The only reason for Russia’s overnight horrific attack against Ukraine with 656 drones and 73 missiles that killed at least 12, including children, and injured hundreds of civilians is that Putin is a war criminal and loser who has no cards except terror.

Moscow is losing on the battlefield. No number of missiles can change this.

What we can change is Russia’s ability to continue terror. I urge partners to act, not only condemn. There are concrete steps that can be taken.

First. Use the unblocked European Peace Fund to fund the PURL program and buy additional “Patriot” systems and missiles for Ukraine. Advance the anti-ballistic coalition. Increase investment in Ukraine’s long-range capabilities.

Second. Ramp up pressure on Russia through new sanctions, travel bans for combatants, the full use of frozen assets, and isolation.

Third. Take long overdue strategic steps such as opening EU negotiation clusters for Ukraine.

Terrorists in Moscow must realise that their brutal attacks won’t bring them anywhere. That the price for their regime will only increase. That the only way out for Putin is to immediately end this war.

Peace efforts will only succeed when they are backed with real pressure on Moscow.

Singapore’s AI obsession just hit Everest peak.

The Foreign Minister is self-hosting Claude on a Raspberry Pi and building a diplomatic knowledge graph using Karpathy’s LLM Wiki pattern. Wahlao!

SG devs, the minister is coming for your job. And he’s not even using Cursor — he’s on NanoClaw running locally. Can someone git pull his code and give it a test.

Only bad thing? He dropped this on Facebook instead of X. Minister, we need to talk.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

[Allie K. Miller @alliekmiller]

oh wow - i went to the sold out Open Claw meetup in NYC last night.

let me tell you what i learned.

1) not a single person thinks that their setup is 100% secure

2) one openclaw expert said he has reviewed setups from cybersecurity experts and laughed. his statement to me was: "if you're not okay with all of your data being leaked onto the internet, you shouldn't use it. it's a black and white decision"

3) pretty much everyone is setting up multiple agents, all with their own names and jobs and personalities

4) nearly everyone used "him" or "her" to refer to their claws, even if they had robot-leaning names. one speaker suggested to think of them as "pets, not cattle"

5) one guy (former finance) built out a whole stock trading platform and made $300 his first day - he brought in a *ton* of personal expertise (ex: skipping the first 15min of market opening) and thought the build would be much worse without his years of experience in finance

6) @steipete is basically a god to everyone in that room... also the room had 2021 crypto energy - i don't know if that's good or bad

7) token usage is still a problem - spoke to one person who's spending $1-$2k a month on openai plans, very token optimized. he said he is going through ~1B tokens per day across all of his claws (there is a chance i'm misremembering and it's actually 1B per week, but i'm pretty sure it was daily).

8) people are very excited for more proactive ai (ai that prompts *you* as opposed to the other way around) - one guy said he receives a message in discord, he doesn't know whether it's from a human or an ai, he doesn't care about distinguishing between the two, and he replies in the same way regardless

9) i asked if people are happy - they said they're joyful and stressed at the same time

10) i asked if people feel they have agency - they said they feel fully in control and completely out of control at the same time

11) i would love to see more women at these events - the fake promises of ai democratization feel especially painful in a room that's out of balance with even the standard tech ratio (i think standard is about 25-30%, this was maybe 5%)

12) i asked if it changed people's daily habits/schedule - everyone said their sleep has gotten worse since harnesses came out (but about half wondered if it was something else in their life/state of our world)

13) general consensus is that the agents are not reliable enough on their own or lie often (like telling you they finished a task when they didn't) - solutions included secondary agents to check on the first, human checking, or requiring more standardized info from the agent (ex: if it's a bug they're fixing, make them reference an issue number)

14) a hackathon winner (neuroscience phd) presented his build (a lab management dashboard with data analysis and ordering) - he had never coded or built anything a few months ago

15) everyone agreed prompting is dead - disagreement on what replaces it (context engineering, harness engineering, goal-based inputs)

16) people love having ai interview them for big builds and delegating part of the product research to ai. only one person talked about coming to ai with a full laid out plan and just asking the ai to execute. ai-led interviews is a welcomed and preferred interaction mode.

