My favorite recent AI papers that show a glimpse of the future 🧵 My takeaway: Society will dramatically change with ambient super-intelligence starting in ~2 years. It’ll be subject to biased training data and human decision-makers, so we should choose our leaders wisely.

The web’s next big feature is self-sovereign identity and hyperspatial privileges for people, objects, and spaces. AR glasses running web browsers will see content hosted by the owner of the spaces you occupy.
