American/Israeli fighter jets are now reportedly targeting the pistachio warehouses of Iranian Pistachio companies (this one is near Rafsanjan airport)...
They are targeting Iranian pistachios due to decades of Israeli-American lobbying in DC for war. Meet the Resnik family⏳:
They are targeting Iranian pistachios due to decades of Israeli-American lobbying in DC for war. Meet the Resnik family⏳:
The Resnik family owns the Wonderful Company brand, and they have spent years lobbying in DC for a war with Iran to choke off their global pistachio market share.
Tax records from their foundation show annual donations to the IDF ranging from $200,000 to $500,000.
Between 2015 and 2022, they donated $2.4 million to the IDF alone.

Between 2015 and 2022, they donated $2.4 million to the IDF alone.
The Wonderful Company is known for supporting Republican congressmen David Valadao, Keven McCarthy, and Devin Nunes. All three are vehemently pro-Iran war.
The Resniks have also donated to prominent think tanks and lobby groups that promote confrontational, pro-war stances towards Iran, including the Washington Institute on Near East Policy, which notably held a conference calling for American support in an Iranian regime change (through American war intervention).

1/7 The concern that striking Iran's power infrastructure will harm civilians is real and I don't dismiss it. But let's be honest about who has been doing the most damage to Iranian civilians long before any foreign missile flew.
The Iranian regime has spent 45 years destroying the very infrastructure its people depend on through corruption, mismanagement, and ideological obsession. No foreign invasion has caused what the Islamic Republic has inflicted on its own people.

2/7 Iran's power grid is in permanent crisis — not because of war, but because of the regime. The electricity deficit reached ~20,000 MW in early 2026 — roughly 1/3 of total demand — before a single U.S. strike. Aging plants, zero investment. Iranians have been living with rolling blackouts for years.
3/7 Even the blackouts aren't equal. In Tehran, wealthier northern neighborhoods suffer only 1% of blackouts, while poorer southern districts bear 32% of them. The regime calls it "fair distribution." Iranians know better.

Thanks to @HagFeminist for tipping me off to something that I hadn't noticed before: that the influential body in Norway, the Biotechnology Council, has said that Norwegian athletes should be able to get the SRY screen in Norway, and the law should be changed accordingly.
... this was back in February. This seems to me entirely reasonable. I can see the general point of a law preventing the use of genetic testing for non-medical purposes - to prevent the exploitative use of testing in employment decisions, for example. ...
... but I don't think this carries over to sex testing for sport eligibility. So I think the Norwegian change of view makes sense. It isn't law, yet.
The reason this is significant is because many of the legal academics on the other side make a Very Big Deal ...

This study suggests a possible mechanism for how SARS-CoV-2 could harm neurons in the inner ear.
Not mainly through inflammation, but potentially through a more direct effect on spiral ganglion neurons, involving disrupted mTOR signaling, abnormal stress granules, and eventually - apoptosis🧵
Not mainly through inflammation, but potentially through a more direct effect on spiral ganglion neurons, involving disrupted mTOR signaling, abnormal stress granules, and eventually - apoptosis🧵
That matters because spiral ganglion neurons are not some minor supporting cells. They are the neurons - that carry sound information from the cochlea into the auditory pathway.
If they are damaged, the problem is not just in the ear. It affects the neural transmission of sound itself.
If they are damaged, the problem is not just in the ear. It affects the neural transmission of sound itself.
The authors try to map out an actual chain of events. In their model, infection - and especially spike related effects - seems to disturb the cell’s stress-response machinery.
Stress granules start accumulating abnormally, mTOR signaling drops, and the neuron is pushed closer to cell death.

