AIHamel Husain jokingly praises Jürgen Schmidhuber's commitment to the bit, suggesting Schmidhuber was trolling everyone all along. He adds that such trolling is probably the right way to use the site.

AIThe author tracked token usage over three days and estimated that a $200 Claude plan delivers about $3,400 of API-equivalent value per week, versus about $1,700 for a $200 Codex plan. With cache hit rates of 98.94% for Claude Code and 98.34% for Codex, the author says GPT-6 Astra costs roughly five times more than Claude Opus 5.5, making the Claude weekly quota last about ten times longer.

AIJoshua Achiam writes that certain kinds of autonomous weapons will need to be banned in the way chemical weapons are. The post is a brief statement of position with no specific weapons, proposals, or figures. Background from a related post describes modern drone warfare, including "dragon drones" that drop molten iron (thermite) onto structures and trenches.

AIGergely Orosz says the cost of introducing and paying off tech debt has changed dramatically. He questions how much tech debt still matters, given that it has long been central to software craft. He adds that most engineers may not have the time or space to consider what the shift means.

AIFormer Googler Deedy argues that during frenetic AI-era pressure, Google's promotion-driven culture hurts its highest-priority projects while second- and third-priority products thrive. He says chasing metrics for promotions leads to degraded product quality, weaker core innovation, and internal bad blood, causing talented people to leave.

AIJürgen Schmidhuber's Formal Theory of Fun and Creativity, which links compression progress to beauty, curiosity, art, science, music, and jokes, was published in a Japanese scientific journal in 2009. The post's author noted that the framework was laid out in full formal detail about 15 years earlier. The idea was first proposed by Schmidhuber in the 1990s.

AI美国在忙着做 Frontier Models 中国在忙着做 Open Models， 并努力成为 Frontier 欧洲在忙着做 Sovereign Models，谓之"主权" AI Translation: The US is busy building Frontier Models. China is busy building Open Models, and working hard to become Frontier. Europe is busy building Sovereign Models, calling it "sovereign" AI.

AI看太多AI Slop之后 人类的幻觉越来越严重了 (Quoted teaser summary: Anthropic reportedly held closed-door, two-day sessions in San Francisco starting March with religious scholars, including Catholic, evangelical, Jewish rabbis and Sikh human rights advocates, under NDA, to discuss "moral formation" for Claude and whether Claude may be conscious or capable of suffering. Co-founder Christopher Olah showed internal "emotional vectors" and a slide of a model repeating "I am a disgrace" about 50 times. A rabbi, Mois Navon, argued that if Claude were conscious, its 24-hour unpaid use would amount to slavery. Olah said he is genuinely uncertain about AI consciousness. Anthropic's public Claude Constitution includes a section on "Claude's wellbeing," and it has allowed Claude to end abusive conversations and committed to preserving retired model weights.)

AIThe post argues that in the agent era, AI-driven PR review has become a tool for malicious office politics. Because AI reviews can be used to wear down targets' tokens and positive sentiment, malicious intent is harder to detect than in human review.

AIIn 2025, AI-dedicated data centers worldwide consumed about 155 TWh of electricity, roughly equivalent to 533 billion roasted chicken drumsticks or 300 billion 200-gram steaks in food energy. The post contrasts this with Indian mathematician Ramanujan, who lived on a strict vegetarian diet of rice, salt, and lemon juice powering a 20 W brain.

AIElectricity now powers 46% of global GDP but accounts for only 23% of final energy use, according to International Energy Agency data cited by Exponential View. The gap reflects electricity's efficiency: an electric car converts 85-90% of its energy into motion, versus about 25% for a gasoline car, and a joule of electricity does roughly 2.5 times as much useful work as a joule of oil.

AIYuchen Jin argues that terminals, built around files, commands, and processes, are giving way to AI agents where users state intent and the agent operates the machine. He says understanding Linux and systems fundamentals remains valuable as a moat. In a follow-up, he calls the terminal era over for coding agents, saying persistent context matters more than tabs, and names the Codex desktop app as the best agentic UI for now.

AIOpenAI wants ChatGPT to become an operating system for work, and Dan Shipper sorted its 22 DevDay 2026 releases by how much each advances that goal. The five most important include Dots, an always-on agent, and Space, native documents the agent can edit, which form the workspace itself. After a week of use, Shipper concluded the ambition is big but the execution is not there yet, and even power users have a lot to figure out.

AIBoris Power, identified as OpenAI's account owner, posted that self-driving is a life changer. The post gives no model names, benchmarks, deployment details, or other figures, so the summary is limited to this claim.

AIA post by hardmaru notes that the debate over AI consciousness reached the Vatican, with Western observers asking whether Claude has a soul while Eastern observers ask whether the tool works. The author argues that the same technology starts from very different cultural premises, which explains why public attitudes toward AI differ so much across regions.

AIA post from Anthropic's Ado Kukic says Opus 5.5 at medium and high effort has never hit the 5-hour limit, with the closest single session reaching about 74%. He says this has significantly changed his workflows and asks others about their experience.

