You might examine the previous UN speeches for AI and not be surprised. Even all political speeches throughout history. Then, think what rhetoric teaches humans. Then, think therefore you are, what is something teachable without a pattern.
Foreign leaders are using identical sentences in their UN speeches, almost down to the word. Coincidence or AI?
Here are three examples that @GPTZeroAI found 1/

One-person company is the new SME. Larger organizations would not let their data leak.
With hundreds of LLMs available, model selection is becoming an optimization problem.
OpenRouter MCP lets you route tasks to the best model dynamically. Add evals and feedback loops, and you’ve built your own AI autorouter.
Today's crisis isn't missing information or manufactured doubt, it's systems that already know, and therefore decide, too much. How can art expose and reroute predictive power?
This essay, "Art After Manufactured Certainty," names a practice I call Predictive Realism and reads seven artists alongside my own work, with a network map of the field from algorithmic satire to autonomous agents.

First presented at Harvard's Data|Art Symposium last year, now a full essay. Curious what you think.

Big congrats @barabasi And thank you for building those bridges across the sciences and the arts.
Honored to receive the Euler Award, the @netscisociety's highest recognition.
It was particularly meaningful to receive at the 20th anniversary meeting of the @netscisociety surrounded by the students, postdocs, collaborators who made this possible.
Let us continue the journey!

Overdue invoices trigger cascading liquidity crunches across obligation networks, like phantom traffic jams without accidents or bottlenecks. Nothing is broken. Timing alone creates the shock.
Clearing dissolves the jam by netting obligations across the payment graph before they propagate. @cyclesmoney is building this at internet scale.
Its called Shannon. Claude Code but for hacking.

Fixed-rate/fixed-term debt dominates credit markets for good reason:
~30% productive borrowers need cost certainty to match variable production revenues/timelines.
~70% refinancing borrowers want to lock in low long-term costs & extend maturities.
To serve them, DeFi lending needs not just global orderbooks, but also bootstrapped liquidity and paths to onchain credit scores.
Forced account-location reveal outs the bots while doxing the anons. If X also kept bio-version history, it would verify my line when I signed up in 2007: “machine readable artist.”
this is disastrous that you needed to be terminally online and had less than 24h heads up to switch away from twitter showing your country to everyone.
awful rollout with no user choice or consent whatsoever. this was the exact case for a terms of service update email that would have allowed some time to delete if you disagreed with the new policy.
sad seeing people cheering on further erosion of pseudonymity. such a massive gift for oppressive regimes, im sure this will have chilling effects.
remember there were times when it was up to platforms to dismantle manipulation networks and proudly post about it. hasn't been a case since 2022.
The Chief Troll Officer is on active duty, weaponizing his own platform to misinform the public. New York’s had enough. Another world is possible, make it happen!
Elon is truly the dumbest smart person ever:
-Your ID is not required because your information is checked against the voter role.
-Candidates appear on the ballot for each eligible party that endorses them. (For Mamdani this was Dems and WFP.)
-Cuomo is last in the bottom right because he made a brand new party to run as no one wanted to endorse him.
-None of this impacts voting. How stupid do you need to be to think someone would walk in to vote for Cuomo, but suddenly pick Mamdani because Cuomo was only on there once?
It shows how little Elon thinks about people that he thinks you’ll be bamboozled by standard ballot measures.

Nonsense.
1. NYC doesn't have voter ID laws
2. In New York, the state, multiple parties can endorse the same candidate, so some can appear multiple times. Sliwa, the Republican, is also listed twice!
3. Eric Adams is on the ballot because he dropped out too late
4. Cuomo lost the primary, and ran as an indy, and ballots list major party candidates first
Maybe you don't like the rules. Fine. But posting this stuff on X with zero context makes people think there is fraud or cheating. These are just the rules being applied to candidates evenly.
Hence, Florentine bankers didn’t use zero in their accounting.
