1/ Insane: A single injection into the inner ear reversed deafness in all ten patients. Some started hearing again within weeks. Gene therapy just crossed a threshold we thought was still years away. Lets dig into this breakthrough and how it works 🧵

Wow, this tweet went very viral! I wanted share a possibly slightly improved version of the tweet in an "idea file". The idea of the idea file is that in this era of LLM agents, there is less of a point/need of sharing the specific code/app, you just share the idea, then the

Why OpenAI doesn't focus on roadmaps from Alexander Embiricos (Codex product lead): "At OpenAI, you either plan near or long-term, but you never plan medium-term. It's just too difficult. Near-term is up to eight weeks from now. What is a concrete thing you can rally a team to ship?

Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software. It’s powered by our newest frontier model, Claude Mythos Preview, which can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled humans. anthropic.com/glasswing
