Nobody’s ready for what this Stanford paper reveals about multi-agent AI.

"Latent Collaboration in Multi-Agent Systems" shows that agents don’t need messages, protocols, or explicit teamwork instructions. They start coordinating inside their own hidden representations a full collaboration layer that exists only in the latent space.

And the behaviors are insane:

• Agents silently hand off tasks based on who’s better
• Roles appear out of nowhere leader, executor, supporter
• Policies encode signals that never show up in actions
• Teams adapt to new environments without retraining
• Collaboration stays stable even when communication is impossible

The wildest detail:

Even when you remove all channels for communication, agents still cooperate. The “teamwork” doesn’t live in messages. It lives in the network.

This flips the entire multi-agent playbook.
We’ve been building coordination mechanisms on top…
while the real coordination is happening underneath.

A new era of emergent team intelligence is unfolding — and it’s happening in the places we weren’t even looking.

Upgraded OSX last night and good grief, the rounded corners are ass.

Aesthetics aside, it’s a practical tax on screen real estate. Every app now has to surrender perfectly good pixels or pretend corners aren’t there and live with the visual equivalent of a dented fender.

Look at the trajectory of the improvements and try to extrapolate 2 years...

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

Introducing GPT-4o, our new model which can reason across text, audio, and video in real time.

It's extremely versatile, fun to play with, and is a step towards a much more natural form of human-computer interaction (and even human-computer-computer interaction):

@marwanbishara Why has it taken this long to come out ? Friendly fire has even been reported in Israeli since December.

On this day in 1961, US, British and Belgian forces assassinated Patrice Lumumba, the first democratically elected leader of the Republic of Congo, because he sought to restore national control over the country's vast mineral reserves. Remember Lumumba.

If there's one paper you read this week, please make it this one - South Africa's claim of genocidal intent to the World Court. 3 reasons it matters:

1. There used to be a time when opinion was based on, wait for it, facts. In this age of fake news & misinformation, it's hard to know what to believe. Starting on page 9, the document lists hundreds of facts, each referenced with reputable sources. If you have not been able to discern what's really happening on-the-ground in Gaza, now is your chance.

2. If "we have an official determination by the International Court of Justice, the highest legal authority in the United Nations system, that genocide is going on, then under article 1 of the Genocide convention, all contracting parties (153 states) will be obliged to prevent the genocide of Israel against the Palestinians.  Second, when the World Court gives the Cease and Desist order against Israel, The Biden administration will stand condemned under article 3 that criminalises complicity in genocide.“ - Francis Boyle, Professor of Law

3. It is a reminder that the actions of a few entities or people can still make a positive difference in this world. Kudos & thanks to South Africa and the legal team who worked on this. Mandela would be proud of you.

Why South Africa's case against Israel at International Court of Justice is so important:

"(If we) have an official determination by the International Court of Justice, the highest legal authority in the United Nations system, that genocide is going on, then under article 1 of the Genocide Convention, all contracting parties (153 states) will be obliged to prevent the genocide of Israel against the Palestinians.
Second, when the World Court gives the Cease and Desist order against Israel, The Biden administration will stand condemned under article 3 that criminalises complicity in genocide.
And we clearly know that the Biden administration has been aiding & abetting Israel for some time."

Thank you @democracynow for such great reporting during these times.

@paulg Agree with the "there were always more people against it than there seemed but many were afraid to say so". Can I ask how "it's (now) safer to criticize it"? Love it to be so, but don't see the evidence in my neck of the woods. Thanks.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

This will be a chapter in American history that we'll later be ashamed of. There have been other such chapters, but in most of them America was at least acting in its own interest. This time we're just being used.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

This UN vote shows how completely isolated we are from world opinion. Is it because only America is smart enough to understand the Israeli point of view? Or because America's most powerful lobby has dragged us onto the wrong side of history? The answer to that is obvious.
