You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.   Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

If this is true, using the best public estimates we have of LLM resource use, solving this Erdos problem took 0.6–6.3 kWh of electricity and about 3–31 liters of water. So that is less than three almonds worth of water and the electricity equivalent of 2-20 miles of EV driving.

You just patched last month’s Nginx vulnerability that was actively exploited in the wild? It’s already time for a fresh 0-day RCE. The whole world is basically “pwned-by-default”, patching vulnerabilities before they’re exploited feels like a Sisyphean task... 🫠

Over the past year, AI agents have learned how to self-replicate. In our test environment, an agent hacks a remote computer and copies itself onto it. Each copy then hacks more computers, forming a chain.

AI is taking over Williamsburg. 42% of the companies in this new Wburg office complex are AI companies (22/53). It’s called The Refinery at Domino. They even host a monthly AI Demo Day at the building that draws hundreds of people and have an Equinox fitness club on-site.

One of the bigger meta-patterns I've noticed is that engineers and conscientious people tend to overweight the value of internal consistency and logical consistency Our audiences are barely paying attention, and it is more important to resonate in simple ways than to worry deeply about the precision and consistency of our systems and logic Reality is incredibly complex, and any illusion you have that you have figured out a "consistent logical formula" for your work is probably wrong and unimportant Vibes matter a lot more than people think in a hyperdimensional world

I think returns to intelligence are nonlinear because decisions are path-dependent early choices in code, experiments, or strategy can compound positively or negatively over time for example by avoiding dead ends or preserving optionality it's why I am a big fan of very long running tasks and massive benchmarking budgets GPT-5.5 and Mythos Preview are only marginally more intelligent than previous models and have pretty much the same performance up to 10M tokens, but after that they go absolutely ballistic

2027 will be the year of the data breach
