Introducing Atlas:

The world's first multimodal world model that generates image and video frames with pixel-perfect camera control and reconstructs them in 3D.

Model the world, move the camera, and simulate space & time.

You know you've got a serious issue when you've got too many tabs open on @cursor_ai and @ChatGPT. Still love using Arc browser thanks to @arcinternet. Have people made the switch to Dia? @browsercompany

@sytaylor hey simon, i'd love to come. would eat all brain food.

I was listening to the latest episode of @InvestLikeBest and it talked a lot about S-curves..

So I had Fable one shot a website that talked about all the S-curves, their inflection point & commentary on each being a bubble in the last 200 years.

Live now on escurves dot com 🌊

Anthropic just shipped sleep into agents.

When you sleep, your hippocampus replays the day's neural sequences to the cortex during 150-220 Hz bursts called sharp-wave ripples. The replay runs about 20x faster than the original experience. A 10-second sequence gets compressed to roughly 500 milliseconds. Wilson and McNaughton showed this in rats in 1994. You ran this algorithm last night on whatever you did yesterday, whether you wanted to or not.

The replay does two things at once. It extracts statistical patterns: what mattered, what generalizes, which sequences predicted reward. And it reorganizes the memory trace from hippocampus-dependent storage into neocortex, which is why old memories survive hippocampal damage but recent ones don't. Disrupt sharp-wave ripples in a rat with optogenetics and the rat fails the next day's task. The replay is causal, not correlational.

Most "agent memory" today is a search engine. Past sessions get embedded, you retrieve relevant chunks at the next call. That works for facts. It does not extract patterns and it does not reorganize the trace. Which is why agents plateau. The memory volume keeps growing while real capability flatlines.

Dreaming reviews past sessions, extracts patterns, curates memories. That is the brain's actual three-step algorithm. They called it dreaming because dreaming is what the algorithm does, in roughly the same order, for roughly the same reason.

Agents that dream between sessions will compound. The ones still running on raw context window will hit the same ceiling humans hit when they pull all-nighters.

@xtra_green @aakashgupta True, but I think it’s easier to play tennis into older age ranges than it is with basketball.

@AnthropicAI does anyone else's Claude look like this right now?

@ZoziarTheZozo @_nightsweekends @_buildspace @FarzaTV I love the idea of this; which topic are you going to FOCUS on? this is incredibly important; I don't feel like I was properly educated on this stuff growing up. But, this topic also feels overly broad. How do you plan on building with specificity, depth, and credibility?

[John Min @heyjohnmin]

@msl_archive I love this idea! I went to grad school straight after college. I found transitions to be incredibly difficult; right after colleg and then, after grad school again... adapting from college-life to post-grad life and then, from academia to industry

[John Min @heyjohnmin]

@samihasingh_ @_buildspace @_nightsweekends @FarzaTV I love this - curious to know if you've checked out related products like Clay and Dex in the personal CRM space. A couple other features I would find helpful: voice notes + summarization of notes from other apps.

@realEstateTrent Sounds like he should get an AMEX charge card.
