Super fascinating, and this is the premise behind why I started Exceptional Capital. @ScottWu46 There are hundreds, if not thousands, of archetypes of an exceptional person. There is no single path, background, school, or résumé that predicts greatness. What we want to understand is the “Moneyball” of human potential: which signals are consistently overlooked, which environments repeatedly produce outliers, and what patterns show up before success becomes obvious. The goal is simple: identify exceptional people earlier than everyone else. exceptionalcap.com/exception… @adityaag thank you for sharing!

Below are my weekend plans! Can’t wait to dive in.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

My friend. You beast :)
What a day for @chapterone: 1. @warpsciences announcement (AI/robotics to develop medicines faster in US) 2. Warhound just came out (@colossal & @anduriltech powered dogs for military/law enforcement) 3. @goformic raised $50m to scale physical AI across the US We’re on one.
There's a new version of this post

Beast!
Excited to announce Agent Mode. 1/ Right now, agents are struggling to use websites on the internet. As a result, personal agents take too long to reply, and don’t get the information they need.

The arrogance, monoculture, and smoke/mirrors from founders is getting to a peak point in the cycle I don't expect you to know everything but equally don't bullshit me Have ambition, humility, and authenticity. Perhaps most importantly, be intellectually honest

Canva’s first-ever image model has debuted at #4 on @DesignArena This makes @canva the #2 AI image lab in the world, behind only @OpenAI An incredible achievement from a very hardworking and talented team pushing the boundaries of what design companies accomplish in frontier AI research Huge congratulations to @MelanieCanva and the rest of the @canva team!

Canva Craft, the first ever image model by @canva, takes the #4 spot on DesignArena's Image leaderboard. This makes Canva the #2 Image Lab after @OpenAI! Notably, it wins most often on photorealistic product and object shots, setting up studio-style lighting and detailed material textures on a single hero object. It also ranks #1 on the Portrait and Landscape subcategories. Congrats to the @canva team on the launch!

We have a solution for you @KeycardAI
The China state-aligned threat actor Storm-0940 used the agentic AI penetration testing framework ARTEX to automate attacks targeting hundreds of organizations globally across a broad range of industries. Microsoft Threat Intelligence assesses that Storm-0940 was responsible for the recently disclosed ConnectWise supply chain compromise of a multitenant application. msft.it/6018aakEE Our investigation found that Storm-0940's use of ARTEX accelerated the speed of compromised application abuse to authenticate to target environments through applications that had already been granted access, allowing the threat actor to operate without requiring an interactive user sign-in. AI-accelerated follow-on activity included reconnaissance, application credential changes, and attempts to modify privileges that could enable expanded or persistent access. Read our blog for a detailed analysis and indicators of compromise (IOCs), along with Microsoft Defender detections, protection recommendations, and guidance on investigating service principal sign-ins and unexpected application credential or privilege changes.

every one of these agent attacks rides on long-lived creds and over-permissioned apps... short-lived task-scoped access with instant revoke isn't a nice to have anymore 🔥 exactly why we backed @KeycardAI

We're announcing the public beta of datavendor.ai We spent the last two years building the best solution for people buying and selling data, whether you're a researcher in a lab or a company trying to sell data. Data is the fundamental bottleneck for AI progress, and DataVendor will be the infra that solves it.

Replying to @JensenHuang
@JensenHuang at GTC: "Here's Trajectory and Harvey using Nemotron, post-trained it and created their own frontier-level capability." "With customization and with partners in the ecosystem that we work with, you could turn these models into the frontier. And a result, turn your proprietary data into sovereign intelligence" It's great to be doing work with such amazing companies like @harvey and @nvidia over here at @trajectorylabs!

Foursquare was acquired last month. The outcome was disappointing. It's taken me a while to write this, but I think I'm finally done grieving it. Here are some thoughts on our final years, an effort to honor the team who helped build & maintain FSQ's legacy, and my attempt to finally get some closure. teendrama.substack.com/p/som…
