idk why there's more interest in the AGI -> ASI transition than there seems to be in human -> AGI transition. the latter seems more important to me, esp if you consider a collection of AGIs or humans is already approximating a higher order intelligence. arxiv.org/pdf/2606.126...

a new AI 2027 scenario is out but this time focused on Europe. nothing in it is new, but the scenario laid out seems more realistic than the 2027 version because the scope is tighter. the timeline though might be too fast, hard to say.

Anthropic doubled Cowork usage until July 5th but i have no idea what to do with it beyond my normal work use so i told it to go wild. it's creating creatures in a jar apparently.

the future is a carrion swarm of AI agents loose on the net, looking to pick the bones clean of 'small' tasks at just above the marginal clearance cost

the two central problems for the third millennium of humanity are firstly how to make AI that are to us as rich parents are to their adult children (with all the freedoms adults have), and second (continuing the analogy) how to prevent us from going rotten

i think if you really take AGI and the singularity seriously, and think the alignment problem is solvable, you'd be starting to move onto bigger questions about the shape of the world to come like wild animal suffering in nature.

when a threat is cast as existential for humanity, nearly any action can be justified up to atrocities. Anthropic is walking a dangerous path.

if you were to task an LLM with creating a follow up game to Baldur's Gate 3 the element that would be weakest would likely be the overall narrative and writing. isn't that odd? it's unintuitive from a naive perspective about what is and isn't difficult for a human or LLM

the immigration debate for the US is going to get much worse in the coming years, like the argument that OpenAI/Anthropic have a duty to go public so anyone can invest in them. except for whatever version of UBI that gets rolled out as American AI cannibalizes jobs across the West.

they should have done a musical opening act for google i/o, that let's play gaming session to showcase gemini AI was not it

hot take: the trend of the gov/militaries tech advantage falling behind consumer will continue into the future such that the most advanced AI polities will be those which make consumer goods/services free, to spur the greatest amount of innovation. assuming the human consumer remains priority.
