In a normal workday, an AngelList customer is investing into a startup every 10 minutes.
“I don’t have to beg for mathematicians to make progress.”
Le physicien Gabriele Carcassi (@UMich) : je bloquais souvent sur des aspects mathématiques techniques en topologie et l'IA me sort désormais d'affaire en 2 minutes ; il me fallait supplier des mathématiciens pendant des mois, maintenant un seul interlocuteur IA me suffit !

You can’t evaluate whether an LLM has “understanding” at the level of neurons or tokens. Understanding is a higher-level concept.
People make too big a deal of undecideable propositions. Knowing the truth value of a statement is a finite piece of the infinite ways it can be understood.
There will always be ideas beyond the reach of SI, simply because there is no formalization for all knowledge.
Knowledge cannot be constrained by any system. It can never be justified. Therefore, there will always be knowledge beyond the reach of SI.
Knowledge, bah! Who needs more knowledge? It is well known for having <gasp> Side-Effects. Whereas ignorance never hurt anyone!
Pure reason is infinitely more powerful than the scientific method.
I’ve mentioned a few times that this wave of dissident “intellectuals” absorbed their epistemic framework from Dawkins/Hitchens and the rest of the “Well, who designed the designer?” crowd.
All the “based” conservative accounts on here seem to presuppose naive versions of scientism or positivism.
I share many empirical conclusions with the “new conservatives,” but they have 0 understanding of issues in epistemology/philosophy of science.
When they hear those terms, they knock on the nearest concrete object and assert “I believe in the real world. Science has taken us into space, not philosophizing” or some such nonsense lol.
They are thoroughly confused and cannot see that they are using the exclusive epistemic aims/success of a narrow range of scientific inquiry to evaluate the utility and productivity of other fields.
Schmid would run circles around Hanania on critical thinking & applied reasoning.

The labs are afraid of losing market share if they slow down so they naturally want to offload the burden of liability.
Privatize the gains and socialize the losses.
The best way to pace the frontier is to hold the labs fully liable for the behavior of their models.
The AI labs are coordinating on a scheme to force global “pacing” because they’re afraid of the liability of going too fast, but they don’t want to slow down and lose market share to aggressive competitors.

Introducing the world's first fully local, private AI health app. Your health data never leaves your device.
You don't even make an account.
All AI models run entirely on device including Apple's latest on device voice model that outperforms Whisper.
Our fine-tuned model is better at macro tracking than GPT 5.6 Sol and runs entirely on your phone.
100x faster.
The benchmark below is A-LIST vs GPT 5.6 Sol using Google's 5k food library.
It's lightning fast, free, private and available all over the world starting today.
This is a big step towards making health easy and accessible to everyone in the world.
Thank you to everyone who has worked so hard to make local models this powerful and viable.

He is easily the greatest and most prolific copywriter in human history.
If humans don’t take command of the universe, it will surely kill us.
It’s generally good to increase the range of physical transformations we can perform. If humans don’t take command of the universe, it will surely kill us.

Welcome to Quantus
We launched USVC, our venture fund available to the public four months ago
Since then, we have:
- Raised $50M+ from almost 5,000 investors
- Grown our NAV per share by 12%+ since launch (30%+ annualized)
- Successfully completed our first tender offer
And on the investment side:
- We got exposure to some of my favorite companies like Supabase, Mercor and Mercury
- Existing companies in the fund like Anthropic, OpenAI, Sierra and Crusoe went on to raise more money at higher prices
- We also backed some of the most accomplished early-stage fund managers investing in the next generation of startups

We're in the middle of one of the most exciting technological revolutions of our lifetime
And the majority of wealth creation from that revolution could be in private markets
Fired up to allow retail investors access to private markets with as little as $500:

Introducing @NorgardXApp an app to track the top 100 private companies.
OpenAI. Anthropic. Anduril. The coolest companies aren’t public anymore. Following them all sucks. I built an app to make it easy. News, X bangers, funding rounds, secondaries, media.

The mind-bending progress of AI should be the norm for all American industries and all we have to do to make it happen is delete a million useless regulations.
It’s incredible that any American with $500 can start investing in high-quality startups.
