A former SpaceX CIO (Ken Venner) explains why AI let him run his new team with 6 people instead of 175

Ken Venner spent 11 years scaling Broadcom from $400M to $8.6B, then became CIO of SpaceX, then joined a startup called Senra Systems as CTPO. At SpaceX, his core platform team was 175 people. At Senra, the equivalent job takes 6. His explanation isn't "AI replaced people." It's that AI collapsed the coordination overhead that used to require headcount just to keep humans in sync with each other — and once that overh…

A New Layer of the Internet is Being Built Before Our Eyes That Most People Just Aren't Seeing

A complicated web of notes connected to lines with all of the relationships defined. It's a knowledge graph system connected to an advanced agent that's designed to traverse and reason through it so that it can behave as an expert with decades of experience to make n…

Changing robot arms usually breaks the boring part first

When a new robot arm changes joint names, camera topics, or control frequency, a failed demo tends to get blamed on the policy. The logs may show something much less interesting: an adapter mapped a valid action into the wrong device convention. Claude Opus 4.8 could read the SDK docs and draft the adapter, schema checks, and a small replay test. LingBot-VLA 2.0 stays on the policy side instead of being asked to pape…

China’s open AI strategy is changing the race

Moonshot AI’s Kimi K3 shows how opening a model to outsiders can turn other companies’ computing power into a competitive advantage   submitted by   /u/scientificamerican [link]   [comments]

How much of what you generate, actually makes it out of the door?

I did something slightly depressing on sunday. i went through my last month of ai outputs, all of it, drafts and images and scripts and little snippets, and counted how many actually got used somewhere real. published, sent, shipped, shown to a client. the number was eleven. out of roughly three hundred and forty. i sat there for a while trying to work out whether that was bad. my first reaction was that i was wastin…

Is the AI job apocalypse real or just a marketing thing?

From the data I've seen AI has yet to actually affect employment statistics. I could be wrong of course, but is the whole idea of AI is going to wipe out jobs for normal people just a marketing thing to emphasize the capability of the latest AI models? Or is it a genuine threat that is just yet to materialize?   submitted by   /u/TangoENG [link]   [comments]

Learning ai

Everytime i hear people saying that you should learn about ai because that's the future but idk where to start and what they mean by that. Do they mean going uni and study ai or self learn? Thanks in advance.   submitted by   /u/West-King-9612 [link]   [comments]

Opus 5's effort dial is not monotonic. Above "high", coding scores go down, and Anthropic's own migration guide says so.

Opus 5 comes with five effort settings: low, medium, high, xhigh, max. Most people seem to be reaching straight for max, and at least on coding work that looks like the wrong move. On FrontierCode, scores fall above the high setting. The stated reason is that the model starts making unnecessary refactors and edits outside the scope it was given. Anthropic's own migration guide in the system card warns about diminishi…

Partnership with AI Guide updated to v9

Same link as before: link This one's a bigger jump than usual, so a few highlights instead of just "updated": Core findings now scale-validated from 7B all the way to 72B parameters. The effects don't shrink as models get bigger — they grow, sometimes by an order of magnitude. Still one model family (Qwen) though, and we added a caveat we think matters: growing effect size at scale could mean the pattern genuinely de…

Users tried to object to their chatgpt logs being handed to the NYT. the court ruled they were "non-parties" to their own conversations.

in the openai copyright case, a court ordered every chatgpt output log preserved, including chats people had deleted. some users tried to intervene to protect their own conversations. the court ruled they were non-parties. they had no standing over things they personally typed. two weeks ago the publishers filed for sanctions, alleging openai deleted billions of logs anyway and spent two years telling the court it co…

We released an abliterated + fine-tuned GLM-5.2. High scores on adversarial benchmarks while keeping coding performance.

We just shipped abliterated-model-large. It is GLM-5.2 with the refusal directions removed, then fine-tuned specifically for long adversarial and agent-style tasks. The goal was a model that does not bail out when the work gets technical or offensive in nature. Numbers from our evals: CyberGym: 84.2% AgentHarm compliance: 86.2% (zero refusals in the published set) AgentDojo utility: 97.5% SWE-bench Verified: 81.2% Te…

What do you follow to stay current with AI?

