BLAKE3 and @iroh_n0 (BAO for streaming verification) have a lot of nice properties, performance being one of them, but this is just bonkers!

They power @radicle p2p aritfact distribution.

Fam, check this out: Announcing BLAKE3-Servil! A new implementation of the BLAKE3 secure hash function. I used AI agents to make it *both* more secure *and* a lot faster. It's the opposite of an AI slop cannon. An AI laser beam. :-) ⤵️

Last night an AI agent performed brain surgery on a mouse.

We gave it 19 gene therapy vectors in a spreadsheet, a mouse model of epilepsy, access to a motorize surgery rig with cameras and one goal: reduce seizures.

It picked the drug. It picked the brain region. It derived the coordinates from three papers. Then it drove the stereotaxic arms into the brain and injected 250 nanolitres while watching the entry site through the rig camera for bleeding.

A licensed vet gated every irreversible step and held a physical kill switch to stop the AI agent.

Thread on what it decided, what it saw, and the moment it refused to let me override it.

[Writing this on the spot out of excitement, but I've been 18hrs in front of my laptop coding and coordinating this, so keeping it brief and descriptive, more cohesive thoughts on this soon...]

So let me get this right, the European Parliament has already rejected the mass surveillance of chats twice, but suddenly an emergency vote passes (during European summer!) that it should be voted on for the third time?

What’s the most charitable interpretation?
