Protect health, save hard, buy AI-exposed assets (big tech, chips, energy), take 30yr fixed mortgages (boom inflates the debt away), follow AI forecasters (Aschenbrenner, Zvi, Dwarkesh), stock a rural retreat with months of supplies, start long processes now (citizenship), delay rest 3yrs

@MattBelloni It’d be bigger news if Tom Hardy wasn’t a dick on set for once.

@theinformation First quarter 🥱

Exclusive: OpenAI generated about $5.7 billion in revenue in the first quarter, nearly $1 billion more than archrival Anthropic generated in the same period. More details: thein.fo/4f10dAi

@OfficialLoganK When is a frontier model going to be released by Google?

Sorry it took so long! Very excited for what the team has been cooking : )

Can’t wait for the AI Studio mobile app early next year!!

@emollick Have you had any luck at realism for more fantastical prompts? Looks like it has that base uncanny valley slop sheen to it that has no luster for life.

@raeforla If you actually cared about LA instead of your ego you would drop out. You are not going to win, you are just taking votes from Nithya so Karen Bass is reelected and impactful housing, transit, and safety policies are never implemented.

If the Los Angeles Police Protective League (LAPPL) is spending six figures trying to stop this movement, it’s because they know change is possible. Los Angeles deserves leadership that invests in people first — in housing, care, community, and real public safety that doesn’t rely on fear or punishment. This campaign has never been about protecting power. It’s about fighting for the Angelenos who’ve been ignored for far too long. And no amount of attack ads can drown out what we already know: another LA is possible. 🌞 - - - Si la Liga Protectora de la Policía de Los Angeles (LAPPL) está gastando cientos de miles de dólares para detener este movimiento, es porque saben que el cambio sí es posible. Los Ángeles merece líderes que inviertan en la gente primero — en vivienda, cuidado, comunidad y una verdadera seguridad pública que no dependa del miedo ni del castigo. Esta campaña nunca se ha tratado de proteger el poder. Se trata de luchar por los angelinos que han sido ignorados por demasiado tiempo. Y ningún anuncio de ataque va a poder apagar lo que ya sabemos: otro Los Ángeles sí es posible. 🌞

@rachcorrine the boxy button down in the second fit ruins the silhouette and vibe of the casual cut off shorts and looks out of place, agree w/everything else

SUMMER COLOR COMBOS ( save for later). - Navy + white Dark denim, white tee, navy sweater, white linen shirt. Hard to mess up. - Light blue + cream Feels expensive. Looks expensive. - White + white I don’t think white parties are a thing anymore, but this combo still rocks. Esp linen on linen. - Brown + sky blue (my fave!!!). Very underrated summer combination. Think tobacco loafers, faded blue oxford, tan shorts. - Chocolate + ecru More elevated than black and white in summer. Softer contrast. Think dark brown on top, slightly off white denim or trousers. Sage green + off-white - FRESH. Easy coastal feeling without looking overly “beachy.” - Faded red + khaki Very East Coast summer vibes. Looks better slightly washed out rather than bright red. - Black + cream Just an easy classic combo. - Navy + olive Masculine!! Looks especially good when textures are involved. Think denim shirts and fatigue pants. - Charcoal + white Great for city summer dressing!! - Tan + white Works bc it mirrors natural summer tones. Think white linen tops and tan shorts or loose trousers.

@AndrewCurran_ @vxunderground overstated / understated?

Mythos has cracked MacOS. It took five days.

What happens when you post a real Monet and say it’s AI? The coolest art social experiment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you @SHL0MS

@UrbanizeLA Awesome to see, but there are so many spelling and grammatical errors in the article it’s distracting.

The project would replace a portion of the Wilshire Courtyard office complex la.urbanize.city/post/onni-grou…

@mottsmith Year round high UV sunshine + not being able to build tall enough for shade + minimal tree canopy 🫩

This is perfectly executed mixed use retail design. No barriers between the sidewalk and the shops. Lots of windows. A+ Echo Park, LA

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

@dampedspring You seem to constantly be wrong and bearish in the face of the most transformative technology in history. Yet you’re smart and say you’re doing fine. what’s your net YTD P&L?

Winners will win. Losers will lose. Unless GDP productivity growth exceeds expectations broad earnings expectations across all stocks are in an expectations bubble. It's the E not the P. Thanks Gemini for the clown cartoon. Is this productivity?

@crypt0lake the cabal hides deep in the shadows of a simple google search

the "they" is so fucking ominous, the people running the show are not who you see online, the shadow government is real

@PEWilliams_ Tom Turvey was hired by Anthropic to obtain all the books in the world

A friend of mine who works in rare books mentioned today everyone he knows is getting weird, big orders from the same buyer this week for "long tail books"—decades-old textbooks, private press niche history, unremarkable but rare titles just collecting dust. Obviously AI, right?

@benhylak @eshear real ones know @eshear simultaneously has the most inflated ego, and thinnest skin in the game

that's no way to talk about @eshear

openai․com was once the personal homepage of a guy named glenn (2001), and tiktok․com was the quaint shared homepage of a couple who went from dating to married with a baby (~1998-2001). THREAD!!!

I've spent the past few weeks reading 100s of public data sources about AI development. I now believe that recursive self-improvement has a 60% chance of happening by the end of 2028. In other words, AI systems might soon be capable of building themselves.

@jackclarkSF Couldn’t you just walk down the hall and ask the researchers? I get the public benchmarks help for credibility but you’re inside the machine.

@_Lonis_ So what actually is your trade and future looking portfolio strategy?

How do you trade on short AGI timelines? This weekend, I made a graph showing every layer of the AI supply chain and which companies are the most important bottlenecks. (for my personal use, no advice)
