Agents perform 50% worse when working in a team than working alone.

The setup is simple: two agents, two tasks, two VMs, and one chat channel. They then evaluated whether the merged solution from both agents passes the requirements of both tasks.

Another study (from Anthropic this time), which seems to confirm that using coding tools will make you faster, but not more skilled.

You still have to know what you are doing.

Coding tolls are more like power tools, if you have no clue, you will not do much good with them (even hurt yourself).

European social media alternatives need more than EU hosting. They require decentralized architecture, robust safety mechanisms, public funding, and business models beyond surveillance. Read more in @aditya.myatproto.social latest: openfuture.eu/blog/what-is...

Was serving GPT-5 profitable?

According to jsevillamol.bsky.social, @exponentialview.skystack.xyz’s Hannah Petrovic, and Anson Ho, it depends. Gross margins were around 45%, making inference look profitable.

But after accounting for the cost of operations, OpenAI likely incurred a loss.👇

Europarådet står bag Grønland og Danmark. Det står klart, efter at parlamentet torsdag har vedtaget en resolution, der bakker op om Grønlands territoriale integritet.

If UK was still in the EU, or had negotiated to be part of EU SAFE, we'd have access to EIB loans and grants to rebuild our defence capability.

As it is, UK borrowing rates are a lot higher than EIB.

There is no sense of urgency.

And we're all unwilling to pay more tax.

And record financing in key areas, such as energy grids, water, housing and technological innovation…and a step change in security and defence.’
