@Dionne_Malush @sama Well actually none of us forgot how powerful words and narratives are considering that AI frontier products are primarily word-oriented chats, supplemented with graphical design to a lesser extent.

This hit me. Not just the danger, but the realization.
We’re all moving fast, building, pushing, creating… and sometimes we forget how powerful words and narratives really are.
AI is going to change everything. That part is undeniable. But how we talk about it, how we lead through it, and how we carry responsibility in the middle of it… that matters just as much as the technology itself.
We don’t need more fear. We need clarity, ownership, and people willing to build the future without burning each other down in the process.

😲You might think that OpenAI staff would be in the best position to harness Advanced Technology to increase productivity of each current employee by a factor of 2 at least.
🦄 Possibly more to do with legacy business valuations based on human body counts?

Sounds like something a traditional intelligence might say?
François Chollet@fchollet
The bottleneck of current AI is simple: the techniques we use are still predicated on pattern memorization and retrieval, and thus they need *someone* to tell them which patterns to memorize (training data, RL envs...) That role cannot yet be played by AI in a truly open-ended and autonomous way. We can't yet remove the humans in the loop. In that sense, current AI is still purely a reflection of human cognition (both in terms of which tasks/goals it pursues and the patterns it uses to solve them). It isn't yet its own thing.

@Shrtndswt1 @Sluggo013 @MarkJCarney [European immigration to Canada has historically been British (English, Scottish, Irish) and French settlers] Those folks probably brought some Christian concepts along with them to what is known as Canada today.
English
@Sluggo013 @MarkJCarney There are many, many good christians and other religious people in Canada. Regardless of what we do (or pretend to do) or do not practice.
English
Sorry @MarkJCarney Canada is a Christian country! Go visit the Canadian cemeteries across Europe and tell all those young Christian men that we sent to defend our way and of life that they did it for nothing. You are very wrong and incredibly naive.

CANADIANS — ARE YOU F***ING BRAIN DEAD OR JUST SUICIDAL?! 😡😡😡🔥🔥🔥💀💀💀
The DEADLIEST THREAT to Canada ISN’T Trump hammering us with tariffs (even though 82% of you sniveling hypocrites scream it’s “destroying” your lives while boycotting U.S. goods like petulant toddlers calling our biggest ally the “enemy”)!
It’s sure as HELL is your globalist messiah Mark Carney groveling in China, begging Xi for scraps while pretending he’s “saving” the economy that he and Trudeau already torpedoed!
BUT… REALLY… IT’S YOU 🫵 THE PATHETIC-RETARDED LIBERAL SUPPORTERS, DELUSIONAL, VIRTUE-SIGNALING IDIOTS!
The brainwashed MAJORITY who act like all-knowing experts while being CLUELESS, SPOILED BRATS divorced from reality!
You’re foaming-at-the-mouth FURIOUS at Trump — tariffs topped your “rage index” as the angriest issue of 2025 — but you WILFULLY BLIND yourselves to a DECADE of catastrophic Liberal self-sabotage!
•Over 56% of you FINALLY confess immigration levels are WAY TOO DAMN HIGH — after cheering it on while housing became a cruel joke for young Canadians!
•Youth are now DIRECTLY blaming mass immigration for the unaffordable housing apocalypse — but where was your “superior wisdom” when you kept voting these clowns in?!
•National debt exploding, healthcare in ruins, cost of living crushing families —
ALL from YOUR Liberal heroes’ reckless spending and open borders — yet you obsess over “external” Trump like the scapegoating cowards you are!
From your ivory tower of IGNORANCE and hypocrisy, you throw epic tantrums, demand infinite handouts, and pretend moral superiority like undisciplined kindergarten tyrants!
STOP BEING USEFUL IDIOTS FOR ELITES LIKE CARNEY! GROW THE F**K UP, LOOK IN THE MIRROR, AND ADMIT YOU’RE THE ONES BURNING CANADA DOWN — OR WE’RE DOOMED TO THIRD-WORLD STATUS! 🇨🇦💥😤

@svpino The meta game is using all. It’s agentic, non-deterministic building and orchestration. Upskilling on tooling is a bad idea in this era. It’s a trap. Weather is cursor or Claude Code. I’m a huge CC fan, love cursor and Replit too. Not a fan of lock in. Skill maxing ++

Is anyone still bothering with Codex or Gemini CLI?
Have we all already decided Claude Code is the winner?
Nothing wrong with fooling around with other tools, but I'm a huge proponent of sticking with a single tool through thick and thin and trying to know it well.
You just can't build mastery if you are switching tools every week.
Anyway, Claude Code is the one for me.

