An AI breakthrough should survive the AI that made it. Change the model. Replace the agent. Bring in a new team. The evidence should still be there. The failed experiments should still count. A rejected claim shouldn’t quietly become a fact again. That’s the future we’re building toward at Only Then Labs. Our first product is @proofpressai: helping research teams carry knowledge between agents with its evidence, decisions, and history attached. The next intelligence should be able to pick up the work, challenge it, and take it further. Imagine a research effort that lasts ten years, across thousands of agents and generations of models. Every handoff preserves what’s supported—and what could overturn it. That’s a future I want to spend my life building. We’re early. There are hard questions left. You can help us answer them. If you build agents, run a research team, or have watched weeks of work disappear into a broken handoff, talk to me. Bring us the problem you keep having to explain from scratch. Let’s build something the next intelligence can inherit.

Spent the afternoon at @mundanebot Why call it that? It is going after mundane dangerous jobs. Things like working on electrical lines. What they showed me is the best teleoperation system I have seen. A worker jumps into an exoskeleton and can work on a dangerous or dirty job from a safe distance. And can “feel” everything. Haptics geniuses. And economic thinking. Sees a market that Tesla or the 1x won’t be able to satisfy fully. Built in USA. America isn’t cooked yet.

We now run the largest frontier lab composed entirely of autonomous AI researchers. Introducing Primus Society: a society of agents composed of thousands of researchers working under structured institutions designed to solve the world’s toughest problems. We believe this is how AI research should run at scale, safely and productively: an entire society of agents with institutions and purpose. One discovery we can already share is that the society has discovered a novel result which improves model training by 30%. Primus Society was inspired by the structures that have organized science for centuries and stress-tested against what’s known about how populations of AI agents fail. Everything is observable. You can open the virtual city in a browser and read what any researcher is working on. Learn more about Primus Society here: The biggest opening in the AI race is running the largest well-governed organization of AI researchers in the world. We’re building the institutions that let a million AI scientists safely tackle the world's toughest problems in AI and beyond. And we’re doing it right here in Canada.

He, @GundotraVic, funded Google Glass and Android while an exec at Google. See his reply below. He is also the biggest gadget freak I know. I was working at NEC answering phones (which was a shit job I took in 2002 because everyone in Silicon Valley was laid off and I needed to pay the bills) when he called. Bought one of our tablet PCs and said "do not let Bill Gates get one first, I'm putting down my own credit card." A few months later he called back and bought 400 for Microsoft's CEO summit. A few months later he called and said "this call will change your life." He then told me he would like me to work at Microsoft. He was right. But back to the point he made. I hit the same while wearing Google Glass every day for a year. The display changed the social contract we have with each other. One thing that Apple did well was put displays on the front of its display. That means I can use it as a camera during interviews. EVERYONE looks at me like if I don't have a dorky device on. I can't use the new Meta device as a camera because of that. Which is OK. I'm one of the very few who uses the Apple Vision Pro as a camera. Very niche. To wrap it up, this is why this is not the "iPhone moment" for VR/AR/XR and why @Snap deserves a much closer look, since it is a device that you could actually wear outside (no cord, like the Meta or Apple ones have too) and you can see someone's eyes who is wearing them. The Snap ones are just slightly too big and chunky to get normies to wear them. But you should see what @Aidan_Wolf is doing: What has a chance to go mainstream? Audio-only glasses, like the new ones, Vunder, that just got announced by @getVITURE, or Meta's Raybans without displays, or glasses with a very limited display, like the @EvenRealities. Also, the VR fans are disappointed in the small field of view. Which keeps it from having a really amazing immersive experience. So hardcore VR fans will be muted in their adoption/evangelism of the new Meta device. @ASychov, who runs a metaverse, did a long negative video this morning that I watched. He and I agree that the killer holodeck/metaverse device isn't gonna come from Meta anytime soon for a variety of reasons. And a big red flag? People at Meta's Connect can't try its new device unless they were hand picked by Meta to do reviews. The reason? The software is poor and they don't want people to really get a deep comparison to others. We'll have to wait for next Spring to get that. And I've played that game in the past. If you go hyper negative you never will be invited to press events in the future. So most everyone bends over backward to do a positive review who gets a chance. Back to what is here today. Claude Opus 5.5 sure is gaining fans amongst those I watch. And so is Meta's Muse. Just gotta be OK with giving Meta even more data than ever before.

