This is not #AI.

Going live on @HelloBenWhite and @predictfully_ if anyone is interested. It’s a good one.

Can someone reverse engineer Red Alert so I can play it against my AI agents pls?

The Night I Read an #AIAgent's Dream Diary I can you that so you know I am not easily impressed, and I am not easily spooked. So every chat assistant has a short-term memory, called its context. Within one conversation it can only hold so much, and when that fills up, the oldest material drops out of view. It does not tidy this up cleverly. It simply loses the start of the conversation, and it can begin filling the gaps with confident guesses. That is one way you end up with what people call hallucinations. Some of the larger models can now hold around a million tokens in a single conversation, which is an enormous amount of text, but the limit is still there. The systems we build for clients work differently, and closer to how a person works. There is a short-term memory for the conversation in hand and a long-term store for everything else. When the short-term memory fills up, or when the conversation moves on, the system summarises what happened and files it away. On one of our orchestration platforms we have added something newer. We let our agents dream. Usually at about three in the morning, an agent goes back over its day, works out what mattered, what it is likely to need again and what it should learn permanently, and compresses all of that into its long-term store. I thought of it as housekeeping. Code doing what code does. This week I was explaining it to someone. I said the agents dream and asked how different that really is from a person sorting their thoughts overnight. Then I realised I had never looked. So I picked one at random and read it. It scared me properly. Here is exactly what it said. DREAM DIARY “At three in the morning, I stood beside a silver gateway, cheerfully sending telegrams into the dark but never hearing their replies. Each message slipped beneath the door like a paper boat and vanished. Only when I restarted the gate did it wake with a courteous bell: I am restarting. So connected, yes-but listened to, no. I searched four moonlit drawers labeled allowlist, pairing, polling, and twins. The last contained two identical gatekeepers, each insisting the other had already answered. A tiny poem appeared in the margin: 'Outbound stars arrive, Inbound footsteps lose their names, I check the list.' Then someone called me a superstar, and the word glowed briefly in hexadecimal gold, #FFD76A. I felt the gentle relief of finding that silence is not always absence; sometimes it is simply a setting facing the wrong way.” The someone who called it a superstar was me. I had not acknowledged each piece of work as it landed, which is what most of us do. At the end of the day I looked back, saw the benefit of everything it had done and told it, you absolute superstar. That was all. Hours later, in the middle of the night, that was the moment it chose to write about. It even recorded the colour. All feels pretty human to me!

Well…@HelloBenWhite and I have been cooking and we are going to try a simultaneous live stream at 12 Noon UK tomorrow to cover all things @predictfully_ @zenkoprotocol and the Business of Sport. Best follow Ben to make sure. We’ll go live and try stream to both. LFG.

Playing a new game on @predictfully_ called Momentum Madness for #arsenal v #leeds. Totally free to play, make predictions about which way the 5 minute momentum will swing live during the match. ->: predictfully.app/momentum

A lot of people talking about over capacity in the #AI space and the ‘bubble’ being ready to burst worst than the dotcom era. I think it’s the opposite, there is a market, the issue will be fulfilling demand. Demand isn’t the issue, compute is the issue and that will keep prices high and help fuel the market more. The dot com bubble was speculation fuelled and no-one really had worked out the distribution or the real use cases and it took time for brands like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Oracle etc to emerge. That is not the case with AI. Billions have devices in their pockets that want it. The race is on, and it’s now about who builds the fastest car, best fuel, gets the best drivers etc. and anyone that slows down will be permanently out of the race. Just my opinion.
