Living in the future!
Was watching @MostlyTechPod in a cybercab, @IanLandsman brought up @AmpCode, realized I should be orbin’ instead
There’s no general web browser in a cab, so I left a comment on YouTube with the amp url which let me open it
It’s orbin’ time

We are growing faster than ever 📈
A year ago we started expanding outside of Texas. Today @basepowerco is in three states, with several more coming soon. Every new market brings a new utility, new permitting rules, and new homeowners to win.
We’re about to see levels of fraud and corporate sabotage that were unimaginable a few years ago.
Example: want to slow down your competitor? DDoS their recruiting team with thousands of AI candidates like this.
Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test.
48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video.
It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 48% figure and "video Turing test" claim are from Tavus's own study of 54 one-minute calls, not independently verified or using a standard protocol. Griffin-Lite leads NVIDIA's VideoFDB benchmark on their public leaderboard.

The fed saw this and immediately raised rates
Instinct is in talks to raise about $1 billion at a roughly $10 billion valuation, less than a month after raising $250 million at a $2.25 billion pre-money valuation.
The 23-year-old founder Noah Shinn is building a personal AI agent that can operate software and complete tasks like answering emails, negotiating bills and booking reservations.
Instinct now has more than 100,000 users and has already run into compute capacity constraints as demand grows.
Its valuation has gone from roughly $50 million in the spring to $10 billion under discussion today.

AI needs compute. Compute needs power. We raised $120M, led by Spark Capital, to build massive infrastructure and pave the path to AGI with off-grid, renewable-energy campuses for data centers.

Ya this isn’t going to help us build more data centers man
The precedent that this case will set will cement the direction that western culture has been moving in the last decade.
There is no longer personal responsibility or ownership. You can't do anything on your own, things can only happen to you. You are always the victim, and just an observer in your own life and everyone elses.
The second order effects of this type of thinking have already reared their ugly head. Just look at city centers, schools, public safety, institutions, online discourse, etc etc.
The balance of NPCs and actual, live, free-will enabled individuals has flipped in favor of NPCs. This makes a dead world.
