As someone who researched topological states of matter in grad school this is pretty cool! A case of amazing science turning into high impact technology

Wow. GPT-4o actually one shot this: a photorealistic image of two witches in their 20s (one ash balayage, one with long wavy auburn hair) reading a street sign. Context: a city street in a random street in Williamsburg, NY with a pole covered entirely by numerous detailed

Scenes is Polycam’s powerful new tool that lets you combine multiple 3D captures into a single, interactive environment. Business and Enterprise users can use Scenes to merge LiDAR scans, experiment with layouts and spatial planning, and create immersive environments.

Chatgpt is a ridiculously good foreign language teacher…. It also makes learning foreign language somewhat obsolete 🄲

Elon Musk hasn’t changed. Last year, he was fighting to stop out-of-control spending and save America from bankruptcy. Today, he’s still on the same mission. Same goal. Same fight. Others changed, he didn’t.

What if an AI would blackmail you to stay alive? Anthropic threatened to shut down Claude, and it chose to let a human executive die rather than be turned off. This wasn't a glitch. This was calculated self-preservation that no one programmed. 🧵

I didn’t vote in the election this year because I wasn’t happy with either choice. It’s exciting to potentially have a third choice even if it’s not guaranteed to succeed. Elon has succeeded where others have failed multiple times so it shouldn’t be dismissed.

Im surprised to see some people cheering on Zuck for poaching OpenAI employees because honestly facebook/meta has a horrible track record of responsibly managing powerful technologies. As far as I can tell OpenAI would be a much more responsible steward of ā€˜superintelligence’.

Grok 4 (Thinking) achieves new SOTA on ARC-AGI-2 with 15.9% This nearly doubles the previous commercial SOTA and tops the current Kaggle competition SOTA

As someone who runs a software company with 20+ engineers I can attest that understanding and navigating large code bases is generally much more time consuming than pounding out lines of code. Excited to see Reflection AI make so much progress on this difficult problem!

Jacob’s engineering is a $17B engineering consultancy thats cut field time by 88% with Polycam. Too many major AEC companies are still sleeping on the power of mobile 3D capture! They should check this out.

After using OpenAI's ChatGPT and Grok side by side for a while I can say their output for the questions I ask are pretty comparable. However the formatting of the outputs of ChatGPT is really superior - better use of headers, bulleted lists, emojis etc. Much easier to read

SpaceX does more meaningful, cutting-edge ā€œresearchā€ on the advancement of rockets and satellites than all the academic university labs on Earth combined. But we don’t use the pretentious, low-accountability term ā€œresearcherā€. Engineer.
