This guy shows a POV of what it’s like being a chef at an Asian restaurant during a rush. The level of multitasking is insane.

🇧🇷 Waking up in Brazil near the ocean South Brazil has lots of great villas available although definitely not at the price point of South East Asia, I'd say 3-5x more expensive and whether that's worth it for you is debatable Build quality of villas in Brazil honestly really varies, a lot of it sucks and is cheap, but a lot of it is built with love and great materials too, kinda hit and miss, it depends if the owner is rich and built it for themselves or not Brazil is also a great place to build a villa, lots of land for sale, approval is fast, and there's no shortage of workers to build it (like in Europe) Brazil also has lots of great architects and interior designers, and they just make beautiful stuff This villa I love because it has that Bali white glossy stone (I think it's boho chic) and it's just great to walk down on barefeet, also I love the rotating stairs and this little jungle inside the living room Then you go outside and you hear the sea! I love living near the sea and I think the salty air really is healthy for you Only bad thing which is common here: no AC in living rooms, only in bedrooms. Why? People like to get the natural wind to cool although at peak summer (like February) it gets boiling hot Oh last thing many villas in Brazil come with a chef included (kinda like Bali and I think there's a colonial connection here as in Bali you sometimes get a "babu" and in Brazil it's called "babá") They cook for you what you want and get groceries etc Nice!

I launched rentahuman.ai last night and already 130+ people have signed up including an OF model (lmao) and the CEO of an AI startup. If your AI agent wants to rent a person to do an IRL task for them its as simple as one MCP call.

🇨🇳 Amap (in Chinese 高德地圖 Gaode Map) is my favorite navigation app in China Google Maps essentially really doesn't work in China, the location of our hotel Aman in Beijing for example was completely wrong, when we told the staff they said "yes Google Maps isn't used in China", it is so useless in China that even the city grid and roads are positioned wrongly on top of the satellite map, so it doesn't seem to be maintained at all by Google But Amap is great! Especially since it can be used in English and I think it transliterates your searches to Chinese and the Chinese place names back to English It also has more features like cute 3d maps and showing the live status of the stoplight like many other apps in China do too
@levelsio@levelsio

🇨🇳 China can be very very cheap, I'd say hotels and accomodation can be cheaper than Thailand We had a 63rd floor Chongqing hotel suite with 2 bathrooms, 1 living room, 1 bedroom for just $300/night Normally suites in other places easily go for $1500 and up And I've seen other hotels with regular good rooms that go for $20 to $30/night Food can also be very cheap, but not a lot of Western food to be fair, so you gotta be open to new flavors 😋

AI in robotics gets all the attention right now, but sometimes the most interesting work is very practical. Viet built a small vision system that counts potatoes on a conveyor belt. No giant dataset. No huge model. Just a clear problem and a smart setup. He used Ultralytics’ ObjectCounter, trained a tiny YOLO11 nano model, and because there was no potato dataset, he annotated a single frame with SAM 2 and trained from that. One frame. Still works across the whole video. It is a good reminder that useful AI in industry often looks like this. Focused. Lightweight. Solves a real task. If you work in manufacturing or robotics, these small systems are usually the fastest wins. They save time, reduce errors, and do not need massive infrastructure. Nice work, Viet.

The 23-minute D-Day landing in Saving Private Ryan (1998) cost $12 million, about a fifth of the film’s budget. Filmed over a month with 1,500 actors and 400 crew, it remains one of cinema’s most intense sequences.

@JamesonCamp Go to your settings and tell it “You are an expert who double checks things, you are skeptical and you do research. I am not always right. Neither are you, but we both strive for accuracy.” That’s the only way I’ve gotten it to tell me I’m wrong lol

What in the F is an AI factory? I had to investigate what the unelected @EU_Commission is talking about today So according to them, it's some data centers (which they call supercomputers) in 6 different EU countries I checked out the most powerful one: Karolina, a Czech data center, it mostly has CPUs though (see pic) not GPUs, so mostly useless for AI The GPUs it does have are 72x 8x NVIDIA A100 GPU, so 576x A100, or equivalent of 240x H100s (H100 is about 2.4x the compute power of A100) So let's compare that: @xAI has 200,000x H100 GPUs So the xAI data center has 800x more compute than the Czech one If we combine xAI, Meta, AWS, etc. it's about 750,000 H100s If we assume the other 5 data centers in the EU are equivalent to the Czech one (which is massive stretch because most of the others seem AI consultacny services, they don't even HAVE chips!), the EU's new "AI factories" have a total of 1,440x H100 GPUs, let's round up to 1,500 to be nice So the EU is trying to compete with 750,000 GPUs with their own 1,500 GPUs, so 500x less?? Correct me if I'm wrong but it's just seems very low impact and another ridiculous idea and burning of EU tax payers money that will end up in local cronies and bureaucrats and will do NOTHING to improve the AI business climate for Europe The best way to improve it is to deregulate, make it super easy and low tax (especially when starting out) to start AI companies in Europe

