Been building Codex for writing. A new interface for working with words directly.
@feldarai is writing with the controls close to the words. Expand a moment, sharpen a line, test a direction, or see how it lands.
First batch testers loved it. Next batch goes out this week.

This is like Messi leaving PSG for Real Madrid, but for people who read arXiv
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

A whole class of people built their self worth around having a “serious” white collar job the kind they thought made them smarter than people who work with their hands about to have an identity crisis.
This is going to hit the laptop class like being slammed into the concrete at terminal velocity, because the status was not just only the paycheck. Title, badge access, calendar full of meetings and a vague and sacred delusion that forwarding decks counted as civilization building.
The trades are about to have their renaissance.

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days.
His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI."
This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now.
The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.

This is the perfect distillation of what's wrong with modern tech and it's making me slowly lose my mind.
A feature that takes a clean photo and makes it objectively worse. Side by sides where the "original" wins every single time lmao. They call it "expressive." they put it in their own ad, they hit post.
This didn't happen because sony is dumb. Sony makes some of the best camera sensors on earth, they build in everyone else's phones too. This happened because somewhere between the engineers and the launch, an entire layer of PMs and MBAs decided they knew better and the engineers/technical people, who DO know better, sat in their seats and watched it ship.
Think about 60s-80s tech. Primitive, super tiny budgets, constraints everywhere and yet sony walkmans, thinkpads, hp calculators, apple IIs, nintendo handhelds. Things with fingerprints on them. things where you could feel that a specific human had cared about a specific decision. Because technical people ran technical companies.
Engineers, designers, builders were in the room. Founders had built things, the person approving the product could read the spec. Now the person approving the product is reading a deck.

‼️🚨 MAJOR IMPACT: AI just found an 18-year-old NGINX critical remote code execution vulnerability. It has been disclosed on GitHub including PoC code.
- Affects NGINX 0.6.27 through 1.30.0
- Triggered via the rewrite and set directives in config
- Update NGINX ASAP
- NGINX is a widely used HTTP web server, be sure to check its prevalence in other products

Please stop rewarding defensive code bloat in post training:
- try/except around code that can't throw
- null checks on values just created
- abstraction layers for one-off scripts
- "robust" looking verbosity over clean idiomatic code
Otherwise gpt5.5 was perfect

what would you most like to see improve in our next model?
“We shipped an OS where right clicking stutters unless you crank your CPU”Windows is so beyond cooked I can’t put into words. Year of Linux for real & already got a couple non eng friends off it and you you should do the same

Microsoft's hidden Windows 11 trick makes apps launch 70% faster. I tested it on a low-end PC, and early results are promising.
Right now, when you click Start, open File Explorer, launch Edge, or right-click for a context menu, and there’s often that tiny micro-stutter before anything happens.
Microsoft is now testing a feature called Low Latency Profile.
Once turned on, and you do a high-priority action, Windows 11 briefly pushes the CPU to max frequency for 1–3 seconds, finishes the task faster, then drops back down.
In my testing on a constrained VM with just 2 cores and 4GB RAM, the difference was obvious. Edge, Outlook, Copilot, and the Start menu opened much faster. CPU usage spiked to around 96–97%, but only for a few seconds.
For high-end PCs, the difference may be small. But for budget laptops and low-end Windows 11 machines, this could be a real game-changer.

From cave walls to neural geometry humans have always made sense of the world by giving it shape. Kind of beautiful that the machines we built do the same.
Neural networks might speak English, but they think in shapes.
Understanding their rich *neural geometry* is key to understanding how they work – and to debugging and controlling them with precision.
Starting today, we’re releasing a series of posts on this research agenda. 🧵

GPT-5.5-instant is the model you’ve been waiting for.
Smooth and creamy, like peanut butter.

I've spent the past few weeks reading 100s of public data sources about AI development. I now believe that recursive self-improvement has a 60% chance of happening by the end of 2028. In other words, AI systems might soon be capable of building themselves.

People are already saying "just set temp=0" in thread. It doesn't make it deterministic. Same matmul runs bitwise identical 1000x the variance isn't from gpu randomness. Your output depends on the server's batch size at request time and temp=0 only fixes sampling, not the math underneath.

I’m coming to the conclusion that the biggest challenge for Enterprise AI, and AI in general , as of now, is that it’s still impossible to make sure that everyone gets the same answer to the same question, every time.
Which is a great response to the doomers. AI doesn’t know the consequences of its output.
Judgement and the ability to challenge AI output is becoming increasingly necessary, and valuable.
Which makes domain knowledge more valuable by the second.
Am I wrong ?
