This quote from @EricRWeinstein — “ our business people become our designed public thinkers by default” — looms heavily now, as business people with enormous economic interests busy themselves redefining and opining on terms like “AGI” and “superintelligence”. Their lies and distortions around the alleged imminence of these things are likely to cause a crippling blow to the world’s economy. And the business media’s common “A CEO said a thing” journalistic style, in which they parrot absurd claims—without serious skepticism—is only exacerbating all this When the bubble pops, and taxpayers are forced to bail out this mess, the cultlike adoration of business people who know little about how intelligence actually works will have been a major factor. Gary Marcus (@GaryMarcus) Allowing “our business people become our designated public thinkers [b]y default” has indeed been an absolute catastrophe. — https://nitter.net/GaryMarcus/status/2028859980896751660#m
An invention-automation machine starts doing things to innovation that have never been done before—operating at the substrate, where invention compounds faster than it can be understood. #AGIALPHA François Chollet (@fchollet) If you build an automation machine, the way to monetize it is to sell it to as many people as possible — anyone who has tasks to automate. But if what you build is an invention machine, then the best way to monetize it is to use it yourself. — https://nitter.net/fchollet/status/2032440942108848424#m [Translated from EN to English]
OpenAI is preparing ready to launch their new and next generation of models. They are about to revolutionizing science & economy. "A very significant step forward" compared to their current models. Imho this is preparing people for the launch, very very soon, maybe even this week. Chubby♨️ (@kimmonismus) Looks like OpenAI reached Superintelligence. OpenAI: "Now, we’re beginning a transition toward superintelligence: AI systems capable of outperforming the smartest humans even when they are assisted by AI." OpenAI just published a 13-page policy blueprint for the "Intelligence Age"- proposing a Public Wealth Fund, 32-hour workweek pilots, portable benefits, a formal "Right to AI," and tax reforms to offset shrinking payroll revenue as automation scales. The document frames superintelligence not as a distant scenario *but an active transition requiring New Deal-level ambition*: new safety nets, containment playbooks for dangerous models, and international coordination modeled on aviation safety institutions. Here are OpenAI's suggestions (tl;dr): Open Economy: -Give workers a formal voice in AI deployment decisions -Microgrants and "startup-in-a-box" for AI-native entrepreneurs -Treat AI access as basic infrastructure (like electricity) -Shift tax base from payroll toward capital gains and corporate income -Public Wealth Fund — every citizen gets a stake in AI growth -Fast-track energy grid expansion via public-private partnerships -32-hour workweek pilots, better benefits from productivity gains -Auto-scaling safety nets triggered by displacement metrics -Portable benefits untied from employers -Invest in care economy as a transition path for displaced workers -Distributed AI-enabled labs to accelerate scientific discovery Resilient Society: -Safety tools for cyber, bio, and large-scale risks -AI trust stack — provenance, verification, audit logs -Competitive auditing market for frontier models -Containment playbooks for dangerous released models -Frontier AI companies adopt Public Benefit Corporation structures -Codified rules and auditing for government AI use -Democratic public input on AI alignment standards -Mandatory incident and near-miss reporting -International AI safety network for joint evaluations and crisis coordination Notably, OpenAI calls for stricter controls only on a narrow set of frontier models while keeping the broader ecosystem open, a clear attempt to position regulation as targeted, not industry-wide. They're backing it with up to $100K in fellowships and $1M in API credits for policy research, plus a new DC workshop opening in May. — https://nitter.net/kimmonismus/status/2041130939175284910#m
1. The more Sam's finances don't add up, the hype he generates gets bigger. 2. But he's right that a massive cyberattack is likely imminent. (See my January 2025 @politico essay for why.) Chubby♨️ (@kimmonismus)
Holy moly: Sam Altman told Axios in a half-hour interview that AI superintelligence is so close, so mind-bending, so disruptive that America needs a new social contract. – It's on the scale of the Progressive Era in the early 1900s, and the New Deal during the Great Depression. – Altman warns: widespread job loss, cyberattacks, social upheaval, machines man can't control – "Soon-to-be-released AI models could enable a world-shaking cyberattack this year. I think that's totally possible," Altman said. "I suspect in the next year, we will see significant threats we have to mitigate from cyber." [Translated from EN to English]
AGI Jobs will alter knowledge work at the substrate level—one of those rare inflection points where the very grammar of work is rewritten. #AIAgents #AGIJobs #Jobs
I don't know what Sam Altman saw internally at OpenAI, but it seems that, according to their definition, AGI is here, and superintelligence is incredibly close.
I don't know what Sam Altman saw internally at OpenAI, but it seems that, according to their definition, AGI is here, and superintelligence is incredibly close. AI models that independently conduct scientific research and find novel solutions are already here, and their internal model appears to surpass everything seen before.
