AI NEWS: Apple is reportedly revisiting talks with OpenAI to put AI into iPhone's iOS 18.

Plus, huge developments from Vidu, Figure, OpenAI, Stardust Astribot, Elon Musk, and a new AI Safety Board.

Here's everything going on in AI right now:
According to a new report from Bloomberg, Apple is revisiting conversations with OpenAI.

The two are negotiating terms for a potential partnership that would see OpenAIโ€™s features integrated into iOS 18.

This could easily be the next 'ChatGPT moment' for major AI adoption. Image
ShengShu just introduced Vidu, a text-to-video AI model that competes with OpenAIโ€™s Sora.

While it feels like a stretch to call this a true โ€˜rivalโ€™ (16-second vs. 60-second generations feels like a big gap), Chinaโ€™s AI models continue to gain on U.S. leaders.

2) The transmission bottleneck refers to the number of viral particles that initiate an infection in a new host. Past studies have suggested for viruses like influenza and SARS-CoV-2, it usually involves just a few particles.
3) The authors developed mathematical models to simulate the physical process of airborne viral transmission through coughing/breathing. Factors like particle emission/diffusion, evaporation, sedimentation, ventilation and virus inactivation over time were accounted for. Image

Roswell and the Phoenix๐Ÿงต

Phoenix, the last word of Hall' statement on the founding of America, is key to the secret destiny of civilization. It reveals the occult design behind the origins of the US and Roswell. These mysteries can be solved if we understand this one word. Image
The word Phoenix derives from the Greek phoinix (phoenician, reddish purple ). The Phoenicians an ancient, mysterious people, inhabited the East coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Though called "Phoenicians" they referred to themselves asย Sidonians. Image
The official narrative on why the Phoenicians were referred to as such is the Tyrian purple, one of the costliest and most mysterious of the dyes of ancient times, used first by the Phoenicians.
In my opinion, they were more likely related to the Scythians, โคต๏ธ Image

This is a thread about how awful this chair design is and why people should stop buying them. Image
The worst issue is that the side bars prevent all but the narrowest of hips from passing, so for most adult bodies, you have these things digging into your love handles and your spine has zero support.

The actual back rest is inexplicably several inches back. Image
The seat itself is always flat - sometimes it's wood instead of metal, but still flat. This creates pressure points on your sit bones, rather than distributing your body's weight across a larger surface area of the butt and thighs. Image

๐ŸงตToday, leaders from the Liberal, Conservative, and NDP parties joined the Khalsa parade (Parade of the Pure) in Toronto to appeal to Khalistan voters.

Trudeau was gifted a sword, while Pierre took things a step further than Trudeau by bending the knee, and Jagmeet delivered his entire speech in Punjabi.
Seeing all political parties having to pander like this reminds me of this interview with ex-Sikh Bob Rai who explains how ghetto politics work in Canada: "This was not the Canada I remember growing up."
Here's how Khalistan activists protest in Canada:

2) The study investigated the long-term cognitive performance of 302 adults who recovered from COVID-19 at least 18 months after infection, categorized based on symptom severity as mild, moderate, or severe.
Cognitive difficulties were found to persist in all three groups...
3) ...with higher percentages in the severe group (49%) compared to moderate (39%) and mild (12%).
Processing speed, attention, working memory, and visuospatial ability were most impacted.

The guy isnโ€™t smart enough to know it but he is making the case for raw milk. The benefits of raw milk microbiologically are in how milkโ€™s natural flora offer protection from pathogens. Threadโ€ฆ
1/
The case he brought up illustrates this perfectly: pasteurized milk is so susceptible to pathogens that it must be kept in perfectly sterile conditions - because there are no means of microbiological regulation naturally - from good bacteria.
2/
Good milk bacteria regulate conditions in milk and can offer protection from pathogens. For example, Lactobacillus spp. will lower the pH of milk creating hostile conditions for pathogens. This is where cheese and yogurt come from but doesnโ€™t even have to be that low of pH

THREAD: The eruption of protests in solidarity with the Palestinian people at numerous Western universities, and throughout the United States in particular, represents a pivotal moment.
College students are, to be sure, not an accurate reflection of public opinion or faithful mirror of their societies. But their activism often serves as a bellwether, an indication of the shape of things to come.
Therein lies the enormous political significance of the encampments that are now being established at dozens of universities, from the Ivy League to state universities.
