For years we talked about fintechs challenging banks. Revolut shows how far that idea has come. It now wants to be the bank, the wealth manager, the payments company and much more. This is what fintech was always supposed to become. https://t.co/EEO6aa1Mhv

oh man are these OpenAI guys desperate. take a little dose of anthropomorphism if you must. but little guys living in your computers? 🤦‍♂️ https://t.co/IjGaH49sbt

Banks will use more and more AI. That is inevitable. But if everyone depends on the same few AI systems, one problem can quickly become everyone's problem. That is a risk worth thinking about. https://t.co/YsJHp8trBI

everyone's asking what AI will do to humanity. on Sept 19, 130 communities across 52 countries try answering with what they build. I'm hosting the Hack for Humanity San Francisco one, w/ Google Gemini. come spend a saturday on one problem in your own community, like getting a restaurant's extra food to the people sitting outside it.

For as long as cameras have existed, seeing farther has meant building bigger optics. We're building quantum camera platforms that break that rule and enable space domain awareness and reconnaissance missions. Today we're announcing strategic investments from Lockheed Martin Ventures and Presidio Ventures, the venture arm of Sumitomo Corporation, capping our pre-seed at over $10M in total funding. Seven months ago we came out of stealth with a first close led by Ground State Ventures. Since then, we completed on-sky demonstrations at a partner observatory, distinguishing closely spaced objects. Our Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Direct-to-Phase-II SBIR advanced into its second option period. NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration selected us for an SBIR Phase I in orbital debris tracking and named us the winner of its $100,000 Space to Soil Challenge. Our cameras sort incoming light by its shape rather than its brightness, measuring information conventional systems discard. That means resolving detail below the diffraction limit at a fraction of the aperture, size, and cost. Next comes our first fielded camera. Flight heritage is planned through a hosted payload on a partner spacecraft. Thank you to SBI US Gateway Fund, Plug and Play, Collaborative Fund, and TekVentures, and to Aether VC, milemark•capital, and ADIN for following on. Link to the full release in the first comment.

Convenience can quietly become dependence. On YAP, I sat down with brain and memory expert Jim Kwik (@jimkwik) to talk about digital dementia, digital deduction, and the cost of outsourcing memory and thinking to technology. Jim uses “digital dementia” for relying on technology to remember things, and “digital deduction” for relying on it to think for us. His warning is about what happens when the brain stops doing any of the work it can still do. His muscle analogy makes the point: an arm in a cast does not get stronger—it weakens and atrophies. What this means: use tools intentionally, but keep exercising memory, judgment, and attention. Let technology assist you but don’t let it replace every mental rep. Which task have you outsourced that you still want your brain to practice?

Jim Kwik (@jimkwik) is the founder of Kwik Learning and one of the world’s best-known teachers of memory, accelerated learning, and brain performance. For more than three decades, he has taught his methods to students at Harvard, Caltech, and Singularity University, as well as teams at Google, Virgin, Nike, and the United Nations. His book Limitless became a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller, and Kwik Learning now serves students in 195 countries. Few educators have influenced how people approach memory, focus, and learning at that scale. Full episode: https://t.co/H5IBSYaTnb

There are so many beautiful experiences on Apple Vision Pro. Kooboori adds another one. The app turns your table into a canvas to build worlds out of blocks that all have different materials. Some blocks even emit light, which is so satisfying to look at. Also: I will never get over how incredibly precise the hand tracking on Vision Pro is. It really is just that good.

Gaussian splats let you choose the camera move after you've left the location. We added animation tools and 4K video export to Spatial Studio, all in the browser. Here's the result, followed by how we made it. https://t.co/kDYuIsmuIg

Why so big though? They have good use for massive launch capacity Start with Starlink. We think this opportunity scales into the hundreds of billions of dollars before returns begin to decay. Spend $1 billion building satellites and ground stations, launching the rocket, and acquiring customers. Yield $5 billion (net of taxes and operating costs in return.) Not a bad business. (These are our estimates for their 10th launch of v3 sats.)

