Living by this for sure
Consistency beats talent. Every time. I used to think I needed to be the smartest guy in the room. Turns out showing up every single day and doing the unglamorous reps is the actual cheat code for certs, for coding, for anything hard.

Sam Altman just posted "people should always be in control of the future" and everyone's confused so here's what's going on that line he's quoting, "what AI systems think makes sense to reward in humans", is from Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's 2024 essay. Dario was listing possible futures where AI does most of the work. one was AI handing out resources to humans based on what it thinks is worth rewarding Dario called it one option with tons of possible problems. Sam posted it like it's Anthropic's master plan so basically this is a subtweet. OpenAI vs Anthropic round 2 and the funny part is this is the same week he said it's "quite terrible" your RAM sits in your own computer now he's in the replies like "i want you to have so much ram lets build more" and says it was taken out of context 😭
People should always be in control of the future. OpenAI is against the notion that it would be acceptable for people to be relegated to a role of doing things that β€œAI systems think makes sense to reward in humans”. People should not cede control of the future to superintelligence, and that requirement should ultimately constrain AI progress.

This is so true. AI agents keep getting better and we keep getting less alert to the obvious stuff. We're literally living in a time where common sense isn't common anymore. It starts small. You can plan your own day but you ask AI to do it. Then the email. Then the message. Then the flight. Those little tasks pile up and one day you're fully dependent. I once went outside just to relax with no WiFi and caught myself thinking "but I can't do this or that without my AI model" bro what 😭 And I hate this narrative AI companies and AI bros are pushing that AI should take over your life am fr think about it, yeah do something you probably haven’t done today THINK... The narrative should be AI can be part of your life something you work with think with because the thing is only good as the data it was trained on which is clean and structured. Life isn't clean data. Patterns change, emotions go up and down, sometimes we do things just because. The thing is not human, remember that I still wonder how some of you end up with some ai boyfriend or girlfriend it’s a sad life man get serious or get help asap. so yeah I repeat AI should work WITH you not FOR you the repetitive tasks are obvious but some of you do too much. it’s like one tweet I saw where someone said people are using ai to basically speed up and do dumb shii really well yeah like actually becoming good at being dumb. Now you end up in a situation where you can't even do homework with your little brother or argue with your friends because you're all getting the same answer phrased differently or really simply have a good real talk like an actual conversation. Ok let’s talk about some ways to working with AI in a better way, soo - like I said last week for me typing slows my mind from rushing and helps me think through my prompt because for some tasks a good input is the one that gets you a good output. - read how the model got its answer, not just the answer. annoying but that's why most people don't get good results, I mean who wants to know how to make money most just want money lol - decide what "done" means before you start sure not every task’s end goal is known but have an idea man In short just involve yourself in process as much as you can because at the end of the day two will always be better than one, even the bible says that dude So yeah plz don't let AI take over your life or you'll become the retard meme we all laugh at.

Anthropic will pay you $350K to $500K a year to work on AI safety and you don't need an ML background. Before you apply with your hours of arguing with Claude as experience listen up "no ML background" doesn't mean "no background." It's for people who've already led big technical work like professors, technical founders, staff level engineers and whatnot. you get like: - 6 weeks, 3 months or 6 months - An Anthropic researcher as your mentor - Frontier model access and your own compute budget The deadline is Nov 22. It’s sooo crazy that even the 6 week option pays about $40K to $58K, bro that’s a full year's salary for a lot of people for one Anthropic summer camp. and of course like many other opportunities if you are not in the UK or US like San Francisco forget about it😭✌️
Applications are now open for the Anthropic Residency, a paid, fixed-term research program for academics, technical founders, and staff-level engineers who want to make AI safe and beneficial for everyone. No ML background is required. Apply by November 22: alignment.anthropic.com/2026…

me 30 seconds before presenting, smiling at my boss while silently mouthing to my glasses: "claude flip slide 4 to say the exact opposite. same font. make no mistakes"
We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again. Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard. It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min. Pre-orders are now live at: subvocal.co/preorder?utm_sou…

It’s so weird and messed up but real talk though, for people who struggle to type or speak because of an injury or disability this could be huge.

