Bandai Asks Japanese Politicians to Not Dress Up as ‘Gundam’ Characters to Campaign

Sure, America occasionally has a “The White House is photoshopping the president’s head onto Superman posters” problem, but it turns out plenty of other countries also have a bit of an issue with politicians leveraging pop culture cosplaying for political gain. It’s just that those other countries will have studios telling them to quit it.

President Trump announced that the United States’ stance on intellectual property and AI would be a “commonsense application” that does not force AI companies to pay for each piece of copyrighted material used in training frontier models. “You can't be expected to have a successful AI program when every single article, book, or anything else that you've read or studied, you're supposed to pay for,” Trump said. “We appreciate that, but just can't do it— because it's not doable.” The president al

Trump’s ‘anti-woke AI’ order could reshape how US tech companies train their models

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-27 05:25:08

When DeepSeek, Alibaba, and other Chinese firms released their AI models, Western researchers quickly noticed they sidestepped questions critical of the Chinese Communist Party. U.S. officials later confirmed that these tools are engineered to reflect Beijing’s talking points, raising concerns about censorship and bias. American AI leaders like OpenAI have pointed to this as justification for advancing their tech quickly, without too much regulation or oversight. As OpenAI’s chief global affair

Building better AI tools

I’ve been reading this week about how humans learn, and effective ways of transferring knowledge. In addition, I’ve also had AI in the back of my mind, and recently I’ve come to the realization that not only is our industry building AI tools poorly, we’re building them backwards. Which, honestly, is really depressing to me because there is so much unrealized potential that we have available–is it not enough that we built the LLMs unethically, and that they waste far more energy than they return

Major rule about cooking meat turns out to be wrong

Contrary to common belief, resting meat isn’t really about retaining juices, but that doesn’t mean it’s pointless. Instead, it’s best understood as a temperature-control method for managing carryover cooking. To use it effectively, though, you have to completely rethink how the technique works and how to apply it. Is dark matter real? How do consciousness and memory actually work? And is it really necessary to rest your meat after cooking? These are the big, unresolved questions that keep scien
