Social Media Summary

AI for science dominated the day amid a striking cross-lab convergence. Greg Brockman launched OpenAI's GeneBench-Pro, testing judgment-heavy computational biology that takes experts 20-40 hours, as Anthropic and Google shipped their own scientific tooling in the same two-week window.

AI safety and governance stayed active around the Fable 5 redeployment. Ethan Mollick called for a government risk statement ahead of open-weights Mythos-class models, Hugging Face's Clément Delangue promoted the FLARE flaw-reporting coalition, and Google touted SynthID watermarking 100B+ images and 60,000 years of audio. On labor, François Chollet offered a contrarian take, arguing against mass unemployment. Infrastructure momentum showed too, with vLLM v0.24.0 adding MiniMax-M3 and DeepSeek-V4 support.

John Carmack details GPU optimization esoterica: how triangle edge length, not just count, affects fragment shader invocations because GPUs process 2x2 pixel blocks, making long skinny triangles costly, and discusses triangulating planar figures to minimize total edge length.

It isn’t the point of this project, but looking at the triangulations made me think about some GPU optimization esoterica. Everyone knows “triangle count” has an impact on performance. Graphics programmers also know that the ordering of the triangles can also make a significant difference, and integrate mesh optimization tools. For the special case of planar figures like these, total triangle edge length can become the distinguishing performance characteristic. GPUs work with 2x2 blocks of pix

NVIDIA Research introduces Nemotron-Labs-TwoTower, a diffusion language model adapted from Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B that splits the model to write tokens in parallel, reportedly keeping 98.7 percent of quality at 2.42x faster generation.

We took a 30B model and split it in two to write tokens in parallel instead of one at a time. Introducing Nemotron-Labs-TwoTower: a diffusion language model from NVIDIA Research adapted from Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B. Here’s how it works: one half holds the context, the other writes the tokens, with both reusing the pretrained model instead of training a new one from scratch. We found it kept 98.7% of the original model’s quality at 2.42× faster generation.

Francois Chollet argues the current AI wave will not cause mass unemployment and its labor impact should be minimal, mostly increasing demand for software engineers.

John Carmack expands on a transformer idea: since basic attention has no inherent order, position encodings like RoPE or sinusoidal mappings convey 1D distance, but tokens could be mutated on multiple axes to encode higher-dimensional or non-uniform structure like trees or graphs.

I probably buried the lede in that one. The bit that made me curious was transformer specific. In a basic attention scheme, all of the tokens in the context attend to all the other tokens, with no sense of order whatsoever. Transformers incorporate “position encodings” with the tokens so that relative placement can be reasoned about. Systems like rope or the original transformer’s sinusoidal mappings give information about one-dimensional distance, but you could mutate the tokens on many axis to

Mollick calls for an official government statement about the risks seen in Fable and how defensive preparations are being considered ahead of coming open-weights Mythos-class models, questioning whether concerns center on state actors or independent hackers.

It would be good to have an official government statement about the risks they saw in Fable, how they are viewing defensive preparations in light of coming open weights Mythos-class models, & whether the worries are state actors, independent hackers, etc It’s important to know

Following yesterday's Research coverage, Clement Delangue promotes FLARE, a coalition-led standardized system for reporting AI flaws across the ecosystem, framing open and accessible AI as safer via more scrutiny.

AI systems that are accessible or even better open-source are safer for a simple reason: more people can inspect them, test them, stress them, and report what breaks or harms to keep the builders accountable. "Sunlight is the best disinfectant"! That’s why we’re proud to help lead FLARE with a coalition of safety and cyber-security researchers from MIT, Stanford, Princeton, Harvard, Northeastern, Carnegie Mellon and more. The first release is a standardized way to report AI flaws across the e

AI Analysis

Ethan Mollick stresses benchmarking models for your own use case, noting stacked judgments amplify differences that standard benchmarks miss, e.g. Gemini 3.1 versus GPT-5.5 behavior at a cafe scenario.

You really need to benchmark models for your use case. As soon as judgements & decisions stack on top of each other, the differences between models amplifies, and no standard benchmark will tell you that Gemini 3.1 is less worried about financial losses at a cafe than GPT-5.5