6 days ago I said typing is underrated because it forces you to think. Now YC just funded glasses that let you skip speaking so you never type again. This is a win for people who type so slowly that they hate themselves. You silently mouth words and the glasses turn them into text at 200+ words a minute. That's a student typing the whole essay 1 second before the deadline. These guys raised $1.3M for glasses that turn you into a mime Guess we're all gonna have to learn to think critically while we talk now.

OpenAI posted a short video with no model, no date and no explanation. Am guessing they tryna hop into this trend that opus 5.5 has being dominating in video editing
There are many futures. Which do you want to build?

Looks like we might actually be running AI models from space soon 😭😭 Google has this project called Project Suncatcher where they're testing the idea of putting AI chips on solar powered satellites and using sunlight to power them. And holy shii, they've already got a prototype satellite in orbit that successfully ran Gemma 4 and sent a response back to Earth. They asked it to write a haiku about space and this is what it came up with: Blue marble below TwData streams in silent grace Starlight feeds my core.
A β€˜hello world’ milestone for Project Suncatcher πŸš€ After launching our prototype satellite a few weeks ago, we’ve now successfully sent a command up to orbit, booted up the TPU, ran the prompt, and received our first complete response back on earth - a haiku!

Imagine using Claude without the 5 hour rate limit... No it's not an imagination
We're removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts.

We identified a security incident affecting a modified Claude Code VS Code extension accessed through our Cursor IDE extension marketplace, impacting at most 5,000 users. This malicious version of the extension was not developed by Anthropic. It does not impact other extensions downloaded from the cursor.com/marketplace, Grok Bot, Grok or our other SpaceXSI products. In response, we took down our extension marketplace this afternoon, worked with relevant providers to neutralize the malware, and have reinstated the marketplace after confirming there is no further risk. If affected, please review instructions in this blog post to understand how to find the malicious package and establish a path to mitigate any potential impact. We are asking all customers update to Claude Code for VS Code version 2.1.314: cursor.com/blog/claude-code-…

Me after firing my lawyer and pulling up to my court case with Claude like:
New in Claude for Legal: a gallery of ready-made artifacts for contract review, regulatory horizon scans, cite checks, and more. Start from the built-in example, add your own documents and connectors, and share it with anyone across the business.

Google just randomly dropped a new Gemini 4 model called Carbon out of nowhere…. This one actually looks promising
Introducing Gemini 4 Carbon, it's a big jump over Argon which we released just 2 weeks ago. Gemini 4 Carbon is SOTA on cyber, long horizon tasks, ranks #1 on Artificial Analysis V5, significantly improves on usability in domains like coding, and is more aligned.

I look forward to the day Anthropic posts a success story about how Claude helped me build a successful company. I really look forward to that day. 🀞

It’s been over a month since Opus 5.5 dropped, and this is genuinely the most beautiful, breathtaking, finger licking good model this world has ever seen 😭πŸ”₯ Probably one of the most positively received models in this competitive space. Other models could barely make it a week before something new took over, but this baby? THIS BABY KICKS ASS. What a time to be alive to experience this majestic model. A rare package of frontier level intelligence. Gemini 4 Argon couldn’t even make a dent on it
Introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5.

Someone just folded the iPhone Duo 75,000+ times and it gave up πŸ’€πŸ˜­ The $2,000+ foldable iPhone which launched in late October 2026, is being put through a live β€œGreat Folding Test” by Polish tech YouTuber Kuba Klawiter. Volunteers take hourly shifts folding a real retail unit by hand until it breaks or hits 1 MILLION folds. 75,000 folds was all it took for the iPhone Duo. πŸ’€
