Launch day! Introducing Nautilo, the open org harness for everyone. 100% open source. Server. Desktop. Web. Android. iPhone. Every user gets their own Genie, a powerful and radically loyal super agent. Think the flip phone version of Her, but for teams. She's a friend and secret keeper. She remembers everything about you and never breaks character. Not an agent. A machine person. With you for life. And because you control the server, the models and the end points, you can trust her with anything. Nautilo is self-sovereign and private. Our first service pack next month will bring full end-to-end encryption. Genies get only short term delegations to decrypt. The desktop app comes stocked with apps for you and your Genie: A built in web browser, a cloud browser, a full office suite (docs/slides/sheets/Miro style board), a full video editor, a vector designer, a terminal, and built-in Google Suite (after a few Google hoops). But unlike other platforms these apps are co-creative. In most other systems only your agent can edit. It's prompt and pray, hoping she gets it right on iteration 42. With Nautilo, you can take over when AGI doesn't get it right. She's also got built in third party coding harness controls that she steers like you would: Codex, Hermes, or Claude Code. Call them when you need a specialist or some cheaper compute. Make your Genie today. Carry her with you for life. Site: GitHub: Why open source all this? Because we believe that if your org level harness isn't fully open you can't trust it with your real work and your personal world. A closed harness is just a surveillance app in sheep's clothing that a SaaS or model company can rip away from you overnight. Control the harness and you control your future. Code is beta but getting stronger by the day. And with that, here's a mega-thread with video deep dives:

its still so underrated the degree to which our intelligence supercycle was as much reliant on innovations in capital formation as it was innovations in the technology itself. europe is losing not only because they can't built it, but primarily because they can't finance it

How do you read a book that cannot be opened? Dr. Brent Seales has spent decades on that question. This summer his team showed they can unwrap and read a complete scroll, and presented results from three, without unrolling a single one. Two things made it work: a synchrotron that scans finer than a red blood cell, and machine learning that finds an ink signal the human eye cannot see. Out now on Infinite Loops, with guest host @nicktawil.

My conversation with Michael Moritz, one of the great venture investors of the last 40 years. Michael joined Sequoia in 1986 and co-led the firm with Doug Leone (@dougleone) from 1995 to 2012. His investments include Google, Yahoo, PayPal, and Stripe. His new book, Ausländer, traces his parents' escape from Nazi Germany and helps explain his lifelong interest in what shapes exceptional people. We discuss: - The infamous Steve Jobs profile - Why Don Valentine hired him - The question he finds most revealing when interviewing people - Monomania and the cost of greatness - Why he has never felt good at anything - Writing, journalism and AI - What he learned about himself writing Ausländer I'd recommend watching this one if you can. Michael was incredibly thoughtful and reflective throughout, particularly when talking about his parents, childhood, and the more difficult parts of his personal story. Enjoy!

Machines can see. They can hear. They can't smell. Alistair Pernigo is working on that. He researches how machines detect and interpret the chemical signals around them, or as he puts it, making chemistry a native sense for machines. He's a research affiliate in the Multisensory Intelligence group at the MIT Media Lab, where he works on machine olfaction and molecular sensing. He co-authored SmellNet, a public dataset for smell recognition covering 50 substances and 43 mixtures across roughly 828,000 data points, published at ICLR earlier this year. He also co-founded Timeless Way, a lab studying how living and engineered systems perceive their environments. He has a working sensing prototype. Over the next year he'll develop it further and validate it through controlled experiments with academic collaborators. The applications are robotics, industrial safety and biosecurity. "I'm excited to build alongside people who recognize strange ideas as early signals of what comes next." He's the twenty-second O'Shaughnessy Fellow we've announced in 2026.

Today, we’re releasing Kalypta, the first app to block AI notetakers in your meetings. Granola? Wisprflow? Cluely? No more. With Kalypta, you become inaudible to AI. Your call continues normally.

Mark, by @colossusjeremy. This is a story about the head of history's largest nonterritorial empire, who nonetheless remains a prisoner of his rivals. Has he finally found a way out? The profile has been nearly a year in the making. Stern interviewed three dozen people, including Zuckerberg, his MMA coach, and his critics and competitors at the frontier AI labs. He spoke with his parents, Karen and Ed, and watched their son get punched in the face. The story spans Meta HQ in Menlo Park, the Zuckerbergs' homes in Palo Alto and Lake Tahoe, and a party in a Manhattan warehouse with Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet. There is also a sneak peek of Aaron Sorkin's forthcoming sequel about Zuckerberg, sourced via a Hollywood fixer Stern first encountered in Russia. The result is a profile unlike one you've read before.
