One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anything goes, full stream of consciousness. Sometimes I declare it up top, something like "switching to speech recognition sorry for any typos...". Sometimes I turn it into a small interview of a few turns. But I find that the LLMs are somehow very good at reconstructing long incoherent rambles and often their echo of your own tangle of thoughts comes out quite a bit cleaner than what you started with. The result is that you improve the mind meld and have to correct things less from that point on.

ahh this is an unfortunate result. I rly hope we establish a solid science of data attribution, as it one of our best methods of dealing with misaligned AIs or secretly loyal AIs

It's particularly salient for the secret loyalty case, because if you can 1) attribute the data responsible for the secret loyalty, and 2) ascertain who injected the malicious data, you can catch your attackers!

GLM 5.2: open weights, 1M context, near the top of the closed models on key benchmarks.

The benchmark isn't the story. Tokens per task are exploding (agents run for hours now) while price per token keeps falling (open weights). Both at once.

Bullish on both.

the future interface is probably three layers:

1. ambient intent capture

voice, location, calendar, screen context, messages, habits, biometrics, etc. the system understands what you’re trying to do before you explicitly “open” anything or augments your intent deeply.

2. agentic execution

the actual work happens through agents operating software, apis, browsers, documents, email, calendars, workflows, payments, support systems, whatever. most “computer use” becomes machine to machine clerical labor.

3. ephemeral verification ux

humans still need to inspect, compare, approve, edit, reject, or enjoy things. that’s where gui survives but as disposable, task specific surfaces generated for the moment.

@Dugri_Thoughts ירושה היא טעות בתזמון אבל אולי זו טעות שמתקן את עצמה ברגע שמסתכלים ב״שני hopים״? כלומר, כשסבתא נפטרת (טפו טפו) אז להורים בגיל 60 אין כבר מה לעשות עם זה, אבל הם מביאים את זה לילדים שבגיל 30 כדי לקנות להם בית / שינוי קריירה (ולהשפיע בצורה דרמטית על החיים שלהם).

@DannyLeshem נו אז לקחת את ההצעות? ;)
ואיך אתה מכליל את התפיסה של שוק יעיל לכל מה שקשור לכסף שזורם בPrivate Equity? שהמכשיר הזה סוג של מטשטש את הגבול ביניהם

[Gal Wiernik @0xgalw]

@DannyLeshem זה נחשב השקעה ״טובה״ מבוססת access בעיניך? (שעכשיו יש לכל מי ששומע על הסל הזה) - או שעצם הקיום של דבר כזה והעובדה שיש שוק יעיל אומרת שבעצם כבר אין מה לנסות להשקיע בחברות האלה? בקיצור לקנות או לא לקנות

Introducing USVC - a single basket of high-growth venture capital, for everyone.

No accreditation required, SEC-registered, and a very low $500 minimum.

Includes OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Sierra, Crusoe, Legora, and Vercel. As USVC adds more companies, investors will own a piece of that too.

Liquidity typically comes when companies exit, but we’re aiming to let investors redeem up to 5% of the fund every quarter. This isn’t guaranteed, but if we can make it work, you won’t be locked up like in a traditional venture fund.

It runs on AngelList, which already supports $125 billion of investor capital.

And I’ve joined USVC as the Chairman of its Investment Committee.
—

Go back to the 1500s, you set sail for the new world to find tons of gold - that was adventure capital.

Early-stage technology is the modern version. It says we are going to create something new, and it’s risky. It’s daring.

But ordinary people can’t invest until it’s old, until it’s no longer interesting, until everybody has access to it. By the time a stock IPOs, most of the alpha is gone. The adventure is gone. Public market investors are literally last in line.

This problem has become farcical in the last decade. Startups are reaching trillion dollar valuations in the private markets while ordinary investors have their noses up to the glass, wondering when they’ll be let in.

Investing in private markets isn’t easy. You need feet on the ground. You need judgment built over years. Most people don’t have the patience to wait ten or twenty years for an investment to come to fruition.

But there is no more productive, harder-working way to deploy a dollar than in true venture capital.

USVC enables you to invest in venture capital in a broad, accessible, professionally-managed way, through a single basket of innovation, focused on high-growth startups, at all stages.

It is how you bet on the future of tech: the smartest young people in the world, working insane hours, leveraged to the max, with code, hardware, capital, media, and community. Your dollar doesn’t work harder anywhere.

There is an old line - in the future, either you are telling a computer what to do, or a computer is telling you what to do. You don’t want to be on the wrong side of that transaction.

USVC lets you buy the future, but you buy it now. Then you wait, and if you are right, you get paid.

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. Lots of people have asked how I use Claude Code, so I wanted to show off my setup a bit.

My setup might be surprisingly vanilla! Claude Code works great out of the box, so I personally don't customize it much. There is no one correct way to use Claude Code: we intentionally build it in a way that you can use it, customize it, and hack it however you like. Each person on the Claude Code team uses it very differently.

So, here goes.

Our new research suggests TikTok’s algorithm systematically boosts pro-Mamdani and anti-Cuomo content in NYC’s mayoral race.

This analysis was done by Spring AI. the company uncovers the hidden mechanics of social media algorithms to defend democracies from weaponized AI.
