What actually will agents be when it's all said and done? Seems a bit like an LLM gone through another phase of training that makes it good at reasoning, and maybe domain-specific reasoning (or tune a strong-at-general-reasoning foundation model). Where reason really means

Meaning is in context. Learning a difficult concept indirectly is easier than looking up a definition because some attempt to explicitly articulate the meaning of a difficult concept requires fully articulating a very complex context, which people will probably fail at. You’ll

The virtual world and physical world are very much distinct places for most people. Further development of AI, VR, AR, BCI, and other computational technologies that come along will enable us to merge the virtual and physical world, so we can then more rapidly explore the

The only thing any of us really have is experience and ability to autonomously generate concepts. The wilder your imagination the better, time from concept to realization is gonna drop fast. We’re about to play life on AMPLIFIED mode

The whole thing where people feel mentally weak after too much chatgpt feels like a panic in the waiting. Just do some math problems in the morning. Work out your body AND your mind. That's not going to be a real problem (mental acuity might actually increase). Increasing

GM fine people I found a new universe in latent space. Shall we explore more?

one day, I will be 90 years old. I will have made untold wealth due to being early to distributed data systems, AGI, robotics, and second wave industrialization. My grandsons and granddaughters will gather around and ask "grandpa, how were you so early?" I'll simply respond:

AGI Exploration with o1 Bookmark and enjoy. "Create a novel connection between two unrelated things so that the outcome is useful to the progress of artificial general intelligence research. It should be technically accurate and actually useful. This should be the first time

I want to hook up a bunch of biometric sensors to myself and use that information to generate sound and visuals to push my emotional state around.

Freedom grows consciousness.

I think the concept of "introversion" impeded my development as a young person, and I think we need to do away with the introvert/extrovert distinction. It made me feel like socializing and social graces were the province of a certain kind of person that I was not

New Anthropic Research: Project Vend. We had Claude run a small shop in our office lunchroom. Here’s how it went.

How do we modify the human perceptive system and/or unconscious processing so that a (super) homo sapien develops a superset of a human internal world model? (And a superset giving it meaningful new capabilities)
