Last week, I subscribed to Starlink on a whim, but my property management company wouldn’t allow me to install it (I live in Tokyo), so I had to cancel the order and ask for a refund
The interesting thing is that the whole process was handled by my Grok Bot. From confirming with my property management company whether I could install Starlink to opening a ticket with Starlink for the return and refund, I barely had to open Gmail or the Starlink app/website. I just talked to my Grok Bot
I mean, even though none of this is particularly difficult, it would still be quite annoying to have to read through the policies of both my apartment and Starlink, write emails in Japanese to communicate with the property management company, and then deal with Starlink customer support in English
But with my Grok Bot, the total amount of time I personally spent on the whole thing was probably less than 30 minutes
I believe personal agents will gradually become part of everyone’s daily life, just like smartphones did

A kid who knows how to raid in WoW is unironically a better hire than 99% of non gamers. They develop team skills, coordination, leadership, how to master the respect of 40 people, how to share loot, maintaining a raid schedule, showing up on time, clear direct communication, how to get along with unique personalities, creating and executing on strategies, failing and trying again (perseverance), delayed gratification, etc. Invaluable skills are developed during raiding that are transferrable to the real world.
Has anyone used both Muse and Grok Bot? What's the difference, and which one do you prefer? 🤔
Museって日本のApp Storeでいつ使えるようになるんでしょうか？
can't wait to play with my Microduck.
We have a huge news to share today!
Today we are unveiling the first truly accessible RL robot - welcome Microduck
A 25 cm tiny open-source biped with 15 actuators and packed with sensors (camera, speaker, LiDAR, NFC, bluetooth, wifi, etc) that you train yourself with reinforcement learning.
It's also playable out of the box with more than half a dozen fun and playful pre-trained policies to have it walk, sit, crouch, roller-skate, pick up objects with its articulated beak, and recover on its own.
And all for less than $400.
See all the details, play with the simulator and order it at: pollen-robotics.com/microduc…

Reading history, I've always been frustrated by pages full of place names that meant nothing to me — I could follow the events but never see the ground.
Lately I've been reading Plutarch's Parallel Lives, so over the weekend I built a Reading Companion with Claude Code, using open-source data from around the web, map on one side and history on the other, so the text and the terrain can finally be read together.
The whole thing was built end to end by Claude Code, including the video below.
As the saying goes: 「其方輿之鄉導乎？方輿其史之圖籍乎？」 — "Is history not the guide through geography? Is geography not the charts and registers of history?"
Have a look if you're curious. If enough friends sign up for the waitlist, I'll maintain this project long-term.

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
