Maybe more what amazing things you you can achieve for your people when the citizens are the shareholders of the economic benefits of your country’s natural resources?

What in the world is the explanation for this google trends line[1]? I’d have assumed it would have been a rapid decline since ai but there was a wild spike earlier this year before a massive crash - any ideas?

It's pretty cool. But if it's such a small model and small corpus, isn't it almost just as good just to have a static wikipedia-style copy of those key sources (WikiMed, MedlinePlus, Ready.gov, CDC etc.)? Maybe if they (and that could be static too), gave you a "what's going on?" question and then told you what you might not know - i.e. "power is out" -> "make sure you open your fridge as little as possible", "if you have backup battery ensure you turn power hungry devices off" etc.?

I bet it's configurable and just a matter of how much resource you want to allocate. If it's truly a world model then it seems to me that it's precise benefit is that it can keep track and order in things and they just choose to accept some noise/chaos/randomness/? for the demos when things move out frame? Does that sound sensible? I'm just guessing but don't feel it's a hard limit.

I’m always wondering what kind of constant noise might damage someone’s hearing (maybe develop tinnitus or long term hearing loss etc)? Is it only the volume or also duration and frequencies etc? Is there a risk having a noisy air purifier on all night?

I love cloudflare, seriously. Not sure what it is about the brand, but their products feel delightful, they feel like an honest business, they have great free tiers, their tech is “cool” and they seem to innovate a lot (I.e the recent AI blocking program etc). Just moved all my domains over from Whois.com (who on the other hand seem sneaky, don’t have auto renewals and slam you with an 80$ restoration fine for domains you forget to renew, and charge extra for basic security that should be free). Couldn’t be happier and wish cloudflare all the best!!

Do you get a 3rd opinion and go with the consensus? Genuinely curious what people think.

With crypto.. that it makes on Polymarket-like ways, or creates its own content? Or blackmail humans? :-) I'm not entirely serious with my comment and do agree with you that there are lots of more immediate safety topics we should address before worrying about the AI becoming self-aware. That said, finding ways of accumulating valuable resources could be intermediate activities the AIs will attempt to do to complete it's 'goals' even when they're human-set!

It seems to me like hackers, innovators and entrepreneurs are generally more open minded

This seems super cool. What’s sobering to remember though is that it was invented 20 years ago and only just got FDA approval earlier this year

I hate people linking to paywalled articles, wish it was against the HN terms.

Here’s another link to an article about the acquisition; https://siliconangle.com/2026/08/16/stripe-reportedly-finali...

The ABC in Australia feels so opinionated and tilted to the “left” side of politics whenever I’ve watched it on the TV. And it may just have been that news show or the specific host but it makes it not enjoyable to watch when it seems there’s always an “angle” and negative undertones and people constantly having an axe to grind. I’d personally like a bit more neutral news that also leans a little more on the positive and inspiring side.

I'm from Asana so I'm probably biased too :) and I agree single-player agents are easier, but multi-player agents that understand end to end workflows etc. are very powerful. That's what we've built and yes it took a lot of thought and time to built it in a way that it would be privacy conscious and not leak the wrong thing to the wrong people etc. I haven't player with Buzz yet but signed up and admire them for thinking differently and trying to build something interesting.

But isn't there the raw intelligence of a smart model and then the practical intelligence fuelled by how many parameters it has? You probably will barely be able to fit a 70 billion parameter model on a phone in 3-4 years let alone a 2+ trillion parameter model... so it depends on what you call intelligence

How would it compare to Wispr Flow? I recently started using it and it feels so much more robust than anything out there (and in fact the one in iOS and MacOS 26 seemed pretty poor in comparison)... and do we know if Wispr Flow uses the Whisper tech behind the scenes or if they have their own model etc?

Surely it’ll be an issue some day for other space activities with all the SpaceX kit up there? I know space is very large :) but surely it’d be hard to scan, calculate and control trajectories of millions of orbiting tiny things when you’re launching rockets and things? A spacex satellite almost crashed into the Chinese space station some years ago and the Chinese had to perform an evasive manoeuvre I believe

A cool detail in the article that you can look up in the news is the French government investing €650m in AI, including technology (not just implementation, training and licensing it seems). Hope some of it is for further funding and equity in Mistral, and that other European countries follow suit. Even better if there was a great non-profit or B-Corp European alternative to the US and Chinese frontier/SOTA labs.
