""If you're not the leading expert in the field, I think the progress has been such that you probably won't even notice the improvements from now on," says Frey.
Last year, the big topic was whether AI labs were seeing diminishing returns when simply trying to throw more data and compute power at the models. That may go some way to explain how GPT-5 landed, but it's not the only factor.
Between the launch of GPT-4 in March 2023 and GPT-5 last month, OpenAI rolled out well over a dozen models, each one focusing on specific jobs or incrementally improving another. It's perhaps no wonder, then, that GPT-5 didn't blow our socks off. (In the same conversation in which Altman claimed AI is in a bubble, he also claimed that OpenAI has more advanced models than GPT-5, but can't deploy them because it doesn't have the capacity.)
Google's latest frontier model, Gemini 2.5, is also a bridge model, and the launch of GPT-5 may serve as a healthy warning to temper expectations for Gemini 3, which is expected before the year's end.
"The progress just feels more continuous," says David Krueger, an assistant professor at the University of Montreal who studies AI safety and risks.
Krueger still thinks we'll have the occasional "wow" moment, but said he also believes we'll need more breakthroughs on the technical side to reach any level of artificial intelligence that can go toe-to-toe with a human — and he says he doesn't believe we will reach AGI from large language models alone.
"I think LLMs and more broadly deep learning are probably a big piece of the puzzle. If I had to bet, the biggest one," he says. "But I think we're maybe missing a couple of puzzle pieces.""

How many examples does #MAGA need to prove that Trump is not on their side? That he thinks if he just acts the bully towards the people they hate (sometimes justifiably) that they will defend him online and to their loved ones, vote for him and keep him protected by enough loyal Congressmen to do any selfish, outside the norm and possibly unconstitutional shit he thinks up daily. I guess this assumes our media ecosystem still gets news like this to them.

Non posso che concordare.
Secondo me l'amore a prima vista non esiste, perché l'amore nasce dalla conoscenza, non dalla proiezione dei nostri desideri sull'altro. Può esserci intesa, feeling, curiosità, per lə allosessuali immagino anche attrazione animale, sicuramente non amore.
Spesso quello che è ""amore"" frettoloso, poi, è solo desiderio di controllo e codipendenza.
Vero anche che a volte le persone si vendono per qualcosa che non sono, ma dopo qualche mese (per lə sfortunatə anche anni) la maschera cala ed è lì che la domanda è valida "ma questa persona mi piace per come è o mi piaceva l'idea che avevo di questa persona?"

Lululemon Plunges On Weak Guidance As Sexy Leggings Demand Slumps
Lululemon Plunges On Weak Guidance As Sexy Leggings Demand Slumps
Lululemon shares in New York crashed on Friday after the upscale athletic apparel retailer slashed its full-year earnings guidance, citing the Trump administration's move to end the de minimis exemption loophole.
"This is a disappointing update from LULU, and we expect shares to underperform peers tomorrow as a result," Goldman analyst Brooke Roach wrote in a first take note to clients after the earnings release on Thursday.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Across the board, Lululemon cut its FY25 outlook, lowering revenue expectations in the US, Canada, and China as demand for its overpriced sports bras, workout tops, and leggings weakens.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Roach provided more color on the outlook downgrade:
The company lowered its FY25 outlook across all key line items. For FY25, LULU's lowered its revenue growth expectations for the US, Canada and China as consumer demand for the brand continues to soften, and margin pressures have increased as a result of (1) Incremental tariff rate increases (~50bps net headwind vs. 40bps prior); (2) Changes in the de minimis exemption (~170bps net headwind); (3) Elevated promotionality (~50bps headwind vs. 10-20bps prior); and (4) Incremental SG&A deleverage due to FX and ongoing investments in Power of 3x2 initiatives (~80-90bps deleverage vs. ~50bps prior). Management noted they expect a ~$320mn EBIT headwind from tariffs (incl. de minimis pressures) as they look out to FY26.
As a result, Lululemon shares plunged in New York, down about 16% by 10:00 a.m. EST. Year-to-date, the stock is off 55%, hitting lows not seen since early 2020.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
Roach is "Neutral" on the stock. He explained (dropbox.com/scl/fi/657g62amk3c…
) that he lowered his 12-month price target to $200 from the previously stated $232.
Other Wall Street analysts noted weakness in its US business. Stifel downgraded the stock to "Hold" from "Buy."
According to Bloomberg data, 28.9% of Wall Street analysts rate the stock a "Buy," 57.9% a "Hold," and 13.2% a "Sell."
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
More commentary (courtesy of Bloomberg):
Stifel's Peter McGoldrick (cut to hold from buy, PT to $205 from $324)
The meaning FY25 guidance cut was due to challenges from domestic market pressures and removal of the de minimis exemption
While the acknowledgment of underperformance within the casual side of the business is a starting point, "reigniting brand momentum in the US is likely to take longer than we had previously anticipated"
Bloomberg Intelligence's Poonam Goyal
"Lululemon is facing increased pain from tariffs and slowing sales, notably in the Americas"
Along with guidance for a $240 million annual hit to gross profit from tariffs and the removal of the de minimis exemption, the company cut its earnings guide
JPMorgan's Matthew Boss (neutral, PT to $191 from $224)
The company's 2Q same-store-sales was weighed down by weak Americas comps, "which sequentially worsened over the course of the quarter despite taking higher than planned markdowns"
"Merchandise mix reset required into spring 2026"
Jefferies' Randal Konik (underperform; PT $150)
Says the US business is declining, adding that the third- quarter earnings appear to be a "little better," but the topline miss is the major issue due to competition and will continue to worsen given the below Street outlook
"We believe guidance cuts continue and will become more severe through the end of the fiscal year"
EMARKETER's Suzy Davidkhanian
Lululemon's second-quarter results were mixed as revenue grew 7% to $2.5 billion, but missed guidance, while adjusted EPS beat expectations
"Once the trailblazer in athleisure, Lululemon has lost its innovation edge, now squeezed by luxury newcomers like Alo Yoga and private-label dupes with comparable fabric tech at lower prices"
"Looking ahead, holiday gifting may provide a short-term lift, but sustainable growth hinges on whether Lululemon can move credibly into new sport verticals and find the right formula for its footwear"

