None of this shitshow would have happened if Anthropic weren't so obsessed with making unsafe AI to prove their point about AI safety They literally hyperstitioned a cybersecurity autistic AI with RL and now they can't even release the nerfed version due to jailbreaks

Erik Voorhees explaining the importance of preserving AI as an institution not controlled by government "I would start by just conveying that important institutions of civilization shouldn't be under the control of any group of people" "when i started getting into the AI space, I realized that we have this additional new institution, which is machine intelligence, and this is becoming very quickly as important as money or as mathematics" "and if it is served to the world by a few tech companies who do whatever the government tells them to do, then that's a big problem and I see that would lead to a very dystopian kind of future" "the whole reason we started Venice was to create an antidote to that, to basically allow anyone access to unrestricted machine intelligence"

I had a heart attack at 41. I wasn't obese, a smoker, and I thought I was too young to worry. Here's 8 things I wish someone had told me sooner: 1. Don’t eat Instant Ramen.

🚀🚀 Introducing Pixal3D (SIGGRAPH’26) — a new pixel-aligned image-to-3D generation paradigm for high-fidelity 3D asset creation. Today’s Image-to-3D has become pretty good at producing plausible 3D assets. But plausibility is not enough. Fidelity is a hidden bottleneck. ❓A generated model may look “about right,” yet still fail to truly align with the input pixels. Can we make 3D generation as faithful as reconstruction, while still allowing it to complete the unseen? Pixal3D is our answer. 💡We believe the core bottleneck behind fidelity is 2D–3D correspondence. Most 3D-native generators synthesize shapes in canonical space and inject image cues through cross-attention, forcing the model to implicitly search for which pixels correspond to which 3D regions. 🍀Pixal3D takes a different route. Instead of generating in canonical space, Pixal3D generates directly in pixel-aligned camera space — what you see is what you get. The generated 3D asset is aligned with the input view from the start. ☕️Meanwhile, Pixal3D introduces back-projection-based image condition scheme - explicitly back-projects multi-scale pixel features into 3D voxels, thus resolving the 2D-3D association problem. The input image is no longer just a prompt - it becomes a geometric anchor. 🚩Pixal3D shows that pixel-aligned 3D generation is not only feasible and scalable, but also significantly improves fidelity, pushing 3D-native generation closer to reconstruction-level faithfulness. It also naturally extends to multi-view and scene-level 3D generation. ✅Faithful to the input view. ✅Generative for the unseen. Closer to reconstruction-level fidelity, with the creativity of 3D generation. Pixal3D also represents an effort towards the unification of 3D generation and reconstruction. 📢Paper, code, and demo are fully released — try it out and let us know your feedback! 🌐Project page: ldyang694.github.io/projects… 🤗Huggingface Demo: huggingface.co/spaces/Tencen… 💻Code: github.com/TencentARC/Pixal3… 📄Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2605.10922

Neural networks do math by rotating shapes. We found a shape-rotating calculator hidden inside an LLM – and it’s used for more than just math! (1/6)

Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300 local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies. The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.

I was a bit hesitant about showing stuff like this just a month ago 😅 When we started showcasing real-time AI SDF sculpting, I was afraid professionals would laugh if I showed no effort on the input models. The shape strength slider was also hidden in our first iteration, so I had no choice but to at least try and knock some more interesting shapes together. Now that we're starting to focus on more powerful features and shape strength is finally unlocked, I'm starting to appreciate just playing with simple shapes. Different stages of production have different needs. Sometimes you want full authoring over your creations, while other times you just want to quickly explore new ideas.
