We live in uncertain yet incredible times.
Since the "ChatGPT moment" two years ago, I've seen the writing on the wall as many of you have that AI will change humanity in a powerfully non-negotiable way.
Our path forward isn't to resist this change—it's to harness these extraordinary advances to elevate human potential.
Learning is the cornerstone business practice of all human development and advancement. To progress ourselves, we need to enhance and overhaul our learning system. The signal for this change has never been louder than it is today.
In my work "Learn to Adapt" I outline how we can adapt the American education system to advance ourselves in this incoming decade of AI transformation.
Read the full blueprint here -> tinyurl.com/LearntoAdapt
I'm not just sharing this as food for thought—I'm directly inviting you to join a mission through the @AdaptEducation_ project.
This rapid-development research project is funded through blockchain technology (Solana - $ADAPT). As we progress, every bit of funding drives research into methods, tools, curriculum development and more that will directly shape how AI transforms education.
Promising experiments in AI-driven education are already happening today, and we need more of them to ensure scaled and operational success across the entire US. We must fail fast and push the edge of innovation to adapt our system quickly enough to avoid the potentially catastrophic side effects of this AI revolution.
I'll continue to share my thoughts here on X about why and how we can adapt our learning system, exactly what this project will achieve, and more.
$2T never looked so compelling
What the f*ck, Anthropic? I pay 5x more for Claude Opus 5.5 than in September, and this is what I get.
In September, the $20 plan was enough. Now I’m on $100 because the $20 plan runs out.
Both videos come from the exact same prompt, and I ran it on max effort both times.
Is Anthropic secretly nerfing Claude Opus 5.5 so Claude Fable 5.5 looks better at launch?
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The above example was made using a video generation model, not Opus 5.5 or any other language model
The green & blue books in the background morph away when they are occluded then revealed again - a common video model artifact not present in 3D renders

is Opus 5.5 nerfed?
I just had Gemini 4 Argon analyze 1,400 Claude Code sessions and it found that on November 3, something definitely happened.
the model name didn't change, but the way it does reasoning took a sharp turn.
I guess if I just vibe code a really cool animation and dashboard I too can get millions of dollars in defense funding. Damn I’m in the wrong industry.

Report to your nearest freedom reeducation camp
Introducing Arete-27B: Qwen3.8-27B, post-trained to reinforce Western values.
Chinese open models are currently the strongest available, but they ship with state-aligned behavior in the weights. We built an 803-prompt eval across seven value categories, including freedom of expression, democracy, and privacy, and measured how often a model adopts China’s party line.
After fine-tuning on roughly 53 million tokens, Arete-27B's propaganda rate fell from 22% to 1%, in line with the Western models we tested. Its Hermes Bench score shows no significant performance tradeoffs.
The values in an open model are one fine-tune away.
Our eval, weights, and training data are available now along with the full blog post: nousresearch.com/arete
Codex sucks. Hermes and Claude Code are the only two serious harnesses for desktop agents IMO currently.
(Have not explored deepseek yet)
We absolutely have to provide an answer for the total lack of meaningful employment in the US. Yes.
Silicon Valley keeps celebrating how many jobs AI can eliminate.
Young Americans aren't nearly as excited.
64% of Americans ages 18–29 consider AI replacing jobs a serious threat to their financial security.
And the concern crosses political lines.
76% of young Democrats.
61% of young Republicans.
61% of young independents.
The people building AI are talking about productivity.
The people entering the workforce are worried about having a paycheck.
And additionally, if you don't understand that when you say "Banning RSI" involves banning computers and math, you don't fundamentally understand anything that you're talking about.
