I don't mind crowing about things I have been correct about. I'ma say it again, the curve is flat at the top. Models can be improved, until they can't. Now we are at the point in #AI history where there are only MORE models, new ways of connecting them, and maybe the MOST IMPORTANT: new ways to make them more energy efficient. The major social concern should be job disruption, and #Waymo is going to be your first mass evidence of that. #superintelligence just hit wall.

WIRED · OpenAI Scrambles to Update GPT-5 After Users RevoltBy Will Knight

OMG Geoffrey Hinton (one of the godfathers of AI and nobel price winner for it) thinks about LLMs like I do: they are not the stochastical parrots some claim they are but they learn and think much like we do, which we fail to want to accept in our human exceptionalist view. Very interesting.

I don't share his conclusion that an AI superintelligence is a bad thing for humankind. It cannot mess up more than we do, honestly.

"As I say in the book, Andreessen’s manifesto runs almost entirely on vibes, not logic. I think someone may have told him about the futurist manifesto at some point, and he just sort of liked the general vibe, which is why he paraphrases a part of it. Maybe he learned something about Marinetti and forgot it. Maybe he didn’t care.

I really believe that when you get as rich as some of these guys are, you can just do things that seem like thinking and no one is really going to correct you or tell you things you don’t want to hear. For many of these billionaires, the vibes of fascism, authoritarianism, and colonialism are attractive because they’re fundamentally about creating a fantasy of control."

MIT Technology Review · Tech billionaires are making a risky bet with humanity’s futureBy Bryan Gardiner

"Mark Zuckerberg notified Meta staff today to introduce them to the new superintelligence team. The memo, which WIRED obtained, lists names and bios for the recently hired employees, many of whom came from rival AI firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google.

Over the past few months, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been on a recruiting frenzy to poach some of the most sought-after talent in AI. The social media giant has invested $14.3 billion in Scale AI and hired Alexandr Wang, its CEO, to run Meta’s Superintelligence Labs. News of the memo was first reported by Bloomberg.

“We’re going to call our overall organization Meta Superintelligence Labs (MSL). This includes all of our foundations, product, and FAIR teams, as well as a new lab focused on developing the next generation of our models,” Zuckerberg wrote in the memo on Monday. Meta declined to comment."

"If you think this sounds weird, mystical, and god-like, you’d be correct. The last bizarre direction of discourse about #AGI is that it plays into the idea of a big, possibly benevolent #robotgod who will rescue humans from ourselves—that is, if we happen to imbue it with the right values. These people believe in one of two versions of a technological future: either an AGI that is trained with proper values will lead to a world of limitless #abundance, where we live in #post-human forms, or a big robot #superintelligence will wipe us out."

Tech Policy Press · The Myth of AGI | TechPolicy.PressAlex Hanna and Emily M. Bender write that claims of "Artificial General Intelligence" are a cover for abandoning the current social contract.

“Even by #SiliconValley’s historically rarefied standards, #BigAI is spending stratospheric amounts on talent this year. #Meta (Facebook) has invested $15bn in #ScaleAI, a #data labelling start-up that claims just 900 #employees.

Scale’s 28-year-old chief executive, #AlexanderWang, will take up a job at a new Meta lab devoted to creating #AI#superintelligence”. His cash and equity in the deal is reported to be worth some $5bn, making him one of the most expensive so-called “#AcquiHires” on record.”
