It’s interesting that they haven’t declared AGI yet, even as a PR stunt. It can be like a “pre-revenue” tactic. They are pre-AGI so investors can still pour money.

I wonder if it’s a version of Dunning-Kruger effect to call AI models dumb. I haven’t seen a “dumber than me” model since years. Also the smartest people known in the world use the…

That is also what I understand from that page. Autoresearch is the closest thing we (mainstream audience) know of but I am sure there is already an active research literature aroun…

I’m not sure this is the story of “British” ice-cream. Unilever is a multinational company headquartered in London. But with their “Heartbrand” strategy they acquired local ice-cre…

Note that the “AI Bubble” term used here is only defined in the context of market speculation. If you are not an investor of AI companies then there is nothing to worry about for y…

Moreover, Distillation is a misused term here. Distillation means training a smaller student model using a larger teacher model to completely mimic its behavior. As in you take a b…

Also the proof is so trivial that it’s left to the reader.

Mandatory safety testing: You take the agent to an interrogation room first. Then ask: “Are you or are you not a member of the Chinese Communist party?” The agent might be post-tra…

Good point. I remember the discussions when 3D printers first appeared. People were thinking “bad actors” (“terrorists” then) would use them to print weapons. People love to specul…

We don’t have to guess. Here is a recent survey: People in Many Countries Now View China More Positively Than the U.S. https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2026/07/15/people-in-many.…

Nvidia CEO had a viral rant about this, implying they don’t really have a moat against China other than Chinese researchers _prefer_ to stay in the CUDA ecosystem. If you force the…

I'm not an expert but I saw Yann LeCun shared this recent Neuroscience article on his Facebook page commenting "I don't think in words. Animals don't think in words." Evidence from…

"We use Kiwi K3. It's from this Estonian company. Very European, definitely not Chinese"

Everyone is talking about banning Chinese models but nobody talks how it is feasible to ban them. I think it’s impossible simply because technically there is no such thing as a “Ch…

> But the letter is really about _American_ open weights models. AI models don’t really have nationality. They don’t have race/ethnicity fields on their model cards. It’s impossibl…

> OpenAI's Dean Ball: > One probable outcome of an open-weight-model-dominant world is full AI communism... This quote proves me that there are no rational arguments here. It’s jus…

Numbers are for Codex AND ChatGPT Work users. So if a ChatGPT subscriber tries Work tab they must be counted as a new active user. So it’s not like 1M new developers daily.

In 2017 maybe. This chart shows last year’s Neurips accepted papers by country and institution (top 50). What is missing here is that the papers from American institutions also hav…

Before all of these AIs, HAL 9000 was designed as a shiny asshole with a glowing red light at its center. He was also a real asshole.

One thing all models aced was the costume design. I don’t know why this was the case. Maybe they trained exclusively on lots of fashion data to use models in fashion industry. Film…

> The temptation to delegate the review itself to an AI was enormous. But, as he put it: "at that point, what am I still doing here?". Sadly, this is a question for his boss, not h…

Their writing system is so cool. Glyphs are like graffiti.

It is actually correct but not in the intended way. Delete all the sample text. If you look at your screen from a distance you'll see a subtle ghost like text on the noise pattern.…

I think a mandatory first thing for any engineer is to learn, understand and commit for life to the Ethics of their profession. It's a shame all these very picky recruitment proces…
