Research Product Manager at Anthropic:
"Models are now planning before acting, recovering from errors, and running over much longer horizons. The question is whether your system actually lets them use these new capabilities"
She showed how much Claude has improved at autonomous work.
But these gains only show up when you stop forcing the model to re-learn who you are every single conversation.
The 7 Skills system gives it exactly that persistent layer.
NVIDIA CEO, Jensen Huang:
"We need to bring back the builders, the makers, people who want to create this industrial sector for the United States"
He calls it the perfect time to re-industrialize America through AI.
From his talk at Coherent in Sherman, Texas:
- AI is the ultimate general purpose technology. 5 layers. Will transform every industry in a $100T economy.
- US chip fabs growing for the first time in decades.
600,000 jobs already created.
- Optical interconnects are critical for AI factories. NVIDIA partnership will 4x output at Coherent's Sherman fab.
- 10 years from now: sustainable energy + balanced workforce of builders and makers.
Watch the 23 minute talk
Jane Street quants thought they understood compute. Then this Meta engineer walked in and explained how we actually run a trillion trillion FLOPs.
I watched the full talk. These are the parts that actually matter:
- Llama 2 = 973 lines of pure C. The model is trivial. Hitting 50% GPU utilization is the real problem.
- Tensor Cores in 2017 gave matmuls 10x speedup overnight. Everything else instantly became the bottleneck.
- 40% of training time is just moving data between memory and compute. Operator fusion is the single most important optimization in ML compilers.
- Compilers are bad at math. That’s why Flex Attention exists - you describe any attention mask in Python and it guarantees a fused kernel.
- 131k GPUs = a hardware failure every 15 minutes. Scaling is now a fault-tolerance problem.

🚨HACKERS MOCK OZEMPIC MAKER FOR "NOVO123" PASSWORD
Hackers breached Novo Nordisk in March via a stolen GitHub token and just leaked 264 GB of data while mocking its weak security. The attack ran for over 2 months.
- The hackers say Novo Nordisk used simple passwords like "novo123" on critical systems
- Source code and proprietary details on Ozempic and pipeline drugs were stolen
- Clinical trial data on employees, doctors, and patients got exposed
- Private internal AI models from the company were also taken
This breach shows how a single weak password can bring down even the biggest names in pharma

UK GOVERNMENT GETS DESTROYED BY 4CHAN LAWYER
4chan’s US lawyer torched the British government on LBC.
He said Parliament gave Ofcom an impossible job by trying to force American platforms to obey UK rules.
- The UK fined 4chan £520,000 for refusing age checks and risk assessments.
- Preston Byrne said the UK still doesn’t understand America has a completely different legal system.
- 4chan is protected by the First Amendment and refused to pay a single penny.
- Britain handed its regulator a mission it cannot realistically enforce.
Some countries are still learning the internet doesn’t take orders from Westminster.
4chan’s lawyer says the UK government “doesn’t understand the internet” and has given Ofcom an “impossible task” by trying to enforce British online safety rules on US-based platforms.
Preston Byrne, who represents 4chan, argued that the site is protected by the First Amendment and doesn’t have to comply with UK demands.
“The UK just isn’t getting the memo that the United States has a different system and we do things in a different way.”
He also claimed Parliament misunderstood how the internet works and set Ofcom up with a mission it can’t realistically enforce.
Ofcom fined 4chan £520,000 under the Online Safety Act for failing to implement age checks and other safety measures. 4chan has refused to pay.

Midjourney just built a full-body scanner.
From AI cat pics to real medical hardware.
You get lowered into water. 500k sensors. 60 seconds. No radiation.
> MRI-level detail of muscles, organs, bones
> First "Midjourney Spa" opens in San Francisco end of 2027
> Goal: 50,000 scanners worldwide, a billion scans a month
Early prototype scans already look crazy.
