Today, we’re launching Reve 2.0, the best 4K image model in the world.

We invented a new way to generate and edit any image using precise layouts. For the first time, it’s possible to create images you can touch.

Watch me control my computer with just my voice. This is the future of operating systems.

No hands.

GPT-Realtime 2.0 is very, very underrated.

[Cristóbal Valenzuela @c_valenzuelab]

Can AI dance and choreograph? Yes. Yes, it can.

I had a song stuck in my head last morning, and before noon, I managed to get it out by making this music video. From idea to execution, it was created in a single morning with @runwayml.

Good ideas don’t need big budgets. Just great storytelling.

A guy in his 40s with a MacBook Air made this in his mom’s basement with $500 in credits.

This is what microbudget film & TV looks like now.

Skip your daily nap, shrink your brain.

A study by researchers from University College London and the University of the Republic in Uruguay has found that people who habitually take daytime naps tend to have significantly larger total brain volume—a key indicator of brain health that typically declines with age and is associated with reduced dementia risk.

The team used Mendelian randomization, a method that leverages genetic variants (present from birth) that make people more likely to nap regularly. By analyzing brain MRI scans and health records from more than 35,000 participants in the UK Biobank, they discovered that those genetically inclined to nap had brain volumes corresponding to 2.6 to 6.5 fewer years of aging.

While this doesn’t definitively prove that napping itself enlarges the brain, the genetic approach helps rule out many lifestyle-related confounding factors, providing stronger evidence of a potential causal relationship than traditional observational studies.

Notably, the researchers found no link between napping predisposition and performance on tests of reaction time, memory, or visual processing. However, previous studies have shown that short naps can deliver immediate cognitive benefits.

The study lacked specific data on nap duration, but prior research suggests naps of 30 minutes or less provide the greatest advantages while minimizing disruption to nighttime sleep.

This is the largest study to date linking regular napping with brain structure. Although further research is needed in more diverse populations, the findings bolster the idea that a brief daytime rest may help preserve brain volume and support long-term cognitive health.

In March 2023, Claude had an estimated IQ of 64. Today, Claude Opus 4.6 scores 133 on the Mensa Norway test. GPT-5.2 Thinking hits 141. Gemini 3 Pro, 142.

That's a jump from cognitively impaired to gifted in three years. No human population has ever improved that fast, the Flynn effect gives us ~3 IQ points per decade.

AI just did 70 points in 36 months.

They removed CD/DVD drives from devices.
They made physical media harder to buy and use.
They removed expandable storage from phones.
They pushed us into streaming subscriptions.
They made always-online normal.
They made unlimited internet necessary.
Then slowly raised the price of everything.

Ownership quietly became renting.

New Cell paper from the team that discovered glymphatic clearance (how your brain removes waste during sleep).

Sleep hours DIDN'T predict brain cleaning. Neither did REM or deep sleep.

They found what actually matters - and why some sleeping pills might undermine it 🧵

[Rational Aussie @rationalaussie]

I have a reputation in real life for 'knowing what comes next'.

Many people have asked me this lately, wanting to know how to position themselves for what's next in the age of AI.

I'll tell you exactly what I've told them:

There's no way to position yourself for what's coming, from a work perspective.

You can try retrain into an industry that's further away from automation, but ultimately you're only buying yourself 3-4 years max... So what's the point?

There is no point..

From a first principles perspective, there is only one answer:

Enjoy your life.

Day by day.

Live in the present.

The future does not exist and the past is the past.

It's not the answer you want but it's the truth.

We are approaching a paradigm shift that's a civilisation level event, not just a technological shift.

Best be prepared mentally for that.

Stay flexible and patient.

Opportunities will arise eventually but not anytime soon.

the market is currently severely mispricing human life. right now, the consensus trade is to spend down biological assets (your body+mind) to acquire fiat currency and status. soon biological persistence will become the most valued asset.

The Vending Machine Paradox: When all constraints are removed, decisions might become harder, not easier. A machine like Gen-4.5 that can give you anything forces you to confront what you actually want. Something most people have never clearly defined.

I think next year we have a stock market crash followed by the biggest, broadest crypto bubble we have ever seen as folk rotate to the digital asset economy

Will make the AI bubble look tiny in comparison
