Very much worth reading: timdettmers.com/2025/12/10/w... The (unexpected) fundamental physics part seems overall accurate to me.

Why AGI Will Not Happen — Tim Dettmers

If you are reading this, you probably have strong opinions about AGI, superintelligence, and the future of AI. Maybe you believe we are on the cusp of a transformative breakthrough. Maybe you are skep...

I feel like this is a very strong counter to a lot of arguments about fundamental economic or structural obstacles to decarbonization, or that it requires a comprehensive reorganization of our system of production. It's a political choice, that's all.

A fairly unique feature here is that imposing structure allows the algorithm to generalise to phase spaces (physics processes) it hasn’t seen in the training!

I naively thought: let's roughly extrapolate the height at which Mondo Duplantis's pole vault world record series would end. The second derivative turns out to be positive! 😱 #math in the wild #tokyo2025 #worldathletics

Graph based on the data in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%27s_pole_vault_world_record_progression , showing the world record height evolution from 1965 (about 5.3m) to 2025 (6.30m). The world records by Sergey Bubka are indicated in blue. In the first part of his career, there was a rapid succession of world records and then it leveled off (second derivative of the curve is negative). After about 20 years without world records (flat line in the curve, first derivative ~0), Armand Duplantis started breaking world records, cm by cm (indicated in orange). The second derivative is positive, which means the curve bends upwards.

Was die @iea.org in ihrem jüngsten Bericht über Deutschland aufgeschrieben hat, ist nicht nur ein ziemlich gutes Zeugnis für die Energiepolitik der Ampel-Koalition (mit Ausnahme des Verkehrssektors) – sondern auch die klare Empfehlung an die nächste Regierung, am bisherigen Kurs festzuhalten:

This makes me optimistic, unless one thinks that finishing and conceding high-quality chances are skill issues (which they may well be) @effzeh.bsky.social
