Every news story follows a predictable decay function- it peaks, then is soon forgotten. That is, every story except one: Israel. I analyzed 14.7 million news articles in 65 languages, cable news airtime, and social media data from X. The results were staggering. 🧵
@immutbl you're doing incredible work (literally incredible - hard to believe, yet true) exposing this.
attention directing is as important as truth and trust, but receives, ironically, little attantion.
BREAKING: Marc Andreessen just drew the clearest line in the AI policy war anyone has drawn yet.
His position: let big AI labs build as fast and aggressively as they want.
But zero regulatory capture.
Zero government-protected cartels.
Zero moats built through lobbying instead of shipping.
This is a direct shot at the OpenAI/Anthropic playbook of pushing for regulation that conveniently advantages incumbents.
pmarca is saying: compete or die, but don't rig the arena.
The most important AI policy debate of the decade just got a very loud voice.
Is he right, or does frontier AI actually need some guardrails to prevent catastrophic races to the bottom?
Hi Astra users. A reset and a quick update on quality issues that have been posted around.
Working with some of you, we have found and fixed the following issues:
- Some skills written for previous models were triggering too often or preventing the model from checking its work.
- An opt-in context management experiment that could cause early stops or replies to older messages. We've disabled it. Our rough estimate is that 4-5k users were affected by this experiment.
- We've also removed some badly configured engines that resulted in a measured quality degradation for a long tail of traffic flowing through them.
We’ve also made some more minor improvements and things should feel significantly better across the board. More consistent follow-through, better tracking of your latest message, and better checks on the work as it’s going through the motions.
The examples posted and all the users who worked directly with us were incredibly useful in helping fix things quickly. Always grateful for this incredible community.
And of course, a reset is also landing by midnight today.