ActBlue Lawyers Subpoenaed As House GOP Investigation Into Donor Fraud Intensifies
ActBlue Lawyers Subpoenaed As House GOP Investigation Into Donor Fraud Intensifies
amgreatness.com/2025/09/05/act…
,
Three top lawyers for the Democratic fundraising organization ActBlue have been subpoenaed by members of the House Administration, Judiciary and Oversight committees who are probing the group’s ties to alleged fraudulent donations.
cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inl…
The individuals who have been summoned to be deposed by House investigators include former ActBlue general counsel Darrin Hurwitz and ex-director and associate general counsel Aaron Ting as well as another anonymous ActBlue lawyer.
They have been asked to appear for depositions on Oct. 15, 21 and 28.
🚨 Our investigation into ActBlue continues.
Today, Chairmen twitter.com/RepBryanSteil?ref_…
issued subpoenas to one current and two former ActBlue employees to appear for depositions.

— House Admin. Committee GOP (@HouseAdmin) twitter.com/HouseAdmin/status/…
The nypost.com/2025/09/04/us-news/…
that records previously uncovered by the House committees show that Hurwitz, Ting and the unidentified counsel worked with the platform’s fraud prevention team to relax the organization’s donation standards during the 2024 election cycle.
ActBlue is accused of allowing debit and credit transactions to be processed without requiring a card verification value (CVV) until January 2024 and then further instructed employees to “look for reasons to accept contributions.”
In April and September of 2024, guidelines were further relaxed allowing between 14 and 28 fraudulent contributions each month.
A report released in March from House Oversight and Administration Committee staff, showed that ActBlue had 1900 fraudulent transactions between February 2022 and November 2024.
The letter released Thursday by the House committees, says, “Other internal ActBlue documents show that top fraud-prevention staff assessed that there were several mechanisms by which bad actors could evade ActBlue’s fraud-prevention systems and make illicit donations.”
In that letter, Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil (R-WI), Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) affirmed that, “Congress has a specific interest in ensuring that bad actors, including foreign actors, cannot make fraudulent or illegal political donations through online fundraising platforms. Our oversight to date indicates that current law may be insufficient to stop these illicit donations.”
The organization was also found to have fraudulently used the names and personal confidential information of American citizens, without their knowledge or permission, to launder money through the ActBlue platform.
An overnight investigation has found even more disturbing evidence of donation fraud in my name...
ActBlue FEC campaign reports claim I donated multiple $2 amounts to Democratic candidates in Kansas.
