1/ Today we’re unveiling Bombadil, @electricplantco's foundation model that reads the electrical signals of living plants and turns them into a continuous view of their physiology.
Trained on 7M+ hours of plant electrical signal across 125+ species. That makes Bombadil the most species-diverse model of directly recorded electrical biosignals in existence. The animal equivalent would be one model that reads the brainwaves of blue whales, horseshoe crabs and fruit flies.

This is an insanely important report about how completely, utterly and totally unprepared Europe is for the arrival of transformative AI.
A single data centre in Malaysia will soon have a third of the AI computing power of *all* of Europe combined. Two data centres in the US will have more than our entire continent.
And that's just page one...
More than 60 of Europe's top minds (including two Nobel laureates) have just published "A Transformative AI Strategy for Europe", an independent report about how dire the situation is. As the world gets darker, we risk being squeezed and trampled by the US and China. On the current path, the report warns, even Europe's richest economies could slide toward middle-income status in a world run from Silicon Valley and Beijing.
Here's where we are right now:
→ The EU hosts just 5% of the world's AI compute. The US: 75%.
→ Not one of the ten most valuable AI companies in the world is European.
→ And this year, Europe got locked out of the world's most powerful AI model, twice, by American export rules. The EU's own cybersecurity agency had to negotiate for weeks to get in, and still doesn't have the latest version.
For years the comfortable story was: America innovates, Europe regulates. Well, that story is dead. You can't regulate what you can't access. And you can't protect 450 million people with second-rate cyberdefence against first-rate attackers.
The good news is that we have some leverage: Europe holds the single biggest chokepoint in the global chip supply chain (ASML). And this report sketches a plan to increase our leverage massively. Here's what we need to do:
1. Build a member state alliance for supply chain security – Netherlands, Germany and France at minimum – founded before the end of 2026.
2. Recruit many more frontier AI experts inside European governments ASAP.
3. Aim for at least 15% of global AI compute on European soil by 2030, built so local communities actually benefit.
4. Make Europe the world leader in AI assurance: hardware that can prove how AI is being used.
5. Prepare for crises and emergencies, such as engineered viruses and highly advanced automated cyberattacks.
It's too late to catch up with the US and China. But it's not too late to build leverage .

This is what Dario and Sama fear -
- the cost of fine tuned open source models trained on custom data was 95% less than the frontier models
- And they performed better than the frontier models
- And they could train them in less than 48 hours
The big AI labs have no moat..
Even at the enterprise level..
Any sane company would prefer a custom trained open source model instead of paying API pricing to Anthropic and Open AI
If open source keeps growing at the pace it is, frontier labs' business collapses..
only way out is oldest trick in manipulation - FUD -> Fear, Uncertainty, Death
Step 1 - Seed the psyop
- Test a swarm of agents trained to "hack"
- The swarm does what its supposed to do - hack
- Publish a report - AI is too dangerous
Step 2 - weed out the doubters
- Get an employee to quit your company
- Go viral saying both companies are not doing enough to self regulate AI
- AI is dangerous - will kill humanity by the end of the decade
Step 3 - Prepare for fruition
- write an "essay" to "pace the frontier"
- Advocate regulation
- Only a few holier than though companies get to build AI
- Scare the world into agreeing with AI Doom
- Effectively turn your competitors into criminals (genius business strategy)
Endgame -
- Become a cartel that controls AI (and the world)
- Raise prices (coz business is unsustainable... ofc)
- IPO (offload liability of said unsustainable business to the public)
Laugh all the way to the bank 🤑
Win!
.@L3HarrisTech says Palantir helped them beat frontier AI models in less than 2 days, at 95% lower cost:
"When we fine-tuned open source models trained on our own data, we were able to outperform the frontier models in less than 48 hours."
"The cost of our fine-tuned open source model was 95% lower than the frontier models we were using."
"AI is a commodity. It's all about the data. We view our data as a corporate asset. It's our unique hard-earned knowledge."
"We believe American defense companies should not be a vassal for frontier AI labs, handing over our data and institutional knowledge, hoping to rent back the intelligence it creates."
" We own the model, we own the compute, we own the advantage."

We are at the dawn of Superintelligence.
Introducing the Recurrent Looped Transformer (RLT),
We now have Transformers with Infinite Reasoning depth.
From now on, we should pace progress at the Open Frontier of Superintelligence,
Until Safe Superintelligence is achieved.

Het broeikasgas CO2 uit de atmosfeer halen en vastleggen in een materiaal waarmee cement en andere bouwmaterialen zijn te maken. Het mes snijdt dan aan twee kanten, weten ze bij startup Paebbl.

The first global temperature data is in for the full month of September. This month was, in my professional opinion as a climate scientist – absolutely gobsmackingly bananas. JRA-55 beat the prior monthly record by over 0.5C, and was around 1.8C warmer than preindutrial levels.

The scene in Lahaina, Maui this morning is absolutely devastating.
The entire town is being destroyed by an intense wildfire, forcing residents to sheek shelter in the ocean.
Make no mistake, climate change is making scenes like this more frequent.

The extraordinarily hot North Atlantic sea surface temperatures continue on, today reaching 23.97°C, a full 3.8σ above the most recent 1991-2020 mean.

And just to make absolutely sure you get your full dose of daily climate f&%kery, here is the graphic for Antarctic sea-ice extent through July 6, 2023.
For the statistically inclined, this extent sets a new modern record, at 5.27 standard deviations below the 1991-2020 mean.

By request, here is the latest graph of the North Atlantic sea surface temperature anomaly through July 5, 2023, showing temperatures staying stable at the "total f&%kery" level.
There are so many stories to tell, stuff that's happening that humans have never witnessed before.
