Mississippi a bright spot. Clearly they are doing something that the rest of America is not doing.
AF Post@AFpost
New Stanford University data indicates that reading scores have fallen sharply across nearly the entire United States over the past decade. Researchers have linked the decline in part to the rise of EdTech-driven curricula and the lingering effects of pandemic-era education policies. Follow: @AFpost

I built a few fun projects with Codex over the last few weekends:
1) "SignalHopper": iPhone → ROS sensor bridge (camera, LiDAR, GPS, IMU)
2) “RobotClaw,” a small rover using the live sensor stream + Google Gemma running on a Jetson Orin Nano to think and act.
We’re entering an era where surprisingly capable robotics systems can be hacked together from commodity hardware, open models, and AI tooling.

Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place?
Karen Bass let my home burn down.
Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD.

Between Tesla, SpaceX and NVidia I spy a lot of opportunities for automation, robotics, and aerospace. We live in the age of hardcore hardware engineering and no better iconic representatives of the American hardware engineering than Elon and Jensen.
Ben Pouladian@benitoz
All it took was Jensen getting on AF1, a Boeing airplane, to fly to China… …and NVDA added roughly a Boeing’s worth of market cap. This is what power looks like in the AI era: one CEO, one flight, one export-policy headline, one entire aerospace giant in value creation

Today we launch Recursive.
We are building AI that discovers knowledge automatically and improves itself recursively, an open-ended process that will fundamentally change how science and technology advance.
Our 25 top researchers and engineers in San Francisco and London bring diverse expertise spanning agentic AI scientists, architecture and algorithm design, world models, optimization, and interpretability, united by a shared conviction that this is the most important problem we could be working on today.
If you are interested in joining, please send your resume to talent@recursive.com. Follow us at @Recursive_SI!

Some books I love and never read: a selection.

@JFPuget reminds me of Jim Simons's statement: "I wasn't the fastest guy in the world. I wouldn't have done well in an Olympiad or a math contest. But I like to ponder. And pondering things, just sort of thinking about it and thinking about it, turns out to be a pretty good approach"

Because solving high school level problems very quickly is not the same as advancing math.

France has more Fields medalists than any other country in Europe, but performs extremely poorly on the IMO. Countries like Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria do very well on the IMO, but don't have a single Fields medal. Why?

@lilianweng We need a better HCI for AI because I can’t type anymore (carpal tunnel syndrome) 🥲

In the past few months, we had a lot of fun (and stress 😅) to produce 12 versions (+ many subversions) and 137 pages in our training run log book.
Turns out human-human collaboration is important to improving human-AI collaboration. 😊

People talk, listen, watch, think, and collaborate at the same time, in real time. We've designed an AI that works with people the same way. We share our approach, early results, and a quick look at our model in action. thinkingmachines.ai/blog/interacti…

@walden_yan I don’t work with IOI or IOM gold medal winners but I played tennis with them. They are all hedge fund managers. I am in NYC area though 😁

You should work with people who are better than you conceive possible. Not only Scott, but several of the team members at Cognition have expanded my understanding of the skill ceiling
Colossus@colossusmag
Scott Wu is the co-founder of Cognition AI, one of the fastest-growing companies in history. He’s also the greatest competitive programmer the US has ever produced. You may have seen him doing impossible card tricks and mental math. You’ve never seen him asked about weed, Michael Jordan, cancer, and human consciousness over a punnet of strawberries. That is what Colossus editor-in-chief Jeremy Stern did on a recent visit to San Francisco. For those less familiar with @ScottWu46: In 2nd grade, he entered a math competition for 7th graders, lost, and was so furious he still fumes about it 20 years later. The next year he entered the 9th-grade division as a 3rd-grader and got a perfect score. Then he won first place at the US national middle-school math competition and three straight gold medals at the International Olympiad in Informatics, where he became the greatest American gold-medalist and coach in history. Most of the people running the biggest AI companies met as teenagers, competing for their countries on international math and science teams. OpenAI’s Greg Brockman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Meta’s Alexandr Wang, to name just a few. Most agree that the von Neumann among them was Scott Wu. In November 2023, a few weeks after his mother died of lung cancer, on the day Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI, Wu founded his own AI company: Cognition. He was 26 and saw earlier than almost anyone that AI would converge on agents that work in the background, 24/7, like coworkers. He shipped Cognition’s AI software engineer Devin in March 2024. It worked poorly, and he took intense public criticism for it. Now, in its first 18 months of service, Devin has generated $445 million of revenue run rate and usage has doubled every eight weeks. The US Army, Goldman Sachs, and Mercedes-Benz are all customers. Cognition is raising at a valuation around $25 billion. @JeremySternLA sat down with Wu, the emperor of the nerds, to ask the questions we’d all ask one of the smartest people in America—building the most consequential technology of our generation—if we ever got the chance. As well as MJ and weed, they talk about the cluster of competitive math prodigies behind so much of AI, what makes us human when AGI arrives, and why Wu believes he was put on this earth to teach AI how to code. Read the piece below.

@soumithchintala I need this because I am getting carpal tunnel syndrome from typing too much with all the AI agents 🥲

Thinky's secret plan:
1: Increase Human<->AI bandwidth
2: Raise ceiling of human+AI intelligence
3: Help humans continue as main-characters in the new world
We are at Step 1.
Interaction Models are great real-time collaborative tools for humans.
Here's a preview:
