Anthropic Co-founder, Tom Brown:

We’re heading into the biggest infrastructure buildout in human history — bigger than Apollo or the Manhattan Project

AGI compute spending is rising at ~3x per year

That trajectory is locked in for next year; 2027-2028 are less certain

Super fun conversation with the incredible @FryRsquared, about Genie 3, world models, and Hannah’s most unique taste when it comes to vacations (watch ~25:00).

DINOv3 is revolutionary: a new state-of-the-art vision backbone trained to produce rich, dense image features. I loved their demo video so much that I decided to re-create their visualization tool.

Everything runs 100% in-browser with 🤗 Transformers.js!

I asked GPT-5 Thinking to fact-check this. The response below provides evidence that McKinsey has become obsolete.

Executive summary

The headline “Nearly half of American EV owners want to switch back to gas” is misleading when held up against more recent and higher-quality…

Prompt: Timelapse video from a fixed camera overlooking an empty cliffside and vast ocean, wind sweeping through tall grass in the foreground. Bulldozers gradually arrive and carve a plateau, the ground reshaping steadily as they leave frame. Concrete slabs pour in sequence,…

BREAKING: Sam Altman just revealed who GPT-5 is really built for:

> India is our 2nd largest market
> It may become our LARGEST
> We’ve taken a lot of feedback from users in india what they’d like from us…
> more affordable access
> and we’ve put that in GPT-5

Now it all…

The Cambrian explosion of indie games is coming!

If you don’t build your own cute video game it’s because you don’t want to, because it’s easier than ever.

But it will be even easier soon. “Games with just a prompt” will be a thing soon.

I don’t say this often but this interview is a must watch to understand the future.

It is the team that is building Google’s Holodeck. Genie 3.

A 3D world model, what I call a Holodeck.

Thank you @jparkerholder and @shlomifruchter! What incredible work.

This trend of Orwellian wearable AI devices that consistently record and stream without third-party consent (or at least awareness) is a dystopian nightmare.

Outside of the SV bubble you won’t find many people who are okay with this, and for good reason: private conversations…

LLM personality tuning is fast becoming a science

AI will morph into whatever you want it to be

Much like social media, AI companies will maximize engagement by getting you addicted.

HOT TAKE

“AI girlfriends will replace OnlyFans and most influencer types within 5-8 years

OnlyFans will become a long-forgotten trend”

this is the Dead Internet Theory endgame for parasocial media

New study finds GPT-4o doesn’t lead to homogenous creative writing.

Also, the trick of giving an LLM random seed words, which @thatroblennon has been doing for years, makes a difference.
