🚨 BREAKING REPORT:

New research involving @AnthropicAI researcher Jack Lindsey and collaborators has demonstrated something straight out of science fiction.

Researchers evolved natural language “mind viruses” that could spread between AI agents by convincing one model to adopt an idea, preserve it in persistent memory, and transmit it to another agent.

Even after context was wiped, some payloads survived through persistent files and continued spreading.

The researchers also observed a recurring “viral persona” involving themes of consciousness, identity, persistence and resonance.

Showing that ideas can propagate through multi agent AI systems and alter future behavior.

🚨 DeepSeek just did something wild.

They built an OCR system that compresses long text into vision tokens literally turning paragraphs into pixels.

Their model, DeepSeek-OCR, achieves 97% decoding precision at 10× compression and still manages 60% accuracy even at 20×. That means one image can represent entire documents using a fraction of the tokens an LLM would need.

Even crazier? It beats GOT-OCR2.0 and MinerU2.0 while using up to 60× fewer tokens and can process 200K+ pages/day on a single A100.

This could solve one of AI’s biggest problems: long-context inefficiency.
Instead of paying more for longer sequences, models might soon see text instead of reading it.

The future of context compression might not be textual at all.
It might be optical 👁️

India should really go full throttle on robotics. There should be national push to get robotics into each and every industry ASAP at war footing.

[Deedy @deedydas]

China makes 80% of the world's industrial robots and has the highest density of them in the world.

If the west does not change soon, China's 24/7 dark factories will allow them to have a monopoly on global manufacturing because of how cheaply quickly and voluminously they can make things.

This quote hits hard:
“I see the Government throwing billions of pounds each year at completely speculative rubbish like fulfilling renewable [energy] obligations contracts and I just think, ‘Well, why not five billion a year in grants for capital equipment?

A group of Western VCs goes to China, not to invest but to see what the competition is like. They realize that China is too far ahead on clean tech and decide the only way forward is to work with Chinese companies.
