We built a gadget of our own, too: Muse Home Link is a little usb-c powered device that allows Muse to connect to your home network to talk to smart home devices like TVs and speakers and anything else that exposes https. We manufactured a batch of 5000 Home Links which should be ready to ship in a few weeks, and they are free for Muse subscribers while supplies last. Claim yours at gadgets.muse.ai All the code for Muse Home Link is open source too!

Started work at Meta this week. My job is to make amazing AI products that billions of people love to use. It won't happen overnight, but a few days in, I'm feeling confident that great things are ahead.

Vesuvius Challenge has been quietly making a lot of progress; we read a full scroll, developed a new unwrapping algorithm with a global spiral prior, and we just launched a new $1M grand prize for reading one of the scrolls we've scanned. There are also 10 $50k prizes available for finding text in a scroll we haven't found text in before, plus monthly progress prizes. Join the discord!

1/ @CAForever is answering the call to propel American shipbuilding for the next century. With today’s @POTUS Executive Order and the bipartisan SHIPS Act, we’re offering 3 miles of our waterfront to build the Solano Shipyard, the largest shipbuilding complex in America. 🧵

Progress on NEO’s AI has been really fast of late. Here are some early clips of a generalist model we’re developing at @1x_tech. The following clips are 100% autonomous, running on a single set of neural network weights. First, a quiet little robot that picks up leaves and puts them in a bag.
