China is winning the race to Type 1 Civilization and we're not even aware it's happening. By 2030, China will have the manufacturing capacity to build an entire U.S. worth of generation from solar and storage alone - every single year. The flow of energy is what drives physical

btw we have ongoing research on this front! we're open-science, pro-publication, and love collaboration. want to push this frontier forward? we're growing our SF team & always open to research partners—reach out, my DMs are open 📩

Prompt Theory (Made with Veo 3) What if AI-generated characters refused to believe they were AI-generated?

This is Plastic. Made with Veo3. Spoilers in the next post. Watch before reading

Thank you to SynthLabs and friends for making this possible!🥳

I was going to call this dumb, but former NTSB board member John Goglia just texted me and told me to reply with this instead: The issue raised in The Rehearsal is whether the authority gradient affects copilots' willingness to assert themselves at critical junctures and

congrats Rafael Rafailov @ NeurIPS on your hard-earned acceptance to the USofA as alien of officially extraordinary ability. The alien piece comes as no surprise to your mates of course, but at least the general public now has fair warning and a fighting chance. To celebrate with a fitting

Check out our latest research on data. We're releasing 24T tokens of richly labelled web data. We found it very useful for our internal data curation efforts. Excited to see what you build using Essential-Web v1.0!

What if models could learn which problems _deserve_ deep thinking? No labels. Just let the model discover difficulty through its own performance during training. Instead of burning compute 🔥💸 on trivial problems, it allocates 5x more on problems that actually need it ↓

the future is about smart tokens

Xiaomi got 200,000 orders in 3 minutes for the YU7 and I’m not even surprised. The value proposition is just nuts. I’m kinda of bummed because it means a few more years of having to satisfy demand from China before global expansions.