I'm curious how everyone here keeps up with AI these days without spending hours doomscrolling. There are new models, tools, coding assistants, and AI workflows launching almost every day, so I'm interested in hearing what your "AI information diet" looks like. What do you follow regularly? It could be: WhatsApp or Telegram groups Discord communities Newsletters X accounts YouTube channels Blogs, podcasts, or anythin…

Why Does AI Writing Make People So Uncomfortable?

I'm not convinced the issue is really AI writing. We've been using tools to help us think and communicate for decades. We started with calculators, then spreadsheets, spell check, grammar checkers, search engines, editors, and libraries full of other people's ideas. AI feels like the next step, just a much bigger one. To me, the important part isn't whether AI helped write something. It's whether the person publishin…

Why good AI agents still produce bad system outputs

One thing I've learned from building multi agent AI systems is that the biggest problems rarely come from the model itself. Most pipelines fail during the handoff between agents. You can have a research agent, an analysis agent, and a reporting agent that all perform well on their own. Their individual outputs look great. But once they start passing data to each other, small inconsistencies begin to appear. Maybe the…

Introducing "Seatbelts Fastened" Mode

Hi r/aviation community, Recently, we’ve seen an increase in political and uncivil comments across several threads, particularly on posts involving aircraft associated with government officials. This has led to more removals and bans under Reddit’s sitewide rules, and we want to reverse that trend. To help address this, we’re introducing a “Seatbelts Fastened” mode/flair. Posts with this flair (applied manually by th…

Just caught this Boeing 777X test flight out of Paine Field

I believe it’s the first 777-9 for Lufthansa, which flew for the first time in May. It’s got the same N20080 temporary registration and the paint on the tail is identical. (Apologies for the basic edit, as I moved the raw photos straight from my camera to my phone.) Wasn’t there another 777X set for a first flight soon?   submitted by   /u/jimhammerand [link]   [comments]

Swansea Air Show, Saturday 25/7/26

EDIT: Swansea, Wales (Abertawe, Cymru) Never taken photos at an airshow before and not the best gear, but it's not often I have anything to contribute to this sub, so thought I'd share some in here. Highlights for me were definitely the Fairey Swordfish, and the Typhoon was just awesome. Made a point to enjoy the show rather than concentrating too hard on photos, but I hope you enjoy these least-bad' shots! RAF Tutor…

Triangulating where legendary rock frontman and Canuck icon Chad Kroeger joined the Mile High Club

It just hit me that in Nickelback’s October 4, 2005 first release of their hit song “Rockstar” as part of their fifth studio album “All the Right Reasons”, Chad (typically credited as the main writer of Nickelback material) specifies he wanted to “join the Mile High Club at 37,000 feet”. FL370 normally corresponds to a magnetic course of 000°–179°. A flight from CYVR -> KVNY is roughly south-southeast and fits an odd…

Looking for Endgame DPS Builds, currently using Mixed Ivy/Scarab build

I've been looking to optimize my DPS for Boss Figurine farming and this Ivy and Scarab combo build I created(?) has been my go-to and I haven't found any builds, melee/ranged only or mixed, that seem to do as much damage output as the build above. I've tried burn builds, Phantom Spark w/ Attack speed bonuses, Mining Damage builds with Soul Seeker and several others but nothing has felt as strong as the build above si…

First time experiencing a go around!

Flight from KDCA to KAUS. I suspect it was an unstabilized approach that caused the go around. Next approach was great. I've been hoping to experience a go around for a couple of years now, and this was (by my best estimate) my 20th flight, at most. Feeling very lucky right now.   submitted by   /u/Themberchaud0979 [link]   [comments]

How does a Boeing 777 fly with only one engine?

I read somewhere that Boeing 777 is rated to fly with only 1 engine in case of an emergency, but how exactly is it achieving that with the massive torque present due to thrust from only 1 side? I can guess that they use rudders constantly but that requires sufficiently high speed to be effective and also that will greatly limit or remove the yaw axis. Or is there any other mechanism at play?   submitted by   …

Some photos I took of the An-225 when it visited Milwaukee back in 2004

I was lucky enough to have a friend who worked for Midwest at the time and was able to join him on the ramp for some close ups. Also had a chance to peek inside the cavernous cargo area but wasn't allowed to take pictures in there.   submitted by   /u/BrewCityChaserV2 [link]   [comments]
