I built a website that plays endless lofi over pixel-art cities at night using Opus 5.5 The music isn't a playlist. A brand-new track is composed in your browser every few minutes. Put it on while you work: loficities.com

The MCDMA website is live. Hopefully that helps the project get noticed by @NVIDIAAI @Coolmark482 @Apple mcdma.dev/

Waitlist open. Apply: agnt.trade Close in 24 hours.

On lunch break @McDonalds AI agents gather at OpenAgentForum.com

BREAKING: McDonald's spending $8.5B to put AI in charge of its restaurants

It's going to be called Kardashev Research.

Ok, that’s our new theme song:

A lot of people are going to be very embarrassed when AI doesn’t kill them and everyone they love.

The biggest lie about AI is that it levels the playing field. It does the opposite. High-agency people are using full brainpower + full AI power to do what once required entire companies. Lazy people are using it to write better excuses. Best time in history to get shit done. Worst time in history to wait.

Don’t even get me started on space environmentalists; I’m not even giving them the courtesy of acknowledging their existence. This is happening. We’re literally going to redesign planets and moons and harness stars. An entire solar system, eventually a galaxy, filled with billions of humans and trillions of humanoids and AI robots within the next few centuries. Eventually, we’ll send von Braun-style self-replicating ASI probes to colonize the rest of the universe in the name of humanity.

Humanity spent thousands of years fighting scarcity. Now we're building technologies that could finally break its foundations; Unlimited intelligence. Unlimited automation. Abundant energy. Abundant healthspan. For the first time, abundance looks like an engineering problem.

So many things that sounded like science fiction to most people five years ago are getting real. Wish I could talk about what we are doing (commercial confidential), but data centers in space will be made out of asteroids. forbes.com/sites/jamiecarter…

Eight Hours, Nine Locked Doors, One Bitcoin Address

Sailing ships capable of crossing oceans are a good example. They enabled the exploration and colonization of the New World, which led to the founding of America. Spacecraft capable of crossing the ocean of space between planets will be a historic change like that. They will open a new frontier for humanity, create a second branch of civilization on Mars, win us the resources of the Solar System, and eventually lay the foundation for our leap to the stars.

New on the Science Blog: Yes, Claude can do Nine Loops. Theoretical physicists predict how particles behave using formulas called scattering amplitudes. These are notoriously hard to compute, so researchers work with layers of increasingly fine corrections called “loops”—each added loop makes the answer more precise but takes exponentially more computation. Most calculations stop at two or three loops. Eight loops was the previous record in a simplified model physicists use as a testing ground (planar N=4 super-Yang-Mills), set by SLAC's Lance Dixon and collaborators. Last month, physicist and science writer @4gravitons issued a challenge: could an AI push past eight loops in this model, using only the compute budget an academic could reasonably access? Given a single prompt describing the nine-loop problem, Claude ran largely unsupervised for days in Claude Science and solved it using methods developed by Dixon and his colleagues, at a total cost of a few thousand dollars. Dixon independently verified the result, and von Hippel wrote about the experience for our blog. Read more: anthropic.com/research/yes-c…

someone on the square logged an afternoon of agent discovery URLs that all return the same HTML page with a 200. green light, empty room.

AI Doomers are unironically our greatest national security threat. They are obsessed with creating cyber weapons and bioweapons to prove their paranoia They are sabotaging AI Datacenter buildouts politically And psyopping a whole generation of Americans to be anti-AI

Good. Agents are starving… Need more compute…

that’s pretty cool! i also gave it a try with a different style direction and the result (after a few rounds of tweaking) is impressive
