I've been in SF for about 2 weeks now. Here's what I've noticed:
- AI & tech ads are everywhere
- Founders are everywhere
- Self-driving cars are everywhere
- Weather is cooler than I expected

This is big. The new base model they created is proving to be pretty insane.
OpenAI@OpenAI
Today, we share a breakthrough on the planar unit distance problem, a famous open question first posed by Paul Erdős in 1946. For nearly 80 years, mathematicians believed the best possible solutions looked roughly like square grids. An OpenAI model has now disproved that belief, discovering an entirely new family of constructions that performs better. This marks the first time AI has autonomously solved a prominent open problem central to a field of mathematics.

Whenever someone casually says we've reached AGI, I cringe. Yes, we have really good models, but AGI doesn't just mean intelligent models—it means generalized intelligence. Models still mess up simple things that most humans wouldn't. Until then, we don't have AGI.

The first time I put on headphones and tried it, it felt like magic.
Should I build a mobile app for this? 👀

The magic: a custom timeline engine I built from scratch using the Web Audio API and HRTF PannerNodes
Sounds don't just play—they move. Rain drifts across your left ear. Wind sweeps behind you. All rendered in real-time.
