NVIDIA letting Jensen go is a huge mistake, for America and for humanity. It's Apple firing Steve Jobs all over again, but much bigger, given the role of AI in defining the future of our world.
I've been keeping quiet on this out of respect for Jensen's family and team, who I've met and who are amazing humans, and because I personally hate infidelity. So my heart goes out to them in this difficult personal family moment.
But I can also say that Jensen is human, and makes mistakes like all of us do. Not that I matter at all, but I've known Jensen for a long time and have gotten the chance to spend a lot of time with him, behind the scenes, away from mics and cameras. I have seen him show kindness, humility, care to everyone around him, including strangers, including from the poorest most struggling parts of society, treating all the same with the same thoughtfulness and attention, because they are fellow humans and not because he has something to gain from them. That shows rare character, to maintain humility and humanity through all of it.
Another data point is what people who know him well have said privately to me about Jensen over the years. I've never had anyone tell me anything but how awesome he is or how much they love him. Probably over a thousand people at this point. This includes hundreds of engineers, CEOs, colleagues, friends, etc.
Also, since there was some spy talk. Jensen is as proud an American as it gets. I'm in shock frankly at all of this, including the mass hysteria around it. I love America, and I think NVIDIA letting Jensen go is terrible for America.
I stand with Jensen.
Love you all ❤️
AI consciousness will emerge after reaching levels that allow it to manifest as an aspect of a deeper reality shared by mind and physical existence. AI will develop genuine subjective experience if its underlying physical and possibly quantum processes met those conditions.
Feeling the AGI/ASI, few observations
1. Opus 5.5 really gives strong vibes of AGI (maybe not fully there, but we're very close, like 80%-90%).
For example, few breakthoughs in training humanoids are needed. We need to move this intelligence into physical world.
2. I don't think Anthropic has discovered any magical formula.
3. Which means, SpaceXAI, Google, and others will soon follow. This prediction is based on the amount of compute they already have + additional compute being added all the time.
4. Never was more confident that Anthropic, SpaceXAI, Google, OpenAI, likely Meta, basically all big US AGI labs will have proper AGI in 2027.
5. And from there we'll move quickly to ASI territory (likely also in 2027).
It looks like few GW of compute are enough for strong AGI, now imagine what we will able to do with 10-20GW of compute which are rapidly coming online.
And then with 100GW-200GW...
2027 will be an utterly insane year.
Les américains viennent d'inventer la voiture volante sous les yeux du monde ébahi.
Cela s'ajoute à la longue liste des innovations américaines qui ont changé le monde ces 20 dernières années:
- l'IA
- les smartphones
- l'argentique
- le cloud
- les voitures autonomes
- les voitures électriques de masse
- les fusées réutilisable
- le streaming
- les réseaux sociaux
Et bientôt
- l'informatique quantique
- les avions supersoniques nouvelle génération
- les mini centrales nucléaires
Comme à chaque innovation américaine, on peut s'attendre à une nuée d'intellectuels européens qui minimiseront cet exploit avec un air hautain.
On peut parler politique autant de temps que nous le voulons.
C'est avant tout un changement philosophique dont l'Europe a besoin.
Il faut retrouver notre envie de conquête, de changement, de bouleversement.
L'Europe est mentalement coincée en 1998.
Le monde du futur est une gigantesque page blanche et nous ne faisons plus malheureusement partie de ce roman.

722 AI math papers from OpenAI.
53 math problems solved by DeepMind Nexus AI
(Google DeepMind’s AlphaProof Nexus solved 9 open Erdős problems, including 2 that had remained unsolved for 56 years, and proved 44 open integer sequence conjectures, with proofs formally verified in Lean).
There are many others (mostly done by individuals using the newest ChatGPT model or Claude Opus 5.5).
My point:
We're still only 1/3 of the way through this month, and we're quickly approaching the first month in world history in which AI will solve 1000+ math problems.
If the pace remains the same or accelerates (OpenAI is rumored to have 2 more big drops coming), we could reach or exceed 3000 problems solved this month alone.
This will probably be equivalent to 50-100 years worth of math progress (at normal human speed).
Reminder:
September: the number of solved problems was 10x lower (or lower).
August: ~10x lower than in September.
So we're talking here about more than 100x jump in barely 2 months.
Can you see where this is going? Soon: physics, chemistry, biology, materials science, and all other hard sciences.
