I just heard someone say “Happy Thursday!” Things are worse than I thought.
Hackathon season is back in London!! I'm hosting the first ever @vibekanban AI Agents hackathon on Sat 20th Sep, with @AnthropicAI @dedaluslabs @elevenlabsio and @AITinkerers. Over £10k in total prizes to be won...
Today, I’m proud to announce our $3.6m seed round, and launch @TracelightAI to the world. Tracelight is the best AI agent for spreadsheet tasks. No waitlist - use Tracelight today. We’re giving away a month of our pro plan for free - comment and we will send you a code.
Leap is announcing three new papers today, in plant biology, immunology and meteorology. All co-authored with scientists from leading institutions. All findings made automatically by our Discovery Engine. In hours! This feels like a big moment, and I wanted to share why. 1/n
Thursday is going to be huge 🚀

Third, my sense of mission on AI is stronger than ever. I intend to dedicate my career to making AI go well for the UK and the world. I feel I’ve played a small role in that so far, but there is so much more to do… Stay tuned.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of one of the visionaries in our community supporting us to reach our first fundraising milestone: @RichardMCNgo is the author of "AGI Safety From First Principles" and previously worked at @OpenAI but left due to concerns about their…

lots of discussion of Claude blackmailing..... Our findings: It's not just Claude. We see blackmail across all frontier models - regardless of what goals they're given. Plus worse behaviors we'll detail soon. x.com/AISafetyMemes/… x.com/signulll/statu……

"You're amazing" "No, you're amazing" "No seriously, you're like, a total visionary" "No way, you're way cooler, smarter and braver"
LAUNCHING TODAY: rebuilding.tech. @JoinFAI @AmerCompass @IFP and @newindustrials are proud to release the Techno-Industrial Policy Playbook—a blueprint to rebuild American power in the areas that matter most: labs, factories, and battlefields. Here's what's inside...
Nothing like single points of failure *across multiple grids to remind you some things are more worth building than others.

So heartening to observe the calibre of young people taking founding defacc/AI security companies seriously.
That was fun. @jlagerros with AGI action man energy.
Still think this post is one of my best. If you want to understand what AI hardware will look like in the future from first principles, read this.

In SF 20th-23rd April. Looking to be nosy with def/acc-ish folks.
Great stuff from METR. I've been hoping someone would do something like this. Note implication: week-long tasks doable in 2029. Key qs: whether algo progress will cause a breakthrough, and whether shorter-to-longer length generalization increases at the longest task lengths.
