Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

Westmag is building American robot actuators and drone motors at scale.

In 2025, @westmagco raised $11M led by @a16z, with participation from @FoundersFund, @LuxCapital, NFDG, @MenloVentures, and other top investors.

Since then, we’ve been building industrial capacity, crawling up supply chains, and securing high-volume customers.

Now, we’re ramping production at our factory in South San Francisco to deliver against committed offtake orders from high-volume customers.

Westmag is committed to scaling quickly in the US to deliver millions of drone motors and robot actuators to the surging domestic and global market.

We’re building the great American motor and actuator company.

Artificial general intelligence is here. It really is just not evenly distributed. Most people don’t know how to get the most out of AI and are still stuck in there old ways.

Three years since the first flight of Starship, the next generation is here. New ship. New booster. New engines. New pad and new test site. SpaceX engineers are working to solve one of the most difficult engineering challenges in history: developing a fully, rapidly reusable rocket

So close to where stitch landed

[Insider Paper @TheInsiderPaper]

NEW: NASA says that people along the coast of San Diego County in California might hear a sonic boom Friday afternoon when the Orion capsule carrying the Artemis II crew re-enters the atmosphere, wrapping up its historic trip around the moon.

The boom may be loud enough to rattle windows when the capsule re-enters the atmosphere shortly before 5 p.m, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports

[NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman @NASAAdmin]

The world stopped to watch Artemis II.

Moments like this remind us what is possible and inspire the next generation to dream bigger and take us even further.

We are just getting started on this grand adventure. It is time to start believing again.

Doesn’t work on my new Mac with IOS 26 such an ass pain

[@levelsio @levelsio]

Got the new MacBook Neo

It's great but I somehow can't login to Tailscale

Login via GitHub, then logged in at GitHub then it gets stuck and infinite load at Tailscale

Wanna to use this as a Termius SSH-only device

[Grant Tremblay @astrogrant]

“I have two versions of outlook and neither of them are working” is actually a generational NASA quote now. Not quite One Small Step but every generation lives in a different world

[Shishir @ShishirShelke1]

Artemis II crew is thousands of miles away from Earth

And they’re asking ground crew for help because they have two versions of Microsoft Outlook open and neither is working

This scene is now canon 😭

[Andrew McCarthy @AJamesMcCarthy]

A reminder that humans can do incredible things when we work together with purpose.

Dudes only want one thing and it’s to go back to the fricken moon

[NASA @NASA]

We're going around the Moon. Come watch with us. Artemis II's four-astronaut crew is lifting off from @NASAKennedy on an approximately 10-day mission that will bring us closer to living on the Moon and Mars. The launch window opens at 6:24pm ET (2224 UTC). https://t.co/X27QJejNDt

@ibuildthecloud Termius + Tailscale to a VPS running Claude is all you need on that

This is wild.

143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history.

Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots.

Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget.

Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard.

The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

one man with a chatbot, and $3,000 just outperformed the entire pharmaceutical discovery pipeline.

we are going to cure so many diseases.
I dont think people realize how good things are going to get
