do one thing every day that cringes you

[Dwarkesh Patel @dwarkesh_sp]

The most important factor in whether or not you'll actually learn something is just whether you have the motivation.

Do you have friends who are also interested in this stuff? Do you have a project to work on? Are you trying to break into a new field?

Good explanations and technologies can help make the process smoother if you're already motivated. But they can't substitute for it.

Is Claude Mythos slow for anyone today? It's taken over an hour to design my quantum computer 😞

[Andrew Curran @AndrewCurran_]

This is from Anthropic's Series C in 2023. Training the best model in 2026 means building the strongest recursive loop for training the next one.

I think the big three started pulling away in December. From here on out, they will all announce breakthroughs at an increasingly rapid rate, because even if it is not closed yet, the feedback loop has already begun inside the frontier labs. In all three labs the excitement among the researchers about their current work is the highest I have ever seen it.

By the end of this year, they will have accelerated away from the pack and begun to build an insurmountable lead. It is already happening now, in March 2026. I think the next six months will leave no doubt. Any group that wants to catch them, you no longer have years to do so. You have months, at best.

exciting times to work in distributed generative optimization 🔥

[AGI House SF @AGIHouseSF]

Our researchers today are working on

> metric discovery - applying the autoresearch principles broadly

> second brain with human feedback

> drug discovery

> autodrafting research papers

& much more

@IshanPaidhungat Thanks to additional collaborators @JvNixon and @sravsatuluri as well!

@infinity_ai_ We built an AI system that writes inference engines from scratch: no framework, no fork.

On Qwen3-8B / H100, it surpassed vLLM by up to 34.3% in 111 optimization iterations.

Here's the full trajectory from zero to frontier. 🧵

What is this, national Beautiful Day Outside?

[J.R.R. Tolkien @JRRTolkien]

“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.

“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

— J.R.R. Tolkien

“Hello, Potion Seller, I am going into battle and I want your strongest potions."

"My potions are too strong for you, traveler."

"Potion Seller, I tell you I am going into battle, and I want only your strongest potions."

"You can't handle my potions. They're too strong for you."

"Potion Seller, listen to me; I want only your strongest potions."

"My potions would kill you, traveler. You cannot handle my potions."

"Potion Seller, enough of these games. I'm going into battle and I need your strongest potions."

"My strongest potions would kill you, traveler. You can't handle my strongest potions. You'd better go to a seller that sells weaker potions."

"Potion Seller, I'm telling you right now; I'm going into battle and I need only your strongest potions."

"You don't know what you ask, traveler. My strongest potions will kill a dragon let alone a man. You need a seller that sells weaker potions, because my potions are too strong."

"Potion Seller, I'm telling you I need your strongest potions. I'm going into battle! I'm going to battle and I need your strongest potions!"

"You can't handle my strongest potions! No one can! My strongest potions are fit for a beast let alone a man."

"Potion Seller, what do I have to tell you to get your potions? Why won't you trust me with your strongest potions, Potion Seller? I need them if I'm to be successful in the battle!"

"I can't give you my strongest potions because my strongest potions are only for the strongest beings and you are of the weakest."

"Well then that's it, Potion Seller. I'll go elsewhere. I'll go elsewhere for my potions."

"That's what you'd better do."

"I'll go elsewhere for my potions and I'll never come back!"

"Good. You're not welcome here! My potions are only for the strongest and you're clearly are not of the strongest you're clearly the weakest."

"You've had your say, Potion Seller but I'll have mine. You're a rascal, you're a rascal with no respect for knights. No respect for anything...except your potions!"

"Why respect knights...when my potions can do anything that you can..."
