Today we’re announcing our Series B.

We’ve raised $200M at a $2B valuation from Greenoaks with participation from Index Ventures, Hanabi, A*, Bain Capital Ventures, CVS Health Ventures, and Definition.

Our mission is to simulate all eight billion people on earth, accurately.

the fastest way to attract what you deserve is to become completely unavailable to what you don’t

free will is one hell of a drug

Today, we’re introducing [schema]: a harness reaching 99% RHAE with Opus 4.8 + Fable 5 and 95.35% with GPT-5.6 Sol on ARC-AGI-3 Public set.

[schema] makes an LLM think like a physicist. 🧵

care about your own becoming with an intensity that would embarrass most people. that embarrassment is exactly why they never get anywhere. they are too self conscious to be caught wanting their own life this badly. let yourself be caught. there is nothing shameful about refusing to be lukewarm toward the only life you were given.

a human being is a battleground between higher nature and lower nature

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

learn to be bad at the thing for as long as it takes. the slow way. where you do it badly on a tuesday and again on a wednesday and again every day for three years. where you make a hundred things you would not show anyone. where you absorb the craft through your hands before your mind has any idea what is happening.

almost nobody stays in this room. the room of being bad is a room they cannot tolerate. they need the proof, the progress, the visible improvement - and the visible improvement does not come for a long time. it comes after enough mornings have passed that the badness has started to refine itself, quietly, without your supervision, into something else.

you have to fall in love with being bad at it.
nothing else will keep you in the room long enough.

so grateful to every human who ever put pen to paper and left their patterns for future generations

@andotvu problem is defining human welfare in a way where those benchmarks don’t get saturated by wireheading

[thomas @thomazvu]

how is nearly solved, but what and why are much harder

[thomas @thomazvu]

why > what > how
