I've had many chats over the years with well meaning people who believe they will convince tech companies to support cultural institutions.

Its important to understand they view themselves as cultural institutions, and they have a point.

Less sponsors, more successors.

META attempted to buy Ilya Sutskever's  Safe Superintelligence, and also attempted to hire him, according to reporting tonight by CNBC. https://t.co/4WG5ZFV09r

The problem with trying to buy your way into the AGI race in 2025 is that top-tier AI researchers 1) are already rich, 2) think we have like 1-4 years before superintelligence, and 3) don't want to spend those years building AI companions for Instagram

So excited to share one of my white-whale projects: a fully physics-based, holographic foil shader.

Each pixel simulates a ray of light diffracting into a rainbow of waves, which add and subtract to create these incredible patterns.

Not a single gradient was used here! https://t.co/WT19UbM0jS

Sam Altman says Meta is offering $100M signing bonuses to OpenAI staff.

Not $100M annual compensation, just the signing bonus!

He clowned Meta: “that’s not how you build a great culture.” Also said none of OpenAI’s best people are leaving.

This AI talent war is crazy. https://t.co/g9fYvKNdeA

Sam is right. Paying $100M+ for top talent destroys your culture, it's not how you attract the best people. https://t.co/7bOJ1QgXR0

Mini Apps

How is the trending mini app algo different than the dev rewards algo? Noticed an update to trending and curious about how it works.

this feels directionally correct. and we are going to need new ways to counter it.

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users &amp; the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

(hint: we've been measuring productivity all wrong) https://t.co/OcHy9197tk

I worry that AI will make most people intellectually sedentary

When we no longer had to do as much manual labor thanks to new technology, we became more sedentary and baseline fitness declined

At the same time, a minority of people got fitter than ever because they exercised
