"What advice should founders ignore?" "Almost all of it." @benfielding of @GensynAI: "As a founder, you have the absolute maximum information about the thing that you are doing. You can't give all of that information to somebody else to give you advice." "If you actually take advice itself, you are almost all of the time gonna be doing the wrong thing."

Beyond today's conventional computers, agents, and world models, Neural Computers (NCs) are new frontiers where computation, memory, and I/O move into a learned runtime state. We ask: whether parts of runtime can move inward into the learning system itself. This is our first step toward the Completely Neural Computer (CNC): a general-purpose neural computer with stable execution, explicit reprogramming, and durable capability reuse.
