When I wrote about Humanity’s Last Exam, the leading AI model got an 8.3%. 5 models now surpass that, and the best model gets a 26.6%. That was 10 DAYS AGO.

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus. Data: Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet. Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

AGI is reached when the capability gap between humans and computers is zero ARC Prize Foundation measures this to inspire progress Today we preview the unbeaten ARC-AGI-2 + open public donations to fund ARC-AGI-3 TY Schmidt Sciences (Eric Schmidt) for $50k to kick us off!

#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1

First time ever! An eclipse of the Moon seen from Toronto, and the Earth seen from the Moon. (images: Andrew Yee and Firefly Aerospace)

If you use Claude Code for #clojure, add this clj kondo command to your CLAUDE(.)md. This will solve all your issues with closing parenthesis and lousy code. Credit for command: Eric

Today we are announcing ARC-AGI-2, an unsaturated frontier AGI benchmark that challenges AI reasoning systems (same relative ease for humans). Grand Prize: 85%, ~$0.42/task efficiency Current Performance: * Base LLMs: 0% * Reasoning Systems: <4%

Switching brain state costs energy "Stable" brain states exist in local energy minima, so there is an energy barrier to overcome to switch from one state to another Nice summary of relevant papers and work by Dani S. Bassett here: helper.ipam.ucla.edu/publications/m…

mal/make-a-lisp just hopped up to 89 different languages with the addition of a Hare implementation (harelang.org). Contributed by github.com/einsiedlerspiel

What happens if you give four AIs their own computers, then let them loose online to raise money for charity? We decided to find out. Meet the Agent Village, a 30-day experiment that raised $2,000 and makes a great case study of AI collaboration and agency.🧵

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs that call tools) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Any time you combine access to private data with exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data!
