God was the first vibe coder. “Let there be light.” No design doc. No tests. No staging environment. Just shipped the universe directly to production.

Picture an executive a taco company saying this sort of thing about a new brand of tacos coming onto the market, speculating about the geopolitical and societal disruptions they anticipate as a result of advances in tacos.

how small can you make a world model? we built mira mini, the first reproduction of mira: •⁠ ⁠reproduced in a week from scratch •⁠ ⁠four players, one shared rocket league match, in the browser •⁠ ⁠distilled to 364m params, weights, code, full report: all open. play it here ↓

it’s surprising to me how many people seem to not understand that great models are built with super high quality curated data finding novel ways to create / get this data is a huge edge

I have been thinking about the famous chart showing how experts keep projecting linear growth in solar installations, year after year, and always get it wrong when growth is still exponential. I think the same thing is happening with the discourse on product strategy around AI.

In the future, there will be "Latent Space Archaeologists" who investigate the model weights of the 21st century to reconstruct a long extinct culture.

Despite 3 years of progress, AI is still worse than me at stuff I understand, but unfathomably brilliant outside my area of expertise. Wonder why this is

You don’t need permission, just a smartphone. I made this a couple years ago (source code on my GitHub) and it does the same thing: alzheimersbuddy.com/
In 2011, a neuroscientist at MIT named Dr. Li-Huei Tsai made a discovery that should have been on the front page of every newspaper on Earth. She exposed mice with advanced Alzheimer's disease to a flickering light pulsing at exactly 40 Hz — forty flashes per second. Nothing else. No drugs. No surgery. Just light at a specific frequency. Within one hour, the amyloid-beta plaques in their brains — the protein deposits that define Alzheimer's — began to dissolve. Not slow. Not gradually. Within sixty minutes. After seven days of daily 40 Hz exposure, plaque levels dropped by 50%. The mice regained memory function. Their neurons began firing in synchrony again. The brain's immune cells — microglia — activated and started clearing the toxic buildup like a cleaning crew that had been asleep for years. The study was published in Nature. The most prestigious scientific journal on the planet. Peer-reviewed. Replicated. Confirmed. That was 2016. It is now 2026. 40 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's. The pharmaceutical industry generates $13 billion per year from Alzheimer's drugs that do not reverse the disease. Not one of them. They slow it. Maybe. Temporarily. At $26,000 per year per patient. A 40 Hz light costs less than a dollar to produce. Dr. Tsai is still at MIT. Her research continues. Phase III human trials are underway. But you will not see this on the evening news. You will not hear your doctor mention it. You will not find it in any pharmacy. Because a frequency that costs nothing cannot sustain a $13 billion industry. The light is 40 Hz. The frequency is real. The science is published. And 40 million people are still waiting for permission to use it.

For my friends who are still using UV and might be a little weary about recent compromises to PyPi packages, stick this in your pyproject.toml. You can let all of those pip users find and report the compromises...

Alaba chasing Ribery with beer even though he’s not allowed to drink for religious reasons is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in football 🤣😂
