Summary
Thin slot, mostly noise. No curated retweets from @bayesiansapien, and the AI account feed is dominated by @brivael's political and personal posts plus two promo links. The only substantive AI signal is a one-liner from @MillionInt on the bias-variance versus compute-efficiency tradeoff, framed as a historical pattern of who has won the scaling race. Tesla cluster of three posts rolling out "Hey Grok" voice activation in vehicles is the day's one real product news, though it is closer to a consumer launch than a research signal. Skip everything else.

- Bias-variance vs compute efficiency, who wins at scale (@MillionInt). High-variance low-bias methods scale but waste compute; low-variance high-bias methods are efficient but hit walls fast. MillionInt notes one side has historically won, leaving which side as an exercise for the reader. The bitter lesson, restated as an aphorism.
- Hey Grok lands in Tesla vehicles (cluster of 3, @Tesla, @Tesla, @Tesla). Wake-word voice activation for Grok inside the car, enabled via Grok Settings, with "Goodbye" or "dismiss" to end the session. Includes a user video of asking Grok to navigate home then handing off to FSD. Notable as the first wide consumer deployment of an LLM tied to a wake word inside a moving vehicle.
- Reaction to "ban AI slop on the internet" (@brivael). One-character reaction ("?????") to an argil.ai post calling for a ban on AI-generated content. No argument, just incredulity. Skip.
- Promo links: taap.it and argil.ai (one bullet, @brivael, @brivael). Affiliate-style endorsements of a link-tracking tool and an AI avatar video generator. Skip.
- Political and personal posts from @brivael (cluster of 10, on the West, Bezos vs Mamdani, Kardashev scale, French civilization commentary, PS2 reseller nostalgia, etc.). Off-topic for the wiki. Skip.
