Squidsoup is a collective of artists and designers who make immersive experiences with sound, light and space.
We caught up with them before one of their largest projects to date: a live performance with an orchestra at the Southbank Centre in London.
Worth spending a few minutes this weekend to read this essay in full.
Embedded evaluators might sound unusual in tech but it's pretty normal in other industries. Big banks have federal examiners with desks in the building and every nuclear plant in the US has inspectors who work on site full time. I think frontier AI labs should work the same way and this is a very practical first step.
@Elon_Orbit John Malkovich in Wild Horse Nine and Carrie Coon in The Liberation were both incredible. Fjord was great too. And of course, the Elizabeth Holmes doc!
as the timeline finally discovers Lance Oppenheim with PRIMETIME and YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING soon, I must urge you all to watch REN FAIRE on HBO Max. it's one of the most stylistically invigorating documentaries I've seen in years, and a brilliant parable of our present chaos.
Applications now open for the Claude student ambassador program!
Full year program, paid stipend, opportunities to work directly with the Anthropic team.
You have until September 12 to apply! Go go go 🏃 https://t.co/Hd7Ni7Y9iu
Fable 5.1 is out!
In this demo, Claude built an interactive model of the human brain from scratch. It sculpts every fold of the cortex in code, then follows one sentence, "Could you pass the salt?", as it moves through. Timings come from published EEG + MEG recordings.
These days being gay in tech is widely accepted. Hell, it's even a meme! But 2014 was a different world. There were no out CEOs, constant cruel gossip in the press, and it was still legal to fire someone for being gay in most states. Representation matters!
Re: Tim Cook's legacy. I was in high school when his coming-out essay ran in 2014. I vividly remember reading it and being surprised + relieved that there was a place for me in tech. I think he deserves much more credit for this.
A few @Caltech friends and I are hosting the first math hackathon with frontier labs/startups.
We're giving $1M+ of compute to 100 teams to solve the hardest open problems -- competitors range from IMO golds to frontier/neolab folks to math PhDs/profs.
DM me if your company wants to be involved :) we are launching soon.
We're working on a Model Hardware Standard Driver for Raspberry Pi cameras, and we've been impressed by what we've found in testing. We're looking forward to seeing what we discover as we explore MHS coverage for other Raspberry Pi products.
MHS is the most exciting thing in AI that I've seen this year! It's going to unlock so many cool opportunities across science, engineering, and even art.
Today, we're kicking off the first phase of the research preview for Model Hardware Standard (MHS): a new standard for AI agents to safely operate physical equipment in scientific research and advanced manufacturing.
