It's reality whether I like it or not.
Mark Zuckerberg: “We're starting to see early glimpses of self-improvement with the models. Developing superintelligence is now in sight. Our mission is to deliver personal superintelligence to everyone in the world. We should act as if it's going to be ready in the next two…
I just met Timothy Olyphant and I told him I love him in Deadwood and Justified and he asked me for my name and I said my name to him and then he said my name.
We just discovered the 🔥 COOLEST 🔥 trick in Flow that we have to share: Instead of wordsmithing the perfect prompt, you can just... draw it. Take the image of your scene, doodle what you'd like on it (through any editing app), and then briefly describe what needs to happen…
I'm observing a mini Moravec's paradox within robotics: gymnastics that are difficult for humans are much easier for robots than "unsexy" tasks like cooking, cleaning, and assembling. It leads to a cognitive dissonance for people outside the field, "so, robots can parkour &…
Google just discovered a powerful emergent capability in Veo 3 - visually annotate your instructions on the start frame, and Veo just does it for you! Instead of iterating endlessly on the perfect prompt, defining complex spatial relationships in words, you can just draw it out…
🚨 My YouTube channel with 340K subscribers was hacked. I’ve submitted the recovery forms using my personal phone — but I’m stuck in a loop of my ownership not being verified. @TeamYouTube keeps telling me to “talk to support.” I am; they are not giving me any other options.…
I found another fun Veo 3 prompt: "Realistic footage of the moon landing, but it took place in [year]" Here is 1883 AD, 1255 AD, 44 AD, 2300 BC, 30,000 BC, and 65 million years ago Yes, there is apparently wind on the moon back then, you are just going to have suspend disbelief
If my wife was doing this with her coworker I’d kill myself in a public space

New newsletter: We need to talk about how GLP-1 drugs seem to be good for practically everything—and what that means for the future of medicine and health Hundreds of studies have now shown that GLP-1s, such as Ozempic and Zepbound: - seem to curb alcohol, cocaine, and tobacco…
We need single payer Ozempic

Anthropic co-founder Ben Mann on why he chose Montessori for his daughter: "If this were 10-20 years ago, I'd be lining her up for top-tier schools and extracurriculars. But now I don't think any of it's going to matter. Learning facts is going to fade into the background. What…
Ben Mann (@8enmann) left @OpenAI in 2020 with the entire safety team to co-found @AnthropicAI (now reportedly valued at over $100B). In a rare interview, Ben opens up about: 🔸 What he saw at OpenAI that convinced him to leave 🔸 The AI nightmare scenarios that concern him…

In solar, like AI, the exponential is clear, yet skeptics simply cannot see it. Skeptics endlessly flex their midwittery by clinging to unimportant details, like OMG AI STILL MAKES MISTAKES SOMETIMES?! Yeah, no shit. As soon as AI *stops* making mistakes, it's over, AGI is…
Reading @GregIles "Southern Man." This is the best, single paragraph I've read that succinctly breaks down the reasons for the rise of Donald Trump.
🚨New from us: Given they are trained on human data, can you use psychological techniques that work on humans to persuade AI? Yes! Applying Cialdini's principles for human influence more than doubles the chance of GPT-4o-mini agrees to objectionable requests compared to controls
why don’t we have more medicines? inventing medicines has grown less efficient, limited by our knowledge of biological targets for the 1st time, AI & genomics have the potential to make this knowledge abundant – one of the largest potential impacts of the intelligence age.
The current administration is proof that the Sokovia Accords were a bad idea and that letting Team Cap exercise good judgement--as fundamentally good people--would be way safer than trusting to the "system" to prevent horrible outcomes.
There is no one who thinks Trump supporters are dumber than Donald Trump himself.
And just like clockwork, it looks like someone "magically" timed Trump's Europe tariff announcement *perfectly* just now. Heavy selling of the Euro starting at 7:59 PM EST (green circle). Selling immediately stops and turns back into a rally at 8:06 PM EST (red circle), the…
