Codex App's Dictation Dictionary was one of those lowkey QoL updates from @OpenAI that was just brilliant. 👏🏾

@morganlinton Was the first image the actual prompt, or just what Codex compressed?

So...with 10x Codex limits for the next month, may as well start some serious /goals in Codex.
An operating system seemed like a logical starting point.
Okay, off to bed. Something tells me Codex is going to be up all night with this one.
Might need to call it TibOS right? 👀

@elvissun Depends on the creative…but try @higgsfield_ai + Google Omni + HyperFrames.

what if (now hear me out) artificial intelligence driven by deep learning neural networks is the most transformative technology humans have ever invented and every industry will eventually be completely transformed by it?
what if this is all just the beginning?

@tunguz Remember when you had a certain number of minutes/data for phone plans? Good times.

It's high time that some of these top AI labs come up with a family plan. Or at least have an option for different users within the same plan.

@ajambrosino Stats on the profile page are not accurate @thsottiaux. e.g. I just had a task running for more than 9 hours yesterday, but it says the longest running task is 55mins.

If you ever get tired of managing your Codex threads, just let Codex manage itself! Codex can now create threads, search them, organize them, pin the important ones, and spin up worktrees for parallel tasks.

After AlphaGo, the skill of human Go players noticeably improved. I suspect we will see a similar pattern in math.

Another major problem, this time in additive combinatorics, has fallen, this time to humans rather than AI, but using methods related to the AI solution to the unit distance conjecture.

@tunguz Funny that we can now consider pulling off something like this and still not be completely convinced it deserves the AGI label.

Update #2: 18.04 -> 20.04 update finished with no issues. No problems with GUI this time around, as I had told Codex to fix all pending boot up issues. CUDA has been properly installed as well (!!!) and nvidis-smi is working.
I had the option to upgrade to 22.04 in the GUI, but opted not to pursue it, as I'd like to finish up this experiment completely within the confines of SSH remote logging in.

I am making Codex upgrade my very old System76 laptop running Ubuntu 16.04 with 1070 GPU. Codex is running on my Mac laptop and upgrading the Ubuntu one via terminal. If it pulls it off, I'll concede that we have AGI already.

Will explore this more…

My new piece: instead of banning AI in teaching, we need to create an army of citizens who've learned how to build their own personal evals measuring whether AI fits their values. A new kind of distributed system that holds AI accountable to each of us. This is what I've experimented with in the classroom @StanfordGSB this quarter. My students have gone from no experience with code to building their own evals for AI using Claude Code. Every student designed their evals, got results, and created a leaderboard in a single three-hour class session with no structure or help. These ranged from studying how AI handles Brazilian elections or Burmese translation to how it solves logic puzzles and the extent to which it sticks to consequentialist philosophical values. It is mindboggling what it's possible to do in the classroom with AI now. My argument: every new technology raises concerns about how to update the way we teach and learn. Old wisdom from Aristotle to Bacon to Tocqueville to Dewey argues that the best way to learn is by *doing*. AI gives us new ways to learn by doing, and we need to embrace these as part of our toolkit. By building evals, students don't just gain experience managing coding agents, which will be essential to their post-college lives. --They turn AI into an object of study rather than a tool that passively guides them. --They get to engage their curiosity and their personal interests. --They experience what it will be like to be a member of a new kind of democratic society in which helping to hold AI systems accountable will be key --They have fun! There's a lot of pessimism about AI and the teaching experience right now, but this experiment has given me some reasons for optimism. Check out all the projects the students came up with, and more about the experiment and my argument, in the post here: freesystems.substack.com/p/an-army-of-c…

How does 5 years of data sound? BMI and GLP-1 trends are now available on the Epic Research Data Tracker:

@tunguz Well all be looking back on this period as the good old days

Every hurdle AI removes, another real business gets born. We're heading toward a world where more people can self-actualize, not fewer.
Listen to this one.