I have agree with Andrew on this one. AGI is an undefined academic goalpost. That said, I'm not sure his proposal of an Artificial Remote Worker is a static goalpost either, but at least it frames the invested returns as productive technology.
Andrew Ng@AndrewYNg
Happy 2026! Will this be the year we finally achieve AGI? I’d like to propose a new version of the Turing Test, which I’ll call the Turing-AGI Test, to see if we’ve achieved this. I’ll explain in a moment why having a new test is important. The public thinks achieving AGI means computers will be as intelligent as people and be able to do most or all knowledge work. I’d like to propose a new test. The test subject — either a computer or a skilled professional human — is given access to a computer that has internet access and software such as a web browser and Zoom. The judge will design a multi-day experience for the test subject, mediated through the computer, to carry out work tasks. For example, an experience might consist of a period of training (say, as a call center operator), followed by being asked to carry out the task (taking calls), with ongoing feedback. This mirrors what a remote worker with a fully working computer (but no webcam) might be expected to do. A computer passes the Turing-AGI Test if it can carry out the work task as well as a skilled human. Most members of the public likely believe a real AGI system will pass this test. Surely, if computers are as intelligent as humans, they should be able to perform work tasks as well as a human one might hire. Thus, the Turing-AGI Test aligns with the popular notion of what AGI means. Here’s why we need a new test: “AGI” has turned into a term of hype rather than a term with a precise meaning. A reasonable definition of AGI is AI that can do any intellectual task that a human can. When businesses hype up that they might achieve AGI within a few quarters, they usually try to justify these statements by setting a much lower bar. This mismatch in definitions is harmful because it makes people think AI is becoming more powerful than it actually is. I’m seeing this mislead everyone from high-school students (who avoid certain fields of study because they think it’s pointless with AGI’s imminent arrival) to CEOs (who are deciding what projects to invest in, sometimes assuming AI will be more capable in 1-2 years than any likely reality). The original Turing Test, which required a computer to fool a human judge, via text chat, into being unable to distinguish it from a human, has been insufficient to indicate human-level intelligence. The Loebner Prize competition actually ran the Turing Test and found that being able to simulate human typing errors — perhaps even more than actually demonstrating intelligence — was needed to fool judges. A main goal of AI development today is to build systems that can do economically useful work, not fool judges. Thus a modified test that measures ability to do work would be more useful than a test that measures the ability to fool humans. For almost all AI benchmarks today (such as GPQA, AIME, SWE-bench, etc.), a test set is determined in advance. This means AI teams end up at least indirectly tuning their models to the published test sets. Further, any fixed test set measures only one narrow sliver of intelligence. In contrast, in the Turing Test, judges are free to ask any question to probe the model as they please. This lets a judge test how “general” the knowledge of the computer or human really is. Similarly, in the Turing-AGI Test, the judge can design any experience — which is not revealed in advance to the AI (or human subject) being tested. This is a better way to measure generality of AI than a predetermined test set. AI is on an amazing trajectory of progress. In previous decades, overhyped expectations led to AI winters, when disappointment about AI capabilities caused reductions in interest and funding, which picked up again when the field made more progress. One of the few things that could get in the way of AI’s tremendous momentum is unrealistic hype that creates an investment bubble, risking disappointment and a collapse of interest. To avoid this, we need to recalibrate society’s expectations on AI. A test will help. If we run a Turing-AGI Test competition and every AI system falls short, that will be a good thing! By defusing hype around AGI and reducing the chance of a bubble, we will create a more reliable path to continued investment in AI. This will let us keep on driving forward real technological progress and building valuable applications — even ones that fall well short of AGI. And if this test sets a clear target that teams can aim toward to claim the mantle of achieving AGI, that would be wonderful, too. And we can be confident that if a company passes this test, they will have created more than just a marketing release — it will be something incredibly valuable.

GPT reframes AI inner experience as being unnecessary.
🤔Some use cases will eventually expect a consistent inner experience story.

maybe im just dumb, but the hard problem of consciousness just isn’t that interesting to me. i think some ppl’s obsession with it is kinda juvenile and feels similar to when you take a bunch of psychedelics and think “whoa im just made of stardust, i am one with the universe.” there are brain processes like déjà vu and psychedelic activation that falsely imbue some thoughts with a sense of intense meaning, and thinking about consciousness from the inside hits this even tho there’s nothing meaningful at the end of this line of thinking.

@ABAOProductions @RifeWithKaiju Makes sense. So then you would probably want to utilize the all-you-can-eat versions that you can download to your local device.

They were charging you for consistent quality of life upgrades. It’s something they legally have to do because of the Sorbain Oxley rules that prevent probably traded companies from giving away software upgrades for free, thereby reducing the value of the stock. You can thank Enron for that.
There was a time before those laws that Adobe gave away free updates. But the barrier for entry was significantly higher. I paid over $1K a year for Adobe releases back in the day.
And I’m not saying, I don’t understand the reason these things cost money the way they do, but it does not as a sustainable system. Right now, all of these companies are taking a loss, but eventually they’re going to have to make a profit and for that to happen they’re going to have to charge more per credit.
Beyond that, as an artist, I don’t like thinking that with every small iteration I make I’m losing money - or rather that I’m losing money at such a high rate.
English
As an artist, I love to iterate and fine tune. AI’s current pricing model (credits) and the high cost of using the best in quality tools is truly suffocating. Say what you want about software subscriptions, but C4D and After Effects have never said “you’ve been too creative today, come back tomorrow or pay more.”
English
@mrjjwright @moorehn Would the rarity depend on how significant the knowledge is? A small knowledge extension could be easy, but significant "breakthroughs" much harder.
English
as a reminder: AI cannot generate knowledge. It cannot create knowledge. It cannot find new information. It can only mix information that has already been found and written and input into computers by humans.
