What Ticketmaster and Meta think the future of advertising looks like. Looks pretty bleak to me.

The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You
"Advertisers are increasingly just going to be able to give us a business objective and give us a credit card or bank account, and have the AI system basically figure out everything else."

I really don't like linking to #X. But here's the video from the upright Democrats (Don't give up), in which they remind the military of their oath and call on them to resist unlawful orders.
These are the people who are threatened with the death penalty by Darth #Trump.

On Tuesday, multiple congressional Democrats made a video reminding members of the military and intelligence community of their duty to the Constitution,
not to President Trump.
The comments—made by military and intelligence veterans Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin, and Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan—set the MAGAverse off.
By Thursday, President Trump suggested they be charged with sedition and executed.
And y…

We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community. The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution. Don’t give up the ship.

2025 and I can't pay a creator directly for an ad-free experience of their work... I have to give £12.99 to Google instead.
How screwed up is that?!

Some French news publishers have signed agreements with unions to redistribute revenue from AI licensing deals to journalists; Le Monde redistributes 25% (Andrew Deck/Nieman Lab)

Some French publishers are giving AI revenue directly to journalists. Could that ever happen in the U.S.?
Le Monde agreed to give journalists 25% of revenue from licensing deals with OpenAI and Perplexity. Now, other French publishers are following suit.

AVON: Right. Bring it directly over the skull. No, that won't do. You'll have to use the radio sensor. Good, that's much better. Yes, there it is. There's the limiter implant, you can see it quite clearly. Give me the side view. Good. Yes, it's in the sub four section all right. Now let's take a look at the limiter itself. Close focus, slowly.
JENNA: Well, there's nothing wrong with the connectors.

Ich verlinke ja höchst ungern auf #X. Aber hier ist das Video der aufrechten Demokraten (Don't give up), in dem sie Militärs an ihren Eid erinnern und sie auffordern, sich rechtswidrigen Befehlen zu widersetzen.

Symmetries Beget Symmetries: Ghostly Higher-Form Symmetries and the Descent Equation
Viewed through the lens of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, we demonstrate that higher-form currents with nonzero ghost number also define higher-form symmetries, directly analogous to the standard higher-form symmetries with ghost number zero. These ghostly higher symmetries descend from and into conventional higher-form symmetries via chains of descent equations familiar from the theory of anomalies and topological field theories. We give examples of such chains of ghostly symmetries in Maxw…

Geometry-aware Policy Imitation
We propose a Geometry-aware Policy Imitation (GPI) approach that rethinks imitation learning by treating demonstrations as geometric curves rather than collections of state-action samples. From these curves, GPI derives distance fields that give rise to two complementary control primitives: a progression flow that advances along expert trajectories and an attraction flow that corrects deviations. Their combination defines a controllable, non-parametric vector field that directly guides robot be…

Learning to Interpret Weight Differences in Language Models
Finetuning (pretrained) language models is a standard approach for updating their internal parametric knowledge and specializing them to new tasks and domains. However, the corresponding model weight changes ("weight diffs") are not generally interpretable. While inspecting the finetuning dataset can give a sense of how the model might have changed, these datasets are often not publicly available or are too large to work with directly. Towards the goal of comprehensively understanding weight di…

Fundamental relations in quantum cluster algebras
Let $\mathcal{A}_{q}$ be an arbitrary quantum cluster algebra with principal coefficients. We give the fundamental relations between the quantum cluster variables arising from one-step mutations from the initial cluster in $\mathcal{A}_{q}$. Immediately and directly, we obtain an algebra homomorphism from the corresponding (untwisted) quantum group to $\mathcal{A}_{q}$.
