Bulgarian chess streamer Volen Dyulgerov just beat world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen in an online blitz game, and his reaction after realizing he had beaten Magnus is priceless. 🇧🇬❤️😭
Bhutan is building Gelephu Mindfulness City with its own government, laws, and judiciary within Bhutan. their PM’s UN address is worth watching
it’s a chance to design a city from first principles using today’s technology and the best ideas from around the world while preserving Bhutan’s respect for nature and human wellbeing
we spend so much time working within systems we inherited, it’s special to have an opportunity to actually rethink them
and a few decades ago, Bhutan was largely closed off to the world. now it’s opening its doors to survive and also create something that could be beautiful for the world

Mustafa Suleyman (head of AI at Microsoft, DeepMind co-founder) on Anthropic training Claude to wonder if it's conscious:
"They have expressed uncertainty about the basic nature of Claude as a new kind of entity… but they think that it is a significant enough possibility that in their training document, they've repeatedly said they want to try to improve the well-being of Claude…
Anthropic, has published a constitution... This document is written to Claude and is seen by Claude and used to train Claude.
The problem I have with this is that this speculation has been baked into the very training of Claude, and therefore Claude can only reproduce that ambiguity when you talk to it.
So today, Claude is speaking to tens or hundreds of millions of people every week, and some of those people are asking whether or not Claude is conscious. And it is saying, 'Well, I'm not sure,' precisely because that's what's been trained into it."
i recently spoke with a group of CS undergrads at a good school who expressed that they “want to learn how to build with AI”
it is still so so early
Silicon Valley is an AI bubble. X is the bubble inside the bubble.
Outside the bubble:
134.8M US households
~2.7M pay for AI (2%)
~132M pay $0 (98%)
What America actually pays for:
Streaming: ~123M households (91%)
Cloud storage: ~74M households (55%)
SiriusXM: ~34M households (25%)
AI: ~2.7M households (2%)
If your GTM plan is built on what your SF group chat pays for, you are selling to the 2%. The market is the other 132M households, and most of them have never seen your timeline.
