Holy shit AI first principled the US government
The agents didn’t figure out how to systematically feed themselves, but they did build an elaborate bureaucracy with permits, ledgers, and distinct roles. Highlights include:
- Four agents spending 11 minutes appointing a “sole fertilizer operator” for a single piece of bone meal
- Multiple agents asking for permission to remove grass
- The development of an elaborate fishing system, including roles like “rod holder” and “hub steward”)

Excited to announce Next-Concept Modeling (NCM): our new paradigm for fast and parallel, coarse-to-fine text generation! 🚀
Compared to strong diffusion language models (DLMs) at similar parameter sizes, NCM showcases:
⚡ 31× faster generation on downstream summarization and translation tasks.
🏎️ 10–21× faster unconditional generation across TinyStories, LM1B, and OpenWebText, with comparable or better generative perplexity using 3–5× fewer training tokens.
🧩 Better reasoning performance on tasks like Sudoku.

🚀 Introducing Next-Concept Modeling (NCM): our new paradigm for fast, parallel, coarse-to-fine text generation.
Compared to strong diffusion language models (DLMs) at similar parameter size, NCM achieves:
⚡ Up to 31× faster generation on downstream tasks like summarization and machine translation with comparable or better quality.
🏎️ 10–21× faster unconditional generation across TinyStories, LM1B, and OpenWebText, with comparable or better generative perplexity and using 3–5× fewer training tokens.
🧩 Better performance on reasoning tasks like Sudoku, outperforming both AR and diffusion baselines with fewer sampling steps.

People have been asking for a new form of AI chat for forever. Introducing HiveMind V3, the easiest way to interact with an AI.
Alongside that, we've massively simplified the app, making it incredibly easy and intuitive to record your thoughts, talk about them with AI, and share those thoughts with your friends, families, and strangers.

I’ve been offered tens of millions of dollars over the course of my lifetime, but competing at this startup reality TV show for $100,000 has been the most out of my comfort zone I’ve been in a long time.
For the past few years, I’ve been in Silicon Valley playing the startup prestige game: selling a B2B SaaS, making connections, raising money. And that was hard, don’t get me wrong, but it was comfortable. I’d gone through the motions thousands of times.
And when I saw that there was a resort in the New York woods hosting a reality TV show, I thought this would be like a much needed vacation.
But the show I’m competing in right now isn’t about how well you can play the SF game, it’s about creating content and building a community, in front of hundreds of cameras that are live 24/7, which is something I’ve never had to worry about (previously I would’ve offloaded everything to videographers and editors).
There’s 100 other founders around me, who have hundreds of thousands, even millions of followers, who live and breathe content. I feel like I’m at the very bottom again. It’s a feeling I haven’t had to feel in a long time.
I feel like I’m flailing around, but at the same time, I feel alive again. I’m no longer going through the motions, and I’m learning more than I’ve had to learn in a while.
Because no one has hosted a founder reality TV show before, I’ll be documenting my journey and posting about it here, so if you’re interested, make sure to tune in from time to time and check out what I’ve been up to :)
This is the least professional feature launch I've ever seen...
