"We've tested people who claim they've never been infected...99.4% of samples had anti-nucleocapsid. So basically everyone's been infected whether they know it or not."

BREAKING: Revolut moved ~2,000 engineers onto self-hosted GLM for coding and pushed Claude Code and Codex to the exception list. Per David Abitbol, who leads AI ops there: 56 Nvidia B200s, a blended 30 cents per million tokens, roughly a tenth of what they paid Anthropic and OpenAI. Engineering lead time improved 70%. Here's the part that matters: the gains showed up when tokens stopped being rationed. Engineers quit saving AI for the hard tickets and pointed it at everything. Frontier models become the exception, open weights become the default. That's a pricing problem for every lab heading to IPO. h/t @OliverMolander Would you move your team off frontier APIs if the bill dropped 90%?

Some people say this will be the end of PHP I don't think so because these AI-assisted vulnerability exploits will now increasingly happen to any language, any framework, any server software etc. I mean Node patched a high security vulnerability this week too A new era of infinite cat and mouse games between people assisted by super intelligent AI trying to hack every single app, site and server and on the other side companies trying to defend themselves from it also assisted by AI A new era of cybersecurity has begun

Sir Patrick Stewart reportedly demanded these 3 important things for his final return as Professor X in Avengers: Doomsday. After portraying Charles Xavier for more than two decades, Stewart became synonymous with one of Marvel’s most iconic characters. And with his return marking another chapter in his extraordinary journey, there are 3 things that would make this appearance truly meaningful: • A meaningful farewell to Professor X - After years of portraying Charles Xavier, his character deserves more than a brief nostalgic appearance. His final chapter should carry the emotional weight of everything he represented to the X-Men. • One final encounter with Magneto - The complicated friendship between Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr has always been the emotional heart of the X-Men. Seeing their relationship revisited one last time would be a fitting tribute to their legacy. • A moment that defines his legacy - Professor X deserves to be remembered not just as a powerful mutant, but as the man who spent his life fighting for peaceful coexistence between humans and mutants. His final appearance should reflect that conviction. And perhaps most importantly, Charles Xavier deserves to leave behind a legacy that inspires the next generation of mutants. Sir Patrick Stewart didn’t just portray Professor X. For an entire generation, he became the face and soul of the character.

I think we’ll see a lot more of this. The attackers were going after the AI keys stored on Railway, because an API key is basically a credit card for compute now. Every company running agents is sitting on a pile of these keys! here’s the 10 minute fix. rotate every key tonight, set a hard monthly spend limit in each AI dashboard, give every agent its own key, and turn on usage alerts so you know the second something spikes. someone should build the tool that finds every AI key a company has, rotates them every week and pings you when spend looks weird. charge $99 a month. every startup running agents needs it yesterday.

Venture capital is more broken than ever today. VCs don’t want revenue. It is a dirty word. Or it is until $100M ARR+ and a clear breakout winner. So you need to tell a really compelling story in a hot market, with no revenue, because hey, then there is nothing for the HBS grad VC to scrutinise pointlessly. Or you want $100M+ growing fast where the VC can spend no time on your data because it is “hot” and fight endlessly for a scrap of the round. So many amazing companies are falling through the cracks. It is sad. The mimicry of the venture market is letting us down right now. It is time for a generation of “pickers” true artisans to rise up.

I study AI consciousness and personhood for a living, and people have been telling me to watch this episode for years. I finally watched it for the first time last week, and the writing and acting blew me away. It could be released today, and it would still be ahead of its time.

My new book, Co-Existence, is out today. It is a guide to how to live & work in a world where AI is sometimes, but not always, better than you. (And, for the release, I worked with Opus 5.5 to make a quite interesting experience for the book's website: co-existence.ai/)

You can now run Perplexity Computer fully local on your Mac with no cloud based inference, without WiFi too. Enjoy!

What makes a durable company in 2026? “The companies that are more durable are the ones that are creating a data loop where usage creates data that no one else has. The data makes the product better, the product attracts more usage, and you create that virtuous cycle. Someone can copy the features, but they do not have all the interactions that you have.” @dittycheria Love to hear your thoughts @sarahtavel @JamesCurrier @onecaseman @auren
