@AnthropicAI tweets saying " Fable just did ... blah " .. this model will be extinct in the next 6 months!!
@OpenAI and @xai under a lot of pressure to one up this.
@aipulseda1ly@thegreatest_sv Thanks for sharing this. wow! 895M tokens and $1200 for this. Nice to read about cached read rates. What is your typical monthly invoice for all things AI?
@danshipper Hey @RattrayAlex, congratulations on the takeover and thanks for this, so if you have an MCP with more than a dozen tools, a better way is to go for a capability-aware operation registry?
Landmark verdict: Meta and YouTube held liable for "engineered addiction"! While Snapchat and TikTok settled, the trial exposed how Big Tech uses "digital dopamine" to hook our kids.

AI agents will be a big part of how we shop in the not-so-distant future.
To help lay the groundwork, we partnered with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target and Walmart to create the Universal Commerce Protocol, a new open standard for agents and systems to talk to each other across every step of the shopping journey.
And coming soon, UCP will power native checkout so you can buy directly on AI Mode and the @Geminiapp.
@james_y_zou@NatureMedicine Good working! Congrats on the publication. Can you talk more about the computer resources used and if possible a full link to the paper?
The Mpemba effect is a surprising phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.
What does it mean?
If you take:
one container with hot water
another with cold water
...and put both in a freezer, the hot water can sometimes freeze first.

I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
This morning at NeurIPS, Rich Sutton reminded us that we need continual learning to reach AGI. This afternoon, Ali Behrouz presented a Google poster paper, Nested Learning, which provides new ideas on the path to continual learning.
I recorded the 40 minute talk as it might be useful for some researchers in the audience.
For the rest of us, I subscribe to Andrej Karpathy's suspicion that it will take a 5-10 papers like this to move us to AGI from where we are now, just like it took about 10 papers to move from 2012's AlexNet to ChatGPT.
At the very end, I ask Ali how far along to continual learning this represents. Full paper link below, as well as a YouTube link.
ps. sorry about the first 2 minutes of bad audio since there were 2 idiots standing beside me have a conversation right in front of this presenter in a rather packed poster presentation. Honestly, tamp down your egos guys and show come common courtesy!
