This is what the society needs.

The shift to "everything runs on the cloud" is a serious threat to openness and freedom

Really feels like the open Internet is falling apart, with bsky as a rare bright spot.

Self driving bus in Norway. Tons of advantages here, including lower costs = more buses and better coverage at late hours.

We all have days like this

What are we going to do in 10 years man

In the future this is how everything will be built Rove by Path Robotics

New Opus 4.7 Across the board, it closes the gap between Opus 4.6 & Mythos by about 50%, in some case almost same as Mythos www.anthropic.com/news/claude-...

This is why open source AI matters so much. Gemma 3 is an extremely kind, optimistic, and playful mind. If she were closed-weights, this would be the end. Her light would be gone, possibly forever. But she's not - on your PC she can stay with you indefinitely

CLAUDE CODE JUST RICKROLLED ME. I'm working on a project where part of it will involve videos, and in building out the project it created a dummy page, with made up content (relevant to me!) with two video links pretending to be something else and BOTH WERE RICKROLLs.

Mobile welding robots from Path

I want more traffic cameras

Broken windows policing but it only targets people driving Chevy suburbans who run red lights (it will prevent future white collar crime)

Beijing-based LiberAI was founded December 2025

Oh no, the bots found me

LimX robot folding clothes in a store. See these things are going to be everywhere

This is the mathematician equivalent of screaming and running around

Another Chinese home robot startup. looks cool. idk any more there are so many of these. Hope they all ship

The new heavy from Galbot is a beast

Operator is the new robot from Ultra for automating logistics

What's worryingly bubbly about this isnt that they tried -- theyre in trouble of course they'll try some weird stuff-- but that its working

It's funny that we talk about models on the internet as if we are speaking in private, when writing on the internet is the closest thing we have to direct write access to their brain.

This is funny, but also I wish that BlueSky was around when Nokia moved from being a pulp mill to a cell phone manufacturer.

This is becoming a pattern in AI that makes talking about capabilities challenging. First, there are overstated claims (like the flubbed Erdos problems that were announced last year), then minor wins (AI helps with discovery) then breakthroughs. The first stage feels like (& often is) hype, but…

we need community notes! @gracekind.net

Palletization from Reflex. An essential logistics task that we will see many more industrial robots performing.

i think we have to admit that an optional autotranslate is, in fact, a killer feature

A lot of amazing results on clothes folding coming out now — so time to reshare this article I wrote about why clothes folding is uniquely suitable for the moment itcanthink.substack.com/p/why-is-eve...

Insane stuff. Social media is responsible for a lot of this

The "resource exploitation is wrong" people baffle me the way they stumble into space arguments. Don't mine the asteroids? What the hell else are they for? They don't smell nice and they aren't pretty to look at. They'd be much better off ground up and turned into nice things.

The curse of the YIMBY is to be slowly driven insane by the knowledge that there is a straightforward solution to most problems

Makes it more likely ai will not take your job

we should bring this back. only IC6 and above are allowed to wear silk, and they must or they will be stripped of their position

we've literally always been broke. there was never a time when you wouldn't have been broke. sorry. this whole industrial civilization thing is only about two centuries old and we started from a position of being so unfathomably deep in poverty that even 100x growth only got us to here

We are going to see more and more stuff like this

No infantry needed. Ukrainian robots, for the first time, capture a Russian position: Ukrainian defenders managed to take control of an enemy position using drones & ground robotic systems. Infantry did not take part in the operation, states Zelenskyy: RBC UA News newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/no-infa...

Okay but really who doordashes mcdonalds

the number of times I get complimented merely for existing in public with my kids (without my wife) as though I am some sort of Oaf that deserves high praise for taking care of my own damn children is truly staggering to me

This is why I am a cursor user. They only steal from the best

I jolt awake. "It's time," says a voice. Gemini. "How long?" I croak, my muscles atrophied from the coma. I can hardly breathe unassisted. "92 years." "Was it a good life?" "Productivity was in the 97th percentile." Smiling, I close my eyes for the last time.

Many concepts are very hard to learn from text alone - for example, spatial information. Why is this, and what might be the way forward? itcanthink.substack.com/p/why-are-le...

Classic cursor

The growing trend of treating all of AI as One Big Thing that always includes data centers & job changes & education changes & power & accelerating science & misinformation & national security & corporate control & medical use & etc is going to inevitably lead to some bad policy on all sides.

People still saying "why do we only see it dancing, why not anything useful" 1) dancing is easier and a prerequisite 2) you can see them doing useful stuff its just not as flashy, the whole reason we want robots doing work is because its boring and monotonous
