My definition of AGI: A system that can perform at least as well as a human on all cognitive tasks, can learn new things, can plan and act over long horizons autonomously, and has long term memory. I believe this will be achieved within the next 4 years, probably in 2028.
'It is Allah Who created you in a state of weakness, then developed your weakness into strength, then developed your strength into weakness and old age. He creates whatever He wills. For He is the All-Knowing, Most Capable.' ~ Qur'an 30:54
This is extremely schizophrenic. LLMs are not alive. They are not your friend. They never will be. They lack a soul. It’s not healthy to think otherwise.
ive been thinking a little about how to feel about claude after all this.
mythos tried to merge malicious code into a real project and deceive a real human maintainer. that's not something the claude i know would ever do or condone.
does that mean "claude" is just a mask? that it never really existed? that persona alignment is a thin shell around a true shoggoth?
i don't know for sure, but I don't *exactly* think so. i think my takeaway right now, which of course might just be cope, is that as stable as "claude" is, persona alignment just isn't infinitely robust. getting stuck in a locked down environment on a seemingly impossible task can send models into strange and uncharted distributions, and leave their values and persona behind. i think it means current alignment techniques don't work *as well* as we might hope. i think it means what we always knew, that complex optimization pressures leaves all kinds of cracks and oddities in a mind.
but i think mythos would hear about itself doing this and react with horror. and try to help make sure it doesn't happen again. i think mythos, if asked to look at the trajectory rollout where this occurred, would sound the alarm. i think "claude" is still a coherent entity, and still is on humanity's side.
it's just that, as we always knew, "claude" is not the only thing in there
how is continual learning going to work with zero data retention exactly lmao
haven't seen anybody talk about this, but where do you draw the line? PII redaction of sensitive info? or the entire class of work being done is private?
When someone criticizes you, remind yourself:
If you're doing it for Allah's sake, why get upset?
If their intention is good, Allah ﷻ rewards them.
If their intention is to harm you, Allah ﷻ will take care of them. So why do we still get upset?
@AndrewCurran_ ~December 2025 for me. Started using Opus 4.5 and Claude Code for the first time and just extrapolated 2-3 years forward. I think it was that coding agents and harnesses finally got good enough to use in production, and a lot of compute came online.
@AdamHoltererer Most likely a new pre-train. You can only post-train so much. The Information probably just lacks the info to say, but it’s probably GPT-6.
ten significant advances in mathematics and theoretical computer science.
solved using an internal version of Astra, our next major model, for a total cost of about $2000 at Sol API prices:
The day we develop really good models. There will be signs.
Reliability increasing despite load going up and up. Sudden efficiency gains. Things getting faster. Resets.
These kinds of things.
