What is an extreme positive thing?
It's easy for me to think about what a negative extreme thing is. Negative as in anti-social, and extreme as in the worst, mass.
For instance, rape and murder are the extreme end of a rape joke. Genocide is the extreme end of an everyday slur.
What is positively extreme? I can think of positive things turned bad. Which means, to me, that extremes are inherently negative?
Are there extreme positives?

Earth Rotation Records Spur October Vote to Avert Negative Leap Second
Negative leap second risk is driving an October 2026 CGPM vote to replace the 54-year-old leap second with a leap hour. Earth set rotation speed records in 2024 and 2025, and timekeepers estimate a...

I was happy to participate in this video from Chris the Producer. He created an LLC, hired an actor who built a miserly profile online, and flew a phone via drone into a ritzy area to try to influence the prices derived from data collection. And it worked! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCSwx9LZtD8

NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0.

It was made with real concept artists, and features the faces and voices of 32 real people. Barley Studios will be my new AI studio for creating my own films, the way Oats Studios was for traditional film and VFX. @Barleystudiosai Full film…

Mycket läsvärd recension av Anders Sundelins bok ”Fascisten”. https://www.expressen.se/kultur/hans-fascism-bara--vaxte-efter-forintelsen/

Hans fascism bara växte efter Förintelsen
Sveriges främsta fascist, Per Engdahl, var artig, välformulerad – och en ständig ytterkantsfigur. David Baas läser Anders Sundelins ”Fascisten” och förundras över varför han sjabblar bort sprängstoffet i fascistideologens politiska arv.

Here’s my input to ACM on opening up the Digital Library to LLMs.
I would argue that LLMs are one of the most comprehensively negative developments in computer science that…
