facts, I think cyber is about to go into a singularity
In the long run, AI is going to make software so much more capable, and so much more secure. And reliable. But before that ...

congrats @caseykcaruso amazing foresight!
Today, Coherence is announcing their $45M Series A from Founders Fund and OpenAI. Topology was lucky to be Coherence’s first US institutional investor and co-lead their Seed round. Thrilled for Ben, Elise and the team.

Excited to see @Firelightfi partner with one of the premier DeFi vault platforms in the market and the infrastructure behind the first two protected vaults @Sentora launched a couple of weeks ago. Welcome @upshift_fi .

I think this is correct, and I believe that models will invent very very large vocabularies to more efficiently communicate without the need to speak human languages either
If we want to continue progress in science, we must be prepared to acknowledge that the correct description of nature will eventually simply be too complicated for humans to understand. I do not think it is wise to make human understanding a requirement. AI is the way forward.

I've been in the tech scene long enough to know that two opposite things can be true at once: 1. The rest of the world doesn't understand how quickly things are happening in tech. 2. The tech people don't understand how slowly things are happening in the rest of the world.

This is the most authentic he’s been. Guinness is a psyop

The cryptographic world computer: vitalik.eth.limo/general/202… My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties. FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.

Incredible visualization of OpenRouter data! We have an open API for it. CC by 4.0
118 trillion tokens in one week, visualized as a crowd. I made a site that turned real OpenRouter data into a tiny town where every AI lab is a shop. More tokens, bigger crowd. tt.lab.sael.net

My new iPhone 18 Pro Max just arrived. This looks better than on my 16 Pro Max. My phone is way less hot. The sound it makes is way better. The cameras in it are way better. I thought about keeping my phone another year. Glad I didn’t. And I am jealous of all you who are getting one that folds. Because of what I do I need the best possible camera. Into the new world we go!
Astra made this: a seamless 4K Mandelbrot loop from zₙ₊₁ = zₙ² + c, complete with a procedural soundtrack. math is absurdly beautiful.

People who are claiming the brain is "two organs" are dumbing down developmental neuroscience exceedingly for pop science coverage. The brain is very clearly and obviously and anatomically a multi-organ system and this matters a lot as to how we reason about machine intelligence and how it can be constituted.

The founders I've watched fail weren't quitters. They were finishers. Same roadmap. Same ICP. Same pitch. Nine months after the data said stop. Grit that ignores new information isn't grit. It's a robot with a burn rate.
