This is one of the craziest ideas I've ever seen. He converted a drawing of a bird into a spectrogram (PNG -> Soundwave) then played it to a Starling who sung it back reproducing the PNG. Using the birds brain as a hard drive with 2mbps read write speed. youtube.com/watch?si=HMtVd…
"Humans pumping 2 teratons of groundwater shifted Earth's axis of rotation by 80 centimeters" is not math I'd have predicted to add up. news.agu.org/press-release/…
Every University and Academic should be spending at least 10% of their resources pondering, planning and reinventing for what "University" means when LLMs get IMO gold. The old "learning to learn" line isn't economically relevant... That activity has moved to the data center.
ashlee & the @corememory team are among the best storytellers in science. we were privileged to host them for a look inside @newlimit. we hope this is only the first of many windows into our mission to add healthy years to each life.
Our new @corememory video on @newlimit, which is finding combinations of proteins that reverse aging across the body. It is perhaps the most exciting work in the bio-tech field. Backed by @brian_armstrong @patrickc @collision @JoshuaKushner @natfriedman and others
European starlings can only be found in America because a 19th Shakespeare fanatic felt that every bird mentioned in a Shakespeare play should exist here, so he released 60 of them into Central Park. They cause an estimated 800 million dollars worth of crop damage a year.

Many of the big labs are working in similar directions, including Google. This looks powerful.

Social contagion is very real and people will do insane things like mass murder, kill themselves (Werther Effect), or castrate their kids, just because other people are doing it. Which is why culture cannot be left to the whims of the "marketplace of ideas"
It’s weird that serial killers were a thing for like one 30 year period

Your job is not safe if you think you do it better than an AI; your employer has to be able to easily tell the difference between you and the usual run of incompetents. Also the AI will improve every 4 months.
Thing is, my real human lawyers fuck up all the time and I have to correct them. And this one fucks up but it’s free. Tick tock.
fiction book that's just five thousand times the sentence "and then the hero ran into a life-threatening problem, so serious that even with his advanced skills it was maybe a coin flip as to whether he'd survive, but fortunately he made it this time"
Google Veo 3 understands spatial prompts. Upload an image with some annotations and ask Veo 3 to follow the instructions in your prompt. Here's how to do it, and some examples.
Quantum breaks of the asymmetric encryption that Bitcoin uses are a possible explanation
Not trying to FUD or sound schizo but it's actually concerning that multiple Satoshi-era wallets are exiting entirely. These are OG cypherpunks from a tight-knit circle who might collectively know something insane like BTC has a fatal flaw or Satoshi is about to reactivate.

Here is Nietzsche talking about attention, parsimonious sampling, and how hallucination is the default mode of human perception in 1886.
It looks like Nietzsche was wrong and Plato was right High powered Ai models are begin to converge on a “hidden realm” of ideals This is very hard for the layman to follow, but think of it this way: If I ask you to look at a tree, and then ask you to imagine a tree - your…
