Atheist have a better understanding of religion than people who believe. What an irony.

Headline: Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot from shoes to AI, socks explore more than 700%

Huh

I would be interested in seeing China impose a blockade in the straight of Hormuz.

I have been preaching for multiplayer agents for a while! So glad to see smarter people than me are exploring that too!

I've been playing with Wispr for a couple of hours, and it's mind-blowing. I wonder if I'll ever teach a keyboard again.

At least orban conceded, unlike trump or bolsonaro, and (at least for now) seems to be working toward a peaceful transfer of power.

The nerds are building a new internet, and I could feel it in the room The AT Protocol is a quiet attempt to rebuild social software the way email was built — open, portable, owned by no one. A meetup in Portland this week made the stakes feel real.

“The open web […] didn't win because the tools were better. It won because a critical mass of people decided that the alternative, a handful of AOL-style walled gardens choosing what everyone saw, was not the future they wanted. Then they built their way out of it.” timtrautmann.com/blog/the-ner...

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

THEY SENT FOUR HUMAN BEINGS 252,756 MILES AWAY, WENT FULLY AROUND THE MOON AND BROUGHT THEM BACK TO LAND IN THE PRECISE LOCATION THEY WANTED

EVERYONE WHO WORKED ON THIS IS THE COOLEST PERSON ON EARTH

And yet mankind keeps wasting money, attention and lives throwing stones, bullets, missiles and drones at each other.

The US lost a war that it started.

Another good post related to the one u wrote last week : ouvre-boite.com/the-open-web...

If there was say a massive order of tacos to be delivered from every mexican restaurant in DC, Mar-a-lago or other cities trump visits, I would gladly participate :)

I stand corrected. They have been patched.

It's fascinating to see trump fan and apologists claim that he's just doing what the iranian leadership did for years.

We all have different models.

Have FFMPEG, OpenBSD been patched in the last few days/weeks?

If not, I worry this is more marketing and less responsible disclosure...

I can't help but cynically believe that the economic incentives for Anthropic (OpenAI and others) are just to claim that their models are now so powerful that they can't release them.

It's creating massive FOMO, helps them raise more, and means we all want to play with that.

Anthropic Claims Its New A.I. Model, Mythos, Is a Cybersecurity ‘Reckoning’

How much of "our latest model is too smart/good/dangerous" to be released is marketing?

I use Claude on a daily basis (and I hit usage limits every week, and almost every day on a $200 personal account, on top of my pro account), so I know it's good... BUT

Some cancers are benign too :)

Religion is cancer, but it's also contagious.

Drones, blockchains, and climate: The nation-state is not that old, and probably not long for this world.

When people say that agent generated code is going to be a pain to maintain: they are right... but I think that may actually be a feature.

The code has become a lot more disposable. The question is how does its "surface" remain unchanged.

Maybe the biggest harm that silicon valley brought us was that lots of people don't believe that technological progress can bring us toward a better future...

... ensuring that incumbent technologies persist longer than they should.

Also, it looks like inference costs are in fact the bulk of the cost, which means the marginal cost is NOT going to 0 (unlike, Saas or even "installed" software).

If the $200 Max plan from anthropic actually costs 10x in anthropic credits, I doubt that anyone without a high paying full time job will be able to afford it.

I just showed the kids the game of life, gave them a sheet of paper, a pencil and a rubber. I will now have a very quiet afternoon =D
