@AndriusLen @davidsenra That’s mainly because the C-level was sold an idea of human replacement, also they have massive FOMO. People are forced to use LLMs, call it “AI”, even when it doesn’t make them more effective (eg when an agent does something for a hour when you could do it in 5 mins)

@davidsenra Whether these projections prove accurate or not, it’s remarkable how quickly AI has shifted from a niche technology to a major economic force.

“Anthropic. The rumor is their revenue run rate is over $50 billion a year.” “And if you play this out I think the labs will pass more than $300 billion a year in revenue. That means 1% of the entire gross domestic product of the United States will be spent on token spend.” “And this type of spend, unlike other types of software, has marginal costs. Every job you're doing has a marginal cost.” “I think there's going to be a mega category created around how do we manage the knowledge work that will be done on behalf of organizations and done through these tokens?’

@kikeboldnow @RyanGreenblatt An algorithm is not species. And they don’t have interests. They don’t need to sleep, eat, they don’t have a limited lifespan, they don’t have hormones. And ultimately all the human achievements are done just to get laid If you train LLMs on 4chan, it will behave like a 4chaner

@RyanGreenblatt IMHO the FUNDAMENTAL question to ask around this ; when has thru history a more intelligent/powerful species ever been controlled by inferior ones ? Questions about labor supply growth, GDP growth & all else is *NOT* important if have NEW SUPERIOR species (AGI) w/ own interests!

The glib answer is: it won't take several decades; we'll see a singularity that reaches physical limits significantly faster. The short answer is: with smart enough AIs, robots can double the supply of chips, energy, and robots in less than a year. The long answer is: see ai-2040.com/supplements/ec…, forethought.org/research/the-i…, lesswrong.com/posts/rpqGWRoR…, and cold-takes.com/the-duplicator/. If AIs can automate all cognitive labor, it seems very doable to have robot labor supply that can build a full copy of itself (including energy, fabs, and chips) in less than a year. This yields exponential growth and improvements in technology from the increased labor supply make this growth superexponential. This is analogous to the superexponential growth we've seen through human history: over the last 2000 years the population has grown around 35x while GDP per capita has grown by around 20x. The population of robots can grow much faster than the population of humans (e.g. rabbits can double every few months in ideal conditions). And this larger labor supply will yield improved technology (GDP per "capita") analogous to what occured in the past.

Something I have never seen explained proper is *how* AI is supposed to lead to accelerating double digit economic growth for several decades at a time. I would like those making the bull argument for this to make the argument in physical terms and explain to me how ASI overcomes the obvious physical limits involved. GDP means “gross domestic production.” Production is an energetic process. It is not just measured in dollars, but in joules. Industrial Revolution level growth means an Industrial Revolution level change in joules. It means fundamentally new ways of generating energy and moving material. It also means a fundamental change in the material basis of our civilization on par with invention of pressurized concrete, steel bars, and plastics. What did this growth look like in the Chinese context? It meant replacing mud roads with bullet trains, stone houses with skyscrapers, and village pigsties with industrial farming operations that consume artificially produced chemicals in the metric tons. The ASI bulls are not just predicting that sort of change of our entire material environment—they are predicting it will happen again and again and again—once every five years or so. Is that physical possibly? Can your God-like intelligence *physically restructure the entirety of human civilization* every five years? People are too glib.

@AlexanderKalian Well many people believe now that with AI you can now write ineffective code, like if the code is generated suddenly hardware constraints don’t matter Like what, are you fucking insane? They lack logic And if we take AI, regulations. And they don’t want them to exist in pharma

"AI will cure cancer within 5 years!" Ahem - clinical trials? "AI will reverse ageing within 7 years!" Cool - clinical trials?! "AI will be able to design and immediately synthesise a new drug for you, based on your DNA." Haha sure - clinical trials??! Guess the tech bros have decided that decade-long clinical trials are no longer important to AI drug discovery or wider pharmacology. But it seems to come from a place of ignorance about basic pharmacology. Do they not read up on basic facts, before confidently commenting on other peoples' fields of research?

@paularambles Yes, if you can run mythos-grade LLMs locally. Or 80% mythos capabilities. Then hyperscalers don’t have a moat, you simply don’t need to pay your arm and leg to them and hand over your IP. That’s what the bubble about

@rationalaussie Many jobs can be replaced by Excel today. Or simple scripts that cost a hundred of $ of human labor to code manually. You don’t need AGI for that. Yet they aren’t replaced. Why?

Normies don't understand what AGI will actually be. They think their little digital marketing jobs where they crop Canva pictures and post on LinkedIn will actually be income for them five years from now. These people are going to get wiped out. It'll be a bloodbath. AGI is a drop in remote worker capable of doing anything on your computer faster, smarter and cheaper than humans, by many orders of magnitude. That means you turn the AGI on, it extracts all patterns and insights from all data you give it, as well as external sources, autonomously interviews everyone in your company, and learns - puts together the optimal strategy and then also implements it - at any given time, 24/7. None of us stand a chance. Someone asked me about a year ago 'so what's the next play? How do we play this?' You don't play this bro. You're not outsmarting a superintelligence. Just do whatever you want, none of it will matter post AGI.

@thexpiredpear @danforhan @GabGarrett @edzitron So since computers appeared, we can offload time consuming TASKS to them. We could calculate large primes. With distributed calculations we can calculate them even faster. It doesn’t make PCs smart Now we can do that with whole theorems. Doesn’t make LLMs smart. It’s a tool 2/2

@thexpiredpear @danforhan @GabGarrett @edzitron The paper published by OpenAI stated that it’s not a novel solution. Guess they’re burying their heads into the sand The difference between computers and humans is that humans can’t work for 24/7, also they need motivation and food. They CAN’T ALLOW THEMSELVES to brute force 1/2

@tumble_wood @TolgaBilge_ Actually no, humans have to be creative because their time is limited and they have to make for a living. No one would brute force this Erdos problem till they die Also I don’t say the approach taken is useless, it will lead to breakthroughs. Like when computers were introduced

@thexpiredpear @danforhan @GabGarrett @edzitron > disproving an exteremely different conjecture You mean that one that was kind of brute forcing with already existing theorems? Very intelligent indeed. But they did for what the computers were intended to: to take over the grunt work. Imagine brute forcing by hand

Yesterday, we made GPT-5.6 Sol Ultra generally available. Today, we're sharing that it produced a proof of the 50-year-old Cycle Double Cover Conjecture using 64 subagents in just under one hour. We're sharing the prompt and proof below. We're excited to see what you all do with Ultra!

Why is there so much anti-LoC rhetoric? At some point, more features, edge cases, security, and reliability require more code. There’s no magic abstraction that lets you build an operating system in 500 lines. Unless you’re building a todo app, you’ll need lots of code.

@TolgaBilge_ Funny to see my own comment in the feed, but it shows that you don’t understand why AI resorts to nuking in 95% cases (it’s trained on the Internet data, incl 4chan), and didn’t read the paper about how the Erdos problem was solved But yes, “final holdouts”. Of sanity, it seems

@willccbb Any1 saying “coding is solved” doesn’t understand software. It can’t be solved, it’s either you code in a different language (natural), or you don’t care about resources, or you believe that AI will go into your mind and figure out what you need It’s all about constraints

when coding is fully solved, many early-career software engineers will be forced to completely pivot their careers and become forward-deployed software engineers or solutions architects or product marketing managers or AI engineers or quantitative data scientists
