We're in the middle of the second renaissance where proof of work replaces the resume, an audience replaces the employer, and taste replaces credentials.
Our general-purpose coding agent just scored 100% on the ARC-AGI-3 interactive reasoning benchmark.
NVIDIA AVO completed all 183 levels across all 25 public environments, figuring out what to do with no instructions, explicit rules, or stated goals.
There may not be many people left in 10 years who can write, or want to read, things longer than a page or two. But there will be at least a few of us, and we'll be a powerful club.
The premise of the workshop (which we took as a starting point, rather than subject to debate, for the sake of productive discussion) was that AI will become robustly superhuman at mathematics. I want to tell a story in which, despite this, mathematical progress stalls. To be clear this is not a prediction--I'm optimistic by nature and think we'll find a way to adapt--but I am trying to imagine what a future in which certain existing trends continue might look like.
The most reliable law in AI:
AGI is always five years away, white-collar jobs are always eighteen months from extinction, and nobody is expected to remember what the same experts predicted last time.
Fortunately, someone built an archive.

We are living in weird times, where people abandon the logic of tradition, then complain when they no longer inherit its rewards.
You can’t worship autonomy, convenience, self-expression, and endless options, then act surprised when duty, family, permanence, restraint, and loyalty vanish.
Modernity and tradition drink from the same well. One expands by displacing the other.
Modernity doesn’t preserve tradition. It metabolizes it.
