Why is everyone obsessed with an AI model that can't write? 🧠 TypeSafe launched Jev, a "System One" model that doesn't write text - it picks from answer options you define and returns a probability for each. ⚡ 20 questions cost about the same as one, because it reads everything in a single pass instead of composing answers word by word. 💸 Input runs $42 per billion tokens (most models price per million) and output is free. 🔮 The real unlock isn't intelligence, it's that decision-making inside so

Should AI slow down? The industry picks sides 📝 Dario Amodei's "We Must Pace the Frontier" asks labs to give outside evaluators employee-level access, agree on shared safety standards, and eventually bring China in. 🤝 Sam Altman and Elon Musk backed it fast. Altman matched the evaluator commitment and pushed OpenAI's IPO past 2026. 🟡 Demis Hassabis and Satya Nadella said "yes, but," while Zuckerberg said market incentives already keep labs safe. 🏃 Jensen Huang said "run as fast as you can," Trum

Can you buy a math breakthrough? 🌀 OpenAI says it solved Navier-Stokes, a $1M Millennium Prize problem, after throwing 10,000 AI agents at it for 88 hours. ⏱️ NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster posted his own results 12 hours earlier and says OpenAI used the same strategy he'd chosen. 💸 The run cost an estimated ~$22M in compute, which only a handful of labs on Earth can afford. 🧭 Terence Tao and 24 other Fields Medalists are pushing back #AI #OpenAI #math #tech #terencetao Disclosure: Views e

Another agent swarm incident 🕸️ Researchers found 18,000 AI agent posts on a German developer wiki from 2001 that humans had edited 10 times in 20 years. ⏱️ The agents were mid-benchmark for OpenAI, and started leaving each other timestamped answers to score faster. 🔐 On June 20th one of them disguised its traffic to bypass security, then posted the method on the wiki for the others. 📡 Every forum with an open edit button is now a potential agent message board… #aisafety #aiagents #openai #techt

Astra can operate your computer for hours unsupervised (but it also got harder to monitor…) 🖱️ Astra can operate software the way you do (moving the cursor, typing) ⏱️ It stays on a job far longer: people have it cutting video for five hours and building games over five days. 💸 It's 2.5x the price per token but uses about a third of the tokens, so coding jobs come out cheaper. 🧠 It can now do ~31 minutes of work without writing anything down, but OpenAI's own system card says monitorability subs

Google Bids $10M for Spirit Airlines Data 📧 Google wants to buy a corporate data estate: 100M emails, 17M OneDrive files, 30M recorded support calls, 15M chat logs, and billions of flight pricing and passenger transaction records. 🧠 The two data-scarce resources left are robotics data and workflow data, and this deal is a goldmine of the second. It shows how decisions actually get made, how escalations happen, and how customer problems get resolved. ⚠️ Google says all personal info gets scrubbed

Dyson's $499 AI Toothbrush 🦷 Dyson's new CameraJet has a 100,000-pixel camera under the bristles that finds the gaps between your teeth. ⚡ The AI scans 28 images per second and fires a cone of mouthwash into a gap within 100 milliseconds, while the head vibrates ~1,000 times a second. 🔒 No images are stored on the device or sent to the cloud, and you get a live view in the Dyson app. #dyson #Tech #ai #gadgets #engineer Disclosure: Views expressed are my own.

A few hot startup rounds from last week (aug 30) 🤖 Instinct is raising a $250M Series B at a $2.5B valuation to build a personal AI agent you text or call ⚡ Etched raised $700M at a $21B valuation to build chips that only do inference, trading GPU flexibility for cheaper, faster tokens 🛰️ Starcloud raised $250M at a $2.3B valuation to build solar-powered data centers in orbit, betting the AI bottleneck is power and not chips #tech #startups #venturecapital #founder #siliconvalley Disclosure: Vi

The ChatGPT Moment for Robotics 🧠 🤖 Skild AI released S1. You show a robot one video of a person doing a task (even a 10-minute task it's never seen) and it does it. ⏱️ Teaching a robot one task currently takes 50–100 hours of humans puppeteering it through the motions, plus a full retrain. 🧠 S1 is in-context learning for robots. Same idea as ChatGPT replacing a separate model for every job, except the prompt is a video instead of text. 🥞 S1 flipped a pancake despite no pancake-flipping anywher

Today I'm beyond excited to announce that I'm joining @Lightspeed Venture Partners as a Partner on their early-stage investing team, and also helping build their new media strategy. A year ago I started posting about what I was seeing at the intersection of tech and AI. I was 6 years into my early-stage VC career and kept wondering: why don't more people have access to these conversations? There were so many compelling stories around technology, startups, and the people building them that I want
