Today I emulated my client with Claude and saved hell of a time on revisions lol
So, I uploaded previous review-calls and asked Claude to propose changes as the client would do
Result: today’s call was 3 times shorter than the previous

10m+ views on instagram and tiktok for stolen copies of our website
every post: "so easy with claude code." every one sold a course
in reality our team spent over a month on it. they just screen recorded it
if it gives you fomo, someone needs you to feel it

we ran out of math problems hard enough to test ai. the next benchmark is fraud. and i think we can make it legal
first we tested models on math problems. i have a math degree and i cannot follow some of the problem statements. not the solutions. the statements. then came the announcements. unsolved for a century. million dollar prizes. the models keep going
what does that mean to a normal person? nothing. something smart happened somewhere. a good benchmark should be obvious and spectacular. everyone should get it in one second
now look at the turing test. a person sits in a room and guesses if the thing on the other side is a machine. nothing at stake. no motive. half the time they are not even trying. this is kindergarten. it also does not run and does not scale. you cannot set up "is this a machine" in the real world anymore. everyone already knows
here is the harder version. fooling someone who does not care is easy mode. fooling someone who is protecting their own money is a different sport. suspicious, hostile, guard up. if a model gets through that, no judge is needed. the benchmark is how much money the person handed over. a direct number. and a perfect training signal for the next version
scam is the turing test on hard mode
now the legal part. labs have a duty to maximize shareholder value. your chats are already training data by default unless you are on a business plan or found the setting. books are already being cut apart and scanned. one more clause is not a big ask
take the next big release. say gpt-7. two tiers. full price, and a subsidized one at a fraction of the cost. on the subsidized tier you accept that once in a while the model will try to scam you, and the attempt gets scored. the score is the money you lost, normalized by your salary. a founder losing 10k and a student losing 200 count the same. that is just fair
and if you admit you were scammed, you pay back the difference between your subsidized price and the real compute cost. those were the terms. below cost access had to be paid for somehow
you do not like it? open any lab's mission page. ensure agi benefits all of humanity. ensure the world safely makes the transition. nobody ensures anything without benchmarks. we need new ones to reach agi. somebody has to be the benchmark
would you take the discount?

Most AI platforms have two clauses. One: your data trains the model. Two: you can't build a competitor. Read them together
This week OpenAI said its model solved a $1M math problem. Hours earlier a mathematician said OpenAI picked it up after hearing about his work and offered to publish without his co-author, who works at Anthropic
We don't know what's true. Doesn't matter. The fact that we're having this conversation is the point
How would that even be possible? You agreed to it. Anthropic's terms say you can't use their product to "develop any products or services that compete with our Services". On consumer plans they train on your chats unless you opt out. OpenAI's terms have the same two pieces
Your data trains them, and you get cut off the moment they decide you compete
Why would they? Read the missions. OpenAI exists to "ensure" AGI benefits humanity. Anthropic exists to "ensure" the world makes it through transformative AI safely. You can only ensure what you control. You only control AI if you win. So the mission, in its own wording, is to beat everyone else. And once winning is the moral goal, any method your competitor won't use becomes your edge
Not a judgment. Just quoting what's public
Has it happened? Cursor built on Claude and reportedly became Anthropic's biggest customer. Anthropic shipped Claude Code for the same users. Figma Make launched on Claude. A year later, Claude Design
Now picture genuinely ambitious people on a genuinely ambitious problem. Years, talent, capital. They're hoping for a real breakthrough, planetary scale, serious money
It lands. A company with tens of billions in funding (hundreds by now, lost count) sees shareholder value. Who stops them?
So they never had that breakthrough. And if the top of the market belongs to tools you're not allowed to compete with, why use those tools for your most ambitious work?
Market is people voting with their own dollars. This gives a lot more voters a reason to vote for privacy, aka self-hosted models
So who wins Anthropic vs OpenAI? Probably Nvidia
The math dispute is debatable. The clauses and the commercial track record are not. If confirmed, it's only the second Millennium Prize problem ever solved. Sad it comes with all of the above
We’re sharing a solution to the Navier-Stokes Millennium Prize Problem, one of the deepest problems at the frontier of mathematics.
The proof was produced by a group of agents, using an OpenAI next-generation model significantly more capable than GPT-6 Astra.
The problem concerns whether the description of smooth three-dimensional fluid motion modeled by the Navier-Stokes equations can break down. It has remained unresolved for roughly 90 years.

