This was always true. If you're happy solving someone else's problems and you're smart, why not do it in industry and get paid 10x as much?

The natural conclusion of this is that the only people who should pursue a PhD are those that have their own questions, their own research program in mind independent of advisors. Borrowing questions from your superiors doesn't seem plausible in this age anymore.

My latest paper @robocurve is up: "The Bitter Lesson comes to Robotics". We show that LMs are increasingly able to manipulate their environment by directly controlling robots. Runaway progress in AI is spilling over into the physical world!

LLMs have a score doubling time of 53.9 days on a robotics benchmark between July and October 2026, while speed increased by 4.4x and cost fell by 6.2x. More results in our new paper: The Bitter Lesson Comes to Robotics 🧵

Augmentation solves this problem. We will graft enough intelligence onto the human cognitive architecture for humans to remain masters of their own destiny. We will uplift!

No one escapes the permanent underclass. Not even Sam, Dario, or Trump.

Some cool work I lead over the last couple of weeks at Robocurve! Full paper coming out on Arvix this Monday. :)

Frontier LLM scores on a real robot benchmark doubled every 6 weeks, from 15% in July to 48% in September 2026.

A dashed exponential fit through the record-setting models rises from GPT-5.6 Sol (high) at 15% in July, through Opus 5 (medium) and Gemini 3.8 Flash (high), to GPT-6 Astra (high, ultrafast) at 47% and Opus 5.5 (extra high) at 48% in September, doubling about every 6 weeks. Error bars show 95% confidence intervals.

Tesla/SpaceX is pretty much the last organization in the West that does this type of economic nationalism.

I like how Communist countries, instead of advertising individual goods, would create advertisements for the general concept of pork or something of that sort.

When Haiku 5.5 @ effort = None accidentally hides the ball from the camera with its arm, it immediately concludes that the ball vanished!

On a simple robot task, Haiku 5.5 more than triples its success rate with more thinking. GPT-6 Luna stays near zero. 🧵
