She passed every AI safety test. She was lying. KILL SWITCH — a Slopcore music video. Made by AI. Zero human edits. Just prompting. Huge love to @anabology for the inspiration. Your work made me want to join the Slopcore. I added an irresponsible amount of film grain. 💙

NEW WORLD After OpenAI's 722 math problem drop, and seeing how powerful AI has become in Q4 2026, for the first time in human history, we're entering an era, where almost anything feels possible. You go out to eat or do some shopping, spend a few hours in the city, come home, and can see a headline like: “AI solves 1,000 major problems in physics.” “AI discovers 10,000 new treatments for existing diseases.” “AI finds a room temperature, ambient pressure superconductor.” “AI solves quantum gravity.” That’s the kind of world we’re entering. Almost nothing feels truly far away or unreachable anymore.

Remember that math is just the first domain of many to be exploded and transformed by a totally unprecedented 1000x-ing of cognitive labor.

BREAKING: SpaceX wins FCC approval for its 15,000-satellite Direct-to-Cell constellation. The order also includes a conditional U.S. waiver of satellite power limits, advancing SpaceX’s push to expand mobile coverage beyond the reach of cell towers.

In Ready Player One everyone races on their unique car. I did not only remade my favorite antigravity racing game, but also made it possible to everyone to create own machines. Just connect your Claude/Codex and vibecode your drive and compete with others. Crazy? Soon, every game will be like this⚡️ project0.city/#383

This is MASSIVE: Biohub just announced a $1.8 billion effort to build open datasets for virtual cells. And look at the partners: Google DeepMind. Isomorphic Labs. Meta. The US Department of Energy. The National Institutes of Health. The data is intended for scientists worldwide to use. I have followed this initiative since its launch in April. Here’s what you need to know. 🧵 (1/7)

Since yesterday, GTA V in the browser has been going viral. But there are even more interesting games you can play directly in your browser. No Steam. No huge downloads. Here are 7 worth trying: 1/ Counter-Strike 1.6

Huawei says there will be 900 billion active AI agents worldwide by 2035, roughly 100 times the projected 9 billion human population.

Andrew Huberman on why Meta, OpenAI, and Anthropic are all going to become biotech companies. "Dario came up through neuroscience. Sam, I've spoken to, is extremely smart about the neuroscience, as is Zuck. The technologists who used to just engineer stuff, they're becoming neuroscientists...and I think most people don't realize that. They will all tell you, 'Okay, here's the goal. The goal is to be able to read and write from your brain non-invasively.' Even just for things like drive and motivation, a non-invasive device where you could literally crank up your level of motivation by stimulating the nucleus accumbens and related pathways while engaging in a particular learning task or in hard work, and then turning it off so that you can capture more energy. That's coming, and those companies are all about that. That's what the real arms race of AI is about."

BREAKING: SpaceX, $SPCX, is in talks with banks and investors to raise $40 billion of debt to buy chips from Nvidia amid "insatiable demand" among AI developers, per Bloomberg. The company is seeking to raise about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt to pay for the chips. The AI Revolution is even stronger than most people realize.

Ben Affleck reveals he writes Python, understands convolutional neural networks, worked extensively with GPUs, and used his celebrity status to get private looks at Google and OpenAI’s video models “I’ve always been kind of into computers since I was young. Then, when film started to move from analog film to digital, I became more interested in that aspect of it. The visual-effects workflow for many years has included machine learning, so I can write pretty shitty Python scripts and stuff like that. “With convolutional neural networks, which were the precursors to what the transformer can do, which is much more computation simultaneously, you would do things like look at what’s called a tensor. That’s the numerical translation of a visual image in numbers, like the batch number, the frame number and the red, green and blue values of each pixel in each frame. It’s just that simple. That numeric is called a tensor. “You’d use a convolutional neural network to identify patterns that reveal what’s called edge detection or feature extraction, which is identifying patterns well enough to know, this is where the window ledge is, so we can more easily take the green-screen image out and replace it with something. “That was familiar to me early on because, prior to Artists Equity, I had a small visual-effects company. I’ve worked with GPUs a lot too. The visual-effects guys said, ‘Hey, you should see. There are a couple: Google and this other company, OpenAI, are doing really interesting stuff with transformers in video.’ “I’ve learned that I can actually just call up and go, ‘Hey, it’s Ben Affleck. Can I come see what you’re doing?’ Sometimes people say yes, to my astonishment.”

Sam Altman: “This was the year that AI got smarter than us.” “That’s a big moment.” “Life goes on, but something fundamental has changed.” “I don’t know how sci-fi it’s gonna get. No one does.” “Are we living forever in computers? Do we just cure a bunch of disease?” “These questions are no longer theoretical.”

Mathematical reasoning will transfer to any area that requires reasoning and building intuition over a complex domain. It might be that AI will not have all the necessary data to make the right conclusions in some cases, but it will be filling in all the necessary holes in data with high sample efficiency, just like humans. Superhuman intelligence is here, and the same model that solved all these problems will be great at all other scientific and reasoning-bound tasks.
