Sad about this - we were desperate to have capable rivals at Mindmax but I guess we’ll just have to go it alone now the great Karpathy had revised himself from the amplification of human minds (for now)

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Our Japan team is scaling fast, now in production programs with @NissanMotor across consumer vehicles and robotaxis

Japan is emerging as a major market for embodied AI. We’re just getting started

I was in Tokyo today to host AI Open Day - we're hiring! 🇯🇵

@ninkibah Lots of rumination time !

@fabianstelzer @tedcooke “You’re not cooked, you’re the chef now” is a tremendous line.

BONUS ad! Here I had @heyglif try and prompt a single Seedance 2.0 clip using everything it knows about Seedance and provided it with our logo

Besides videos, Glif expertly prompts all available image models, let's you generate music, memes, add subtitles, upscale images, create SVGs, create Remotion videos - and we're adding new incredible tools daily.

I'll stop here. Time to create your own at https://t.co/GVc2KGouz6!

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Launch video 5 is "COOKED", a play on our original script for the first one, just totally different setting and vibe.

here, I told @heyglif to exclusively use Kling O3's incredible transitions throughout the entire video, with stills generated by GPT Image 2 and Gemini, ElevenLabs for voiceover.

Again, all of these are created in single chat sessions at https://t.co/GVc2KGouz6 !

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Launch video 4 is "THE INTERVIEWS". extreeemely cheesy but funny.

We asked @heyglif for a bunch of portraits of people on black background, and iterated with it on the script. It animated them with a mix of Veo and Kling.

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Launch video 3 is using @heyglif 's AI INFLUENCER skills: an influencer at a whiteboard explaining Glif with a fitting scribble in each scene

Glif used GPT 2 images for the stills, Kling o3 for the videos and added subtitles and music

Create your own at https://t.co/GVc2KGouz6 - just tell it you want to create an influencer video:

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Glif makes any type of AI video creation extremely easy, fun, inspiring, and fast: so I just made 5 more launch videos over the last 24h:

#2: an anime brief given to @heyglif: IT'S TIME TO VIBE

Glif used the new GPT Image 2, Gemini 3.1, Seedance 2.0 and Google's new incredible TTS for the protagonist's voice

this one's my 8yo's favorite- "first good AI thing you've made" 😅

Using this tool is the closest I've come to a chatgpt moment

You can see that we'll all soon be making epic movies using the powers of our imagination !

[fabian @fabianstelzer]

Had a lot of fun talking with @zubymusic on his real talk podcast

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

Do you struggle to remember people's names, numbers, and birthdays?

Most of us do.

I had a chat with one of the world's top memory experts @tedcooke to find out why this happens and how you can improve it.

This week on the Real Talk with Zuby podcast.

[Ed Cooke @tedcooke]

@fabianstelzer @bensig fun branding !

[Ed Cooke @tedcooke]

Today we made the difficult decision to pivot Mindmax away from human beings.

Our mission was to nurture a million human geniuses, but we now believe that a more lucrative opportunity exists as a learning platform for AIs.

[Ed Cooke @tedcooke]

Finally !

[Sam K @sam_kececi]

We raised $6.5m to build humanity’s platform for uploaded consciousness.

Sentience creates one unique model for every person — a digital twin of your mind — to remember everything, recall what matters, and operate as you.

I started this company because I am worried. For the first time, we have intelligence that will fully replace humans across a range of domains within a few years.

For those outside of the tech echo chamber, this is a period wrought with confusion and uncertainty about what actually matters anymore. I’ve had numerous conversations with people who aren’t sure if they have any value as a unique human being, or whether their own thinking matters. While Silicon Valley goes full speed ahead towards AGI, many people are left wondering what place they have in this AI future.

If I can communicate one thing to everyone out there with these doubts, it would be this: your unique knowledge, memories, and who you are still matter. In fact, these things matter now more than ever.

The problem is that the course of AI is heading towards a world where all of us will outsource our thinking to the same one-size-fits-all AI models. This is not a hypothetical future. If 100,000 people ask a question to ChatGPT, every single person gets the same answer. You can see the cost of uniform AI models across writing, social media, and even academic papers. This uniformity is more than annoying – it’s dangerous.

There’s a genuine chance that we lose the texture and vibrancy that makes us unique as a species.

I founded The Sentience Company to arm real humans against this dystopian outcome.

First, your Sentience lets you collect everything that holds context from your life, learning from what you do across every platform – starting on desktop and mobile. Never forget a detail again.

Second, your Sentience becomes the best recall engine for everything in your life. Never copy/paste context or search across 50 chrome tabs again.

Finally, your Sentience becomes the full simulation of you – an AI model that thinks and acts like you, to scale and share your unique ideas and interact with others. Your Sentience emulates more than your context. It understands your values, emotions, drive, and goals.

We’re creating a world where you can leverage your own Sentience model alongside the models of your colleagues and friends to jam on ideas and access their knowledge 24/7.

We’re not building Sentience to scale AGI and replace more human thinking. We’re building Sentience to scale you.

We’re proud that many amazing humans are supporting our mission. Our round was led by @kevinzhang (@BainCapVC), with participation from @ditzikow, @adityaag, @evantana, @AgrawalArian, @gopalkraman, @JPBrebner (@southpkcommons), @rex_woodbury, @tmrohan, @soleio, @anniecase1, and many more.

Claude Code is best in —dangerously-skip-permissions mode, but do you really want to let Anthropic read anything on your computer?

Soft launched The British Cræft Prize last night.

This new £60,000 prize is a quest to spark maverick technologist-craftmen to fuse cutting edge technologies of the future with the deep wisdom of the heritage crafts of the past. Link below.

[Ed Cooke @tedcooke]

Very excited to see where this goes.

In my book, the great AI researcher of the last 15 years, the mind behind most of Deepmind's triumphs.

Awesome (and oh so British) company name too: "ineffable intelligence" !

[etn. @etnshow]

BREAKING: Sequoia (@sequoia) leading the largest European seed round of all time with $1B at $4B valuation.

David Silver, one of Britain’s top AI researchers, left Google DeepMind late last year to launch the London-based start-up Ineffable Intelligence.

He aims to build “superhuman intelligence”.

Sequoia partners Alfred Lin and Sonya Huang flew to London to visit Silver after his departure, who is also a professor at University College London.
