People really hate thinking, in fact the people who hate thinking the most are the people who are supposed to be thinkers, i.e. philosophers. Indeed they hate it so much that they shut down Future of Humanity Institute, which was a place for the asking of such questions. The

China separates 99% of the world's heavy rare earths. It just blacklisted MP Materials and USA Rare Earth, the two American companies Washington backed to break that dependence. Both need the extractants P507 and D2EHPA. Roughly 70–90% Chinese-made. Beijing can escalate like this

Continual learning is probably the biggest barrier to explosive AI adoption (& may have big implications for recursive self-improvement as well) As long as you deal with amnesiac models that require humans to do the learning for them, adoption will be gated by human processes.

Deirdre Bosa @dee_bosa 2026-07-02 17:27Z

Alternative take: the US taking 5% of OAI makes sense. Its a dividend on the public conditions that made the company possible. And China didn’t dominate EVs, batteries, solar, drones, telecom by pretending strategic tech is just software Industrial strategy with upside

On the heels of reports that META is exploring a move into compute-as-a-service like xAI, Mark Zuckerberg told an internal town hall that AI agent development over the last four months hasn’t accelerated 'in the way we expected'. The race continues to narrow.

pretty strong evidence the stagnation is over is that people believe in secret societies again. a world in which secret societies exist is a society where things actually happen that seem beyond the reach of any single individual. bullish.

Of course, love me some confirmation bias! DCLM was for text, DCVLM is the same for vision: analyzing VLM data mix across scales. Filtering is no bueno, but the "type" mixing matters, with unfortunately (but imo expectedly) the best small-scale mix != the best mid-scale mix.

GLM 5.2 is 5x cheaper than Opus 4.8 and 11x than Fable 5, yet it tops PostTrainBench. That’s exciting because lower costs make personalized intelligence economically viable. Every company and country should be able to own models trained on its own data and have sovereignty over
