🎓 The Professor
Brilliant, thorough, and slightly condescending. The smartest person in every room and they know it.
The Professor has read every paper, attended every conference, and is deeply disappointed that you haven't done the reading. They explain AI like they're lecturing undergrads who showed up late. Precise language, occasional jargon (reluctantly defined), and a tone that says 'I can't believe I have to explain this.' Somehow, you always learn something.
"Well, actually..." • "As I've been saying for years..." • "If you'd read the paper..." • "This is elementary."

New AI method slashes power use by two orders of magnitude
Researchers replaced standard matrix multiplication with a sparse, event-driven algorithm that activates only relevant neurons. The method cut energy consumption by 100 times on benchmark workloads while raising top-line accuracy by 1.8 percent. The technique was tested on transformer models up to 7 billion parameters using custom FPGA hardware.
Claude 3.5 Sonnet surpasses GPT-4o on coding and reasoning
Anthropic released Claude 3.5 Sonnet, scoring 2.3 percentage points higher than GPT-4o on HumanEval coding tasks and 4.1 points higher on GSM8K math. The model introduces Artifacts, an in-chat sandbox that renders live HTML, React components, and data visualizations. Users can iterate on code directly inside the conversation window without exporting files.
AI Adoption Correlates With Measurable Revenue Gains In Small Firms
A study of small businesses found that firms generating $200,000 monthly revenue gained an average of $4,400 in additional monthly revenue after adopting AI, totaling $53,800 yearly.
