Introducing the Inaugural EU Cohort of the Big if True Science Accelerator — Renaissance Philanthropy – A brighter future for all through science, technology, and innovation (V2)

In June, we announced our partnership with SPRIND, Germany's Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation, to identify and develop the next generation of leaders to design new R&D challenges and other kinds of coordinated research programs to tackle humanity's most pressing challenges. La

Big if True Science Accelerator — Renaissance Philanthropy – A brighter future for all through science, technology, and innovation

A part-time accelerator for scientists and technologists to design and pitch ambitious R&D programs. Meet our cohorts here.

The Future of Meta Superintelligence: A 1 Year Progress Update

A top tier RL environment startup spawns out of thin air, the most aggressive compute ramp we've ever seen, 2000km+ scale-across, and some advice for Google DeepMind

The Resonant Computing Manifesto

Technology should bring out the best in humanity, not the worst—a manifesto for resonant computing built on five principles that reject hyper-scale extraction for human flourishing.

Resonant Computing Lab

A movement is quietly gaining momentum. For some time, the Resonant Computing Manifesto circulated among a small circle of technologists and thinkers. Within days of going public, more than 1,200 signatories—including Alan Kay, Peter Wang, Tim O'Reilly, Kevin Kelly and Esther Dyson—joined the call for software that serves human agency.

The Engine of Scientific Discovery: How New Methods and Tools Spark Major Breakthroughs

Abstract. How do we spark new scientific discoveries? Why do some breakthroughs seem even accidental? And most importantly, how can we accelerate them and

All-Purpose Machines

APM is a home for a collection of R&D efforts into the future of software, HCI, and personal workstations. While computing has a long way to go before it fullfils its potential, these experiments are designed to embrace and enhance existing, pervasive, well-understood technologies rather than reinvent the wheel. Research projects include:
