What are the odds that we're already ignorantly coexisting with a shy super AI? I'd certainly say sub-50% (for now). But further north of 0% than you might think. This new podcast episode is a monologue, and a (mostly) playful thought experiment. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

So, @_panthalassa operated mostly in secret for a decade. And what it built is nuts.
Massive, massive floating data centers that drive themselves out to sea and then capture water inside of them to spin a turbine and power GPUs. Look at these things.

Excited to announce today that my startup, @positron_ai, has closed a $230M Series B financing round at an over $1B valuation, co-led by great folks at @jumptrading, Arena, Unless Ventures, and strategic backing by @Arm!

Shame on @23andMe . I tried to delete my data, entered a circular doom loop of notifications which included locking out of my account. This is not right. You MUST allow us to delete our data - PERIOD. Always - but particularly now that our data will be sold by a bankrupcy judge.

If they’d had the sense to use a Sasquatch suit they never would have been caught, since Sasquatch dexterity and claw-marks are less understood by forensic teams. nytimes.com/2024/11/14/us/fa…

I first met @johncumbers over 10 years ago, and love going to his SynBioBeta conference, which kicks off tomorrow in San Jose. Well worth it if you're in range: synbiobeta.com/events/synbio…

For all the hype, people are still under-appreciating AI's potential in education. For instance @midjourney has already taught me so much about the secret history of smartphones.
