Hey, if you've tried any of @perplexity_ai APIs (Search, Agent, Embeddings, Decision, etc.) and were disappointed by anything, please DM me! Would be glad to learn what we should do better :)

Karpathy: disappears from X 
Ben Affleck: alright, gather round, so you'll want to freeze the base weights first, learning rate 2e-4

不能免俗也进入中年程序员求职的赛道了，来 X 上看看有没有合适的机会，欢迎转发扩散。 个人背景：之前都在大厂，10+ 年工程经验，前端各个方向都做过，也带过团队、负责过完整的业务和技术方向。 目前人在湾区，主要想看前端/全栈/Agent 相关方向，需要 H1B Sponsor，优先考虑 Base 在湾区或者 Remote，其他方面都比较 Flexible。 有合适机会欢迎 DM，感谢 🙏

Note well, apparently Anthropic tried very hard to get the Vatican to alter the text of "Magnifica Humanitas" just prior to its release so that it would not deny AI personhood.

Excited to announce Volantis's $88M Series A. We are solving Al's memory bottleneck by using optics, enabling chips with huge amounts of fast & cheap memory. By boosting both the memory bandwidth and capacity per chip by orders of magnitude, we enable ultra-fast inference (up to 10,000 tps/user) for large models (>10T) - with low $/tok to boot. Initially, this will enable insanely fast agents - think coding agents that finish in minutes or even seconds instead of hours. More excitingly, optics is a fundamentally scalable way to increase memory systems. Not 2X/year, but by orders of magnitude across new generations. This will enable a structurally new Al industry, including restarting scaling laws, holding entire repos in context windows & more. Our team has pioneered many core semiconductor technologies: the 1st CoWoS product, early HBM, the 1st silicon photonics CPO systems, the 1st high volume tunable VCSELs, the 1st processors to directly communicate using light & more. We’ve already sent data >10× farther than equally tiny electrical wires inside a chip package. Our next iteration is already taped out and targets world-record bandwidth density over relevant distances, read more: https://volantissemi.ai/news-insights/our-88m-series-a-demolishing-the-memory-wall-with-photonics-post

Introducing Griffin, the first model to pass the video Turing test. 48% of people who talked to it live thought it was a real human. Previous systems have had a pass rate <3%. It is #1 on NVIDIA's benchmark for full-duplex AI video. It’s the first Human Interaction Model (HIM).

“We find that on medium-length, well-defined accounting tasks, frontier AI models are now faster and more accurate than junior accountants, even the best one in our study.” Eighteen months ago they scored well below human accountants Good discussion here: https://www.mercor.com/blog/human-baselines-for-benchmarks-ai-now-outperforms-junior-accountants/

Rule-based work isn't a career anymore. It's a prompt. In every rule-based profession, humans are now the slow, expensive, error-prone option. Claude Opus 5 got 20 for 20 at 100% and wrapped each task in minutes, while 12 licensed CPAs landed anywhere from 0% to about 90%, with several running out the 3-hour clock.

Blackstone President and COO Jon Gray made this same point few months back. Any rule-based businesses, like accounting, legal, finance, will be completely disrupted by AI. 🎯 e.g. JPMorgan dropped proxy advisors for shareholder votes, replacing them with AI. https://x.com/BloombergTV/status/2016932349737410876/video/1

@TheGuySwann They could have a premium on LLM employees - they work 24/7 and do not take sick days, moan or have employment rights.

Ben Affleck (Hollywood star & Artists Equity CEO) talks about how he fine-tunes open video models by unfreezing weights and trained only the last cinematic layer so a film crew can hit real production standards. for context, Ben Affleck founded InterPositive in 2022, a 16-person AI shop for film post and Netflix bought it in March 2026 for $587 mn in cash. He needed that model because public video models were trained on his peers' films, and he did not think that was a real business. So InterPositive raised money, shot its own dataset for 8 months on a controlled stage, and used it only as late-stage training. Each new film then trains a private model on its own dailies, so the production keeps the footage and the learning. That is the product Netflix paid $587 million for. ---- From "Bloomberg Live" YouTube channel, (link in comment)

The three AI safety researchers at OpenAI who have left the company have all previously expressed concerns publicly.

I cannot agree more. Kevin Buzzard made so many points I agree with. But the best one is this "I thus believe that in the future we will reach a new “natural boundary” in mathematics, beyond (and perhaps way beyond) where we are now, but where machines are going to get stuck and where it is not viable to expend any more resources to make the next big leap. (...) I believe that the optimal thing to do (...) is to let the machines loose, see what happens, and then begin the journey to where they have stopped." https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/2026/10/01/to-grieve-or-not-to-grieve/
