Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control,
a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption,
who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history.
The public is turning against him.
The opposition is motivated.
We can win & we have to win,
but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Symmetrized operators or modified integration measure in Generalized Uncertainty Principle Models
Many Generalized Uncertainty Principle (GUP) models modify the inner-product measure to ensure symmetric position or momentum operators. We show that an alternate approach to these GUPs is to symmetrize the operators rather than modifying the inner product. This preserves the standard momentum space allowing the eigenstates and maximally localized states of the modified position operator to have a standard position representation. We compare both approaches and highlight their merits.

Cosmological Tensions with Non-Extensive Entropic Cosmology: A Modified Stress-Energy Approach
We perform a comprehensive cosmographic analysis of Friedmann cosmologies modified by non-extensive entropy frameworks, focusing on Tsallis, Rényi, and Kaniadakis entropies within a novel modified energy-momentum tensor approach. In our approach the microscopic matter density remains $ρ=m~n$ while the horizon thermodynamics of non-extensive entropy modifies the effective source that drives expansion, $ρ_{eff}=f(ρ)ρ$ which reduces to the standard case for $f(ρ)=1$. By deriving the generali…

Andrew Bosworth says humanoid robots, internally called "Metabot", are Meta's next "AR size bet" and envisions licensing software to other robot makers (Alex Heath/The Verge)

Humanoid robots are Meta’s next ‘AR-size bet’
During a recent trip to Meta HQ, I took the opportunity to ask CTO Andrew Bosworth about its new robotics effort.

It’s always a similar radicalization, it involves it being useful for them in some way and therefore (in their view) anyone who dares to mention any of the 700,000 serious problems with it is a “zealot”.
Followed by ad hominem attacks by doing things like questioning other people’s qualification and motivations; in pretty elaborate temper tantrums.
It does not occur to them they might be wrong, even when repeatedly shown proof that they are.
This is psychological projection, by the way—they attribute their heir own negative feelings to other people.

Four-dimensional Gradient Ricci Solitons Gradient shrinking Ricci Solitons and Modified Sectional Curvature

Four-dimensional Gradient Ricci Solitons Gradient shrinking Ricci Solitons and Modified Sectional Curvature
We investigate four-dimensional gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with positive modified sectional curvature. Our first main result shows that if the norm of the self-dual Weyl tensor and the scalar curvature satisfy a certain sharp pinching condition --closely related, in a precise sense, to that of Kähler metric --then the soliton is necessarily locally Kähler. We further obtain a characterization theorem and a weighted integral gap result for compact gradient shrinking Ricci solitons with …

Cosmological Dynamics of Matter Creation with Modified Chaplygin Gas and Bulk Viscosity
This work presents a comprehensive investigation of a novel cosmological model that unifies the Modified Chaplygin Gas (MCG) equation of state with gravitationally induced matter creation and bulk viscous dissipation in a spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker spacetime. The MCG fluid is characterized by an exotic equation of state $p = Aρ- C/ρ^α$, while the matter creation rate is taken as $Γ= 3βH$ and the bulk viscous pressure as $π= -3Hξ_0 ρ_m^{1/2}$. We derive the modifi…

The whole thing is optimized for scams, deception and other criminal behavior:
- user interface that deceptively pretends it's a human you're talking to
- claims from companies highly exaggerate capabilities
companies and "experts" constantly hype "AGI" which they (funnily enough) do to both make investors greedier and spread fear and as a distraction because these algorithms can't actually do what they keep promising
- large-scale accounting and financial fraud (e.g. what Nvidia is doing with circular selling)
- biggest case of copyright infringement in history
Note: I think the underlying technology is really cool, and definitely has use cases and can be used for actually good things. But: some technology just has more downsides than upsides, and some should only be used by experts in controlled environments. Leaded gasoline, asbestos and chlorofluorocarbon are also all really cool technology.
In this case perhaps the techology itself doesn't do anything inherently bad, however the people making it are lying about what it can do, the people selling it are motivated purely by greed and the people using it (often forced to do so) are being deceived.
