The NCSC is encouraging UK organisations to prepare for immediate updating of systems using PHP. Where immediate remediation is not feasible, organisations should consider taking the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. For more⬇️ ncsc.gov.uk/news/critical-se…

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/)

we are blessed with beautiful minds and beautiful ai thankful to live through such times.
We'll be spending a lot more time trying to understand the outputs of language models. A few thoughts, tips & tricks: Writing. Something I've had success with: Ask your LLM to explain something in ASD-STE100, it's a controlled language specification originally developed for aerospace maintenance documentation. LLMs well-versed in this language and it comes with heavy constraints on clean writing style that I often find a lot more readable. Sometimes I've tried to soften it a bit e.g. ask for "80% of the way to ASD-STE100" because the spec is quite stringent. But even better: Diagrams / images. Instead of writing, ask your LLM to create a diagram. These can be a lot easier to process, parse, and understand. But even better: Web pages. Ask for output "in HTML" to get a beautiful, interactive webpage. LLMs are getting really good at frontend and can create beautiful experiences, animations, etc. But even better: Explainer videos. The output format I am most bullish on is fully custom / bespoke explainer videos generated on any arbitrary topic. Experiment with things like "Create a 3b1b style video explainer on X. Use my ElevenLabs API key for audio narration". (you'd need an API key for the latter or you can ask your LLM to find you decent free alternatives that use your local compute). This is actually starting to work! In summary: - As LLMs get better, they will do more and more of the legwork autonomously, and a lot more of our work will rise up the abstractions into oversight and understanding. - Luckily, LLMs can help here too because as intelligence and code are increasingly abundant, you can ask for large, custom, discardable software artifacts (e.g. web apps, video explainers) that would have never made sense to create before. Push the boundaries here and you'll be surprised.

UK tungsten projects are increasingly getting the attention of the US government. #SML has now secured $9.25m of US Government funding for Redmoor, taking the project through PFS, DFS and towards FID. The funding is non-dilutive in nature. But #SML still has to fund its share of the programme. Importantly, the funding comes with no restrictions on future offtakes or funding. The interesting part is that, this is following very similar path to #TUN. The management today confirmed that US-linked supply chain and offtake discussions are already in progress, while further UK domestic support discussion is also being explored. Redmoor is still a much earlier stage opportunity, but it does look like both the UK and US are starting to put real money behind more than one UK tungsten project.

After co-inventing ChatGPT, I kept asking myself: why have superhuman chat models not led to AGI? I’ve spent the last 2 years in stealth building a new way to train models (RLCD), and a new type of frontier AI model that we are releasing today: Jev • 20-200x faster • 40-400x cheaper (w/ output tokens free) • Frontier composable intelligence optimized for decisions AFAICT the shortest path to AI-based economic revolution

Redmoor RNS Breakdown #SML #Tungsten Redmoor’s extensive infill drilling programme - at 22,500m - the largest, continuous, diamond drilling programme from surface delivered in Cornwall, has reached 5,000m drilled to date. Passing the total meters drilled in our highly successful 2025 drill programme. With 3 rigs onsite, rhe programme is on schedule and within budget, and to date has reported positive results from 3 holes, with many more to come. Completed holes to date have all intersected the Sheeted Vein System deposit as planned and @CornwallRes’s geologist have visually logged mineralisation consistent with Redmoor’s high-grade nature - results pending. Other programme activities continue, with more commencing, aimed at contributing to Redmoor’s prefeasibility study. Link to RNS: polaris.brighterir.com/publi…
