The scariest part of this is that Anthropic showed some restraint in not releasing a potentially dangerous technology but some of their competitors (such as OpenAI and xAI) might well not. Whether Mythos is as scary as it sounds or not, the reality is that without government regulation on releases, we are well and truly fucked. Jim VandeHei (@JimVandeHei) This is the scary phase of AI — a model deemed so powerful that its full release into the wild could unleash untold catastrophe. 🚨Based on our conversations with government and private-sector officials briefed on Mythos, this isn't hyperbole. It's reality. axios.com/2026/04/08/anthrop… — https://nitter.net/JimVandeHei/status/2041817666881503351#m

Why AI Scaling Skeptics Misunderstand Exponential Growth
By

We're not hitting an AI ceiling. Here's why the AI scaling skeptics are wrong. Exponentials help us understand everything that's going on in AI. For thousands of years, we lived in a linear world. Two apple trees produced about twice as many as one did. Walking half as far took

Huge shoutout to my co-authors for making this a reality! 🚀👇 Jarrid Rector-Brooks (@jarridrb) What if AI could invent enzymes that nature hasn’t seen? 👩🔬🧑🔬 Introducing 🪩 DISCO: Diffusion for Sequence-structure CO-design 14 rounds of directed evolution and over a year of wet lab work. That's what it took to engineer an enzyme for selective C(sp³)–H insertion, one of the most challenging transformations in organic chemistry. DISCO surpasses this with a single plate. No pre-specified catalytic residues, no template, no theozyme, no inverse folding, just joint diffusion over protein sequence and structure. 📝 Blog: disco-design.github.io/ 📄 Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2604.05181 💻 Code: github.com/DISCO-design/DISC… — https://nitter.net/jarridrb/status/2041893841301860542#m

Record yourself once for 15 seconds. From there, you can show up anywhere, in any look, and it still feels like you. Any photo becomes a video that looks, moves, and speaks like you, down to your mannerisms and quirks. This is the most advanced AI avatar model in the world. And we know that’s a big claim, so we brought the data to prove it. Thread below:

Critiquing Vector Database Dependence in RAG Systems

Someone removed the vector database from RAG and accuracy jumped to 98.7%. Most RAG systems chunk your documents, embed them as vectors, then retrieve by similarity. The core assumption: similar text means relevant text. That assumption fails on professional documents. Ask

Intelligent Agents: Natural Language Automation Across Systems
By

Enter intelligent agents (the practical layer): Ask in natural language. The agent pulls context across systems, then acts—send an alert, generate a report, flag an anomaly. Result → faster cycles, clearer visibility, and automation you can trust across existing infrastructure.

From Data Collection to Executive-Ready Explainability and Accuracy

Why this matters to execs: → From collection → comprehension: you stop hoarding and start explaining. → Accuracy scales because answers come from your ground truth. → You finally get explainability you can take to a board meeting.
