Packing squares seems to be having its moment, so I took a crack at it... I found 25 new square packing records using evolutionary LLM program search, similar to AlphaEvolve.

Excited to share that I've left Character AI to start a new company. I'm building a frontier AI lab and public benefit corp, bringing together work from my PhD at UC Berkeley, Google DeepMind, and Character AI. It's the culmination of my life's work at the intersection of youth empowerment and AI. We're currently in stealth and hiring our founding team, including a founding engineer and designer. If this resonates, or if someone exceptional comes to mind, please reach out or send them my way. visit eliza.cool for more roles and info on how to apply friends plz retweet for viz

Best performance of Coachella 2026. Nine Inch Nails performing with Boys Noize as Nine Inch Noize with his wife Mariqueen Maandig from How to Destroy Angels. Song is "Heresy" from The Downward Spiral album but remixed. Unc Reznor's still got it. Youngsters can't keep up.🔥

How is it that four years later, thousands of you are celebrating the anniversary of our "large boulder" Tweet?
Large boulder the size of a small boulder is completely blocking east-bound lane Highway 145 mm78 at Silverpick Rd. Please use caution and watch for emergency vehicles in the area.