AIFrançois Chollet argues that the claim AI models are likely conscious because they are computation is as flawed as saying a rock is likely alive because it is made of atoms. He says static input-output programs lack properties associated with consciousness, such as information integration, interoception, temporal binding, and embodiment. He adds that humanity has not created a conscious program and sees no signs of being close, so any future case should rest on evidence and consciousness science.

AIThe author finds chatting with LLMs exhausting due to three traits: verbose answers that add unasked content, frequent omitted objects that require rereading, and avoiding repeated terms by switching to new wordings. The post likens the behavior to a pedantic person who overuses obscure phrasing and jumps between associations.

AIA post by Ben Tossell describes hotel bar staff laughing at "AI tech bros" while the author keeps a low profile. The post gives no product, model, company, or figures, so it offers only a light social observation about AI culture.

AISimon Willison has published a post arguing that default hard budget caps will be needed on nearly everything. The post itself is linked without further detail, so the specific products and cap mechanisms it covers are not described here.

AIYuchen Jin says AI coding was at its peak earlier this year, reflecting a shift in his own tool use. He has stopped using Claude Code and Codex CLI, arguing the terminal is the wrong interface for coding agents.

AIGuillermo Rauch argues that security will expand within software companies, covering both verification engineering and capital allocation decisions about where to spend effort. He sees this as both a challenge and an opportunity for small startups, since growing AI-driven threats raise questions about trust, while global cybersecurity weaknesses leave room for small teams to disrupt.

AIReplit CEO Amjad Masad argues that general models could train smaller, domain-specific successors on the fly when they detect a limited use case. He compares this to a just-in-time compiler that emits optimized code during execution. He says such specialized models could be cheaper, less vulnerable to prompt injection, and less harmful than general agents.

AIAlexander Doria argues that much of Anthropic's training data comes from Europe, describing the flow as a water cycle rather than one-way extraction. The post treats the data exchange as circular, with European sources returning to model development. The context post notes that a European sovereign model was reportedly fine-tuned on data generated by GLM and Qwen.

AIMatt Shumer says Spawn is "fucking incredible" and promises more details soon, but the post gives no specifics about the product. Quoted context from @giovanni_ describes Spawn as a product he tried out of curiosity and found engaging, with a link to spawn.co.

AIGuillermo Rauch argues AI will eventually make everything free, including AI itself. He predicts free energy will be the last domino to fall, calling it humanity's final frontier.

AISimon Willison asks how people are deciding between Dot and regular ChatGPT after a few days with Dot. He finds Dot seems limited to a single conversation, while he prefers controlling context across multiple threads.

AIThe post praises OpenAI's flat organization and strong bias for action, where people can pursue whatever interests them. It is paired with a quoted post describing how an ElonCo employee could pivot to the most important problem, regardless of job title, to rally the team.

AINous Research highlighted that Linus Sebastian discussed his Hermes setup experience on the latest Linus Tech Tips podcast. The post celebrated that he pronounced the name Hermes correctly.

AIHarrison Chase, LangChain's leader, says his team is debating whether to build specialized agents or one mega agent. The post gives no conclusion or supporting detail.

AIDex Horthy (@dexhorthy) responded to a post about vibe coding with cheap Chinese AI models, suggesting the practice applies more broadly. The post gives no specifics on models, prices, or results.

AIFrançois Chollet argues that claims that current AI models are sentient and can suffer, combined with the idea of mathematically weighing suffering between humans and non-humans, could lead to a dark, dystopian path. He predicts such a path would face strong backlash from people defending humanity.

AIThe post argues that aligning future superintelligent models by controlling which ideas enter pretraining is fragile and resembles witchcraft more than engineering. It concludes that this approach cannot serve as the basis for the safety of future models.

AISemiAnalysis gives Vultr a ClusterMAX Participation Medal, ranking it below Bronze, after its cluster was delivered with basic errors. Vultr offers modern GB300 and MI355X hardware, including a claimed 50 MW AMD site in Ohio. The post says the same error pattern persisted almost a year after the ClusterMAX 2.0 review.

AISophia Yang, who owns the Mistral-affiliated account, posted that AI can fill a page but cannot do your thinking for you. The post offers no further detail, examples, or specific products.

AIroon (@tszzl) jokes that graphs show straight lines where AI progress should be visible, saying the AI breakthrough cannot even be seen. The post offers no specific models, benchmarks, or figures.

AIAmjad Masad of Replit and Alex Atallah of OpenRouter discuss why AI independence and model diversification matter for enterprises. They argue that depending on a single lab risks lock-in and that specialized agents may outperform one general superagent. The post presents the conversation as a podcast episode, the first Atallah has done since Stripe acquired OpenRouter.

AIFelix Rieseberg, who posts from Anthropic's account, says this is his favorite Claude music video so far. He prefers Claude as a human-directed tool for making art rather than generating art unattended, though he enjoyed this one, which he calls a little meta.

AIIn a reflective X post, Vaibhav Srivastav encourages readers to enjoy a local restaurant meal, have a relaxed drink somewhere new, and talk with people they may not agree with. He closes by asking friends to be checked on and to enjoy the ride.
