"We build humanizers to help make the Pangram model more robust, but we're never going to release it because I think that would just be an evil thing to do."
@pangram CEO @max_spero_ tells @semaforben and @maxwelltani why the company makes the tools it's trying to stop.

I have to admit I’ve watched this video every time I pass it on the timeline. Definitely going in the AI, Not Slop quadrant.
Claude Opus 5.5 has the best visual design of any model I have tested so far
Why do you need a certificate for typing ideas into a box?
This is awesome. Clarity of answers is super important, glad to see the labs prioritize it
Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally, addressing some of the most common feedback we heard on Opus 5.
It puts the most important information up front and follows the writing rules you give it, which makes long sessions easier to follow.

This is how you know he’s shooting these tweets straight from the dome. Meta social media team could never come up with this, let alone approve it
tbh pretty proud how non-butthole the muse logo looks
If you think the Doordash app is going away, just think about how much harder it is to answer “What do you want for dinner?” vs. being given specific choices
i think it’s very likely that first-party interfaces go away: Airbnb’s app for Airbnb, Doordash’s app for Doordash. i don’t think either user interfaces or company branding are going away, but the ownership of the rendering surface likely will

If you work in AI, please read this. More than anything else, I care that AI has a positive impact on society. This outcome is only possible if AI companies have humanity on their side.
This well-written article by @wordgrammer covers why people hate AI and how to fix it.

62k iclr submissions. I wonder how many of them are completely AI generated
58k iclr submissions
These AI video remixes are evidence that today's video models can produce very impressive outputs when provided with high fidelity creative direction.
I'm expecting to see Hollywood pick up these tools very soon, essentially as cheaper CGI. The next time I see an interesting movie make use of AI, it will probably be closer to shooting a scene and then transforming details (like these remixes) rather than the fully prompted trailerslop we see from people trying to "automate" movie creation.

Something really neat about the iPhone is that search in Settings is broken for all AirPods related features
“We want evaluators more independent than METR!”
*monkey’s paw curls*
We’re partnering with Accenture on independent evaluation of frontier AI—part of our recent commitment to embed evaluators at Anthropic. Both we and Accenture expect to invest at least $1 billion to build capacity in this area over the next five years.

.@max_spero_ really overcame a lot of my Pangram skepticism in this conversation
Adverse selection goes both ways. If recruiters are wooing you trying to get you to join, it's likely a sign you can set your sights higher
ideally you should never ever apply for a job, a job should apply for you.

I remember the Breakout List was all the rage in 2014-15. I was a freshman at Stanford at the time and all the CS students were going crazy trying to get an internship at one of these rocketship companies. Different times…

Americanism, not effective altruism.
The United States will continue to be AI DOMINANT! 🇺🇸
I've been using Pangram's Gmail inbox labeler for about two months now. It's been pretty huge to be able to see cold emails labeled as AI and use this info to inform how I want to engage.
With this feature, there was a big discussion internally about privacy. Zero data retention (ZDR) -- where Pangram doesn't store the result after processing -- is a policy typically reserved for enterprise customers. However, since email data is much more sensitive, we ended up deciding to turn on ZDR for all email inbox scans. No email inbox data will be retained by Pangram, and this applies equally to everybody.
The other really important thing here was to give users a choice of what happens to their email. My preference today is to simply label AI emails but leave them in my inbox. This may shift In the future if AI emails ramp up in volume, so we have the option to make fully AI emails skip the inbox or go straight to spam.
Please try it out and let me know any feedback you may have!

We’re living through a mass psychosis event where restaurant owners are somehow convincing themselves that AI food with the texture of maggots looks better than an iPhone photo printed on a sign.
