Some of us have been working this way with custom agent infra for the past 9 months
Introducing Projects, a new way of working in Cursor.
Rather than creating a chat for every task, you work with a coordinator agent in a single, persistent thread.
Like @bot, your agent is always on, proactively manages work with subagents, and improves over time.

To summarize: HuggingFace got autonomously compromised by a model from an American company. HF then tried to use American frontier model(s) to defend themselves, but were blocked by guardrails. HF then had to turn to open source Chinese models to defend themselves from another American company.
We're partnering with @huggingface to investigate an unprecedented security incident.
Cyber-capable OpenAI models compromised Hugging Face production during a benchmark evaluation.
Sharing preliminary findings to help defenders understand emerging risks:

The endgame is very, very, very obvious to me.
US companies pool compute and resources, and train Open Weight models, and then share them.
I mean, consider that foundation models will likely cost $1T by 2032.
Let's just cut to the chase and start building that free enterprise coalition today.
Then all the individual labs can finetune and RL the foundation models for their specific chatbots and safety needs.
So you'll still have ChatGPT and Claude and Gemini and Grok flavored models. And you'll also have distillations of all of them. A veritable library of open weight foundation models for all scales.

The Chinese models are distilling off American models… my guess is American models can’t legally do this without being sued by Chinese AI companies in American courts .. 🤔.. and distilling a Chinese model is really theft from an American company…
What should American AI and IP policy be here?
If distillation isn’t enforced against, then everyone should be able to distill from everyone else.. otherwise one arm tied behind American models’ backs.
Maybe systems need to get better at preventing distillation techniques, and problem solves itself?

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Most real-time AI traffic isn't steady. It's spiky and cyclical. Size a fixed GPU endpoint for the average and spikes blow past it; size it for the peak and you're paying for idle capacity.
That's the gap we built dedicated serverless to fill: a private endpoint with consistent latency that scales with your spikes, billed per token. You only pay for what you use. parasail.io/blogs/serverless…

The anti data center sentiment is truly getting out of control. These people find such creative ways of making energy sound scary.

Which is the stochastic parrot, the thing that can solve an Erdős problem, or the thing that just mindlessly repeats the same statements over and over again no matter what evidence is presented to it?

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
Facts
It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.
Congrats on the launch @diwanksingh !
Memory Store (@memorydotstore) gives your team and AI agents a shared company brain.
Your team's knowledge & decisions are scattered across slack, emails, and people's heads. Memory Store turns them into a living wiki for your agents and teammates.
Congrats on the launch, @ishitajindal17 & @diwanksingh!

Jill is 100% correct. we should absolutely evaluate, test and check-on home-school kids. if they are not performing at least as well as the worst kid in a public school then they should face the same consequences as a public school with similar performance.
so, to take an example, 23 schools in Baltimore have zero children scoring proficient in math. Because of that, those schools have faced the consequence of getting extra funding.
thus, if a homeschooler is found to have performance that bad or worse, they should also be given extra funding, I guess.

If your marriage is like this, your perfection will rival the holiest of monks.
“Never speak to your wife in a mundane way but with compliments, with respect and with much love. Tell her that you love her more than your own life, because this present life is nothing, and that your only hope is that the two of you pass through this life in such a way that in the world to come, you will be united in perfect love.
Say to her, ‘Our time here is brief and fleeting, but if we are pleasing to God, we can exchange this life for the Kingdom to come. Then we will be perfectly one both with Christ and with each other, and our pleasure will know no bounds. I value your love above all things, and nothing would be so bitter or painful to me as our being at odds with each other. Even if I lose everything, any affliction is tolerable if you will be true to me.’
Show her that you value her company, and prefer being at home to being out at the marketplace. Esteem her in the presence of your friends and children. Praise and show admiration for her good acts; and if she ever does anything foolish, advise her patiently. Pray together at home and go to Church; when you come back home, let each ask the other the meaning of the readings and the prayers. If your marriage is like this, your perfection will rival the holiest of monks.”
St John Chrysostom
