Goed gedaan, @StasDigi: klassieke overheidstaken moet je niet uitbesteden. Technologie uitbesteden aan derde landen betekent bovendien dat je toekomstige (geo)politieke drukpunten creëert. Goed dat er ook vanuit die bril wordt nagedacht. Van 30-11-2025 @Buitenhoftv https://t.co/YfvzmBZSqZ

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Elon talent raising TSMC. He’s going to mess up their wage structure so badly. 😂

Meanwhile in China, the viral White House prayer scene has turned into a full-blown social media trend. Bosses at small businesses and factories are rounding up their employees to make fun of the stunt—forming a circle, placing hands on shoulders or heads, and praying in a humorous way for “better sales, higher incomes for every worker and the whole company.”

Videos of these “prayer circles” are blowing up on Douyin and Weibo. Not sure how much divine favor the White House actually summoned, but these Chinese bosses? They straight-up turned the Oval Office prayer stunt into free global marketing gold🤣

Billions of transistors with features just nanometers wide power today’s most advanced devices – and our extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tech makes these nanoscale features a reality.

New episode w @AdamMarblestone on what the brain's secret sauce is: how do we learn so much from so little?

Also, the answer to Ilya’s question: how does the genome encode desires for high level concepts that are only seen during lifetime?

Turns out, they’re deeply connected questions.

Timestamps
0:00:00 – The brain’s secret sauce is the reward functions, not the architecture
0:22:20 – What the genome actually encodes
0:42:42 – What kind of RL is the brain doing?
0:50:31 – Is biological hardware a limitation or an advantage?
1:03:59 – Why we need to map the human brain
1:23:28 – What value will automating math have?
1:38:18 – Architecture of the brain

Look up Dwarkesh Podcast on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, etc. Enjoy!

ELON WANTS TO OPEN-SOURCE 𝕏 – ALL OF IT

No leaks, no guesses – just raw code, wide open.

Code Drop:

* Full 𝕏 codebase could go public – algorithms, features, all of it

* Devs could build custom versions, fix bugs, or fork their own 𝕏

* It’s radical transparency in an industry that hides everything

* Risks? Sure. But the upside rewrites how platforms are built

If this happens, it’s not just open-source – it’s open power.
