The headcount compression going on is insane.

[TDM (e/λ) (L8 vibe coder 💫) @cto_junior]

got my headcount request denied again

[John Carmack @ID_AA_Carmack]

If you are asking “Why push back against anti-datacenter efforts?” I consider it a tragedy that anti-nuclear efforts largely strangled nuclear power in the US based on vibes, and I don’t want to see that happen to AI. Public opinion matters, and it shouldn’t be ceded unchallenged.

If you are asking “Why should I support AI efforts at all?” I believe we are in the midst of a transition more vibrant than the industrial revolution. Opinions formed a couple of years ago about the uselessness of AI are no longer valid. Millions of people and organizations are getting great returns from using it, and the demand for data centers is the market responding to the value signal. That is how progress is made!

dario could've just denied any connection to the minab school children bombing, and left it at that

but instead, dario had to proactively put foot-in-mouth to say that bombing an elementary school doesn't actually violate anthropic's "red lines", and that they're only worried about things 100 times worse than the death of 120 children

on one hand, it is good that dario has some kind of rational framework for weighing human lives as a statistic to optimize for/against

on the other hand, it is completely tone-deaf

[yunc @yunc42]

@teortaxesTex Altman and Jensen do it very well. Most tech leaders with half a brain can… Dario is extremely naive.

@teortaxesTex CAISI playing 4D chess when it’s comes to AI safety….

@iamgingertrash What’s even the catalyst for the bubble pop , aren’t interest rates coming down?

some kind of supply constraints leading to demand destruction?

I ran low 4 figs to high 5 figs twice in crypto.

Cracked 6 figs finally from pivoting into stocks in 2024 with getting $rklb at the pick low thanks to @cyberprince_rwo

Dead inside at 24. I don’t know what rich even means anymore, I just click buttons for fun !

Composer 2.5 (standard) is a better bargain that Deepseek v4 lol

[Artificial Analysis @ArtificialAnlys]

Cursor's new Composer 2.5 takes third on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index and is ~10-60x lower cost than the higher-effort Opus 4.7 and GPT-5.5 variants above it. This release puts Composer among the leading coding agent models, something that wasn’t clear for past releases

@cursor_ai has released Composer 2.5, the latest model in its Composer line. Composer 2.5 scored 62 on our Coding Agent Index, a 14 point gain over Composer 2 (48). This puts it in third place of our tested agents, behind only Claude Opus 4.7 (max) in Claude Code (66) and GPT-5.5 (xhigh reasoning) in Codex (65). These cost $4.10 and $4.82 per task respectively, ~10x the cost of Composer 2.5 Fast ($0.44) and ~60x the cost of Composer 2.5 standard ($0.07).

Key results for Composer 2.5 in Cursor CLI:

➤ Cost-quality Pareto frontier: At $0.07 (standard) and $0.44 (Fast) per task, Composer 2.5 is cheaper than every other agent scoring above 60 on the Index. Medium-effort peers cost $1.24–$2.21 per task; higher-effort variants land 3-4 points above at $4.10–$4.82

➤ Per-benchmark gains vs Composer 2: +35 points on SWE-Bench-Pro-Hard-AA (12% → 47%), +2 points on Terminal-Bench v2 (64% → 66%), and +3 points on SWE-Atlas-QnA (69% → 72%). At 47%, Composer 2.5's score on SWE-Bench-Pro-Hard-AA is comparable to Claude Opus 4.7 (max) in Claude Code

➤ Among the fastest coding agents: Composer 2.5 Fast runs at an average wall time of 6.7 minutes per task, the third-fastest agent on the Artificial Analysis Coding Agent Index, behind only Claude Opus 4.7 (medium) in Claude Code (5.8m) and GPT-5.5 (medium) in Cursor CLI (6.2m)

➤ Fast mode enables better responsiveness at 6x pricing: Fast runs 30% faster than standard Composer 2.5, but is ~6x the cost per task ($0.44 vs $0.07). Token pricing is 6x higher for Fast: $3.00/$15.00 vs $0.50/$2.50 per million input/output tokens

Model details:

➤ Base model: Continued training on @Kimi_Moonshot's open weights Kimi K2.5 as with Composer 2, with Cursor reporting ~85% of total compute from its own additional training and reinforcement learning

➤ Pricing: $0.50/$2.50 per million input/output tokens for the standard variant; $3.00/$15.00 for the Fast variant (the default in Cursor)

➤ Available exclusively in Cursor: both Cursor IDE and Cursor CLI, an externally accessible API is not available

Congratulations @cursor_ai and @mntruell on the impressive release!

@0xdeadfee @dystopiangf The sheer amount of information I consume on a daily basis would make one mad

I hate bias creeping in to pollute the truth

And 99% of the time, the truth is less sinister than one thinks

@NVIDIAAI @0xSero 👀

[yunc @yunc42]

Definitely give @80000Hours pod a look if you like dwarkesh’s content. Decent content being covered here.

[yunc @yunc42]

They’ve been poaching ex consultants for their deployment engineer roles for a bit now from hiring trends/job listings I’ve seen , makes sense I guess.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We’ve also agreed to acquire Tomoro, which will bring 150 experienced Forward Deployed Engineers and Deployment Specialists to the OpenAI Deployment Company from day one.

[yunc @yunc42]

Start saving up for BCI operation now to escape the permanent underclass.

[Tanishq Mathew Abraham, Ph.D. @iScienceLuvr]

yes it will change...

in the future people will prefer to interact with AI via brain-computer interfaces

@bubbleboi There’s crypto dudes in korea stream 50x lev longs and go to sleep on stream lol.

[yunc @yunc42]

@full_kelly_ @sama Their demo for gpt realtime 2 still doesn’t have time tracking built in. The biggest unlock is the base model is smarter + it can pause.

[yunc @yunc42]

@JohnMementoMori @bubbleboi I saw defi literally go from under a billion in TVL to over a $180 billion in a year tbh.

$30 billion for RWA is nothing lol.
