The crow king and Queen Bee meet in a neutral spot for a parlay. In this meeting of the monarchs, the king comes eye to eye with the queen who sits atop her crown.

When Black Friday comes
I'll collect everything I'm owed
And before my friends find out
I'll be on the road

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.

My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.
A Twitter account called Ivanka News tweets an AI image of a young woman wearing Muslim garb. The woman is holding a sign that says "I came here illegally. Should I be deported?" Ivanka News writes: What is your response to this person ?? In the "About this account" tab, it appears the account is based in Nigeria An account called MAGA scope writes: Who, in your view is the great enemy of the United States? Communism, Islam, Democratic Party, or Satan? The account is based in Nigeria. An account called MAGA Nadine writes: You go to work and find this. What would you do? The attached pic is an AI image that shows a microwave. The microwave has a sign that says "For religious reasons, this microwave is now making halal food only." The account is based in Morocco. An account called America First posts an AI image of Tulsi Gabbard. They wrote: How would you rate your trust in Tulsi Gabbard on a scale of 1-10?

“The voice from the outer world”
Timothée Chalamet's star power was in full force in Manhattan on Thursday as fans clamored to get merch for "Marty Supreme," a movie about a fictional pingpong champion that none of them will see until Christmas. They Came for Timothée. They Left With $250 Windbreakers.

Douglas Adams Hitchhikers Guide quote: "Vogon poetry is of course the third worst in the Universe. The second worst is that of the Azgoths of Kria. During a recitation by their Poet Master Grunthos the Flatulent of his poem "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" four of his audience members died of internal haemorrhaging, and the President of the Mid-Galactic Arts Nobbling Council survived by gnawing one of his own legs off. Grunthos is reported to have been "disappointed" by the poem's reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his twelve-book epic entitled My Favorite Bathtime Gurgles when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save life and civilization, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain. The very worst poetry of all perished along with its creator, Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings of Greenbridge, Essex, England, in the destruction of the planet Earth." "Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings" has been superimposed with "Robert F Kennedy Jr"

The next time you look at a book or film or game and sneer at how being very smart and very charismatic just makes the whole plot go by in Easy Mode for a character, I need you to remember that WH meeting yesterday.

"okay, fine. two 4070's and a 5060 Ti. please, i have to feed my family"

the chicken farmer was unimpressed by my midrange offer, but a day of scavenging abandoned data centers didn't yield easy H200s anymore. i would have to rely on his weakness for ray tracing if i wanted to eat meat tonight

2. Amygdala Value Learning ( amygdala/ - 5 files) Purpose: Phase 1 implementation - Learn value associations from reward/punishment signals. Neurobiological Mapping (89% fidelity): • Lateral nucleus: Sensory input reception (RewardProcessor, PunishmentProcessor) • Basal nucleus: Value association storage (valueLUT in Amygdala ValueLearner) • Central nucleus: Output generation (learning orchestration) • VTA/SNc: Dopaminergic reward prediction error (DopamineModulator) Classes • RewardProcessor • Exponential moving average: reward_t = reward_{t-1} + a(R- reward_(t-1}) • Implements positive reinforcement encoding • Parameters: learningRate (default 0.1), saturating at 1.0 • Performance: 0.035 microseconds • PunishmentProcessor • Exponential moving average with saturation dynamics • Punishments can override rewards or modulate them • Parameters: learningRate (default 0.1), saturation at 1.0 • Performance: 0.038 microseconds • TDLearningEngine • Temporal difference learning: 5 = R + yV(s') - V(s) • Value update: V - V + a • Bellman equation implementation with configurable discount factor • Parameters: learningRate (default 0.1), discountFactor (default 0.95) • Performance: 0.041 microseconds • Validated to 1e-5 precision against Bellman optimality • DopamineModulator • Phasic dopamine response: burst for positive RPE, dip for negative • Modulates learning rate by dopamine level: effective_a = base_a × (1 + phasic_burst) • Implements D1/D2 opponent processes • Performance: 0.044 microseconds • AmygdalaValueLearner • High-level coordinator integrating all components • Maintains ConcurrentHashMap for thread-safe value storage • Pipeline: reward → punishment → TD error → dopamine modulation → value update • Public API: learn Value(object, reward, punishment), getValue(object)
