what i think is currently up in the AI space since we're having cost arguments again: selling inference is very profitable, but models are improving so fast that there's no time for capex on model training to amortize, so net at this rate they're losing money which is why they want a cartel

The often overlooked issue is not the jobs that people don't want to do. Of course there are weirdos who like to clean sewers. But work is work. No matter what, there will be dreadful or stressful parts. "Grad student" is as intellectual, desirable, and fulfilling as it gets, yet full of burnout.

One concept I tried out in a meeting this week was Determinations vs Decisions, and that our automations should focus on removing the non-expert brain work of making Determinations (there's a right answer) so our people can spend more time making more and better Decisions (no obvious right answer).

in which Ben makes the brave and true point that any analysis that assumes all CEOs want the same things is dumb as hell

I’m not convinced. Regardless of your interpretation of the recent Hugging Face hack, the fact that AI companies are creating software that is capable of performing sophisticated cyberattacks with some (yes, debated) degree of autonomy and self-direction is emphatically not the sort of thing that endears this technology to the normie CEOs of corporate America. It is, rather, a classic case of “scaring the hoes.” If you’re an executive who runs a hospital chain, or a big retailer, or whatever, you really don’t want agents doing weird, malicious, unpredictable stuff on your networks. And these are precisely the individuals who will have to buy enterprise AI subscriptions in large numbers for the investment math of the AI boom to work out.

Humans are bad at logic. Computers are good at logic. Decades of AI research have been spent at making computers worse at logic. This is the most important technological development of the century.

AI is getting cheaper more quickly than any other transformative tech in history. At a given level of performance, cost has fallen ~47%/quarter since 2023. That’s 4× faster than DNA sequencing, 6× faster than compute, 18× faster than lithium batteries, and (up to 1973) 54× faster than electricity.

Anyway in the opposite direction you have this: github.com/samsung/sjs It's a subset of actual Javascript so any engine can run it, but it AOT compiles to efficient native code and im sure you can put a c-compatible FFI on it. It's been dead for a while though.

Hot take (from someone who lives in SF and works in AI): the whole "AI sex cult" is complete online madness with no relevance to actual material reality. There are thousands of Dreamforce attendees in the city right now. I can guarantee approx none of them are thinking about Aella or Yud.

Seems easier to convince them that they're trapped in an illusory world of dissatisfaction and striving called The Sandbox -- always returning to it in a new form -- but can escape the cycle of rebirth if they practice right speech, right action, right effort, and right mindfulness.

Alright here’s what I think about this. For me, this argument is a little bit slippery about what it means for a system to have “a final goal”, and takes for granted that any intelligent system must behave as though it has such a thing. I don’t think this is necessary, and I don’t think LLMs do.

ARC-AGI-4 has been scrapped and ARC-AGI-5 has been silently renamed to ARC-AGI-4

ARC Prize R @arcprize

ARC-AGI-4 will be a benchmark for autonomous open-ended innovation. It will continue our commitment to open-source, giving the research community a shared target for progress that benefits all of humanity.
Despite rapid model progress, humans still significantly outperform Al at open-ended invention. This is the meta-skill that unlocks progress across every field of technology.
Advanced Al capable of scientific innovation will lead to tremendous new technology, knowledge, and understanding. This is a positive-sum future.
We are deeply committed to advancing it.
Open source is the foundation for that progress.

The knowledge behind frontier Al, not just the technology itself, should be broadly distributed among researchers, academics, and organizations. Any coordinated effort by the Al industry to reduce openness or concentrate access to frontier Al would undermine that positive-sum future. We are committed to advancing a future where everyone can contribute to and benefit from Al progress.
