OpenAI is going DOWN (Blind)

• daris (NVIDIA): ChatGPT is still the best consumer app. Codex > Claude.. it’s stupid to make these claims every month
• Zuckerbrug (Samsung): They had the first mover advantage, just like Netscape, Lycos, AskJeeves, and Pets.com. It was fun while it lasted!

Everyone is vibecoding everything (Blind)

• thatonem3 (Autodesk): Yes, leadership are asking non tech folks to take work all the way to POC then hand over to engineering. Seems engineering may turn into architectural cleanup and review services org vs solving problems if we continue down this path.
• fdgkud (ByteDance): Put them on on-call, they will stop the next day

WTF. Zuck in earnings call: AI will not result in people losing jobs (Blind)

My company has stopped product work to become AI-ready and I think a restructuring is coming (r/developersIndia)

• feelin-lonely-1254: What happens when the pricing isnt as sustainable as now and is comparitively much more? Ig faangs etc might not care but im assuming an avg tech company might not be willing to spend like 2k-3k dollars in AI codegen tools per dev per month? And you dont mind turning your codebase into a clusterfuck? what happens when you have to debug something non obvious?
• Schroeter333: My previous org did something similar and ended up firing most of the dev team and data science team. In addition they spent millions with a vendor to make us AI ready. One year down the line, they have next to nothing to show and most of the clients have dropped out due to issues arising in the product. Most recently I heard that the CEO has been fired along with most of the top brass by the PE firm which owns the company.

What happened

Google DeepMind’s official research blog published Decoupled DiLoCo: A new frontier for resilient, distributed AI training, a post about training large language models across distant data centers without requiring every accelerator to move in tight lockstep.

The core problem is that frontier model training still depends heavily on synchronous, single-program multiple-data style execution. That works well when a large block of identical accelerators can synchronize quickly and reliably. It becomes more brittle as training runs span more chips, more sites, and more heterogeneous hardware. A slowdown, network delay, or hardware failure in one part of the fleet can waste capacity elsewhere because global progress waits for the slowest participant.

The growth problem

Phil Plait’s article starts from a simple question with a surprisingly constrained answer: if black holes can swallow matter and merge with one another, why should there be any practical ceiling on how large they can become?

The question matters because supermassive black holes are no longer exotic exceptions. Astronomers now think that large galaxies commonly host them in their centers. Some weigh millions or billions of times as much as the sun, and the most extreme known examples appear to reach into the tens of billions of solar masses. That scale can make black holes sound almost mythically unbounded, as though enough time and enough available matter would let one grow without limit.

What happened

Techmeme surfaced this April 30, 2026 story in its Anthropic Mythos cluster, and the direct source used here is Bloomberg’s Anthropic Plan to Expand Mythos Access Is Opposed by White House.

The White House is opposing Anthropic’s plan to broaden access to Claude Mythos Preview, the company’s restricted frontier model for advanced cybersecurity work. Anthropic had proposed granting Mythos access to roughly 70 more companies and organizations, expanding a program that already includes launch partners and dozens of critical software maintainers under Project Glasswing. Administration officials objected on security grounds, and the Techmeme cluster also highlighted Bloomberg’s separate report that the NSA has been testing Mythos to find vulnerabilities in Microsoft products and other widely used software.
