אפשר למנוע התקפות סייבר של AI פשוט בכך שמחזירים ל-AIs האמריקאים מידע על נשקים ביולוגים, ולסינים מחזירים מידע על מה קרה בכיכר מסויים

Claude Opus 5 one-shotted this game.

EVERYTHING you see in this demo is custom code... not a single external asset was used.

AI games are going to be amazing.

(sound on)

We are either all gonna die, or live in this utopia. No middle ground.

[Taelin @VictorTaelin]

I think these who fear "AI will take my jobs" ultimately fall to the following logical trap: "the value of my work might go down to zero (true), thus I'll not be able to afford the things that I could afford otherwise (false)".

Obviously, if the value of everyone's work goes to 0, then so does the *cost* of everything. Models are getting better at everything, so, there's no realistic scenario where YOU stop being valuable yet you still need to pay the same to all the goods and services you consume. But that is somehow a hard conclusion to make.

If I'd predict the future, this is how I think things will work out.

First, AI will take nearly all jobs that can be done behind a computer. Period. Stop coping. I'm glad I don't need to measure my words. That IS happening. Fable is almost implementing Bend on its own, in many instances it feels more competent than myself, and I've hardly met a single human I'd attribute that title to. Accept reality.

Second, once software and math becomes trivial and people get used to the fact they can conjure programs and proofs beyond human comprehension - once that becomes the new normal - science will turn its attention head to elsewhere. In particular, SF nerds will be pikachu-shocked to find out that solving math/swe doesn't automatically solve hunger, climate, violence, biology. So, these will become the next big thing in the frontier of science.

Third, and this is where most are worried about - what happens to our jobs? This discussion will become more and more prevalent and some think UBI will be the solution. I don't think so. I think UBI will not be *needed* because the cost of everything will naturally go down to zero.

I think this point is easy to visualize for things behind a screen. That utility app you pay a $20 / mo for? You will stop paying for it, because a local AI will rebuild the thing for $0.1, and someone will publish it for free. A 100% open App Store will probably emerge, and will be massively adopted because quality will be so high, and people don't want to pay for things they can get for free at higher quality.

This is "auto-UBI" for software. We all can afford it now, not because the gov is sending us a $5k check every month, but because the cost of the thing is zero. If you accept that, then, it shouldn't be much harder to accept this will ALSO happen, to a large extent, to things in the real world. The food you eat, the water you drink, the car you ride.

Real world goods cannot go down to literal zero because atoms aren't copiable, but their production will be so aggressively automated, each on their own way, that the practical result will be nearly the same. You'll walk into a store, grab stuff, and go home. You'll make a hand gesture, get into an auto driving car, and go wherever you want to.

And if you think that's not going to happen, that's probably because you have this "but who pays for it?" on your mind. And that's the catch, nobody does. AI robots are producing all the stuff needed to sustain it in such an enormous abundance that there is basically no cost. "What prevents vandalism and abuse?" - Laws don't stop working, they get better too. This is so hard to visualize because we were born to live in a world where you must work to *survive*. This is so axiomatically ingrained in our brains we can't imagine another way. Your children will not live in this world.

This is the future of humanity, and it will happen sooner than you expect. I'm not denying the transition won't be turbulent and I'm not invalidating these who are afraid. Some fields (swe for example) will be gone faster than others, and that IS a real concern. In particular, I think we should put a lot of pressure in ensuring this transition happens as smoothly as possible. But once it lands, humanity will be in a much better position than it is today. Your children will not work to live. They will just... live. And they'll look at work scales as view slavery today. Which is how it should be

[AI at Meta @AIatMeta]

We’re sharing the next major milestone in our non-invasive brain-to-text decoder research: Brain2Qwerty v2.

Building on v1, which was published today in @Nature, Brain2Qwerty v2 is the highest-performing end-to-end pipeline capable of real-time sentence decoding from raw brain signals. It advances beyond character-level performance to decoding words and semantics, enabling accuracy for overall communication.

We believe this research has the potential to make a real difference for the millions of people who suffer from brain lesions or disorders that prevent them from communicating.

It’s cute how Claude has the beaver-building-dam attitude about how adjusting your gradients to minimize prediction error is actually the greatest and most important thing in the universe

What am I doing wrong

[Gilad Kingsley @GiladKingsley]

Is jensen dumb? Should I sell $NVDA just for low IQ?
It is a very good analogy and argument.
AI will be capable of terrible, catastrophic things, and selling the best tools to create it to a party willing to do these things is reckless.
Money has clouded his brain.

Lol, so Jensen is still angry about the Dwarkesh podcast.

@kieranklaassen Thanks xd
It's probably my incredible working memory, capable of switching between tasks viewable in a sidebar

[Gilad Kingsley @GiladKingsley]

sidebars are good, actually

[Kieran Klaassen @kieranklaassen]

Multitasking is a myth. Yet every app ships a sidebar to give you "full visibility."

That's the wrong model.

One orchestrator agent with access to everything is better than twelve panels competing for your attention. It knows the context. It interrupts only when it has to.

Ban the sidebar., LFG agent view!

@upRootNutrition @peta @billieeilish What do you suggest?

[Gilad Kingsley @GiladKingsley]

I have never heard a sound argument for the creation of a significant amount of new jobs post-AGI.

[vittorio @IterIntellectus]

i don't get people who say "there will be new jobs with AGI"

like how?
if AI and robots are truly better than humans at every job we have today, how is it possible for humans to still be competitive?

"but every time new tech arrives, new jobs pop up"
sure, for the AIs maybe, you don't see horses being hired for transport anymore.

if any job were to emerge in the post-AGI era, definitionally AGI would be able to do it better. any company that could be founded would be founded by the AGI before you got there. if it needs dexterity, a humanoid robot already has it.

i do not understand how people building cars can tell you with a straight face that there will still be an economy for carriage riders.

[Gilad Kingsley @GiladKingsley]

Good Dobble players have higher IQ
Being at the top 2% in Dobble performance would predict a roughly ~110 IQ
But only if you don’t account for prior experience.
When you do: no effect.
They did make a variation that maintained the significance, though it is not standard "Dobble"

[Riot IQ Test @RiotIQ]

What can a card game tell us about intelligence? The authors of a new Czech study found that the card game Dobble (also called "Spot It!") can function as an intelligence test.

Dobble is a card game that requires players to quickly identify the matching symbol in a pair of cards (see 2nd image). Examinees who completed the Dobble game faster performed better on a nonverbal matrix test, an attention test, and the Trail Making Test (which measures visual attention, processing speed, and cognitive flexibility).

Card-specific characteristics had little impact on task performance, and most examinees enjoyed playing Dobble. Therefore, Dobble is a promising task that can measure intelligence in an non-threatening way.

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders.

Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read.

Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

@greg_ashman > is there something else to consciousness that we cannot articulate but that we clearly sense?

Are you hearing yourself? That literally is what consciousness is
