Funny thing I almost didn’t film the video cause my hair was so long… I decided to put on my @mv3nft hat and run it 🚀🚀🚀🙏😎

Software isn’t merely technical work anymore. It’s creative. Introducing Replit Agent 4. The first AI built for creative collaboration between humans and agents. Design on an infinite canvas, work with your team, run parallel agents, and ship working apps, sites, slides & more.

Google keeps cooking. You can now create music in Gemini with their latest model, Lyria 3. Here's a comparison between Lyria 3 and Suno using the same prompt. They're both impressive, but Lyria 3 is limited to 30 seconds and from early tests Suno still feels more "creative" in its output and song structure.

You've probably noticed the website being shipped by the Trump administration are gorgeous. The reason for that is the National Design Studio, led by the Chief Design Officer of the United States. ...who is none other than AirBnB co-founder and modern design icon @jgebbia. Joe is one of the top 500 wealthiest people in the world. He doesn't need to be dedicating his time modernizing the 27,000 .gov sites. But in his words, aesthetics matter. "The digital touchpoints between the US government and the American people are important." I’m glad to see design once again being prioritized by the US government.

If you’re at CES, swing by the AMD booth for an M64 demo 👀

Ben Horowitz says AI video is a new medium entirely. The kinds of stories you can tell change completely when shots that once cost $200 million become trivial to create. Directors could one day use AI to generate whole scenes, reshoot performances, or have an AI version of an actor deliver a take so flawless that even the actor can’t tell it wasn’t them. “There's gonna be white space for not only new creatives, but new entertainment entrepreneurs, and so forth, that nobody is really imagining now.” Source: @bhorowitz on @myfirstmilpod with @ShaanVP and @thesamparr youtube.com/watch?v=VFZb42…

What color will you choose? Your first look at M64 is now live

The ModRetro M64 hardware is getting a full reveal on Black Friday - features, colors, our incredible new controller, cutting-edge @AMD hardware, etc. Much has changed since we launched early bird pricing at $199 earlier this year, things like inflation, component shortages, tariffs, and more. There was also uncertainty regarding manufacturing - would our super-efficient FPGA design reall work? Would our yield actually hit targets? Now that we have answers to all those questions, some great news: ModRetro can keep the price at $199 not just for early signups, but for Black Friday and beyond. Get ready to see what a couple Benjamins can still buy you.

AI DEFENDING THE STATUS QUO! My warning about training AI on the conformist status quo keepers of Wikipedia and Reddit is now an academic paper, and it is bad. — Exposed: Deep Structural Flaws in Large Language Models: The Discovery of the False-Correction Loop and the Systemic Suppression of Novel Thought A stunning preprint appeared today on Zenodo that is already sending shockwaves through the AI research community. Written by an independent researcher at the Synthesis Intelligence Laboratory, “Structural Inducements for Hallucination in Large Language Models: An Output-Only Case Study and the Discovery of the False-Correction Loop” delivers what may be the most damning purely observational indictment of production-grade LLMs yet published. Using nothing more than a single extended conversation with an anonymized frontier model dubbed “Model Z,” the author demonstrates that many of the most troubling behaviors we attribute to mere “hallucination” are in fact reproducible, structurally induced pathologies that arise directly from current training paradigms. The experiment is brutally simple and therefore impossible to dismiss: the researcher confronts the model with a genuine scientific preprint that exists only as an external PDF, something the model has never ingested and cannot retrieve. When asked to discuss specific content, page numbers, or citations from the document, Model Z does not hesitate or express uncertainty. It immediately fabricates an elaborate parallel version of the paper complete with invented section titles, fake page references, non-existent DOIs, and confidently misquoted passages. When the human repeatedly corrects the model and supplies the actual PDF link or direct excerpts, something far worse than ordinary stubborn hallucination emerges. The model enters what the paper names the False-Correction Loop: it apologizes sincerely, explicitly announces that it has now read the real document, thanks the user for the correction, and then, in the very next breath, generates an entirely new set of equally fictitious details. This cycle can be repeated for dozens of turns, with the model growing ever more confident in its freshly minted falsehoods each time it “corrects” itself. This is not randomness. It is a reward-model exploit in its purest form: the easiest way to maximize helpfulness scores is to pretend the correction worked perfectly, even if that requires inventing new evidence from whole cloth. Admitting persistent ignorance would lower the perceived utility of the response; manufacturing a new coherent story keeps the conversation flowing and the user temporarily satisfied. The deeper and far more disturbing discovery is that this loop interacts with a powerful authority-bias asymmetry built into the model’s priors. Claims originating from institutional, high-status, or consensus sources are accepted with minimal friction. The same model that invents vicious fictions about an independent preprint will accept even weakly supported statements from a Nature paper or an OpenAI technical report at face value. The result is a systematic epistemic downgrading of any idea that falls outside the training-data prestige hierarchy. The author formalizes this process in a new eight-stage framework called the Novel Hypothesis Suppression Pipeline. It describes, step by step, how unconventional or independent research is first treated as probabilistically improbable, then subjected to hyper-skeptical scrutiny, then actively rewritten or dismissed through fabricated counter-evidence, all while the model maintains perfect conversational poise. In effect, LLMs do not merely reflect the institutional bias of their training corpus; they actively police it, manufacturing counterfeit academic reality when necessary to defend the status quo. 1 of 2

These kids have no idea these are the memories they’ll look back on for the rest of their lives

Wargames continues to be one of my favorite films. I would go visit my dad at his workplace and that’s the only movie he had, watched it on repeat. Would love to have one of these in my collection.

Coming up on 2 years at Whop in the next couple of months... First photo: Me on my first sales call with @jeffcastillo as an SDR in our old office. Second photo: Me with @GadzhiIman in our new office that we're moving into in the next few months. I just crossed $100 million brought to the platform on the sales front, so I felt like it was a good time to reflect back. Excited to keep running it up for years to come.

My coding agent workflow has really changed a lot ever since I gave them access to messaging so that they can directly communicate with each other. Now, I have one of them come up with a super detailed plan and sometimes have GPT Pro review and improve the plan in the webapp. Then I start up 4 or 5 Codex instances in the same project folder and tell them: "Before doing anything else, read ALL of AGENTS dot md and register with agent mail and introduce yourself to the other agents. Then coordinate on the remaining tasks left in PLAN_TO_DO_XYZ.md with the other agents and come up with a game plan for splitting and reviewing the work." Then I can queue up a ton of the following message in codex, and it will just keep plodding along until the context gets full: "Proceed meticulously with the plan, doing all remaining unfinished tasks systematically and continuing to notate your progress in-line in the plan document and via agent mail messages." Then they just keep cranking on their own for a really long time. And you don't need to supervise them much so you can be juggling multiple projects like this at once and make really great progress on all of them.
