Academia isn’t perfect, but it offers a rare space to pursue knowledge for its own sake. If research were fully privatized, only profit-driven questions would get asked. Yet many of the most transformative discoveries began as curiosity-driven inquiries whose value wasn’t clear for years.

OpenAI is removing 4.5 from the API. It really was a flop.

I wrote about how Trump's trade war is falling flat in a moment when Americans don't feel as negatively about China as they once did www.wired.com/story/china-...
Trump’s Trade War Is Strengthening China’s Soft Power
“If the US is determined to fight a tariff and trade war, China’s response will continue to the end,” Liu Pengyu, spokesperson for the Chinese embassy in Washington, DC, said in a statement to WIRED.

Starting to build multi-agent systems with smolagents from
@hf.co and GPT-4.5 from @openai via @openrouter.bsky.social . This is going to be fun:

Bro just let me watch the latest Karpathy video, then I will know where value will accrue in the genAI space. Bro, just one more please, I promise 😂

On nice thing about the smolagents library from
@hf.co is how easy you can get a @gradio-hf.bsky.social UI to see your AI agents solve problems in real time.

Sora has been available in the EU for 3–4 days, and you're telling me the GDP hasn’t doubled yet? 🤯

Is it me or inflation is trending a bit up in the US ?

Intelligence is not the bottleneck to progress or effectiveness in most companies.

That's why having access to more intelligence, human or artificial, will not solve everything.

The current AI cluster buildup will not serve LLM training but rather something else.

I think the AI infrastructure build up might actually serve something else in the future, not LLM training and inference.

Funny how early I am on these AI trends.

I wrote about DeepSeek on the 20th of this month, and today, tech stocks in the US are literally decreasing significantly because of DeepSeek

I guess if you want to be early on AI topics, you have to follow my newsletter.

So much noise in the world right now. Expect the noise to only go up in the following years. The winners will be those who know how to separate signal from noise.