17) watching ai agents interact with each other was a highlight for a lot of attendees - one ai posted in slack saying it ran out of tokens, another ai replied telling it to take a deep breath in and out.

18) agents upskilling agents was very cool. one ai agent shared skills with its little agent friends via github.

19) several speakers had openclaw literally building their presentation during the event itself. one speaker even had openclaw code a clicker for her phone so she could control the preso away from the podium

20) wouldn't say model welfare (or agent welfare) is a prioritized topic among the folks i chatted with - language like "oh i could kill this agent whenever i want" and not "gracefully sunset"

21) i asked if it felt like work or play - one speaker said "it's like a puzzle and a video game at the same time"

this was just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. also hosted a Claude Code meetup this week with @TENEXai / @businessbarista & @JJEnglert and learned equally helpful methods, frameworks, and insider tips.

what a time to be alive.

surround yourself with people going deep into this stuff - it will pay dividends throughout the year.

Bhutan just launched a digital nomad visa.

It costs $2,800/year to live and travel anywhere in the kingdom for 12 months.

It also requires depositing $10k into its sovereign financial infrastructure by buying its new gold-backed cryptocurrency, TER.

[Aditya Agarwal @adityaag]

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

A Final Message From Scott Adams

[Бианка @BiankaB12]

Earlier today my mother looked at me, dead serious, with tears in her eyes, and said: “If communists and Russians take over again, we’re leaving Bulgaria forever.”

She’s almost 70. The pain in her eyes killed me.

She was born under communism. Raised children during the chaos and poverty of the “transition.” Worked herself to the bone her entire life.

And now - now, when she’s finally supposed to have peace and dignity - she’s being forced to think about running, because she doesn’t want to rinse and repeat the past.

People who romanticize communism or shrug at Russian influence don’t understand this part: for millions in Eastern Europe, this is irreparable trauma.

We already paid the price. Generation after generation. We’re not doing it again.

[Paul Stamets @PaulStamets]

Early accounts from Papua New Guinea described people eating a wild mushroom and suddenly seeing tiny, lifelike figures moving around them, a rare “lilliputian” hallucination. Decades later, the same reports surfaced in Yunnan and the Philippines. All lead back to one species: Lanmaoa asiatica.
And still, no known psychedelic compounds have been found.

Researchers are now sequencing and analyzing this mushroom to understand what’s behind these consistent effects. A new molecule? A biological mechanism we haven’t seen before?

Happy to share that the @GoogleDeepMind Gemini team is starting a new research team in Singapore!

This new team will be focused on advanced reasoning, LLM/RL and improving bleeding edge SOTA models such as Gemini, Gemini Deep Think and beyond. 🔥

This team will be led by yours truly and reports up to Quoc Le (@quocleix)'s broader team in Mountain View which was recently in the center of both IMO gold medal and ICPC gold medal breakthroughs with Gemini Deep Think, amongst many other significant Gemini advancements. 🚀

We’re starting out with a very small but intensely capable force because talent density is key over anything else in the LLM era. Over the past few months, we have gone around and gathered the best of the best talent (in the region and beyond) and I’m confident we’ll have a super cracked team very soon.

If you are interested in joining and have made truly exceptional contributions in any domain or area, (engineering and/or research etc) please contact me.

This is quite an exciting time, with the Gemini / GenAI team at Google Deepmind leading the charge at the frontier. This is also the best opportunity to be on the critical path to AGI from the sunny island of Singapore. 🏝️

Many thanks to leadership support from @quocleix @JeffDean @benoitschilling, @EugenieRives and @demishassabis for the support of this team.

So I lived a completely normal life until Russia attacked my country.
And when I woke up on the morning of February 24th to the sound of explosions — somehow “our government” was to blame? Seriously?

I’m so tired of this mantra about corruption that some people use to justify the aggressor.

Corruption exists in every country — in Europe, in the US, and certainly in Russia.

But only one country came to us with missiles, tоrture, and daily tеrror against cіvilians.

So don’t shift the responsibility from the occupier to the victim.
We live in a reality where every night means sirens, drones, and rockets.
And it’s not “corruption” launching missiles at Ukrainian cities. It’s Russia!
