Happy for the book Release: The Leader's Manifesto - Principles, Values, and Beliefs to Guide Leader Actions and Decisions. (Finally released after being 3 years under development). More books on the way. Will churn our lot faster. amazon.ca/dp/B0F95SNJDB/ref=…

Drawings, photos, renders are all something world models can "see into", world vertigo

Norway now has more than 2,000 underwater AI laser robots shooting lice off its salmon
they're made by a company called Stingray, and they already guard more than 50 million salmon and trout 24/7
the reason is sea lice, tiny parasites that latch onto salmon and feed on them
as few as 11 can kill a small fish, and one pen can hold 150,000 salmon
the usual fix is pumping the fish out and blasting them with warm water or water jets to knock the lice off
but the handling is so rough that Norway's fish health report ranks it the top cause of death in full-grown farmed salmon
so instead, Stingray puts a robot inside the pen that hunts lice one at a time, all day:
> two cameras watch every salmon that swims past
> AI checks two frames to make sure it's really a louse
> then a green laser fires from up to 2 meters away
> the salmon's scales reflect the beam, so the fish swims off fine and the louse is dead
we now live in a world where AI lasers do pest control on your dinner lmao

Matt Damon believes the Oscars should be decided 20 to 25 years after a film’s release, arguing that awards should reflect a movie’s lasting impact rather than the hype surrounding it at the time. 🎬

Weekend hack: HackerTube. I was annoyed with YouTube's recommendations so I had Claude filter down 43M comments over 20 years of HN to 6,454 videos that keep being recommended. *Significantly* better viewing experience, ~2 hours with Opus 5.5:
hackertube.org/
- Excellent recs without any logins (state is kept in local browser session)
- Thumbnail is a representative frame from middle of the video instead of the super duper A/B test hyper-optimized user uploads
- Underlying data from the comment analysis as one zip file, point your Claude at it and ask for your own version
- HackerTube Longs ✊
A bit more on the process:
I use Claude Code (desktop app for Mac), Opus 5.5 on Medium effort as my default. I only talk to Claude and have it do everything, the only "manual work" I helped with in tandem was in the browser (reminiscent of MenuGen): 1) I had to create some kind of API key from Google Cloud UI to query YouTube for video metadata, 2) I booted up a VPS box for serving and 3) I bought the domain name. Once the box was up I gave Claude the IP and told it update, secure, harden, deploy and optimize the code, and it did the whole thing.
Many awesome projects that would have normally taken weeks/months even can now be few-shotted for breakfast. What else are we not thinking of.

We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again.
Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both
Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard.
It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min.
Pre-orders are now live at:

This is f*cking insane. Nobel Prize winner and DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis:
"One person who really understands AI will outperform an entire startup team
In 5 years, the people who build with AI will run whole companies with a tenth of the headcount"
In this 1-hour talk, Hassabis explains who survives the next 5 years and who doesn't
Prompts → Agents → Workflows → Automated Departments
Understanding AI doesn't mean typing better questions into a chatbot
It means chaining agents into workflows that run entire departments on their own
95% of people still use AI like a calculator, the 5% who treat it like infrastructure will run everything
Worth more than any $2,000 AI course

The "slop" is evolving. This is my favorite music video so far.
Grok + Suno + Runway
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.
