Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos is the subject of the exhibition "Venus" at Lisbon’s Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology (MAAT), which places her monumental, brightly colored, and highly decorative works in dialogue with Italian fashion designer Valentino. Known for using domestic details and needlework in large-scale sculptures, Vasconcelos expresses frustration with female artists whose work focuses primarily on pain and suffering, advocating instead for expression through joy. While her grand scale and collaborations with luxury fashion houses and corporations have drawn criticism, her studio employs a large team of hand-sewers and craftspeople, honoring the labor and skill historically confined to domestic or behind-the-scenes spaces.
Keywords: Joana Vasconcelos, art, sculpture, Valentino, Lisbon, contemporary art
In April 2025, Elgin Community College had six Flock safety cameras installed to enhance campus security. By September 2025, the school administration raised concerns that Flock was sharing data with Customs and Border Patrol, that the camera feeds lacked proper security, and regarding the involvement of law enforcement.

This research paper explores the presence, behavior, and functional relevance of attention sinks in text-to-image Transformers, examining both bidirectional diffusion and causal autoregressive models. Through systematic analysis and targeted interventions, the study identifies that attention sinks emerge in both model types with distinct patterns across layers, heads, and generation stages. Autoregressive models concentrate attention on the first and global-scale tokens, whereas bidirectional models form sinks near modality boundaries, text regions, and spatial corners. The authors also investigate the functional relevance of these sinks by perturbing sink-related heads and token positions, and they introduce register tokens to redistribute attention sinks, observing that certain configurations preserve or improve generation performance.
Keywords: attention sinks, text-to-image, transformers, diffusion models, autoregressive models, artificial intelligence

The research paper "Understanding Mamba-3 Through Oscillatory Dynamics" examines the input-dependent rotations introduced in Mamba-3's recurrent state updates by interpreting them as underdamped second-order dynamics. Through controlled comparisons, language-model pretraining, and model interventions, the study finds that underdamped dynamics outperform non-oscillatory damping on state-tracking tasks, improve long-context prediction and length generalization, and help regulate how retained information combines with incoming updates.
Keywords: Mamba-3, oscillatory dynamics, sequence modeling, machine learning, neural networks

Aaron Sorkin's film "The Social Reckoning," a follow-up to "The Social Network," is projected to earn $5.5 million domestically in its opening weekend, falling below studio projections of $7 million to $8 million. The article notes that the film's darker subject matter focusing on whistleblower Frances Haugen, combined with changing theatrical landscapes, underwhelming reviews, and shifting audience priorities toward AI, may contribute to its weak box office start. Additionally, the opening weekend box office includes Alex Gibney's documentary "Musk," which grossed $69,000 across four theaters, as part of an upcoming fall lineup of media centered on real-world tech figures and companies.
Keywords: Aaron Sorkin, Social Reckoning, tech CEOs, movies
Staff members at the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago are moving to unionize, citing increased workloads, benefit rollbacks, increased healthcare costs, suspended promotions, and reduced paid time off. Workers reported receiving vague responses from the Obama Foundation leadership regarding these concerns, leading to high staff turnover and the loss of institutional knowledge. Additionally, the article notes that the center's construction costs exceeded the initial $300 million budget to reach upwards of $850 million, with subcontractors previously alleging unpaid invoices.
