Deep Think Sparks Unicorn: Unexpected AI Drawing Abilities
By
–
Here is the Deep Think "Sparks unicorn" (This is created using TikZ, which is a language built for scientific diagrams & very much not for drawing. The original "Sparks of AGI" paper used the ability of the AI to draw a primitive unicorn as an example of unexpected AI abilities)

Gemini Deep Think Model Shows Superior 3D Interface Generation
By
–
Had early access to Gemini with Deep Think. Very good model, big gains over standard Gemini 2.5 Pro for a lot of problems.

Here is the first attempt at the starship control panel prompt I try with every model. First time I have seen a model make a 3D interface in response. https://t.co/8iW2Pn6Xpu pic.twitter.com/bLFF2IcOP3Had early access to Gemini with Deep Think.

Horizon-alpha: Solid Performance on Multiple AI Tasks
By
–
Having played with it a bunch, Horizon-alpha did a pretty solid version of Missile Command with Relativistic Effects with a few rounds of feedback, passed the Lem Test the first time (without reasoning), and drew a passable TikZ unicorn (if you know, you know). Very quick model.

O*NET Dataset Reveals Real-World AI Use Patterns and Employment Impact
By
–
It also matches the results from Anthropic's analysis of actual use (though that user base is less broad than Copilot). Turns out O*NET is a very helpful dataset.

Dredge Operators Least Affected by Generative AI Impact

Dredge Operator is the job category least affected by Generative AI. Fortunately, I am very good at dredging. (In reality, there are only 940 dredge operators in the US)

AI Job Displacement Predictions Validated by Microsoft Study
By
–
Interestingly, an economics paper that came out in 2023 predicting which jobs would overlap most with AI turned out to be right. A new Microsoft study of actual AI use by workers (more on that in another post) found a 90% correlation between real world overlap & the predictions.

AI Leaders Report Signs of Self-Improvement in Systems
By
–
Lots of vague statements from leaders of the various AI labs about starting to see signs of self-improvement in AI systems (including Zuckerberg today), seems like proof that this is indeed happening would be pretty significant. (thanks o3 for providing details & saving me time)
