We just launched Tonita, our conversational AI shopping search engine! This has been cooking for the past three months based on tech we had built. Give it a spin, and let me know what you think!

This paragraph from this article by @trishlaostwal is super-interesting. The methodology might have flaws, and users != usage (e.g., coding workloads on desktop), but the trend is interesting. Reminds me of 2012: mobile traffic (web, search) crossed desktop traffic. .

NEW: Copilot is outpacing rivals on mobile. From March–June it added 5.6M U.S. users vs. ChatGPT’s 3.9M, per Comscore. Enterprise tie-ins and distribution are fueling Copilot’s surge, though ChatGPT still leads with 25.4M users.

Beyond "sparks" now... very nice, @SebastienBubeck ! side question: is it able to get the v2 result as well, with a bit of nudging / "brainstorming" in the right direction?

Claim: gpt-5-pro can prove new interesting mathematics. Proof: I took a convex optimization paper with a clean open problem in it and asked gpt-5-pro to work on it. It proved a better bound than what is in the paper, and I checked the proof it's correct. Details below.

The challenge AI extends to those of us who write is to surprise ourselves, to travel far out of ourselves and to evade all mimicry by doing what we have never done before.

How did I end up a Mathematician? (long story) As a child, my dad said to me "our family isn't good in math" and I, preferring soccer and dating to anything involving brain work, accepted this as truth. As an undergrad I studied Biology and CS, to go into Neuroscience (I ended

how hard is it to add a line to a prompt telling the LLM to write like a very smart, sharp, near-genius who's slightly flawed in terms of spelling and grammar??

How long before people intentionally put in typos to make sure people believe an LLM didn’t write a thing?

Love Lance's ambition in this essay. To each their own, I guess, but I would've picked soccer as the right sport to match with Turing, who showed how a beautiful simple model is both positively universal and -- because of that universality -- leads to bad consequences

In 1979, Hofstadter first published Gödel, Escher, Bach connected a mathematician, artist and composer connected by self-reference and paradoxes. But who can we choose to capture the true beauty and complexity of computation? https://t.co/FxXLtKMzzt

I was telling someone about @3blue1brown and I realized that Grant Sanderson is ten years out of college this summer; what an impactful decade he has had -- and what a rare combination of talent, passion, taste, consistency, and purpose! Thank you, Grant, on behalf of everyone

The status page for @googlecloud's likely also runs on GCP, so it hasn't been updated in a while (or is serving a cached version), so while Twitter is exploding that GCP has been down, the status page is all a beautiful shade of #34A853 Google Green.
