Scheherazade survives in One Thousand and One Nights by keeping a king absorbed in one unfinished tale after another. The fable gives storytelling life-or-death power. Ron Shachar’s research asks a quieter version of the same question: does being able to shape events into a compelling narrative change how people understand their own lives?

Techmeme surfaced Google DeepMind’s August 12 release, “Putting sign language AI into users’ hands.” Its sign-language-to-text model, SL2T 1.0, is launching in Gboard and Live Transcribe on the Pixel 11, where it translates American Sign Language into English text. That makes the release more consequential than another benchmark announcement: a long-neglected language interface is moving from research into a consumer product.

The Strait of Hormuz is both a weapon and a trap. Iran can threaten one of the world’s most important oil routes, while America can punish Iran for doing so. Yet neither side can achieve its real goal through force: Washington cannot bomb the waterway open, and Tehran cannot earn money from a passage that ships are too frightened to use.

Lauren Boebert’s son arrested on sexual exploitation of a child charges (r/news)

• sortasolar: [She’s a hypocrite.

The hypocrisy isn’t that Lauren Boebert has a messy family. Everybody has a messy family.

The hypocrisy is that she built a whole political brand around turning other people’s worst facts into permanent public identities: registries, panic, public shaming, “protect the children” theater (pun intended), etc.

For fucks sake stop paying attention to this trash company. They participated in a genocide in Myanmar, they have stolen data, they have not had a single innovative idea since ranking the hotness of women at Harvard. They have had more layoffs than they have had successful products.

A real-time clinical conversation forces an AI system to solve three problems on incompatible clocks. It must answer quickly enough to sustain rapport, reason carefully enough to update a differential diagnosis, and continuously notice visual or auditory evidence that may change the case. Asking one model loop to do all three invites a bad compromise: either the conversation stalls while the model thinks, or the reasoning and perception become shallow enough to keep latency tolerable.

Naming Changes the Experience

“Use your words” is often delivered as an emergency instruction after a child’s emotions have already overwhelmed the room. Psychologist and neuroscientist J. David Creswell argues that the phrase points to something real, but its power lies less in stopping a meltdown on command than in a skill built over time: putting an internal experience into language can change how the mind processes it.

Techmeme surfaced Ben Thompson’s August 11 analysis, “Nvidia’s Risky Business,” alongside the announcement that Nvidia and six Wall Street firms intend to mobilize more than \$500 billion for AI infrastructure. The striking part is not simply the size of the target. It is the proposed transfer of AI-buildout risk from cash-rich technology companies and public bondholders into private-credit funds, insurers, pensions, sovereign wealth, and other pools of long-duration capital.
