the definition of "slop" is not constant
something we may see as impressive today will be seen as slop a few months down the road
i think the constant part is - if something can be one-shot by AI, it is slop
because if you can one-shot it, millions of others can too. and when that happens, people associate it with being low-effort and worthless
this is one of the reasons that fully automated software factories are not going to work because by definition what they produce is always slop
the ones that do work are those that put humans at the center and are designed to help amplify human craftsmanship rather than trying to replace it

Interviewers from the Statistical Institute of Jamaica (@statinja) will be out in their numbers come September 16, when data collection for the 2026 Jamaica Survey of Living Conditions (JSLC) is set to begin.
Speaking at a Jamaica Information Service (JIS) Think Tank on September 14, Director of Field Services at STATIN, Philone Mantock, explained that this year’s survey will target 3,900 dwellings.

I want every single person in the world to succeed.
I don't want anyone gatekeeping intelligence just to exploit people.
This is why open source has to win.

One of the greatest ironies in the age of AI is China being the voice of reason and calling for AI to remain “open and inclusive,” while the land of the free, the USA, uses fearmongering to control, shut down access to intelligence, and keep AI closed and non-inclusive.
🇨🇳 Beijing is telling the AI panic crowd to calm down.
China’s Foreign Ministry says AI should remain “open and inclusive,” warning that fearmongering, confrontation and “vicious competition” will only derail global AI governance.
There’s clearly no appetite for slowing the race just because others are getting nervous.

Jensen Huang and Donald Trump just said on stage at the All-In Summit that they aren’t going to let the AI doomers slow down the AI industry.
That’s it. It’s over.
The doomers just lost.
Didn’t even take 24 hours.
Thanks for playing.

JUST IN: Vice President JD Vance warns that AI companies asking the government to regulate them feels like “a bit of a trojan horse.”

1. Solve aging.
2. Find cures for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, heart disease.
3. Discover a room temperature superconductor.
4. Solve quantum gravity.
5. Develop Full-Dive VR.
6. Build a Star Trek style replicator.
7. Build starships 100x larger than SpaceX Starship, with artificial gravity, capable of easily reaching other planets in Solar System.
8. Solve all currently known major problems in mathematics and physics.
9. Fully map the human brain.
10. Figure out dark matter and dark energy
After that, we can pause for a bit (maybe a few weeks or so).
Slowing down now is pretty ridiculous.
We are still technologically primitive. From the perspective of the late 2030s, it will look absurd that humanity was seriously debating whether to slow technological progress at such an early stage.

Right. Dario was already claiming that GPT2 was too dangerous to open source back in 2019.
I made fun of them then.
Everyone should make fun of them now.

AI isn’t going away. Barring unprecedented global government coordination, it isn’t even slowing down.
The only real decision is whether to centralize power, or disperse it.
Do you fear the technology? Or a small number of people controlling the technology?

ok everyone, i took one for the team
here's the data we all wanted to see - real token value of each LLM subscription, empirically measured through usage on my real subscriptions
- supergrok heavy has now become the highest value at $12k worth of tokens (40x ROI)
- the $200 plan from openai and anthropic roughly give the same amount of token value, $7k give or take
- cursor ultra's ROI is the lowest among mainstream subscriptions, roughly half of OAI or Ant. for individual consumers i'm afraid this no longer makes sense to purchase
this was done in a clean environment. i ran each provider across 5 whole % points of my quota through repeated eval tasks in open source repos, and measured the total token value from all the agent sessions based on API pricing
caveat 1 - this only measures their coding agent quota (which is the majority of the offered value), and does not include things like chat bot or grok bot
caveat 2 - none of the providers commit to never changing this, so this is a snapshot of what the offering looks like today. i cannot guarantee it won't change again
caveat 3 - the token value assumes you exhaust your subscription completely, which may not be realistic in real world usage

The future of AI is open—and open models need infrastructure that makes them practical to build with.
Proud to support the @huggingface ecosystem by giving developers accessible, cost-efficient inference for open models like GLM-5.3 and GLM-5.3-Flash.
Exciting day for NVIDIA and @huggingface.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty. They allow every developer, startup, university, industry and country to build with, customize and benefit from AI.
Thank you @ClementDelangue for coming to me.
NVIDIA is going to be a great home for Hugging Face, its community and the future of open models. 🤗

now we know why opus 5 sucks so badly and anthropic didn't seem to get it
because they've been using fable for _everything_
opus 5 is now officially the underwater skeleton. let's hope opus 5.1 takes the lesson

prediction: Z ai subscriptions might sell out...
this thing is a beast.. it should be called GLM-5.3 giga flash.
320B parameters, only 18B active, 1M context, multimodal, open weights, and somehow getting close to opus territory..
and the pricing is absolutely crazy:
$0.15/M input
$0.50/M output
and it’s currently 50% off:
$0.075/M input
$0.25/M output
until september 9.
it’s obviously not the cheapest model ever, but this might be the cheapest we’ve ever seen a model get anywhere near this level of performance.
the cost of intelligence is absolutely collapsing...closed models are so cooked.
Introducing GLM-5.3-Flash
- Leading capabilities at a highly competitive price
- Natively multimodal with a 1M-token context window
- A 320B-A18B model released under the MIT License
- Previously previewed as Ox Alpha, running entirely on Chinese AI chips
