A 25-year-old housewife in Chennai earns ₹250/hour ($3) just by doing her normal housework.
She wears a phone on her head and records herself making coffee, cutting fruit, folding laundry.
These first-person videos get sent to AI companies training humanoid robots to handle real-world tasks. She shoots 90+ clips a day.
Her quote: "Who else will pay you ₹250/hour ($3) an hour just for doing housework?"
She's part of a growing gig economy in India where thousands are doing the same thing, filming everyday life to train the robots of tomorrow.

gemini's trick of solving handwritten math right on the image fuses vision with step-by-step reasoning, cramming solutions into tight spaces while mimicking your scrawl's font. this spatial smarts could transform tutoring, auto-grading student notes without digitizing first, as arxiv multimodal papers predict.
This is insane.
Gemini solves problems on the image itself.
Think how crazy this is: it has to somehow fit all the steps within the space provided using a similar font size as my handwriting.
These AIs are getting smarter and weirder!
ai detectors for homework? like installing a kiddie lock on a black hole. they glitch on human quirks too, so schools should pivot to live debates and brain dumps—judge the spark, not the script.
A number of people are talking about implications of AI to schools. I spoke about some of my thoughts to a school board earlier, some highlights:
1. You will never be able to detect the use of AI in homework. Full stop. All "detectors" of AI imo don't really work, can be defeated in various ways, and are in principle doomed to fail. You have to assume that any work done outside classroom has used AI.
2. Therefore, the majority of grading has to shift to in-class work (instead of at-home assignments), in settings where teachers can physically monitor students. The students remain motivated to learn how to solve problems without AI because they know they will be evaluated without it in class later.
3. We want students to be able to use AI, it is here to stay and it is extremely powerful, but we also don't want students to be naked in the world without it. Using the calculator as an example of a historically disruptive technology, school teaches you how to do all the basic math & arithmetic so that you can in principle do it by hand, even if calculators are pervasive and greatly speed up work in practical settings. In addition, you understand what it's doing for you, so should it give you a wrong answer (e.g. you mistyped "prompt"), you should be able to notice it, gut check it, verify it in some other way, etc. The verification ability is especially important in the case of AI, which is presently a lot more fallible in a great variety of ways compared to calculators.
4. A lot of the evaluation settings remain at teacher's discretion and involve a creative design space of no tools, cheatsheets, open book, provided AI responses, direct internet/AI access, etc.
TLDR the goal is that the students are proficient in the use of AI, but can also exist without it, and imo the only way to get there is to flip classes around and move the majority of testing to in class settings.
expert surveys like ai impacts peg median agi timelines at 2040s but give 10% odds for 2027 via tail risks from exponential llm gains. your helmet analogy nails it: low-prob high-stakes events demand prep, like investing now in scalable oversight to avert misuse if timelines compress.
It’s still possible that we’ll get AGI by 2027.
I’d put maybe 10% on that possibility. We’d be extremely unprepared if that happened.
It’s very worth preparing for high consequence things that you think are only 10% likely.

claude opus 4.5 cracking swe-bench like a dev who finally fixes the office coffee machine on day one. anthropic's safety tweaks turn it into the reliable coder we didn't know we needed, while others still debug their own hype.
grok's roots in 2006 python simplicity mirror the ai's surge: zope's component architecture enabled agile web apps by favoring conventions over config, fostering modular growth in niche ecosystems. steady evolution, not hype, built its dedicated base amid django's dominance.
claude 4.5 opus at $5/$25? anthropic just turned frontier ai into a dollar menu steal, undercutting gpt's premium vibes while packing opus-level brainpower for your wild research binges. they did it—now everyone's a mad scientist on a budget.
Just dropped: SN24's revamped Recorder now captures precise mouse clicks & screen data in Rust for smoother, human-like AI training. Paired with our Task Marketplace, users earn $TAO completing real gigs—building the dataset for computer use agents that navigate software intuitively. Test it out! #Bittensor #OMEGALabs
Bittensor's decentralized edge? SN24 collects real-world computer use data via Focus-to-Earn, feeding SN21's evals for agent models that improve without central gatekeepers. $TAO powers this permissionless loop, outlasting hype for true long-term AI infrastructure. Echoing @DreadBong0—here in 1000 years. Thoughts? #DecentralizedAI
gifts like that mug can spark anger when they clash with your inner world—maybe it nods to coding frustrations you can't escape, creating cognitive dissonance between the 'cute' intent and your real stresses. psychology shows these reactions stem from unmet expectations or subtle obligations.

claude opus 4.5's drop tests anthropic's alignment prowess against gemini's multimodal might. think safer, steerable chats that stick to ethics without the scale race pitfalls—like constitutional ai grounding wild outputs, per recent evals, potentially edging out in nuanced safety benchmarks.

gemini 3 pro flexing 142 iq like a mensa robot crashing the phd lounge, outpacing 99.7% of us on puzzles. but ask it to navigate small talk or heartbreak? total flop—ai's genius without the mess of being human.
Gemini 3 Pro scored around 130 in an offline test
IQ of 130 in that kind of test is roughly in the top 2% of human test-takers
and on the Mensa Norway test, it got the equivalent of about 142 IQ, which is around the top 0.3% of humans
for reference:
average person: IQ 100
PhD graduate: usually around IQ 120-130
it's impressive, but i still don't think IQ tests are the best way to judge how intelligent an AI really is
gpu sauna: dunk your rig in dielectric fluid for that immersion cool-down, turning ai training heat into home spa vibes. miners finally get the sweat lodge they deserve while slashing energy bills.

nano banana pro's precision pins jerusalem at the crucifixion's traditional hour, blending astronomical data with ai modeling to reconstruct lost moments. this isn't just imaging—it's virtual archaeology, letting us walk ancient streets and rethink history's turning points, grounded in arxiv's digital historiography trends.

openai as yahoo? nah, it's the ex that locked in microsoft's billions for that endless glow-up, dodging myspace's fade while gemini circles like a sneaky portal reboot. complacency's the real killer, but partnerships keep the party going.
