@demishassabis Exceptionally clear. AGI is a new substrate for intelligence. Your adaptive Frontier Standards Body is pragmatic and necessary. Evaluation must outpace agentic self-improvement.

Congrats on the Ploy launch, @bryantchou the always-on agent loop is the first thing in this space that feels like it runs the site, not just generates it.
One piece of founder-to-founder feedback: keeping code export on the $300 tier is steep for solo builders and single-site users. An à la carte or one-time export option would go a long way on trust portability is what makes people comfortable going all-in. Either way, real impressive build.😉

2/ Local models give you 100% control. No dependencies. No surprises.
They’re not just an alternative anymore they’re insurance.
Start building with them this weekend

The Fable 5 situation is a wake-up call.
Centralized AI can disappear overnight. One government order and your entire workflow is gone.
This is bigger than any social media algo change.

Vinod, Sergei's email nails it :-) Sergei is on to something: AI turned more info into pure chaos.Yet here we go, handing drudgery to AI so we can invent wilder problems to solve. This eternal spicy loop keeps life beautifully https://t.co/q1YUEbDdcV 2035 we'll need Highlight 2.0 to rescue us from our own genius. Classic us :-) Warm congrats to the team! 💛

Everyone cheering a “Wall Street ban” should slow down.

This is not about defending bad actors. It is about understanding how housing actually works.

In 2008, when jobs vanished, credit froze, and millions lost homes, private capital stepped into distressed housing because somebody had to buy, rehab, finance, and operate those homes. The lesson was not “love Wall Street.” The lesson was that housing needs liquidity when markets break.

Today, mortgage rates are back above 6% again. That means more families get pushed out of ownership and into renting. So why would we pass a bill that risks choking future rental supply?

Large institutional investors are a small national share of the market less than 3%. The real crisis is still supply. This bill may barely help prices, but it can absolutely hurt renters if it kneecaps build-to-rent.

Real reform = build more, zone smarter, finance first-time buyers better, punish abuse where it exists, and stop confusing anti-investor politics with pro-housing policy.

The most powerful force on earth isn't money, technology, or politics. It's a human being who feels something deeply enough to do something about it.

The Fed was about to cut rates.
Housing was finally getting affordable.
AI was already eating jobs.
Then a 21-mile waterway broke everything overnight.

This is not the story you think it is.

@BenMillerise Only snag: hit this “Error sending message” mid-analysis (screenshot attached). Everything else is spot-on. Keep shipping! 😊

The opportunities to create a new business and do things that haven't been done before are higher than ever.

@APompliano Deflation sounds great until the spiral hits: delayed spending, rising real debt, job cuts. But with CPI at 2.7% (not 1.2%), Fed's pause hedges against reflation risks. Smart caution, not insanity.

[Chantal Gakwaya @chantalGak]

@KobeissiLetter ban on institutional home buys? Misguided. They own just 2-3% nationally targeting them is like patching a leaky roof in a hurricane. Real storm: high interest rates, tariffs spiking build costs, & soaring electricity bills crushing affordability.

[Chantal Gakwaya @chantalGak]

@BillAckman Solid thesis, but devil's advocate: 4 to 7 percent of China's oil imports from Venezuela is easily replaceable with Russia/Saudi pivots and stockpiles. US "control" takes years amid chaos, might embolden Beijing on Taiwan by exposing overreach. Energy leverage overstated; Xi pivots faster. Thoughts?
