High signal, not low. Assuming it's not a permanent 100% of their role, getting your hands in the data is very underrated. The idea that it's beneath an engineer is pure ego. I spent weeks hand-labeling data on some previous projects. High quality data is priceless.

Just learned:
Software engineers used to do manual data labeling at Scale AI while Alex Wang was CEO. After he left, new leadership joined, and were HORRIFIED to learn this. Stopped it ASAP
Now at Meta, software engineers are assigned manual data labeling... see the pattern?

How are some people so good at naming things? Every now and then I see a name that is just perfect.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Markets are made at the margin. The margins have shifted quickly. If you can’t see that then you have your head in the sand.
AI beating Pokémon red with vision and having material impact on labor are completely unrelated measures. Anyone using agents can see how effective they are with some guidance. AGI is not a requirement to disrupt markets.

The AI panic is really unbelievable today. The level of delusion and hype have grown to mythic proportions.
Has AI beaten Pokemon Red yet? Like a normal 6 year old does, by looking at the screen? Oh it hasn't. But all jobs are over in 18 months? This website is full of idiots.

“…ask yourself why you were wrong about this and try to update your priors so that you'll be less wrong next time.”
This is almost verbatim what I say when Claude takes too many iterations to fix a bug lol

Lots of folks are apparently in utter disbelief at these numbers, because *obviously* Google search died in 2023, *no one* is using Google at all in 2026, so the numbers must be wrong somehow, or maybe it's just AI agents making all these queries?
Nope, it's a plain fact that more people than ever are using Google to search more than ever. In fact Google search usage is *accelerating* as of Q4 2025
Look, instead of grasping at straws, ask yourself why you were wrong about this and try to update your priors so that you'll be less wrong next time

This sounds intuitive but it's completely backwards.
Constraints breed creativity.
The problem one is trying to solve is itself a constraint.
You're posting this on X, built on a 140-character limit which forced to be creative.
Toy Story was famously created because CGI couldn't render realistic skin texture.
The pattern shows up everywhere. Pressure and constraints are comfortable, but comfort rarely produces anything useful.

You know that researchers need freedom and zero pressure for creativity right?
Not $180M in funding which creates crazy pressure from VCs?
The Transformer and Diffusion models weren’t born this way

RLMs in one sentence: MapReduce, but the LLM decides the splits - and what to do with each split. LLMs all the way down. 🧵👇

Where it shines: decomposable tasks — evidence gathering, fact extraction, contradiction reconciliation, cited summaries. Still hard: "global vibe" questions (tone/sentiment across everything) unless you engineer good aggregation.

Let's just say we've been pretty busy! A new era ahead for Mythical as we begin to pull back the curtain on what we're working on.

Mythical is evolving.
Our games established our acquisition & distribution capabilities; invisibly onboarding millions of new users to crypto. Soon it'll be time to unveil the wider vision we've been working towards.
2026 will be Mythical's year. Stay tuned.

From a builder perspective I am particularly excited about this partnership.
The unlocks for us to be building on EVM are significant.
I'll resist the temptation here to dive in to what that means exactly, but you'll soon see for yourselves with our product roadmap. 🫡

Human identity is one of the toughest challenges to solve in technology. Most games haven't attempted to even scratch the surface.. and their economies suffer as a result.
We're excited to play a leading role to address this.
Welcome aboard Eightco!
14 Oct 2025
We’re excited to announce a strategic investment from Eightco Holdings ($ORBS) - backed by BitMine, World Foundation, Kraken, and others, as part of Mythical Gaming’s latest funding round.
This partnership accelerates our mission to build a world-class entertainment ecosystem and bring verified human identity to gaming in the post-AGI era.