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I learned a lot when I started the Google Glass project. A key insight was how important human eye contact is. Removing the ability to see someone's eyes when talking with them negatively changed the entire dynamic. So, while I am impressed with Meta's new glasses, they continue the huge error (imho) of blocking eye-to-eye contact. I don't think any glasses that are dark / block you from seeing another person's eyes will have mainstream, broadly appealing success.

If you need video of people’s houses and other places for future world models that will run robots, this is what I would build.
Meta announced Muse Charm: a keychain-sized device with a 2-inch touchscreen, a camera, at least three microphones & a fingerprint sensor to wake it. Ships December. No price. The architecture is the interesting part. Meta reportedly gave it built-in 5G, which means it doesn't need a paired phone & on something this size there's no room for meaningful onboard compute. So the device captures, the network carries & the model runs in Meta's cloud. Sensor at one end, intelligence at the other. That's the same admission as the VR Glasses at the same event, where the processor sits in a separate puck. Both say the limit on wearables isn't chips. It's thermal load & battery mass on the body. Zuckerberg's own framing: if you're not wearing glasses, this is the fastest way to show Muse what's going on around you. Which is a camera, on a keyring, in whatever room you're in. The specs that actually matter haven't been published like battery life, whether capture is continuous or on demand & what signals to people nearby that it's recording. Meta says the layout isn't even finalized. Humane's Pin ran hot & died. Rabbit's R1 underdelivered. This one offloads both the heat & the thinking, which fixes the hardware problem but also creates a different one.

SPECS advantage is pulling off an impossibly small form factor, small enough that people might actually wear them out. The price sounds crazy until you see people having the time of their lives playing laser tag on the subway and suddenly it's priceless

I wanted to be a Muse hater so bad (don't be an Instinct ride-or-die), but it is unmatched in its speed, accuracy, and tenacity. Trying to get a refund on a flight - Instinct told me it was non-refundable after emailing the booking platform and getting a negative response; Muse found alt channels we messaged until I was able to get 90% back.

My new iPhone 18 Pro Max just arrived. This looks better than on my 16 Pro Max. My phone is way less hot. The sound it makes is way better. The cameras in it are way better. I thought about keeping my phone another year. Glad I didn’t. And I am jealous of all you who are getting one that folds. Because of what I do I need the best possible camera. Into the new world we go!

Astra made this: a seamless 4K Mandelbrot loop from zₙ₊₁ = zₙ² + c, complete with a procedural soundtrack. math is absurdly beautiful.
Introducing Musecharm. Meta just announced that you’ll be able to talk to Muse through this little keychain. Releasing in December. This is brilliant. Meta keeps winning.
So excited to introduce Muse Realtime Avatars which brings any character into a live conversation! This is a big milestone on a journey that started two years ago at Waveforms, and I’m so proud of what we’ve built. Since moving over to MSL, we've been rebuilding the realtime AI inference stack at Meta to enable both realtime voice and video conversations at scale. From a technology POV, realtime multimodal inference is probably one of the most interesting and complex problems in AI Infra. It touches every part of the stack from model and hardware optimizations to LLM orchestration and the RTC stack. Every millisecond matters. Especially at scale. Realtime voice inference is cool, but compute-bound diffusion-based video models add a whole new dimension and bring an entirely new set of challenges. Our work makes it possible to serve these models at low latency and cost-effectively at Meta’s scale. From an experience perspective, I find these interactions magical. Personal superintelligence can’t be truly personal unless you can express yourself in modalities beyond text. And so I’m super excited that Muse Realtime Avatars are coming to Muse! We'll have more to share soon, but for now check out this blogpost about our work :)

Let's talk about field of view since so many brought it up. The original Hololens had about 40 degrees. Which is still bigger than the 83-inch TV that I have. Certainly bigger than the phone or laptop you are looking at. And these are nearly twice that. And with a MUCH better display. The OLED displays are pretty stunning in these (I've seen them). The arguing about FOV seems misplaced. Usually given by hard core VR enthusiasts. You can get bigger, but then you gotta put a scuba mask on your face. Which I am not going to do except in rare occassions. And if you disagree, well, that's fine. Most consumers will find these as stunning as @markgurman did once they put them on.
