I was invited to address the @UN Security Council this afternoon to discuss the unprecedented threat posed by uncontrolled frontier AI agents.
Humanity has summoned the courage and wisdom to manage catastrophic risks before. This is one of those moments, far bigger than any personal, commercial, or national interest. The choices we make about this technology today will shape generations to come. We must act now.

It is the first AI system to achieve human-level performance in the popular strategy game Diplomacy.
Cicero ranked in the top 10 of participants on webDiplomacy.net
Meta AI presents CICERO — the first AI to achieve human-level performance in Diplomacy, a strategy game which requires building trust, negotiating and cooperating with multiple players.

15 years ago my PhD advisor taught me One Weird Trick for editing your own writing. Edit **back to front**, paragraph by paragraph. I still use it and it still surprises me how well it works. When I get my students to do it, it often blows their minds. Try it!

It's interesting how few definitions of intelligent or sentient machines take relationships into account—something @sofianaudry and I try to address in this article on whether computers can make art mdpi.com/2076-0752/8/1/35 #AI
Beautiful response to the "AI as artist" debate. As me and @jonippolito argued, the attribution of authorship lies in the eye of the observer/audience. But it's our job to show how it's misplaced and reductive of the function of art(ists) in society. mdpi.com/2076-0752/8/1/35

David Chapman introduced me to meta-rationality. It's difficult to get your head to figure it out on the first go. But it's an idea about cognition that very few are aware exists. metarationality.com/bongard-…
