random thought: the desire to learn (compress information and generate new knowledge) is the biggest difference between living and non-living things. when the universe generate environments where learnable patterns exist and there's a reward for learning them, life begins.

If you explained agriculture to folks in SF, you'd blow so many minds. It's... self-replicating, recursively self-improving nanotech for the physical world. And it's all open-source!
One instance can turn into hundreds of seeds, that turn into hundreds of instances. Next thing you know you have trillions of them. It's super-exponential

The seventh edition of our Top 100 Consumer AI Apps is here.
New this time: a revenue leaderboard, alongside the usual web and mobile traffic rankings.
Three years ago we published the first edition. ChatGPT was #1, Claude was unranked, and the entire category was chatbots, image generators, and not much else.
In today's edition:
- ChatGPT still holds the throne, now with 1B+ monthly actives on mobile
- Claude has climbed to #3 on web with nearly 1B monthly visits
- The category has expanded to vibe coding (Lovable, Cursor, Replit), music (Suno), design (Figma), voice (ElevenLabs), video (Higgsfield, Kling), agents (Manus), and even hardware (Plaud)

I asked Claude Opus 5.5 to explain how a rocket engine works by building an interactive Raptor 3 you can take apart in your browser.
Cut it open, follow the oxygen and the methane through both turbopumps, then throttle it and watch the shock diamonds move.

The current wave of AI technology will not lead to mass unemployment. In fact, its impact on the labor market should be minimal, consisting mostly of increasing demand for software engineers.
