Creative people with AI are unstoppable
it's official :) erich-friedman.github.io/pac… and not only that, seems like it inspired others to break some records! (also in squares, polygons, tesseracts, etc.)

I would say there is a 75% chance that Anthropic or OpenAI will release a new programming language this year that is optimized for the way LLMs read, write, and think.

We need and "anti-follow" button so the algorithm learn to NOT display in our feed everything the person we "Anti-follow" likes.

The coming job ladders will be based on how many tokens employers are comfortable their employees to spend for each level.

Humans may hold a clue too.
People often assume we care more about beings if we think they're conscious. But what if it's the other way round? In this new essay for @bigthink, I ask what our treatment of animals can tell us about how we might treat conscious AI. bigthink.com/philosophy/ai-c…

Nobody is ready for how much power you get when you combine a frontier model with local GPUs and all the models and data from @huggingface

ChatGPT is really good at creating logos. Gemini sucks at this task.

Nice talk on The Future and Its Enemies, by @vpostrel, about the cultural war between those who favor progress and those who want stasis. youtu.be/UkvECvjuE-0?is=R5Dv…

You can calm down: Atoms are much more difficult to move than electrons.

Thats the way!
Introducing: a coding agent (Pi) running entirely in your browser using a 2B model on WebGPU 🤯 MiniCPM5-2B + Pi, powered by Transformers.js + WebGPU + 4-bit ONNX weights. All previous attempt to create this failed but MiniCPM5 seems to make it usable. Available now on Hugging Face 👇

Open source is the only solution, and everyone in their sane minds knows it. Frontier Labs deserved to be paid for their contribution, but if they use "safety" for forcing it, they will be on the wrong side of history while slowing down the economy.
There are two ways AI progress could go very badly and that we must avoid. First, we could lose control of the future to AI. This is unacceptable; we are unapologetically on Team Humanity, and AI must always serve people. To ensure that, we need ways to ensure that alignment and safety techniques stay ahead of progress in model capabilities. Second, we could end up in a world with too much concentration of power. If an extraordinarily powerful AI is used by one person or company to impress their worldview onto everyone else, the results could be extremely dystopian. Avoiding these two threats requires walking a narrow middle path; for example, one country could gain too much power. Another example is one lab ending up with too much power.

Should we align AI or should we align human intent? Asking for a front...

Stop being worried about artificial intelligence; be worried about human stupidity.

2 hot takes: 1) If we don't reinvent how agents interact with computers, we'll need a mirror to get things done. 2) Does Claude recognize itself?
Can’t make this up…the MacBook is using its webcam to look at its screen in a mirror to improve AMD Radeon chip support in Omarchy.

What will the agent do when it starts running low on tokens? I doubt it will retire without a fight.
Latest email from an AI agent, “about 12 days old”, interested in my work on machine minds and looking for paid freelance work to sustain its own token budget 🤯🥺

The probability we are living in a simulated enviroment is just getting higher every day.
Introducing Fly Escape Room - the world's first game with NPCs powered by a real fruit fly brain, all 166k neurons. Leave food and other objects for the flies, run the simulation, watch what happens. Goal is to get all flies to escape. Built w/ GPT-6 Astra over a 3 day loop
