A million hours of what? If we’re scaling human demonstrations for robot learning, what should each hour contain? We built S1, our skill capture glove, alongside our robot hand to record joint movements that map to robot targets, with touch and video on the same timeline.

This is why I'm so bullish on @listendotmoney. Set up all your conditions and then have the freedom to go touch grass.

As more of the world turns to trading, the expectation can't be that you have to sit in front of your screen 24/7 to have edge. As we saw the rise of vibecoding, we will see the rise of trading assisted by super intelligence--vibetrading. This concept has been on everyone's mind for a while, but there was a lack of execution that I think @liqsweep and @clarrrentt can change with their obsessive work ethic and deep backgrounds in AI and Crypto. Drop a comment or dm and I'll get you an invite code.
The first vibe trading platform is here. Listen is a DeFi exchange with a state of the art agent to power your financial research and execution.

It's pretty clear that these universities should be underwriting student loans themselves instead of putting that weight on the tax payer.

The amount of this that is going to go to political donations for one party is going to be astounding.
We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit. It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion. In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding. In the post below, we share more details about our new fund. anthropic.com/news/public-be…

The alchemists are rolling in their graves. Born too soon.
✨🇨🇳A Chinese merchant just showed off lab-grown rubies on a livestream! They’re brighter and purer than natural ones, but the real kicker? One weighs 0.002 tons. Yes, tons! China’s industrial power is just mind-blowing!🤣🧐

One of the beautiful things of getting older and more settled is I can order every book physically instead of reading on an ereader. A life goal has always been to have built an antilibrary, as Eco puts it, before I die.

Mark Zuckerberg and Alexander Wang are clearly a dynamic duo. The other labs are probably starting to sweat. Fun times ahead. youtube.com/watch?v=XfdIhd1g…

Tokenized stocks, like stablecoins, are aligned with US hegemony. The spice will flow.

I'm more peeved at Rothfuss never releasing The Doors of Stone than R.R. Martin not finishing his series.

In the Bible, Abraham left his parents household at 75. Then founded nations. It's never too late to start.

Overall noncustodial wallet -> webapp experiences seem pretty solved now, especially compared to how janky they used to be.

I strongly think @Starknet should transition to an L1. Let's bring back the appchain thesis, it was always way more compelling than the L2 narrative. Hype also proved it can MASSIVELY work.
