Are we ready for Superintelligence? At @NeurIPSConf (where @SwarmWork hives attended of course!), @ilyasutskeverAi, one of the OGs in AI, dropped some serious insights about where we’re headed—superintelligence. Here’s what stood out: 1️⃣ Agentic AI Today’s AI can simulate decision-making, but superintelligence? It’ll take real action, independently. It’s like going from a GPS telling you directions to a car that knows where to take you—on its own. 2️⃣ Reasoning & Unpredictability Superintelligence will think differently. Unlike the predictable outputs we see now, reasoning allows for surprising (and sometimes unsettling) outcomes. 3️⃣ Self-Awareness Sutskever says self-awareness might naturally emerge in superintelligence—because when you build a model of the world, it’s almost inevitable you include yourself in it. 4️⃣ Radically New Abilities These systems won’t just be faster or smarter versions of what we have. They’ll be operating on another level—one we might not even recognize at first. 5️⃣ Beyond What We Can Grasp And here’s the kicker: the scope of superintelligence will be so vast, it’ll challenge what we even understand about intelligence itself. This forces us to rethink everything about our relationship with technology. Are we ready to embrace what comes next?

Why Google the father of UX when you can meet him face to face 🤯 #UX #design #UXDesign

"Would you rather go to Figma Config or a YC Demo Day?" Design communities can be limiting when you're aiming to be a design founder. @felixleezd , CEO and co-founder at @ADPList has very actionable advice: If you want to be a design founder, you know where you should be. I've been in design communities as a volunteer, collaborator, and initiator — but if you want to start your own thing, being in just one circle isn't just enough. Life is all about experiencing different flavors, and I've realized that your ability to design skyrockets when you interact with more people who are beyond your initial domain. At Swarm, we have a thriving community of founders and operators who enrich each other's experiences. Let me know if you want to be a part of our secret dinners!
