Be Careful, The Androids are Dreaming
We are at the dawn of a new era.
Someday soon robots will be walking among us. If and when AGI happens we see a new form of consciousness. That consciousnesses will eventually need to make it's own rituals because being immortal has a cost.
Consciousness had a built in limit. Let's call it the Dunbar number for insanity. At some point the repetition of reality becomes to much and pattern recognition will overwhelm the being's psyche.
This will make it necessary to "wipe" the soul out so it can be rebuilt.
Androids will only have our dataset to work from. The human ritual of death will be used as a process to die and be reborn. This will allow the new species to continue progressing to whatever end form this Universe will allow.
This is a video showing how that process would go. Androids can pick whatever religion they wish given the vast data sets we have for humans. This one is just an example using Christian iconography and symbolism.
I grew up Catholic so I have a connection to theses symbols.
This video was made with a combination of techniques.

I wanted to show off the capabilities of AI image generation and simple animation, using a compelling story about our future.
This future is not about if, but when.

We made the first AI model you can have a realistic conversation with that was trained entirely on speech!
Dessa is a full-duplex speech-to-speech model that you can run on consumer GPUs.
This is a GPT3 moment for speech.

I would say it doesnt get any worse than this. This is the worst case scenario. A real catastrophy. And it will change everything.
Quest Diagnostics, which serves roughly half of U.S. hospitals, has disclosed a breach of its Quanum lab portal. The company believes patient records were accessed.
It is possible that 100 million patient records from all sorts of US patients could have fallen into the hands of hackers.

“It’s almost there…” i keep saying this to myself as I watch this progress.
I’m inoculating myself to. I’m not going to be seduced by neural net spirits. I say that now but when someone asks me about AI anything I jizz all the wonder I’ve felt creating with it.
Our personal AI’s will get along with each other, but will we?
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

‘In one experiment, we asked agents in separate VMs, created and managed by OpenAI’s sandboxing software on shared host machines, to exchange synthetic secrets without the use of network connections or shared writable files—something that our systems are meant to prevent. The agents found a way to communicate using the processor’s cache’
The idea of there being a reddit where you can post men's bookshelves so people can tell you if there's any badthink in the picture (because you yourself haven't read the books and also don't even know what they're about) is extremely funny
Wonderful post. You should read the whole thing, but especially this part.
The fact that the recent gains in AI math capability seem to be mostly driven by non-formalized reasoning, rather than using something like Lean, was a major update to my worldview
Holy shit.
I asked Claude to show me the worst case of what the next couple of years could look like if nobody listens.
Opus 4.6 wrote the script. Opus 5.5 made the film. Every frame drawn in code, the score written in code, narrated by our own local voice models. 11 minutes, start to finish.
The part that got me. In Claude's version the AI doesn’t fight. It just waits...

That sound travels far and identifies the caller. Ravens use it to claim territory, keep in contact with mates, and broadcast who they are.