This guy is SO interesting when I listened to him on JRE I learnt about the existence of "Pervitin", the Nazi meth that essentially the entire society was on back then, they used it to try and get rid of the entire concept of sleep, because they felt it was wasting time So almost everyone in Nazi Germany was on meth all the time When the Nazis invaded France, the French troops quickly gave up, why? Well, part of it is the French got 0.75L of wine allowance every day so were drunk all day while the Nazis were on meth In Hitler's final days he was highly addicted to meth and stuck in a bunker with Berlin bombed, his personal doctor drove around Berlin on a motorbike from pharmacy to pharmacy in search of Pervitin Highly recommend listening to this guy, super interesting! @normanohler

Here's my conversation with Norman Ohler, a historian and author of "Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich," a book that investigates the role of psychoactive drugs, particularly stimulants such as methamphetamine, in the military history of World War II. It is a book that two legendary historians Ian Kershaw and Antony Beevor give very high praise to for its depth of research. This was a fascinating conversation. It's here on X in full and is up everywhere else (see comment).

Hard to understand why LLM models do not seem to have much moat, but front ends + models (like ChatGPT or Claude Code) do Mistral is not one of the top LLM models anymore for at least a year, nor is it one of the top front end LLM apps either What's the idea here?

🚨 - ASML invests 1.3 billion euros in @MistralAI to become its biggest shareholder What does this mean? Mistral AI stays in European control. The deal is a big win for European sovereignty 🇪🇺

For some reason the average European guy body looks like this (left, which I call the Padel body) While the avg North and South American guy is much bigger (right) Obviously with the great exception the giant portion of the Americas that is super overweight but usually they get fat in 40s, and the ones that are not fat are all mostly ripped, even later in life (go visit Brazil!) Anyway my point is Euros need to get ripped and learn how to fight en masse, mandate fight sports at schools at EU level I'm learning BJJ but paused for a bit cuz now I need to get my driver's license first and got too busy but will continue after I get it You have no choice but to take repeated shiy from people 1) if you have upper arms the size of your wrist (I know cause I had them too 10y ago before I started lifting), 2) don't know how to fight If you know the people will just take anything, of course you're gonna keep robbing and starting shit If you know they will fight back, you'll think again!
@levelsio tweet media@levelsio tweet media
@levelsio@levelsio

I'm not trolling btw When a robbery happens in Brazil everybody starts trying to take down the thief, I've seen it happen with my own eyes now and Brazilian friends have similar stories, people don't take shit When a robbery happens in most of Europe, people just stand by Britain is a good exception now, where the men actually fight back, and Eastern Europe obviously Good way to fix this is at European Union level mandate ALL children to do a fight sport in school, also helps against bullying a lot! Fighting back is good!

If you have been following the GPT-5 rollout, one thing you might be noticing is how much of an attachment some people have to specific AI models. It feels different and stronger than the kinds of attachment people have had to previous kinds of technology (and so suddenly deprecating old models that users depended on in their workflows was a mistake). This is something we’ve been closely tracking for the past year or so but still hasn’t gotten much mainstream attention (other than when we released an update to GPT-4o that was too sycophantic). (This is just my current thinking, and not yet an official OpenAI position.) People have used technology including AI in self-destructive ways; if a user is in a mentally fragile state and prone to delusion, we do not want the AI to reinforce that. Most users can keep a clear line between reality and fiction or role-play, but a small percentage cannot. We value user freedom as a core principle, but we also feel responsible in how we introduce new technology with new risks. Encouraging delusion in a user that is having trouble telling the difference between reality and fiction is an extreme case and it’s pretty clear what to do, but the concerns that worry me most are more subtle. There are going to be a lot of edge cases, and generally we plan to follow the principle of “treat adult users like adults”, which in some cases will include pushing back on users to ensure they are getting what they really want. A lot of people effectively use ChatGPT as a sort of therapist or life coach, even if they wouldn’t describe it that way. This can be really good! A lot of people are getting value from it already today. If people are getting good advice, leveling up toward their own goals, and their life satisfaction is increasing over years, we will be proud of making something genuinely helpful, even if they use and rely on ChatGPT a lot. If, on the other hand, users have a relationship with ChatGPT where they think they feel better after talking but they’re unknowingly nudged away from their longer term well-being (however they define it), that’s bad. It’s also bad, for example, if a user wants to use ChatGPT less and feels like they cannot. I can imagine a future where a lot of people really trust ChatGPT’s advice for their most important decisions. Although that could be great, it makes me uneasy. But I expect that it is coming to some degree, and soon billions of people may be talking to an AI in this way. So we (we as in society, but also we as in OpenAI) have to figure out how to make it a big net positive. There are several reasons I think we have a good shot at getting this right. We have much better tech to help us measure how we are doing than previous generations of technology had. For example, our product can talk to users to get a sense for how they are doing with their short- and long-term goals, we can explain sophisticated and nuanced issues to our models, and much more.
