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. block.xyz/dessa

If this week’s cyberattacks have shown us anything, it’s how absolutely necessary it is for the UK to have sovereign AI capabilities. This is now urgent. In the past, the most sophisticated hacking and cyberattack work required considerable expertise, time, and resources. Nation states, intelligence agencies and rogue hacking groups had a substantial advantage - a tiny, tiny number of people. Today, AI is able to rapidly identify these vulnerabilities, so it's much easier for hostile actors to point an AI at a certain piece of software and ask it to find potential exploits - including in the software that runs many of our key institutions across the public and private sectors. It is absolutely conceivable that Britain’s hospitals, defence infrastructure, and national grid could be targeted in future cyberattacks. It's already being planned. If these were to be damaged or disabled as a result, thousands could die. If not more. It is therefore essential that we have the ability to defend ourselves - and the only way to do that is by developing AI sovereignty. Cybersecurity, and actually much of the global economy, will increasingly rely on AI. It will be an essential tool in combating these sophisticated cyberattacks, alongside skilled people and secure domestic infrastructure. As things stand, the dominant players are the US and China, but Britain is well positioned to become a serious third force in AI development. Outside the EU, we have the freedom to set our own domestic regulatory framework, and we could have some of the cheapest energy in the world if we implemented Restore Britain’s energy security strategy. We cannot afford to be beholden to a foreign power for any of the essentials of life. Food, energy, defence and, increasingly, AI. We must build our own infrastructure and train our own models. We must equip our people with the skills to build this industry. Electricians, plumbers, construction workers, and software engineers. Done right, it can bring benefits to our people, but more importantly - the steps outlined here are absolutely essential for our national security.

What the actual fuck have I just read

We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026. That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community. Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward. We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how: · Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly. · Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact. · Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security. · The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional. Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

I drink coffee every day and wake up refreshed and fine Because my sleep is great Just make sure to drink coffee before 3pm or so

My friend from Middle East about this video: "I’m afraid this is so true" "It is sooo so so true" "I just don’t understand how they have not seen it coming it’s confusing… like the entire European leadership… no clue wtf" If you say this as a European you're instantly banished from any social setting in Western Europe, which is of course why all of this is happening!

I've never seen something go so viral internally Giving teams the power to build their own bespoke collaborative tools led to a level of creativity that was honestly unhinged and super fun to watch My fav examples in the thread (reply with your own!)… xitter.cf/Superhuman/status/2112…

If you drink a pint after 5 it’s no longer cheeky

Polska nie powtórzy błędów innych europejskich państw, nie będzie też za nie płacić. Twardo bronimy granicy przed nielegalną migracją, mamy własną politykę azylową (nie przyjmujemy wniosków), deportujemy tych, którzy łamią polskie prawo. W kwestii bezpieczeństwa będziemy bezwzględni. To usłyszeli ode mnie liderzy Europy w Brukseli.

I could not imagine being productive without Claude Code Review. It runs on all of my PRs, and catches almost every bug before it goes it. This is a piece of the secret sauce that lets the team and I move so quickly while raising the quality bar
