What I find interesting is that "top down" executive led AI initiatives seem to be floundering, while "bottom-up" efforts of individual contributors enhancing their work with AI are doing much better.
MIT’s NANDA initiative found that 95% of generative AI deployments fail after interviewing 150 execs, surveying 350 workers, and analyzing 300 projects. The real “productivity gains” seem to come from layoffs and squeezing more work from fewer people not AI.
MIT report: 95% of generative AI pilots at companies are failing
There’s a stark difference in success rates between companies that purchase AI tools from vendors and those that build them internally.

After reading this I gave exe.dev a shot and the combination of cheap VMs, the HTTPS proxy with passkey auth and link sharing, and the built-in LLM agent is... incredible.

Like, I know how to use each of these things individually, but combining them feels like when I first learned to script things.
Just in time software
I didn’t plan to write software in the grocery store last night. I was tired and hungry, kids in tow. My long shopping list sat in a text message. I wished I could check items off as I found them.…

- I am very optimistic about robotics "clicking" over the next few years and robots appearing basically everywhere in society
- This will have all kinds of far-reaching ramifications, as we've seen with e.g. the advent of the automobile

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar:

"Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Bless everyone who maintains the tools to download video files from proprietary players.
Multiple social media users noticed on Monday that the 60 Minutes episode was available via the Global TV app. To view the episode, viewers need to connect to the app from a Canadian IP address.

People then uploaded copies of the episode to a variety of file sharing sites and services.

Guards began beating him. Beat him until he bled. Knocked his face into the wall, broke all his teeth. No access to outdoors, no contact with relatives.

Now describing US knowledge of CECOT's torture practices, followed by footage of Trump praising those practices.

my favorite thing is demoing Claude Code to knowledge work people who are NOT in programming and watching their brain reconfigure

the wave of relief: the loss of tedium

the wave of ambition: all the projects they didn't have bandwidth to get over the finish line, suddenly front-burnerable
in 2025 the combination of the latest models and agentic harnesses like Claude Code (currently considered tools for coders) felt like a step change for software engineers and, it seems, for mathematicians as well. in 2026 this will hit every other white collar job

These cameras were not just watching cars or even license plates. They were zooming in on people's faces on the sidewalk, tracking people in parks, watching what they were looking at on their phone screens: www.404media.co/flock-expose...

you know the worst part about this whole palantir mass surveillance thing? in a world where privacy is not a thing, not allowing yourself to be tracked automatically makes you extremely suspicious

New from 404 Media: Flock exposed some of its AI-powered cameras to the internet. We know because we tracked ourselves with them. These cameras zoom in on passersby, sometimes so close we could read a random person's phone screen. Required no login to view cameras

People talking about "LLMs can't make new information" is so fucking funny. Ah yeah, AlphaZero hasn't found new chess strategies. Protein folding models don't make information.

The best part of AVs is that they won't keep their high beams on 24/7
To be clear I hope they do figure out a solution to this because I hate drivers!

the thing is: YOU don't have to be the one to figure out how to automate it for it to wind up automated

and those who can facilitate automation will have a major leg up on those who cannot

I find it interesting how the goalposts have moved. I've seen criticism of LLMs for research and such that damn the LLM for only performing at an undergraduate level.

🫨

Am I the only one who'll remark on the fact that we now have computers performing consistently at an undergrad level? HOLY SHIT.
