I’ll unhygienically help you with your startup.

Since February, I've designed and built the world's fastest RC airplane in my college dorm, and that’s not clickbait. Reaper has a 5kg carbon-fiber frame, 250N turbojet, and flies at 500mph. New to X and will be going through the whole build here in the coming days.

claude fable 5 can scrape thousands of sold homes and finds the patios with zero shade in 100°+ heat. then it mails the owner a postcard with the fix rendered into their own backyard

here's the system you can sell to contractors:

- scrapes every home sold in the metro in the last 12 months (recent buyers spend the most)
- vision-reads the listing photos, skips the 64% with cover already
- measures the sun on each patio, hour by hour, off google's satellite data
- renders a louvered pergola into the owner's actual backyard photo
- prints the diagnosis on the postcard: "your patio takes 11 hours of direct sun a day. saturday it hits 97°."
- QR opens a heat report for their exact address with a booking link

every install is $6.5k to $18k, one close covers months of retainers and homes sell every single day.

reply "SYSTEM" + RT and i'll send you a free guide so you can build this too (must be following so i can DM you)

@readswithravi Cements reality really well to read a book in its physical form

@paulg Today’s a good day to raise capital!

"it takes hard work to achieve anything great" is a dangerous lie. great output comes from finding an activity that feels as natural as breathing or walking and great work becomes the very substance of your existence. if it feels like a grind you've found the wrong expression

It seems that I live in a proactive world, but proactive in the wrong ways.

@paulg @garrytan It seems heretical to say that the divine is both my hater and my stalker, so I’ll chalk up my circumstances to something else 🤣

@0xJokker This chip has been around for over a year. Why did she present it just now?

[Rishi P Sachdev @rishi__sachdev]

I still recall before weed was fully decriminalized federally but after medical usage was allowed, in 2018, I was hired with an amazing multi-generational equity package at Coinbase, which strictly prohibited weed usage. I proceeded to eat some weed gummies on the job, eventually being laid off two weeks later 🙃

[How To Prompt @HowToPrompt__]

Yann Lecun published the most heretical AI paper of the year.

He opens by arguing Magnus Carlsen isn't good at chess and only gets more unhinged from there.

The Turing Award winner and his co-authors dropped a paper demanding the AI industry abandon its biggest obsession, AGI.

Right now, everyone from Silicon Valley CEOs to politicians assumes AGI is the ultimate goal. A machine that can do everything a human can do.

LeCun argues that this entire concept is a biological illusion.

Humans do not possess "general" intelligence. We are highly specialized biological machines, tuned by evolution simply to survive in the physical world.

We only think our intelligence is "general" because we are completely blind to the millions of cognitive tasks we are incapable of comprehending.

Which brings us to the chess argument.

Magnus Carlsen is the greatest human chess player in history. But compared to a modern computer? He is fundamentally terrible.

Our belief that Carlsen is "good" at chess is pure human-centric bias. He isn't objectively good. He's just better than the rest of us, who are biologically awful at it.

LeCun says we need to stop building AI to mimic human generality.

Instead, he proposes a new North Star: SAI.

Superhuman Adaptable Intelligence.

Instead of trying to build a machine that mimics our flawed, biologically-limited brains, we need to embrace extreme specialization.

SAI is about the speed of adaptation.

It is an intelligence that can learn to exceed humans at any specific, economically important task.

More importantly, it is designed to fill the vast skill gaps where humans are fundamentally incapable.

Things like managing global energy grids in real-time. Or predicting complex molecular structures.

The entire AI industry is obsessed with building a digital reflection in our own image.

LeCun's paper is a brutal wake-up call.