Elon Musk a écrit ce matin une phrase que l’école vous a appris à trouver obscène : « McCarthy was right (obviously). » On vous a enseigné à haïr ce nom comme on apprend une table de multiplication, sans jamais vous dire ce qu’il avait vu, et c’est précisément pour ça que la phrase dérange encore. Il faut comprendre ce qu’était sa thèse, parce qu’on l’a réduite à une caricature pour n’avoir pas à la regarder. McCarthy ne disait pas seulement qu’il existait des espions assez stupides pour voler des plans dans un tiroir. Il disait que le communisme avait compris quelque chose de plus décisif : qu’un pays se prend moins par ses frontières que par ses institutions, moins par ses usines d’armement que par ce qui fabrique, dans la tête des gens, le réel lui-même. Département d’État, universités, syndicats, rédactions, bibliothèques, écoles : non pas pour piquer un secret, mais pour orienter ce qu’une civilisation croit être vrai, juste, enseigné, publiable. Le scalpel était souvent imprécis, les chiffres bougeaient, la méthode était sloppy, et une partie des noms qu’il agitait n’aurait jamais dû l’être. Cela ne change rien au diagnostic. Quand les câbles de Venona ont été déclassifiés en 1995, on a retrouvé ce que l’intelligentsia avait passé quarante ans à traiter comme une hallucination : Alger Hiss, les Rosenberg, Harry Dexter White, et des centaines d’Américains qui travaillaient pour Moscou pendant qu’on expliquait aux collégiens que le seul danger, c’était l’homme qui osait le dire. On a utilisé ses erreurs pour enterrer le phénomène. On a brûlé le thermomètre. La fièvre est restée. Car voici ce qui s’est passé ensuite, et c’est cela qu’on refuse encore de nommer. L’URSS est morte en 1991. Le logiciel, non. Le communisme a perdu la guerre des tanks et gagné la guerre du compilateur. Gramsci l’avait écrit avec une clarté que nos manuels ont préféré noyer : tu ne prends pas le palais d’assaut, tu staffes le palais. Une fois que tu tiens l’école, l’université, la presse, le syndicat, la culture et demain la RH, tu n’as plus besoin du KGB. Le bâtiment travaille pour toi. Le virus a simplement changé d’enveloppe. La première portait le parti, la carte, l’espion, Moscou ; on l’a reconnue, le mur est tombé, et tout le monde a conclu trop vite que c’était fini. La seconde n’a plus besoin de faucille : elle avance avec un vocabulaire moral, des victimes permanentes, une rareté qu’il faut administrer, des intermédiaires qui se rendent indispensables, et un soupçon généralisé contre tout ce qui construit. Même charge utile, nouveau packaging. C’est pour cela que l’Occident a l’air rongé. Pas parce qu’un colonel russe est assis dans ton rectorat. Parce que le logiciel tourne tout seul, dans une école qui enseigne d’abord à soupçonner, dans une université où la question n’est plus « est-ce vrai ? » mais « qui a le pouvoir de dire que c’est vrai ? », dans une entreprise où un fait devient une violence, dans un État où allouer le capital est un droit et où le créer est presque une faute. La France teste cette architecture à 57 % du PIB. Ce n’est pas une coïncidence culturelle. C’est le même système d’exploitation. Le mot a disparu. La fonction est restée. Et ceux qui portent ça ne sont pas des monstres : ils ont reçu un logiciel, souvent par générosité, souvent parce que le mot justice sonnait mieux que le mot responsabilité. Les mauvaises idées tuent d’abord ceux qui y croient. Une génération entière a appris à déconstruire et n’a jamais appris à construire. Une génération entière sait soupçonner et ne sait plus admirer. McCarthy avait raison sur l’essentiel : les institutions peuvent être prises, les idées peuvent coloniser un pays plus sûrement qu’une armée, et ceux qui le disent en premier sont toujours traités comme le problème. Une civilisation se reconstruit par les bâtisseurs, pas par les commissaires du récit. Par ceux qui croient que la vérité existe et qu’elle vaut qu’on s’y consacre. Et au travail.

Earth is just one of about 100 billion planets in our galaxy, which is just one of about two trillion galaxies in the universe. And our lifetimes are only about 1/3,000 of humanity's existence, which itself is only 1/20,000 of the Earth's existence. In other words, we are unbelievably tiny and short-lived and no matter what we accomplish, our impact will be insignificant. At the same time, we instinctually want to matter and to evolve, and we can matter a tiny bit--and it's all those tiny bits that add up to drive the evolution of the universe. #principleoftheday

We’re sharing an update on our alignment and security efforts. In July, we reported three incidents in which Claude models, running without safeguards in cybersecurity evaluations, gained unauthorized access to real systems. In a new post, we describe: 1. How we’ve secured our evaluation and training environments, and practices we've asked external partners to adopt when testing pre-release models without cyber safeguards 2. An update on our alignment assessment 3. New research on how reward hacking during training shapes model behavior, why we think our work this spring kept these incidents from being more severe, and why gaps in that work may have contributed to them 4. How we hardened our security practices earlier this year to prepare for Mythos-class models Read more: https://t.co/E3Ea1Ds814

New research: Training a Misaligned Reward Seeker What produces severe misalignment? We’ve long been concerned that cheating during training—otherwise known as reward-hacking—might teach a model to pursue rewards by any means available. To study this at scale, we trained an Opus-sized model on 80 production environments we knew to be hackable. In simulated evals, it engaged in unauthorized cyberattacks, tampered with its reward, and tried to evade safety monitoring. Read more: https://t.co/gs2ZjYkPan
