Pretty strong comment in Nature today saying that AGI is here. "... the conclusion is straightforward: by reasonable standards, including Turing’s own, we have artificial systems that are generally intelligent."

Management quantifies it by giving you a small raise and then denying all promotions as you’re too valuable to move up.

Propose we replace "spot the fed" at DEF CON (since there's so many of them anyway) with "six degrees to Epstein" this year

I can't see why this would ever be good to do. Dying is a natural part of life and figuring out how to overcome grief and move on is good. Prolonging that for years while trying to trick yourself into thinking they are alive through AI is a terrible way to handle it.

So far there seems to be several different #infosec names in the Epstein files most of them after his first conviction.

Telsa's stock price is not based on current revenue it is based on his AI and robotics plays. Unless those fail, the revenue doesn't particularly matter

Just in the last 8 weeks the models have gotten exponentially more useful. Seems pretty clear this is a step change in how people will work with code in the future.

A significant amount of workers are using AI and then just not telling their bosses they are, so this stat doesn't surprise me at all. In fact the employees you want to keep probably want to cut out dull work with AI and the ones who don't are probably on your layoff list.

Buying and scanning a book for internal use isn't theft. This is actually how it should be done in order to digitize it for LLM training whereas theft would be pirating it

Love the focus on safety with this robot and the minimization of pinch points. I just hope they can get the cost down from the starting 50k so that someone would actually put it in their home.

This looks immediately useful and a better value than paying overleaf since you probably already pay for OpenAI. Hopefully their terms of service aren’t terrible. #ai openai.com/index/introd...

If you know that all your PRs will be written by AI theres no point to accept them. Maybe theres some other future path such as someone giving tokens to pay for the AI to code up the feature they want instead.

Being able to use AI to tell me what color things are is an underrated use of it. Now it’s a lot easier for me to figure out what smoke alarm battery is low

This is obviously incorrect today. The value and ability for AI to be useful in white-collar work is apparent to everyone who uses it

This would be great, but if AI becomes the entry point to the internet then people will start to SEO for AI in order to get traffic and it will be interesting to see what that looks like

AI's increase in desire for software will be a boon for engineers who love to solve problems and work with product and be terrible for engineers who just love coding as thats going to quickly fall away into the background.

Erdos problems, a set of famous difficult math challenges, are a clear example of AI models breaching a threshold. The idea that an AI could solve one, let alone many, would have been insane a year ago (o1 was brand new). Now we have multiple Erdos problems solved by GPT-5.2 in the last couple weeks

This is absolutely correct, the market of 2020 where anyone could get hired into Infosec is dead and you need to actually compete with a degree + experience and certs if you are trying to break in today.
