Super excited that we can finally share something we’ve been working on alongside @nvidia.

@runwayml has co-founded the Cosmos Coalition alongside NVIDIA and other leading companies/labs. We believe open source World Models are the transformational step function in bringing the power of AI to hard problems such as in robotics and physical AI.

Read more about the coalition below.

We successfully predicted emotion from brain activity, achieving >2x performance to the previous state of the art.

Alljoined collected a dataset of 3,408 videos paired with EEG data across 24 participants, covering happy, sad, fear, anger, disgust, and neutral emotion.

Water is a chemical compound made of two elements:
Hydrogen & Oxygen so we are excited about Compounds' @mackenziejem deep dive ( pun) and to learn from and help the top early innovators.

New Post ht @0xsmac
Water's assumed to be an inherently scarce resource, something to fight over, ration and to reject economic growth for. Yet desal is within a stone's throw of price competitiveness with surface water

Creative new solutions are on the way + new bisiness models

(New Essay) On Humanity & Human Beings

How close are we to AGI?
Is the current model already training the next one?
Do all models converge?
Where does the energy come from?
What are the other bottlenecks?
Is China actually behind?
Are we already at war?
Is cancer actually solved?
Are humanoids real?
Is it a bubble?
Will we nationalize the labs?
Could we even?
What happens to college?
Universal basic income?
Should I sell my AI exposure?
Should I buy a doomsday compound?
Should I just sell to a lab?
Why can’t I sleep?
Will I still have a job?
What should I tell my kids to study?
Should I have a kid?
When was the last time you had a conversation that was not about this?
Is this a religion?
Do we really think we’re building a new god?
Will I be okay?
Will any of us?

@mhdempsey @Sethwinterroth Thanks for letting me tag along....

A lot of what we do at Compound is modeling the branches of futures we believe in.

A portion is framing questions & taking each side to understand how these branches can progress over time.

This piece by @shelbynewsad is a glimpse into this process via some questions in bio today.

I just finished watching a number of truly excellent short AI films in the @runwayml AI film festival, and I am honestly blown away by the level of quality. If this crop of creative filmmakers is any barometer of where things are going, buckle up because cinema is leaping ahead.

[Cristóbal Valenzuela @c_valenzuelab]

Time to accelerate. The inflection point is here.

[Edward Larkin @ealarkin7]

Thrilled to have the @shelbynewsad, @mhdempsey, and the @CompoundVC team onboard at @Valius_Sciences.

9 if:
- you are a researcher who can focus on science + technology change and connect ideas across private and public markets

- want to be an investor in deep tech areas (non-bio/crypto)

my hope is that every person who joins Compound never works anywhere again and becomes an owner.

DM me if you're interested.

@oliverbrocato I don't agree that nobody supports genocide . Oct 7 was a failed attempt...

Dear @TomSteyer,
You and your friends at the DNC have sadly lost your way.
In a political system awash in money from billionaires, super PACs, and foreign governments, a resolution that singles out @AIPAC alone is just a moral tell.
(Also, you are a hypocrite.)
Let me explain:
