Pewbeam is live 🎉

Today, that dream is now a reality. We have a desktop app (Windows and macOS—this weekend) that can do all of this and even more. Over the last six months, I’ve pushed myself and my team hard, and I’ve seen people become hopeful and genuinely blessed by this product. I’ve received strong support from pastors, church members, techies, and several media houses and reporters. It has been a great honor to spend myself on something worthwhile. We’ve built an AI-native presentation app that displays relevant scriptures on screen in under 80 ms, without needing a volunteer. We’re starting with scriptures, but we’re growing into a comprehensive presentation software, with slides launching next month. From testing @pewbeam_ai in churches over the last four weeks, pastors have been able to focus on what matters instead of juggling or micromanaging the media team while preaching. Church members have been able to follow their pastor’s references in real time and take better notes. In the words of a member from one of the test churches: “Pewbeam changed the way I follow sermons in church completely.” This is the kind of impact I see Pewbeam having on people’s faith and on how church and worship are done. Pewbeam’s mission is to ensure the Church is not left behind in the AI era. We’re starting with this application, with many more to come in the next few months. We’ll keep working with stakeholders in the Christian faith, collect feedback, and build tools that better support discipleship. And unlike previous waves of technology, I believe we can be among the first movers in this AI revolution. With all that said, the final build of the app is ready, and we’re launching for public download on February 25, 2026. The app has a generous free tier for small churches and fellowships, and a paid plan (location-based pricing) that unlocks unlimited access to all features. If you’ve been following this journey, I appreciate you, and I assure you it will be worth it. Please download, subscribe, and use in your church. dára sobaloju (@darasoba) I want to build a bible presentation AI agent for church use. Imagine Bible verses coming up on screen as the Pastor preaches just based on what he’s talking about or his paraphrases and quotes. I want to build this completely in public, starting today. Thoughts? — https://nitter.net/darasoba/status/1958442090339221576#m

Blue Brain Project Failed Due to Wrong Neuroscience Hypothesis
By

I think the Blue Brain project failed because the main underlying hypothesis about how the brain works may be wrong: simulating textbook neuroscience theories does not produce human-like output. But transistor based systems already do!

Adversarial Examples and the Challenge of Exponential Misalignment

"Solving adversarial examples requires solving exponential misalignment" This paper argues that adversarial examples may happen because neural nets treat “cat”, “dog”, etc. as huge regions of image space, including many weird, non-human-looking inputs, so tiny edits can flip

Palantir Launches American Tech Fellowship-Mobilize Program
By
–
Ever since my book Mobilize launched earlier this week, I’ve been flooded with messages from people asking how they can help save the American industrial base. Now we’re launching a new fellowship to connect patriots to the movement: Are you a veteran with an active security clearance looking for a new mission? A cleared, tech-savvy civilian who wants to do more than ride a desk? Palantir wants YOU for the American Tech Fellowship-Mobilize. We started ATF last year to identify and train elite American talent to revitalize our country. Now we’re launching a new, accelerated ATF cohort (ATF-Mobilize) to teach America’s cleared workforce how to wield industry-leading software to reboot the defense industrial base. ATF-Mobilize fellows will participate in eight weeks of live, virtual training on Palantir Foundry and AIP, guided by domain experts from Palantir and our partner, Ontologize. They will learn-by-doing, building custom tools solo and with their peers. Graduates will gain mission-critical skills and access to a growing alumni network. They will also be considered for jobs at Palantir and our customers supporting urgent missions across the defense industrial base. ATF-Mobilize is your chance to deploy from your couch to a job in the engine rooms of American power. We want the best of the best. We want heretical heroes. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by. Applications are live now. Training begins April 28. Mobilize is a movement. Move out with us: mobilizebook.com/#recruiting
