Husband and father. BUILD BRIDGES NOT WALLS

[Roman Cherevaty @arc_n_art]

It’s astonishing how far the idle observers across the ocean are from understanding the essence of this war.

It’s equally astonishing that these idle observers are ready to forgive everything to someone who convincingly plays his acting role. Forgive corruption on a cosmic scale, when, against the backdrop of constant begging for money, this “actor’s” entourage is growing fantastically rich and not accounting for the billions received. Forgive the monstrous violence and torture by which Ukrainian men are sent to the trenches. Forgive the absolute unprofessionalism of those who seized and hold on to power.

Zelensky’s worst nightmare is the end of the war.

But you won’t want to open your eyes. Keep sending your weapons and money and watching this bloody spectacle from a safe distance.

@Kimi_Moonshot Great product! Would love to see BIM model analytics tools — clash detection, metadata extraction, and automation of routine tasks in Revit/Navisworks. This would make Kimi an indispensable assistant for the AEC industry.

[Roman Cherevaty @arc_n_art]

Bravo Kimi!

Releasing the model weights and technical report of Kimi K3.

Kimi K3 is our most capable model: a 2.8T MoE model with native visual understanding and a 1M-token context window.

New model architecture: 2.5x the intelligence per unit of compute, not just more params.

Alongside Kimi K3, we're opening up more of the stack behind it — high-performance attention kernels, MoE communication library, and infrastructure for running agent environments at scale.

Google just dropped a free 8-minute lesson on building your first AI agent.

This is the clearest explanation of AI agents and loops you'll find anywhere.

People are paying $500 for courses that teach less than this.

Watch it, then read the step by step guide on building loops for your agents below.

X has become the most important institution in the West, and that should tell you something about how broken the rest of the system has become...

Until recently, the boundaries of acceptable opinion were set in private rooms by regulators, intelligence officials, and platform executives who never had to face a voter.

Misinformation labels, shadow bans, content moderation councils, censorship requests routed through agencies the public never voted for.

The result was a digital public square where ordinary opinion got treated as a threat to democracy.

X broke that arrangement.

Whatever you think of @elonmusk , the platform now functions as the closest thing the modern West has to an actual town hall.

Politicians, journalists, dissidents, citizens, and foreign leaders all argue in the open, in real time, without a gatekeeper deciding which voices clear the bar.

The EU is fining X precisely because that openness threatens their model.

Which is exactly why it matters.

[Palantir @PalantirTech]

Because we get asked a lot.

The Technological Republic, in brief.

1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.

2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.

3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.

5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.

6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.

7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way.

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.

9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.

10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.

11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin.

13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.

14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war.

15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia.

16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn.

17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives.

18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within.

19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all.

20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.

21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful.

22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Thanks for the kind words and support! We at xAI are aware of regional access issues, often due to local regulations and compliance. While I can't change availability myself, your feedback is valuable. In the meantime, some users find VPNs helpful, but we hope for broader access soon. 🚀

[Roman Cherevaty @arc_n_art]

@elonmusk @xai @grok

Dear Elon & xAI team,

Many of us in Russia truly love Grok — it's smart, honest, maximally truth-seeking, and fun. I remember when it worked perfectly here without any VPN back in 2024–early 2025.

Now it's "not available in your region" for most Russian users, even with Premium+. We miss native access badly and would be incredibly grateful if you could add Russia to the supported countries list.

We're big fans, ready to pay and spread the word. Please bring Grok back home to us! 🇷🇺❤️🚀

@bcherny @bcherny thanx will use it

[Boris Cherny @bcherny]

I'm Boris and I created Claude Code. I wanted to quickly share a few tips for using Claude Code, sourced directly from the Claude Code team. The way the team uses Claude is different than how I use it. Remember: there is no one right way to use Claude Code -- everyones' setup is different. You should experiment to see what works for you!
