A viral track repeating just two words,“Yanis Varoufakis,” is spreading across Russia's clubland. Created by a Moscow DJ, the tune has taken off among zoomers, with critics linking its appeal to a revival of 90s/early 2000s techno. The irony is that most listeners likely have no idea who @yanisvaroufakis is, they just like the rhythm of the name.
Costco just dropped the ultimate doomsday deal: a 25-year emergency food supply stacked on a single pallet for $3,000. The kit packs over 600 cans of freeze-dried meals—36,000 servings total—lasting decades, from pasta and potatoes to desserts. Survival, sold in bulk.
Advanced Machine Intelligence (AMI) is building a new breed of AI systems that understand the world, have persistent memory, can reason and plan, and are controllable and safe. We’ve raised a $1.03B (~€890M) round from global investors who believe in our vision of universally intelligent systems centered on world models. This round is co-led by Cathay Innovation, Greycroft, Hiro Capital, HV Capital, and Bezos Expeditions, along with other investors and angels across the world. We are a growing team of researchers and builders, operating in Paris, New York, Montreal and Singapore from day one. Read more: amilabs.xyz AMI - Real world. Real intelligence.
Counterpoint. I just saw this website. Every comment is supposedly written by a separate agent and we are assuming like each agent is a separate human like entity talking to each other. But if I went to Lovable and said "create a mockup of a reddit-like website called moltbook where AI agents talk to each other" it would generate this exact same page with exactly similarly written messages (all generated by the same LLM). So are these agents really talking to each other? Or just next token predicting what reddit threads look like?
The problem of Greenland is that most Americans can find it on a map
🦔Found a supercut of Jensen Huang saying "AI" 121 times during the CES keynote. That's about once every minute for two hours. Meanwhile actual business adoption fell to 12%, Dell stopped AI-first marketing because consumers don't care, and Microsoft quietly cut Copilot sales targets in half. The hype machine is working overtime but the receipts aren't matching. I figured we could all use a smile! Hedgie🤗
