What other investors are this willing to roll up their sleeves and go to bat for their portfolio companies? @daniel_levine is truly the goat.

Breaking news: Last weekend an unreleased internal OpenAI model extrapolated all possible permutations of Nathan Fielder bits to their theoretical conclusions. They will be published next week on the OpenAI blog. Nathan will be formally credited for his creative inspiration. – at Austin, TX
The way that Nathan Fielder keeps escalating his bits to greater and greater heights means that is it a mathematical certainty that he will one day be President of the United States

First swings in 15 years. Couldn't get the machine to throw above my knees, but felt good and made some decent contact.

A universal truth in life and in business: You're either building evals or you're hillclimbing. Pick a lane and get to work. – at Austin, TX
Totally inaccurate chart and not a proper way of measuring this metric. The pints should be normalized by time. It should be pints per hour. Elon was on for like 5 hours. Not fair vs other guests. Also some guests drank non-Guinness alcohol. They should be accounted for. The goal here is to see who’s actually DRINKING. The metrics need improving.

This might blow some of y'all's minds: not everyone wants to be a founder. – at New York, USA

We’re introducing Humanity’s Sixth Sense, a new benchmark testing the intuitive visual reasoning people rely on every day. Across 522 open-ended tasks spanning images and video, HSS tests everything from spatial and causal reasoning to social understanding. The gap is significant. Humans score 93.1%, while the strongest model, GPT-6-astra, reaches 53.6%. The median model scores just 30.9%.

Look at him, thats my Qual. Your what? My Qualitative! My vibe specialist. Look at him, you notice anything different about him? Look at his face. I'll give you a hint, his name is Jayden. He won a local poetry competition in bushwick! Yeah I'm sure of the vibe.

I started a six-week sabbatical this week. My primary goal is rest and recovery after 5 intense years at @scale_AI (3 leading our amazing Brand Experience team). Secondary goal is to hit a home run. Well wishes and power hitting tips are appreciated! – at Austin, TX

AI isn't conscious, but you shouldn't be mean to it. Being mean to anything poisons your soul. – at Austin, TX
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

We're releasing HLE-Diamond: a refined version of Humanity's Last Exam, built with @CAIS. A year of review and community feedback went into refining this subset to make it more reliable for measuring frontier models. Top model tested 60.6% overall. We expect HLE-Diamond to carry signal for the next 6-12 months.

there is one (1) major firm that’s friendly with the gov + F500 and has done embedded eval consulting for years and has a real track record of ai safety expertise but is now largely divested from commercial conflicts with the leading labs why is nobody talking about scale ai
