A 22-year-old student teacher in Illinois sent a private Snapchat message to her boyfriend and two roommates.

A student had walked up to her laptop and deleted her lesson plan mid-class. frustrated, she typed something like "should I shoot him" with a gun emoji. venting. four people. private group chat.

An hour later, police walked into her school and arrested her.

here's what happened in between.

Snapchat's AI scanned the private message. flagged it as a potential threat. automatically reported it to the FBI. the FBI forwarded it to local law enforcement. deputies arrived at the school within the hour.

she cooperated immediately. handed over her phone. when shown the message she said: "oh yes. okay. yeah. i'm realizing that was a bad joke. i did not mean it at all serious at all."

police determined she was not a threat. school officials determined she was not a threat. prosecutors reviewed and issued a disorderly conduct charge. she was released the next morning. she lost her student teaching placement.

This means:

Snapchat scans private messages.

Not just public posts or stories. private group chats between you and your closest contacts. automated AI. no human reviewed it first, got flagged and reported.

Snapchat AI → FBI → local police → school → arrest.

in under an hour.

Snapchat's privacy policy says it may share your information with law enforcement when it believes there is a risk of harm. the definition of "risk of harm" is determined by an algorithm.

you are not told when a message is flagged.
you are not told when a report is filed.
you find out when the police arrive.

the message was private.

it wasn't.

SIMONSON:
Well, I'm afaid Hal was lying. (...)Under orders from earth he was forced to lie. In everything except this he had the usual reinforced truth programming. We believe his truth programming and the instructions to lie, gradually resulted in an incompatible conflict, and facedc with this dilemman, he developed, for want of a better description, neurotic symptoms. (...) At this point, he, presumably, took whatever actions he thought appropriate to protect himself from what must have seemed to him to be his human tormentors. If I can speak in human terms, I don't think we can blame him too much. We have ordered him to disobey his conscience. Well, that's it. It's very speculative, but we think it is a possible explanation.

OH. MY. GOODNESS.

CITADEL HAS BOUGHT A MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC ASSETS FROM LEOPOLD'S SITUATIONAL AWARENESS FUND.

So...Citadel scares everyone on Tuesday about a surprise rate hike during FOMC that WE ALL KNEW was not going to happen...

On Wednesday, the entire market freaks out about the rate hike which causes the selling to compound on itself creating 50-70% drawdowns across the board in high beta semicondcutor names...

Which means Leopold who we now know had $45B of assets and was 400% LEVERED ends up being the sacrifice as he gets liquidated at what theoretically could be the bottom due to not having the margin requirements to keep solvent...

AND THE PERSON WHO CAUSED THE SELLOFF WITH THE RATE HIKE FEARS ENDS UP COMING IN TO BUY HIS ASSETS FOR 40 TO 50 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR.

By the way, Leopold is getting married this weekend. I think he wanted to make sure he wasn't getting margin called during his wedding.

We believe the Sovereign AI revolution is the most important movement since the advent of LLMs. This is a rebellion against the harvesting and migration of institutions’ and individuals’ data into the weights of closed models, only for their own knowledge to be rented back or used to replace them. It is a rebellion against the statistical tendency of these models towards the average and mediocrity. We believe every great institution is differentiated, and sovereignty is what enables that institution to own, protect, and compound its differentiation. We are the leader because we have been doing this for twenty years. Everything we have built has been in service of giving institutions maximal control over their operations, data, decisions, and their future. We are the sovereignty company. We do not exist by extracting value from our customers. We are confident enough to take on the risk of failure, and unlike any other company, we succeed only when our customers do. We are pushing the frontier and creating genuine impact in the world’s most important institutions. Thank you to all the Palantirians currently building, to our hundreds of commercial and government partners around the world, and to those who paved the way. The revolution is just beginning. Join us.

We’ve decided to open-source a multi-agent harness we use internally at YC.

We call it “QM” and it’s meant to be easy to customize, like Hermes or OpenClaw, but useful for a whole company. We use it across accounting, legal, events, and engineering (including building QM itself!).

The whole project is under an MIT license. It is cloud-first and has Slack and web UI natively.

For decades, we’ve dreamed of robots that can seamlessly step into our world and lend a hand.

Today, we take a major stride toward making that dream a reality:

Introducing Gemini Robotics 2 from @GoogleDeepMind, the intelligence layer powering the next generation of truly adaptable robots. This major advance unlocks intelligent whole-body control, advanced dexterity, and even multi-robot collaboration 🤯.

Ok but... how does a robot actually "think"?

Real-world tasks take time and planning. To manage that complexity, our new embodied reasoning model, Gemini Robotics ER 2, acts as the robot’s high-level brain, enhancing the robot’s capabilities to:

— Observe the environment
— Reason about the actions needed to complete the task
— Coordinate with the vision-language-action model to carry out actions
— Track progress until the job is done

This setup allows robots to execute complex multi-step workflows, self-correct if a step fails, and adapt to completely novel situations.

Today, roughly the same amount of basic research is done in industry as in academia. It’s time our doctoral training reflected that.

@NSF is launching a first-of-its-kind 4-year PhD program at more than 30 universities. Students will spend a year+ embedded with industry partners doing research that informs their dissertation.

If you even slightly entertain the thought of failure, you give your mind a chance to start noticing reasons to fail. But if the only option on your mind is to win, then the world seems to conspire in your favor, because your mind will notice opportunities it wouldn't have before. Become delusionally optimistic, not because it's realistic, but because it's effective. It drastically increases your chances of success.

Announcing the Claude Code-compatible interface for our new Fugu-Ultra v1.1! 🐡

Put a dynamically coordinated team of frontier models to work inside the coding workflow you already know.

Instead of relying on a single model to write, debug, and execute your code, you can now orchestrate a diverse pool of state-of-the-art models directly from your terminal.

Put the whole school to work on your next task:

Sam Altman: “The first one is that we are close to creating a "genie" that can grant any wish”

Sam Altmanwas recently asked what the single most important thing to explain to the world about artificial intelligence is.

The first one is that we are close to creating a "genie" that can grant any wish (AGI)

The second point is to make sure that these wishes are broadly beneficial to humanity.

The third point is that the range of wishes is large and diverse.

And finally, the fourth point is when we start making wishes, and the computer grants them and we didn’t expect that it would be able to do that.

By blending the core concepts and quotes from a specific book, a specific movie, three to five specific mathematicians, and three to five specific philosophers, you can unlock highly unusual regions within these LLM models. Depending on your research goals—strictly for academic purposes, of course—you might also integrate the insights of a specific biologist.

Advice from the young C.S. Lewis: "Keep clear of introspection, of brooding, of spiritualism, of everything eccentric. Keep to work and sanity and open air – to the cheerful & the matter of fact side of things. We hold our mental health by a thread: & nothing is worth risking for it. Above all beware of excessive day dreaming, of seeing yourself in the centre of a drama, of self pity, and, as far as possible, of fears.”
