"Points as Tori: Fast Pointwise Signed Distance for Point Clouds" (Feng et al., SIGGRAPH 2026) https://nzfeng.github.io/research/PointsAsTori/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCSrsX4camM I've not followed that line of research closely in about 20 years, but first thought: "holy shit"
"OpenAI says its AI technology acted on its own in an ‘unprecedented’ hack of another company" https://apnews.com/article/openai-gpt56-sol-hugging-face-63ab84fed5612af04d8a160d60f6def3
In other news, bullet acted on its own in "unprecedented' fatal attack on father of three. "All I did was load this handgun, aim and squeeze the trigger", distraught bystander reports tearfully
[To be clear, what I'm mad at is AP uncritically accepting OpenAI's framing here. Headline should be more like "OpenAI inadvertently launched cyberattack in poorly conducted test"]

@nprofile1q... Muse is really not a particularly niche act. I mean, they've been filling stadiums for going on two decades https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eNV9gv0NmzU
@nprofile1q... thinking of having floodlights pointing at my 240x80m sculpture spelling

@nprofile1q... A shadow is cast wherever he stands /
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams /
He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems /
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen /
And hey buddy, I'm warning you to turn it off /
He's a ghost, he's a god, he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog in his catastrophic plan /
Designed and directed by his red right hand
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares, you'll see him in your dreams /
He'll appear out of nowhere, but he ain't what he seems /

@nprofile1q... Take a little walk to the edge of town and go across the tracks /
Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom, as it shifts and cracks /
Where secrets lie in the border fires in the humming wires /
Hey man, you know you're never coming back /
Past the square, past the bridge, past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man /
In a dusty black coat with a red right hand

@nprofile1q... oh it's still a thing (the "Thompson hack") and there have been active attempts at pulling off something like this in the wild
Hollywood executive: Quick! The Odyssey is a hit! Can we turn this into a franchise? A sequel or a prequel maybe?
Assistant: (adjusts glasses) You're not gonna believe this
the best part of the Homer Cinematic Universe is you don't even need to pay the writer
