Hey book lovers.
I'm re-reading Hesse's Steppenwolf, and it's an entirely different book than when I read it in my 20s. The perspective of age changes everything.
What other books are like this? Worth a re-read a few decades later to get a wholey new perspective on?

Just in case you're wondering how to watch the world cup today, courtesy of gemini. This assumes everyone wants to place high in their group, sadly not necessarily true.
2pm PDT
Panama vs. England: England aims for a win to secure first place but guarantees advancement with a draw, while Panama desperately needs a win to claim third place and keep any slim hopes of advancing alive.
Croatia vs. Ghana: Ghana seeks a win to fight for group leadership but advances safely with a draw, whereas Croatia needs a win to guarantee a top-two finish but can likely survive in third with a draw.
4.30pm
Colombia vs. Portugal: Both teams have already secured enough points to advance, making this match a direct, low-pressure shootout solely to determine who takes 1st place in the group.
DR Congo vs. Uzbekistan: Both teams must win to have any realistic hope of advancing as a third-place team, with DR Congo having a much stronger case at 4 points than Uzbekistan at 3.
7pm
Algeria vs. Austria: This is a winner-takes-all battle for a guaranteed 2nd place spot, though Austria holds the tiebreaker advantage and can safely advance with a draw. OR it's possible they don't want to win..
Jordan vs. Argentina: Argentina has already effectively won the group and is playing for momentum and a perfect record, while Jordan must orchestrate a massive upset win to have any chance at finishing third.

This work is just super cool to me. I've been shocked to see the rich model behavior that emerges from very small grids of analog computing elements. If you're looking for a new challenge in model architecture work, you should really check out unconventional.

🧠 Today we introduce Un-0 from @unconvAI : the first large-scale generative model build on physics as a compute primitive. This represents a “hello world” moment for physics-based models. We use the inherent time-varying behavior of physical systems to do compute for us. The result is a new way to build a computer that can be VASTLY more power efficient. 🧵 unconv.ai/blog/introduci…

You can now try GLM 5.2 in Cursor!
Excited to see more useful open models, thank you to Fireworks for partnering here. Results from our evals ↓

This team is special, and they are working on one of the big open problems in AI. Couldn't be more excited to partner with @bneyshabur, @HarshMeh1a, @shayan_, and @tararezaeikh!!

Today, I’m excited to formally announce @mirendil with my amazing co-founders Harsh Mehta, Shayan Salehian, and Tara Rezaei! We’re fortunate to work with @a16z and @kleinerperkins, who led our seed round of $200M, followed by a major investment from NVIDIA, among others. Mirendil exists to accelerate science and technology, and through them, to help solve humanity's most pressing problems. Self-accelerating AI R&D is the most direct path to delivering on AI's broader promise, which is why we believe the most important application of AI is AI itself. Get this loop right, and it compounds. It fundamentally changes the rate of progress itself across all domains. We believe this capability should be democratized. It should be used to power all scientific efforts trying to innovate at the frontier. There are far more important problems—and broader ones—than any single lab can take on, so more groups should be able to pursue them. This pulls concentration of power away from a few labs: businesses and science labs can own their AI and infrastructure, keep their margins, and control their own destiny instead of ceding it all to a single AI lab. We’re a small team with a singular focus. Our founding team consists of 20 researchers and engineers from frontier institutions including Anthropic, xAI, Google DeepMind, and OpenAI, united by a passion for science and a drive to build the technologies that move it faster. If you want to build the system that builds systems, join us! @HarshMeh1a, @shayan_, @tararezaeikh

WHO DID THIS
It’s the best shot Anthropic has at getting Fable back.

@Footballtweet @ArtButSports you have never been more needed

A photo of Noussair Mazraoui has gone viral after he somehow managed to hold off both Scott McTominay and Ben Doak in an aerial duel during Morocco's World Cup clash with Scotland. 😭💪🏻🇲🇦
That's an all-time football photo for Mazraoui. 📸🤣

We offer no explanation as to why Noams are so good at AI; we attribute their success, as all else, to divine benevolence.
Noam Brown@polynoamial
I'm always thrilled to have more Noams at @OpenAI, but I'm especially thrilled to welcome @NoamShazeer!

Let’s count the wins here
1. SpaceX gets a frontier coding lab, with the highest quantity and quality of coding data outside of Anthropic
2. Cursor is at $4b ARR and targeting 7.5b+ in EOY ARR. At $60b, that’s accretive to SpaceX’s EV/revenue multiple
3. One of Cursor’s only deficiencies was long term access to compute, which they now secure. Who knows what they’ll cook
4. Cursor was the largest customer of several inference neoclouds, meaning SpaceX slows down or handicaps competitors in the process
5. SpaceX gets Cursor level AI talent with a meaningful lockup, at a time when they face huge attrition in xAI
Win x 5

SpaceX has exercised the option to acquire @cursor_ai in an all-stock transaction with the goal of building the world’s most useful AI models. For the past few months, SpaceXAI has been jointly training a model with Cursor, which will be released in Cursor and Grok Build soon. We look forward to working closely with the Cursor team to advance our frontier AI capabilities

This developing story about Dario's failed communications with the White House confirms everything I've ever believed about the enormous power of the Sales Chad.
You can be the smartest, most hard working, well-meaning guy around, but if you can't get people to like you, it's all for nothing.
When the time comes to send one of your own to meet inside the Halls of Power, you don't send the Geek Squad. You must send the affable, beer-drinking, golf-loving Sales Chad.
It literally doesn't matter if he understands the product half as well as everyone else. You send him. It's what he was put on Earth to do.

BREAKING: U.S. officials say Fable and Mythos were shut down because Anthropic can’t “speak Trump’s language” LMAO

This is a good take from Satya. Realistically, its the top app vendors (cursor, harvey, decagon, etc) who will help enterprises build compounding AI value. And the key piece of the stack is something Satya bizarrely didnt mention: frontier open source models!

You can download the game here: github.com/matt-bornstein…
The code is here: github.com/matt-bornstein…
And gpt-5.5 and fable are dutifully working on a WASM port to run natively in browser :)

You need to build a lot of power plants, a lot of data centers, and a few special units. Plus your technical staff has some new jobs...

Imagine building a computer and not allowing its use in CS research. Thats some dystopian shit.
