Good to keep in mind next time someone tells you OpenAI is doomed because they don’t implement dark mode

Hey @nikitabier spend a week living on mobile web. There’s a lot of dumb bugs with poor cost / impact tradeoffs. E.g. Tweet composition borked on iOS web. If you edit with any complexity the state machine breaks and you can’t post. Just live in it for a week it’s almost there

She took off her burqa on live TV. In that moment, the world saw her beauty and her freedom.

We’re almost there. Bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for debate.

There are businesses all around you. You could have a billion dollar product in ten minutes.

I can't believe this needs to be explained but: 1. The US is not going to attack Denmark. 2. The bluster from Trump is to give encouragement to Greenlanders for a vote of independence, and a warning to Denmark not to ignore the results of such a vote. 3. Once the vote for independence happens, Greenland will need an alternative means of economic support because the economy is not self-sustaining. 4. Then they will enter into something like a "compact of free association" with the US that will involve economic support and strategic cooperation. 5. Denmark knows this, and their bellicosity is designed to discourage the Greenlanders from voting for self-determination. 6. Most other informed people also know this, and are spouting off in bad faith.

Tomorrow will be an important day, and the days after that. But today the dictators are afraid, the Marxists and appeasers are crying, and Venezuelans are celebrating the removal of a brutal despot. I refuse to complain about a day like that. May Venezuela be free.

What if the "flaws" in a system are actually the source code of its intelligence? In new work, we argue that invention behaves like a phase transition driven by exactly this dynamic: novelty is a thermodynamic response to constraint failure. When a system can no longer resolve its inputs within its current degrees of freedom, it is forced to expand its representational space - introducing new effective variables to restore feasibility. Thus innovation is not an accident; it is what a viable system does when the old model stops closing. This allowed us to extract the shared mechanics behind diverse phenomena: rote discovery, creativity, and the spark of insight. We show that symmetry breaking is the new optimization. We exhaustively mapped the topological landscape of matter and musical systems and found that the stabilizing vector is selective imperfection: a specific topological regime that rejects both sterile perfection and incoherent randomness. Strikingly, whether in the Hall-Petch strengthening of high-entropy alloys, function-driving geometry of proteins, or the cultural evolution of musical scales, the corridor for maximum coherence and adaptability is defined by a calculated defect. The physics of resilience and the mathematics of beauty appear to be running the same algorithm. This allows us to hack the vibrational stack by treating vibration as a universal isomorphic operator. We are liquefying the boundary between matter, sound, and intelligence, creating an epistemic inversion: listening becomes a form of seeing and creating. We are translating femtosecond molecular vibrations into audible spectra to design de novo proteins by creating direct lines of communication between Bach and deep-time evolution, and using the "glitch" logic of biology to build swarm AI. The distinction between a spider web’s stress tensor and a musical composition is collapsing; both are generative acts of world-building under constraint. For AI, the implication is straightforward: interpolation is not invention. True structural invention requires systems that can metabolize constraint failure - treating it as the exact point where new degrees of freedom are born. With this machines overcome the old paradigm of simply analyzing the world but are building it. We are operationalizing this via small-world topology. When these new degrees of freedom are born, they don't form a random mess; they snap into global coherence via small-world wiring. We found that this specific connectivity of balancing local motifs with long-range shortcuts is the architectural prerequisite for genuine world-building. Preprint with the full analysis to follow - stay tuned. On to 2026, excited to see what it brings!

Advice for AI engineers 💡 A small Visual Language Model fine-tuned on your custom dataset is as accurate as GPT-5... ... and costs 50 times less. For example, LFM2-VL-3B by @liquidai

This is day 1 of asking @LeaderJohnThune to pass the SAVE Act. Whereas proof of citizenship is not required to register to vote; Whereas Texas found thousands of illegal aliens on its voter rolls; Whereas states like CA, OR, & WA, give Driver’s Licenses to illegal aliens; Whereas Minnesota allows for 1 registered voter to vouch for 8 other persons without an ID; Whereas the American people demand fair elections; Whereas restoring confidence in our elections would inspire more Americans to vote; Whereas federal elections begin in Wisconsin February 2026; Now, therefore, be it resolved that Senate Majority Leader Thune should swiftly bring forth a vote on the SAVE Act and utilize every means to pass the bill with a simple majority vote.
