@ranli_thinker We can know it's from AI because the video gives that, which means although they are getting better, they are not indistinguishable from humans. Although we'll get there
Holy shit. MIT just built an AI that can rewrite its own code to get smarter 🤯
It’s called SEAL (Self-Adapting Language Models).
Instead of humans fine-tuning it, SEAL reads new info, rewrites it in its own words, and runs gradient updates on itself literally performing self-directed learning.
The results?
✅ +40% boost in factual recall
✅ Outperforms GPT-4.1 using data it generated *itself*
✅ Learns new tasks without any human in the loop
LLMs that finetune themselves are no longer sci-fi.
We just entered the age of self-evolving models.

THIS chart is the CLEAREST signal of where the internet is heading.
social media time is SHRINKING for the first time in HISTORY, and young people are leading the pullback.
Brainrot is OUT.
they grew up online, saw the full cycle of social platforms, and learned early that endless scroll doesn’t make you happier or smarter.
they’re the LEADING indicator. their parents will follow in 3-5 years.
AI slop is the nail in the coffin.
every feed feels synthetic familiar faces, identical voices, recycled ideas. the “factory smell” of it all finally broke people’s curiosity.
but there’s an upside. every trend creates its anti-trend.
attention is shifting back to things that feel real, slow, and intentional.
people are paying for spaces that make them feel grounded, informed, and connected again.
the next $100M+ companies will engineer density, trust, and time well spent. they’ll build containers for meaning, then use AI to keep them organized, not optimized.
the internet’s oldest assumption that more engagement equals more value is breaking.
the white space i think is...
• "slow media" formats: weekly briefs, serialized content etc
• private groups that operate like clubs with applications and rituals
• provenance and identity layers that verify real creators and sources
• brands with offline gravity like real events, real belonging
• curated directories and vetted marketplaces
• paid memberships that deliver depth
• note: we share business ideas around this on @ideabrowser
• IRL anything - dinners, meetups, shared experiences
young people are abandoning social media faster than their parents are discovering it.
If you understand what that means, that's a big deal.
i can't stop thinking about this FT/GWI chart.
brainrot is OUT.
meaning is IN.
what's crazy about all of these top AI researchers making 10-100m dollars is that literally every single one of them is a Dota 2 player. like all of them. if you played Dota 2, there is a good chance that you were in a lobby with them or me
A wild hypothesis:
Average IQ of the world has been increasing every year and every generation do seem to be getting smarter in general; but #AI seem to be making people lazy and dumber so IQ might decline.
So we could be the smartest generation of human beings to ever exist.
1. Take more risks
Roy risked his future job as a programmer to stand up for something he believed in.
He saw mediocrity everywhere & decided enough was enough.
Yes, he may fail and never get hired again. But that's better than 40 years at a boring job while settling for second best.
The people we look up to take risks. It's so rare so we pay attention.
Roy isn't using engagement hacks to blow up online. He's taking real risks with consequences
