Grok 4.7
2 min read
SpaceXAI's most powerful model for coding and knowledge work. Twice as fast, at half the price of comparable models. Grok 4.7 is our most capable model for coding and knowledge work. It works longer on difficult tasks, checks its own work more carefully, and comes with our best-calibrated safeguards to date. Served at the same price and speed as Grok 4.6, it is highly competitive in its class. On ...

Good people refuse to do bad things · 5 min read I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives.

Attention is all you have

Attention is all you have The Tetris effect is one of psychology’s most easy to reproduce experiments. Simply spend a bit of time playing the eponymous game every day for a few weeks. After a little while, you’ll start recognizing familiar Tetromino shapes in clouds, buildings, and everyday objects. You might even see them appear before your eyes when you start falling asleep.

M5 Ultra Mac Studio Review
16 min read
For the past few days, I’ve been testing the (currently) top-of-the-line M5 Ultra Mac Studio with 256 GB of RAM. I’ll cut to the chase: the M5 Ultra Mac Studio is a dream machine for local AI agents. This computer makes it possible to run personal assistants powered by local models with great performance and no additional cloud costs. If you’ve been skeptical of testing OpenClaw or Hermes Agent wi...
Don't Use AI to Write
3 min read
Don't use AI to write Writing requires thinking, don't let an AI do the thinking for you. Tools like Claude, Codex/ChatGPT and Gemini are great. I use them all day (both at work and personally) for coding, research, digging through data, collecting information etc. But what I don’t use them for is writing, and I strongly suggest you do the same. Don’t skip the thinking! Writing forces you to deepl...

Flock is rolling out a voluntary severance program

Chat-based Large Language Models replicate the mechanisms of a psychic's con
26 min read
For the past year or so I’ve been spending most of my time researching the use of language and diffusion models in software businesses. One of the issues in during this research—one that has perplexed me—has been that many people are convinced that language models, or specifically chat-based language models, are intelligent. But there isn’t any mechanism inherent in large language models (LLMs) th...
AI and the Destruction of the Creative Commons
3 min read
The balance of software copyright protection and openness has always been fraught with minutiae and detail that bores all but the most nerdy of pedants. Yet, through much effort and 40 years of debate we had reached an equilibrium. Now AI has thrown that out the window. When I was young I remember typing in BASIC programs from magazines into my Commodore 64 and later teaching myself REXX to write ...

I think you should almost never use AI to write -- that is, to do the thing you’re doing when you type words on a page -- whether for a blog post, a research report, a memo, a thoughtful email, a novel, or any other text aimed at conveying an idea, an argument, an analysis, or other substantive1 thoughts. I think this is the case even when you give the AI very detailed bullet points, dictated thou...

I Built Non-Autoregressive Decision Models with RL a Year Ago
10 min read
Everyone in AI right now is talking about a new kind of model: an architecture that is not autoregressive, does not generate text, and gives lightning-fast probability predictions over structured schemas. Seeing the hype online feels both validating and deeply frustrating. I worked on this literally one year back in March 2025. I spent months of hard work, sweat, and sleepless nights building it, ...

AI is an elite crime spree

Over the last few weeks, a panic over the possibility of dangerous consequences from artificial intelligence has swept through elite media and politics. I haven’t seen anything like this since the Covid moment, and before that the 2008 financial crisis, the pre-Iraq War debate period, and the few months after 9/11. The fear is thick, and real.
