SOCIETY

i'm on vacation with my family. i read about mythos and couldn't relax the rest of the day. i am completely stunned. i already have a severe case of ai psychosis. i dont know what to call this now. i'm up late right now (late for me). i can't stop reading about anthropic's new model that they can't even release publicly because it's so good. this feels different. words like "frightening" and "uneasy" and "scary" are being throw around by the anthropic team. i feel all of those things. i knew this moment was coming. i didn't know it'd be so soon. i'm generally optimistic. i don't feel as optimistic today. i was shell-shocked most of the day. my mind was stuck on it. i kept looking around at people enjoying their vacations with their families and…i just felt weird. like i had been told aliens are real, they're coming, and soon…and no one else knows. it's true though, practically no one knows what's happening in AI right now. where does this go from here? how quickly? is software solved? is all software vulnerable now? am i even asking the right questions? what about anthropic? this is an enormous amount of power for one company, one man (dario), to have. i've said this before but now it's more real than ever: can any company catch up to anthropic? opus likely helped build mythos, mythos will help build the next model after that. recursive self improvement is here. the "intelligence explosion" as leopold aschenbrenner put it, is here. i knew the frontier labs were racing towards ASI. i knew it. but i didn't fully grasp what it meant. the first company to reach it wins. period. full stop. nothing else matters. dario knew that and his bet on coding was right. on the one hand, imaging all science, math, coding, climate problems being solved. imagine cancer being cured. imagine going to the stars. on the other hand – imagine concentration of power, political and economic change happening so fast, society can't adapt. how do we go on like things are the same?
