@EchoesofEmpire_ How did the camera stay so still? I thought these early photos need minutes of exposure time.

Monet painted The Magpie when he was 28. No one knew him.
He had just become a father and was living in extreme poverty.
He presented it at the Paris Salon and they laughed at him. They told him it was unfinished.

Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

The winter of late 1914/early 1915, and a candid shot of French soldiers eating their rations by a fire close to the Battle of the Marne. I have cleaned-up this fascinating Autochrome, which was taken in colour around 112 years ago by Jules Gervais-Courtellemont. It is particularly interesting as it shows the period of transition with the French uniform: from their traditional navy blue blazers & scarlet trousers, to their new cornflower blue coats. It was taken using an early colour glass-plate process and isn't colourised.

1. Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
2. Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
3. Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.

Since joining OpenAI the amount of congressional staffers that've (very kindly and politely) reached out abt careers in AI/tech from offices whose Reps/Senators rail against AI/tech/infra is...notable. Tbc, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that and I'm always happy to chat and help people connect with opportunities/networking etc. I didn't agree with the electeds I worked for on everything either, but the divisions there feel a lot wider than on most issues.

@CJHandmer Well, it would be improbable for them to have your best interests at heart…

In Google Earth you can use the time warp feature to see what's happening. Google has at least six full resolution images of Altadena since the fires 17 months ago, but their default map, as of yesterday, goes back to before any of these images. Why? Perhaps they're feeling nostalgic?

Same in Altadena. Why revert the imagery @googlemaps?

@ylecun @ziv_ravid What explains the gap between GPt 5.5 and Opus 4.6?
It seems like a trend towards improvement, at least not a random artifact.
English
@ziv_ravid Continuous, high-dimensional, noisy data.
LLMs totally suck at those.

I must admit that 1-2 years ago, I was sure that LLMs would be much better at predicting the future. It makes sense that if you can search and aggregate information from different sources, you can predict events. But so far, all the models have failed quite badly. I'm not sure what the missing parts are here. It might be a good memory system, but it might be something more fundamental, such as a missing internal world model. Anyway, very interesting problem to (try) to solve

new forecasting benchmark: FutureSim GPT-5.5 performs the best at 25%, but Mythos, Gemini 3.1 Pro and Opus 4.7 are not included. Based on their Brier Skill Score the models don't seem to be much better than just assigning equal probabilities to all outcomes