🚨SHOCKING: Apple just proved that AI models cannot do math. Not advanced math. Grade school math. The kind a 10-year-old solves.
And the way they proved it is devastating.
Apple researchers took the most popular math benchmark in AI — GSM8K, a set of grade-school math problems — and made one change. They swapped the numbers. Same problem. Same logic. Same steps. Different numbers.
Every model's performance dropped. Every single one. 25 state-of-the-art models tested.
But that wasn't the real experiment.
The real experiment broke everything.
They added one sentence to a math problem. One sentence that is completely irrelevant to the answer. It has nothing to do with the math. A human would read it and ignore it instantly.
Here's the actual example from the paper:
"Oliver picks 44 kiwis on Friday. Then he picks 58 kiwis on Saturday. On Sunday, he picks double the number of kiwis he did on Friday, but five of them were a bit smaller than average. How many kiwis does Oliver have?"
The correct answer is 190. The size of the kiwis has nothing to do with the count.
A 10-year-old would ignore "five of them were a bit smaller" because it's obviously irrelevant. It doesn't change how many kiwis there are.
But o1-mini, OpenAI's reasoning model, subtracted 5. It got 185.
Llama did the same thing. Subtracted 5. Got 185.
They didn't reason through the problem. They saw the number 5, saw a sentence that sounded like it mattered, and blindly turned it into a subtraction.
The models do not understand what subtraction means. They see a pattern that looks like subtraction and apply it. That is all.
Apple tested this across all models. They call the dataset "GSM-NoOp" — as in, the added clause is a no-operation. It does nothing. It changes nothing.
The results are catastrophic.
Phi-3-mini dropped over 65%. More than half of its "math ability" vanished from one irrelevant sentence.
GPT-4o dropped from 94.9% to 63.1%.
o1-mini dropped from 94.5% to 66.0%.
o1-preview, OpenAI's most advanced reasoning model at the time, dropped from 92.7% to 77.4%.
Even giving the models 8 examples of the exact same question beforehand, with the correct solution shown each time, barely helped. The models still fell for the irrelevant clause.
This means it's not a prompting problem. It's not a context problem. It's structural.
The Apple researchers also found that models convert words into math operations without understanding what those words mean. They see the word "discount" and multiply. They see a number near the word "smaller" and subtract. Regardless of whether it makes any sense.
The paper's exact words: "current LLMs are not capable of genuine logical reasoning; instead, they attempt to replicate the reasoning steps observed in their training data."
And: "LLMs likely perform a form of probabilistic pattern-matching and searching to find closest seen data during training without proper understanding of concepts."
They also tested what happens when you increase the number of steps in a problem. Performance didn't just decrease. The rate of decrease accelerated. Adding two extra clauses to a problem dropped Gemma2-9b from 84.4% to 41.8%. Phi-3.5-mini from 87.6% to 44.8%. The more thinking required, the more the models collapse.
A real reasoner would slow down and work through it. These models don't slow down. They pattern-match. And when the pattern becomes complex enough, they crash.
This paper was published at ICLR 2025, one of the most prestigious AI conferences in the world.
You are using AI to help you make financial decisions. To check legal documents. To solve problems at work. To help your children with homework. And Apple just proved that the AI is not thinking about any of it. It is pattern matching. And the moment something unexpected shows up in your question, it breaks. It does not tell you it broke. It just quietly gives you the wrong answer with full confidence.

1/The kiwi problem is the one that should haunt every AI company.
The model saw "five of them were a bit smaller than average" and subtracted 5. It didn't ask why size would affect a count. It didn't flag the sentence as irrelevant. It just saw a number next to a descriptive word and assumed it was an operation.
That is not a reasoning error. That is the absence of reasoning entirely.

2/The scariest result in this paper is not the 65% drop. It's what happened when they gave the model 8 solved examples of the exact same question right before asking it.
The model had the answer key. It had the logic laid out step by step. Eight times. Then it saw one irrelevant sentence in the ninth version and still got it wrong.
You cannot fix this with better prompts.

@araplimo39 Mr. Limo, let me give you some advice that you can use in this situation so you can fight your battles better, because I have been in a similar situation before, and I have learnt so many things from this kind of experience.
@araplimo39 If you ever find yourself in a negative situation, please never add anything negative in that situation, the problem will become worse.
@araplimo39 Porn is negative. Block all porn websites from your devices, and only add positive energy into that negative situation, until positive becomes too strong to overcome the negative situation. If you will need to leave Twitter, do it.

Introducing our new AI Chip Owners explorer, showing our analysis of how leading AI chips are distributed among hyperscalers and other major players, broken down by chip type over time.
To estimate global compute ownership, we build on our previous estimates of overall AI chip sales. We then use earnings commentary from chipmakers and hyperscalers, as well as media reports and industry researcher estimates, to allocate chips across owners.
We estimate that over 60% of global AI compute is owned by the top US hyperscalers, led by Google with the equivalent of roughly 5 million Nvidia H100 GPUs!
Unlike the other hyperscalers, which rely primarily on Nvidia, Google’s fleet is dominated by its custom TPU chips.
