Ace won 3 out of 5 games against elite players w/ 10 yrs or more of experience, but lost 2 against players.

So, will we see robots playing against humans in the tournaments one day?

“The success of Ace, with its perception system and learning-based control algorithm, suggests that similar techniques could be applied to other areas requiring fast, real-time control and human interaction, such as manufacturing and service robotics, as well as applications across sports, entertainment and safety-critical physical domains.” — lead author and project lead at Sony AI Peter Dürr

Luxembourg is now the second country to enshrine abortion rights in its constitution! 🇱🇺✨ France was the first to do so, and I hope other countries will follow suit.

This is a roadmap for how it should be everywhere—protecting freedom in the highest law so it’s “protected forever,” not just “legal for now.”

A massive win for equality! 👏

I applaud Virginia for passing 25 vital gun safety laws—a huge step for reform. However, I’m disappointed that assault weapons with under 15 rounds remain legal. A single magazine can still kill 15 people, which is far too many. Progress is good, but we must address these high-capacity gaps.

The Court says banning conversion therapy silences free speech. But every major medical group calls it harmful and discredited. So when does “free speech” become a license to hurt kids? And on Trans Day of Visibility, of all days — that timing stings. It is a sad day for the LGBT community.
