não” nos momentos finais, usando informação privilegiada.
