@_Chemist1 Character is revealed most clearly by what pain turns you into.

@danywander now I know why I always had a hard time saying this company's name lol

[EleutherAI @AiEleuther]

The Summer of AI Research 2026 is now accepting applications! Work on an open science AI research project between July 13 and August 16. In this fully online event we invite people with little research experience to contribute to open source under the mentorship of experienced researchers.

Why this matters: For world models to become useful in Physical AI applications, they need to be not only visually compelling, but also interpretable and controllable in how they represent physical dynamics.

Reminder to self ...

[Reads with Ravi @readswithravi]

I get blown away every time I read this paragraph by Carl Jung:

To love someone else is easy, but to love what you are, the thing that is yourself, is just as if you were embracing a glowing red-hot iron: it burns into you and that is very painful. Therefore, to love somebody else in the first place is always an escape which we all hope for, and we all enjoy it when we are capable of it. But in the long run, it comes back on us. You cannot stay away from yourself forever, you have to return, have to come to that experiment, to know whether you really can love. That is the question-whether you can love yourself, and that will be the test.

@poolsideai @PrimeIntellect sad this is not in SF

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

that's why I stop working when it feels like grind LOL

[Adam Shuaib @adamshuaib]

You can grind your way to the top 10% of most fields. The top 0.1% works differently: it's reserved for people who've found the work so absorbing they've stopped noticing the grind at all.

Edison's assistants said he genuinely couldn't understand why his employees got tired. He'd hammer at a problem for thirty hours, look up confused that everyone else had gone home, and assume they were ill. Tesla regularly forgot to eat. Marie Curie, working in a freezing shed with radioactive material, wrote that "work made the Earth a paradise for me".

This is misread constantly. People assume these figures had superhuman willpower. They did not. They had a totally different relationship with effort; the effort in itself was the reward. Forcing yourself to work hard is exhausting. Not being able to stop is something else entirely.

The market doesn't reward people who push themselves the hardest. It rewards the people who don't experience it as pushing at all.

@erenbali Who will pay for this?

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

@KyleVedder Working on this for physical ai specifically

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

@drgurner @NathanJRobinson a.k.a. why everyone needs healing ❤️‍🩹

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

@alex_whedon Amazing. Curious how it performs if we end up building a VLM. Requested access. Look forward to the tech report.

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

@taiuti Nah it’s hot and yellow yuk

[Nahid Alam @ CVPR @nahidalam]

We sleep in batches, wake up every 2-3 hours to babysit loss curves 😴

[Arnie Ramesh @arnie_hacker]

Are ML researchers constantly sleep deprived because they're trying to submit all their jobs before they sleep
