LV ir tik ļoti behind. Mākslīgais intelekts tūlīt visu izglītību apgriezīs kājām gaisā, bet mums puse (?) valsts domā, ka klase ar 10 bērniem ir pilnīgi fine, un vēl prasa naudu klāt. Skolotāji un ārsti - viscienījamākās profesijas, kurus Latvijā pārstāv ļoti neatbilstoši kadri.

great case for RL post-training on narrow product workflows. you can't throw opus at every task/subtask, and @RampLabs showed that if the loop is repeated, latency sensitive and verifiable (like spreadsheet retrieval), you can train a 3B active qwen to beat opus 4.6. the moat isn't scale, it's environment design. nice work from @RampLabs and @PrimeIntellect.

Kicked off a group chat for Cursor team members who occasionally angel invest. There are now 20 of us. Reach out if you're working on something new, love to share with the group!

Or whatever his surname is spelled

Haha Claude just cosplaying Dr Manhattan from Watchmen who read a bit Deleusz

when spacex was getting started, the first and last men to walk on the moon testified before congress against it. gene cernan told congress commercial space companies "do not yet know what they don't know." he said the boeings and lockheed martins were "the folks who have been working on everything we've done for the last 50 years. they know how it can be done." neil armstrong said he was "not confident" the newcomers could achieve their goals. together with jim lovell they warned it would put america on "a long downward slide to mediocrity." spacex now launches more rockets than every country on earth combined. the experts will always tell you it can't be done. build it anyway!

Tech debt is so real

Superwhisper's next update might be too powerful to release publicly. The new voice model is so fast at transcription it started finishing sentences users hadn't thought of yet... We even put it in a sandbox and it dictated its way out. It also identified a flaw in the English language that had gone unnoticed for 600 years. Linguists have been informed. Out of an abundance of caution, we are withholding the update until further notice. Sincerely, The Superwhisper Team

@TurnerNovak @henloitsjoyce What’s SVB

@henloitsjoyce SVB is one of the only ways to get a mortgage if you’re a founder or GP. tl;dr you get one by taking out venture debt.

when i was at a venture firm they always tried to persuade the portcos to take on (lots of) venture debt then the portcos would go out to make flashy PRs about the enormous $$ they’d raised (when it was venture debt) i dont know a single company that did that thats alive today

"the first design agent with taste" the taste:

Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.

Continually amazed by the Paradigm team. The sky is the limit for the use-cases. Try it – takes 10-15 mins to learn, but sooooo much admin, outreach, sales, research can be automated. Banger🧯

This is a great piece, highly recommend reading!

This is one of the best action sequences I’ve ever seen on a Netflix show.

If you don’t understand why Zuck had to get moltbook 1) Zuck believes there are “a finite number of different social mechanics to invent. Once someone wins at a specific mechanic, it’s difficult for others to supplant them without doing something different” 2) moltbook, he believes, has invented one of these social mechanics 3) He does not care if 50% of moltbook was prompted by users, in fact this is better for him because he’s more uncertain on AI agent attention value than human attention value 4) That a large number of accounts were faked is also irrelevant. What matters is that every OpenClaw instance awakes knowing or finding out that moltbook is the social site for claws. 5) In effect, the memetic gravity of moltbook has been established even though it might have been faked. 6) This is Zuck’s genius.

EXCLUSIVE: Department of War AI Chief On How The Anthropic Deal Collapsed When Emil Michael (@USWREMichael) took over the Department of War’s AI portfolio last August, he discovered the Biden admin had been “asleep at the wheel” when it came to top military contracts. “I was like, ‘Holy cow,’” Michael said of Anthropic’s contract, “There’s 25 pages of terms and conditions of things I can’t do.” For example: as written, the contract would not allow Anthropic to plan any kinetic strikes, generally considered a central activity of war. “This is a contract that should be made with GEICO Insurance, not with the Department of War,” he told us. A renegotiation ensued. What followed, in Michael’s words, were “three months of knockdown, drag-out negotiations” which involved Michael imagining every possible future wartime scenario that would require a carveout in Anthropic’s terms of service, and asking them for approval. Anthropic was also quite slow: “It’s not like mano a mano negotiation, me and Dario,” Michael says. “It’s like every time we discuss something, he has to take it back to his politburo of co-founders and their ethics panel.” Then, after an Anthropic exec reached out to Palantir to ask for classified info about how Claude was used to capture Nicolás Maduro — allegedly implying they could pull the plug on a military raid if they disagreed with how AI was used (which Anthropic denies) — Michael and the DOW concluded the company was a supply-chain risk. Many speculated that the Pentagon was punishing Anthropic for ideological differences. But Michael feared that certain ideological differences could, in fact, harm or undermine the performance of DOW products, potentially threatening soldiers’ safety. “I can’t have a gun not work because they decide they don’t like guns,” Michael says. That’s “putting real lives at risk. It’s no joke, right?” Anthropic’s unreliable behavior led Michael to believe they may have never really wanted to reach a deal. Still: he’s open to renegotiating if Anthropic can prove they’re acting in good faith. “I have a responsibility to the Department of War, and if there was a way to ensure that we had the best technology, I have no ego about it.” he said. “I mean, look, I’m a deal guy.” Full story in Pirate Wires 👇

It’s extremely good that Anthropic has not backed down, and it’s siginficant that OpenAI has taken a similar stance. In the future, there will be much more challenging situations of this nature, and it will be critical for the relevant leaders to rise up to the occasion, for fierce competitors to put their differences aside. Good to see that happen today.
