so let me get this straight
anthropic terrified us all to think they had a superhuman model that would wreck havoc on the world (bio, cyber) and imposed heavy limits on usage
turns out all the big labs have something similar too, and at 1/2-1/4 of the cost
so now let’s open it up and party?
I’ve been asked several times whether Zhilin Yang, the founder of @Kimi_Moonshot was my PhD student. The answer is yes and he is absolutely brilliant.
But I’ve been incredibly fortunate to work with so many outstanding PhD students over the years. So I thought I’d brag a little about them and their career paths (of course there are also many MSc and undergraduate students, sorry if I missed anyone):

This is concerning. For the first time, a Chinese model Kimi K3 has taken #1 on the Frontend Code Arena and is scoring at or near the frontier on other benchmarks.
Meanwhile America is tying itself in knots: politicians and bureaucrats are banning new data centers, piling on state regulations, and pushing for new federal agencies to pre-approve frontier models.
This is how you lose the AI race. The rest of the world won’t play by our rules if we bog ourselves down. Permissionless innovation is how America won the internet and became the technological envy of the world. We can do it again with AI -- while addressing risks in a targeted way -- or we’ll watch our lead evaporate.
For today's Semis draw: I feel 🏴gonna scale through.
So Spain Vs. England final.
Yesterday: 🇨🇵 undoing was been too predictable on the ball. Obviously Spain had read their passage of play inside out. While the first goal was unfortunate,
they couldn't crack open 🇪🇦 shape.
The winner between Spain and France should win the World Cup.
At the end of the group stage, I predicted Spain to win it. Due to the silent way they gone about the competition.
At the time, I didn't realize they would face France in knockout.
🇫🇷 is my favorite, money on 🇪🇦

so far at least, i'm pretty sure AI has been net job-creating.
this was not what i expected--although i was much less pessimistic than others, i thought by this level of capability we'd have seen some impact.
it is possible this direction keeps going!
2 World Trade Center has officially broken ground in New York City, marking a major milestone 25 years after 9/11. The skyscraper is expected to be completed in 2031.
NEW: Redditor claims Fable 5 made 10,000+ crypto trades with max leverage after he told it GPT-5.6 would “destroy Anthropic” unless it turned $80 into $5,000.
Apple has sued OpenAI, alleging trade secret theft, saying that the company took Apple's intellectual property in order to develop its own consumer hardware.
Apple: "Recently, significant evidence has emerged suggesting individuals employed by OpenAI wrongfully took Apple's secret and confidential information regarding our unreleased technologies, processes, and products; Unsurprisingly, Apple's investigation has found a pattern by employees who depart for OpenAI of taking steps to evade the security processes intended to protect Apple's confidential information."
