🚨Stop scrolling. Let me explain what this actually means in plain English.
AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is an AI system that can perform ANY intellectual task a human can do. Not one task. ALL of them. At human level or above.
That's what Elon Musk just said is coming THIS YEAR.
Now let me put this in perspective for you:
Right now, AI is "dumb." It can only do what you tell it, It follows instructions, It makes mistakes, It hallucinates. And it's ALREADY:
> Replacing entire departments
> Writing code faster than engineers
> Passing the bar exam, medical boards, CPA exams
> Running businesses from a single prompt
That's the DUMB version.
AGI is the version that doesn't need your prompt. It figures out what to do on its own. It reasons. It plans. It learns from mistakes without being told.
Imagine your coworker. But they never sleep, never take breaks, never ask for a raise, never call in sick, work 24/7, and they cost $20/month.
That's AGI.
And the guy who owns the robots, the rockets, the brain chips, AND an AI company just said it's coming before Christmas.
You're not ready for this.
Nobody is. 💀
🦔 A creator is running 150 TikTok accounts with just three interns, all posting AI-generated videos. The setup uses racks of phones running automated content generation and posting. One account alone showed a $7,000 payout request.
My Take
Engagement farms aren't new. They've been a huge industry for over a decade, particularly for social manipulation and content theft. What's changed is the economics. Previously you needed people to steal and repost content, or create something. Now three interns can manage 150 accounts because the content generates itself.
This is where the AI video tools we keep covering end up. Not just deepfakes of celebrities or one-off viral clips, but industrialized slop production running 24/7. The platforms pay out based on engagement, and the algorithms don't distinguish between content a person spent hours making and content a script churned out in seconds. So the incentives push toward volume over quality, flooding feeds with generated noise. The creators making actual content are now competing against operations that can produce thousands of videos per day at near-zero marginal cost. I don't know how that competition ends well for them.

@aiti_maa@mtrantalainen Miten vaikeaa olisikaan ollut printata tuo paperi ihan millä tahansa muulla ohjelma, joista jokainen kyllä tukee tavuviivaa / miinusmerkkiä.
GPT-5 just casually did new mathematics.
Sebastien Bubeck gave it an open problem from convex optimization, something humans had only partially solved. GPT-5-Pro sat down, reasoned for 17 minutes, and produced a correct proof improving the known bound from 1/L all the way to 1.5/L.
This wasn’t in the paper. It wasn’t online. It wasn��t memorized. It was new math. Verified by Bubeck himself.
Humans later closed the gap at 1.75/L, but GPT-5 independently advanced the frontier.
A machine just contributed original research-level mathematics.
If you’re not completely stunned by this, you’re not paying attention.
We’ve officially entered the era where AI isn’t just learning math, it’s creating it. @sama @OpenAI @kevinweil @gdb @markchen90
Eight years ago I started writing a book that said bitcoin is likely to keep going up. I was right. Now I am a happy well-adjusted person that doesn't have to write walls of text coping by blaming the entire planet for not living up to my misunderstandings.
Meta, Google, and Microsoft all use encryption built by the same 50-person nonprofit.
Zero revenue from 2 billion users. The founder uses a fake name. And when the FBI subpoenaed them, they only provided 2 pieces of data.
Here's how a non-profit secures the internet🧵
This paper didn’t go viral but it should have.
A tiny AI model called HRM just beat Claude 3.5 and Gemini.
It doesn’t even use tokens.
They said it was just a research preview.
But it might be the first real shot at AGI.
Here’s what really happened and why OpenAI should be worried: 🧵
Facebook once bought a VPN app for $120M and turned it into a surveillance tool that spied on 33M+ users' entire phones for years.
This app helped Zuck buy WhatsApp for a whopping $19B and break Snapchat's encryption.

@DenisJeliazkov Otherwise I agree with this post but not on Spotify. Its UI gives my brain a headache and I can never find what I’m looking for, or continue where I just left off earlier. I always have to hunt for “Playlists” button. Apple Music is cleaner.
