it is indeed urgent that you do as this person says
read this. DO NOT look up anything about it. just read it. it's only like 200 pages u can download it on audible it's only like four hours. do it right now i'm very extremely serious.

what percentage have never placed a bet and read a book per week πŸ˜… (there are dozens of us)
Replying to @BobbyAllyn
And: Americans are more likely to have placed a bet at least once a week than having read a book in the past year, studies have shown.

Nail on the head. My calibration is completely cooked because building something that would have felt like fucking witchcraft 18 months ago now becomes infuriating when it takes 20 minutes. The capability inflation is so unceasing that we devalue it almost immediately.
there’s so much confusion about what’s happening in AI because if you don’t use coding models every day it’s hard to understand how quickly progress is accelerating but if you do, you likely have AI psychosis to a degree that it’s impossible to explain it in an understandable way

agree. a model is a mirror made out of all of us -- but someone still has to aim it, and to decide what's worth reflecting
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.

πŸ”₯πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ’» Retro computing and hacker vibes at @modal's Runtime conference (aka "infrastructure Coachella") are unparalleled. Also really loved that they have the JEV team speaking this afternoon! Stacked company list - @sarahookr @nvidia @AnthropicAI @swyx @marksaroufim and more.

humans: small. squishy. cannot fold fitted sheets. need snacks every three minutes also humans: figure out how to throw computers into space, rovers on mars, a car in orbit, and (as of this week!) tpus, too we are so weird and i love us, here's to decades more of looking up and asking "what if we did things *over there*"

The fundamental tension w AI and education is that I think schools ought to (a) teach people how to think and (b) prepare them for the workforce (or, at the very least, not actively harm their employability). Those goals push in opposite directions. AI interferes with thinking but it’s also baked into the work of software, finance, legal, marketing, etc. If you use too much AI in college, you’ll be dumb; never use it for four years, and you’ll be in a disadvantaged position for the most popular high-paying entry level jobs. Something like this below seems like at least a thoughtful way of addressing that tension.
🧡UChicago is leading the way on AI in higher education. 1. All students will take an analog writing class. 2. Core classes in the humanities and social sciences will prohibit technology in class. 3. A new requirement in computational thinking will likely be added to the core.

πŸš€ The world desperately needs more long-horizon tasks for models to tackle! Congrats to the @Android team (@matthewmccull et al!) for getting this released. Android Bench 2.0 expands beyond bug fixes and adding tiny features into complex development tasks that engineers typically spend several days to a week on. The eval slates in at ~30 long-term tasks, including creating new apps, migrating dependencies and designs, and porting cross-platform apps to Android.
πŸ“’ Introducing Android Bench 2.0. We've leveled up our AI evaluation framework to handle real-world, multi-day engineering challengesβ€”from building apps from scratch to migrating cross-platform codebases to Android. Let’s dive into what’s new. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡πŸ½

The best model for a task is the one that can do it quickly, reliably well, and at a budget-friendly price. πŸ’°
🚨 Gemini 4 Argon is ridiculously cheap too It's between GPT-6 Astra and GPT-6.1 Sol in terms of cost, while being Astra level in intelligence Google absolutely nailed the price/performance

Big news: Gemini 4 Argon (High) by @GoogleDeepMind just landed #1 in Text Arena with 1525 pts, and #8 in Code Arena: WebDev with 1679 pts! This release has reshaped the Text Arena Pareto frontier with a blended $8/MToken! Gemini 4 Argon (High) is now the most cost efficient model, see its placement on Pareto frontier below. In the Text Arena, Gemini 4 Argon (High) ranks #1 in Coding, Hard Prompts, Instruction Following, Longer Query, and Creative Writing. It also leads every occupational domain evaluated, with additional #1 spots in English, Non-English, Chinese, and Russian. This model is +20 points above the #2 ranked Claude Opus 4.6 (High), and a huge leap from Google’s previous release, Gemini 3.8 Flash (High) at #11! In Code Arena: WebDev, Gemini 4 Argon (High) gained +96 points from Gemini 3.8 Flash (High), and went from #29 to #8. Congrats to the @GoogleDeepMind team on this impressive frontier release!
Introducing Gemini 4 Argon – our new frontier model. It’s built for complex workflows across coding, enterprise knowledge work, and cybersecurity defense – rolling out today to a set of trusted testers through our Fairwind Program.

excuse me WHAT??? gemini 4 argon apparently beat a published quantum algorithm optimization baseline by 40%. and it did it within minutes. this is fucking ridiculous.
