    Fei-Fei Li shares I3L robot imitation learning research

    Fei-Fei Li shared the I3L (Iterative Interactive Imitation Learning) research posted by Wensi Ai, calling it the team's latest work on closing the "last-mile" gap in long-horizon robotic tasks. The original post noted that long-horizon whole-body robot policies still fail during deployment.

    Subvocal launches glasses for silent mouthing input that can transcribe 200+ words per minute

    Subvocal has launched a pair of glasses that can convert silently mouthed words into text at a speed of over 200 words per minute. The principle is that radar passes from the frame through the face, and based on changes in the reflected signal as each word is silently mouthed, AI decodes it into text; at most, bystanders see only slight mouth movements. The product is now available for pre-order, and the team previously raised $1.3 million in funding from YC and Afore Capital.

    We’ve raised $1.3M from YC & Afore Capital so you never have to type or speak again. Typing is slow. Talking into your computer is awkward. Subvocal fixes both Our glasses give you the speed of speech without you making a sound or touching a keyboard. It tracks your internal speech muscles with non-contact sensing and decodes silent, almost invisible mouthing into text at more than 200 words/min. Pre-orders are now live at: https://t.co/DzrwIpg3GR

    Pope Leo calls for disarming AI: “Machines are tools, not people”

    In his papal address on Friday, Pope Leo XIV called for the “disarming” of AI and urged UN member states to “take concrete steps to ban lethal autonomous weapons” at next month’s Geneva conference. He stressed that “machines are tools, not people,” warning that AI systems should not be granted rights or legal personhood, and that decisions involving human life, freedom, and the use of force must always remain under effective human oversight.

    Huawei Router X2 Pro Goes on Sale: Why Router Design Is Becoming Increasingly Important in the AI Era

    Huawei has released the Router X2 series. The X2 Pro is priced at 588 yuan for a single router and 1,108 yuan for a two-router set. It uses the Lingxiao 760 series chip plus four high-performance signal amplifiers, supports NearLink and Wi-Fi 7+, and features a "book" design with no exposed antennas, emphasizing integration into the home. Leitech believes that Mesh networking requires routers to be placed in prominent locations, and that AI requests forwarded over the intranet by AIoT devices are pushing routers into the foreground, making design increasingly important; however, upgrading devices early for whole-home AI in 2030 is not wise.

    Tomasz Tunguz: Who Will Cross the Trillion-Dollar Revenue Chasm First

    Tomasz Tunguz analyzes the $1 trillion revenue targets separately proposed by Andy Jassy and Elon Musk. Extrapolating at current growth rates with 15% annual decay, Google Cloud and SpaceX will reach $250 billion in quarterly revenue ($1 trillion annualized) in 2030, with AWS following in 2032. He notes that the market has sold off some cloud providers out of concern that cash flow from legacy businesses cannot sustain capital expenditures; Google's search advertising growth has already slowed from 19% in Q1 to 12% in Q3, and AI Mode's monetization rate is lower than that of traditional search. Microsoft is the only hyperscaler to boost ARPU through AI faster than seat growth slows, while ServiceNow's market value has fallen 29% on concerns that its seat-based business will be eroded by AI.

    Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz warns: the AI boom is "a great opportunity to deceive people"

    Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz warns that the AI boom is "a great opportunity to deceive people," because doing due diligence on AI companies is extremely difficult, and it is hard to distinguish genuinely unique new technology from a ChatGPT wrapper. He also criticized Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes for seeking sympathy through the documentary "You Can See Everything," and has been preparing a diagnostics company called Haemanthus, dubbed "Theranos 2.0," which has reportedly raised about $20 million.

    lauren: AI makes code flow like a torrent, software needs to be rewritten to adapt to agents

    lauren believes that code is shifting from arriving drop by drop to a continuous flow like a rushing river, and software needs extensive rebuilding and rewriting to adapt to this faster pace. She points out that AI brings every engineer an extremely elastic and capable workforce, and the only way forward is to evolve systems so that agents lacking context can also work smoothly, turning what is easy to do into what is right to do. Codebases are becoming organic architecture, where agents' contributions grow around the constraints and guardrails you design, so good software engineering is more important than ever.

    Anthropic restricts Claude Code from recreating existing games via a server-side switch

    Anthropic delivers rules to Claude Code via a server-side switch named tengu_heron_brook, prohibiting the recreation of specific existing games, even if renamed or claimed to be original, and there is no option to turn it off. The rules still allow original games, games in the same genre, and projects based on the user's own designs and assets. The author believes that at the implementation level, its weapon jailbreak classifier stack can be reused; the difficulty lies in the fact that copyright only protects a game's look and feel rather than its mechanics, so the detector needs to distinguish between the same genre and the same game.

    ANTHROPIC IS CRACKING DOWN ON VIDEO GAME REWRITES 🚨 Claude Code picked up a new rule around Oct 27, sent from Anthropic’s servers under a flag called "tengu_heron_brook". There’s no setting to turn it off. The full rule: “Do build original games, games in a genre, and games from the user’s own designs and assets. Don’t build a recreation of a specific existing game, even if it is renamed or called original.” Is this the end of game rewrites, modding and everything in between?