four months from starting to this. huge congrats to @aimalysheva and the @mostik_ai team 🥂
meet @mostik_ai!
what happens when you put 12 PhDs in one room for four months? first place on the ARC-AGI leaderboard, which I can't say much about while the competition is still running. and this, which I can.
everyone's arguing about whether open models will catch up to frontier models. we think it's the wrong question. here's the one we pose: why does a frontier model have to generate your answer at all, when the only thing you need from it is the reasoning?
we do this by enabling models to communicate in latent space. through our protocol, hidden states pass straight from a frontier model into a small one running on your infrastructure -- no text between them, and neither model is fine-tuned. two models from different families, sharing reasoning, both left untouched.
how do we know it works? we tested it on a setup where a 753B model reads the problem, and a 4B edge-class model writes the answer. with this approach, we get results 80% as accurate as the frontier model, but at 20x faster performance.
we're committed to preventing frontier model lock-in and are already partnering with inference providers to accelerate open-weight adoption. we've done this between 15 of us, in four months, 12 PhDs and a Fields medalist, backed by @generalcatalyst

6 years ago I lived in a corner of a dorm room
now our client owns skyscrapers in NYC
still feels a bit surreal. a multi-billion company, and kid me was obsessed with skyscrapers long before I ever saw one
250 Broadway is one of our favourite recent projects. more in the video

so much agree, and literally every popular post on X is the proof. every single one. open the replies and it's the same slop over and over. half of it paraphrases the post, the other half is "great insight, so true". everyone got handed the same superpower, and that's what comes out
I'm quoting this exact post because it shows the examples best. I've seen the idea around and got to it myself too, but the examples aren't mine: YouTube, Coursera and the internet made world-class knowledge free, it was supposed to democratize everything, most people still chose TikTok
and the experiment is way older than the internet. we already ran it once. okay, not once. lately it runs every 30-50 years: internet, computers before that, electricity before that. but my favorite round is the oldest one. the 1800s: we taught the whole world to read and write. people expected everything to change. the world didn't end, and everyone holding a pen didn't become a writer. we're running it again, just faster. access was never the thing
what actually changed is scale. every market always had its best player, faster and better than everyone. and somehow the mediocre still got their share. the reason is structural: scale has a cost. past some size the best team's processes crack, and client n+1 gets a better result from a worse company that simply has room for them. that's what kept markets split. AI raises that ceiling, hard. routine work, which is most work, now scales
to be fair, this isn't "everything changes now." as we established, everything changes on schedule, every 30-50 years, and we're never objective mid-revolution. it's just one more fundamental shift that redraws the layout of power and money flows. they wrote "winner takes all" in the 90s and it held up fine. soon it might start sounding like they were being careful with words
so the asymmetry grows in both directions: more leverage than ever if you take real responsibility for a piece of the world, less room than ever in the middle. as with every revolution before this one, the middle gets the demotion letter first
and yes, we're in a bubble, an information one. everything changes daily in here, and outside nothing changed at all. most markets haven't even heard the revolution started. so if you can't keep up with the model of the week, take the same leverage somewhere boring. go consolidate plumbing. you'll be early for real, for once, and the edge comes with you. most people won't use it in any market anyway
AI won’t erase the gap between people.
YouTube, Coursera, and Internet made world-class knowledge free. Most people still chose TikTok.
AI is no different. Everyone gets Claude Code, Codex, and ChatGPT. The best will use them better and compound faster.
AI isn’t an equalizer. It’s a multiplier.

1/ respectfully, this chart swaps one concept for another. the feeling it gives: AI has outgrown humans. what it actually measures: how agents are built. let me unpack
Humans are the minority user of AI
Agents burn nearly 5x the tokens people do, up 14x since February

Question for people who actually understand the economics behind today’s valuations:
How did we go from billion-dollar companies being exceptional to $100B-$1T valuations becoming almost normal at the top in just 20 years?

My bet: ai influencers are a temporary trend not a new normal. Social media is social because it’s built around PEOPLE engagement
The moment most users learn to spot ai these accounts will bleed engagement. Reason: people hate the feeling of being fooled
You can probably create an AI influencer similar to this
And charge 4 fig monthly retainers to VC backed companies because they have zero idea how to actually do marketing
Seen a few AI influencers already doing crazy numbers this way...
