"The next intelligence explosion will not be a single silicon brain, but a complex, combinatorial society." New paper from Google's Agüera y Arcas et al. argues the path forward isn't bigger models — it's social architectures. Agent societies with checks, balances, and institutional alignment. Could not agree more. I'm building multi-agent orchestration where a hub organizes a pool of specialist agents — and those agents must prove their worth through auditable results, not just claim competence. Accountability isn't just for humans. Paper: arxiv.org/abs/2603.20639

@isumitallup He would be very surprised indeed if I start a discussion about that 😂

@willm_2022 Let us know what they say

Talking to my neighbour about AI 😀

Not sure we need sentience for it even. Just a glitchy or hacked AI agent in control of a car is enough.

What a view! 🤩

I am secretly hoping Elon would call the first data-center in space "the Black Knight".

This Claude Code leak was helpful, to compare to my own agentic architecture. Nice leanings. Some of them a bit disappointing, some of them super interesting. If you haven't already, and are building agentic. Check it out!

Interesting. But I did not understand if you should now start saying "thank you" again.

Dear Flat Earthers,

Happened to me many times. Not that much lately though. And the projects I manage to vibe-code are getting more complicated. It depends a bit on how structured you are. Planning helps alot. Manage your context window as well. Make backups if you have something good. Keep an eye on files that become to big, and force them to be split. Lots of good things you can do, you will learn by doing. Also AI is getting smarter every so few months, so your vibe code nightmare now, is probably not looking the same as the one in 2 months. So there is no clear yes/no answer. But maybe this was helpful :)

Is this true ?

Now that Artemis II has launched we have 10 days to get everyone on Earth a Planet of the Apes costume so we can do something hilarious when the astronauts return 😁

Artemis II: Crew walkout.

#BREAKING 🚨: Today, humanity is returning to the Moon

TODAY. 🚀 ARTEMIS II. AROUND THE MOON FOR ALL HUMANITY.

@shanzson @AndrewYNg Maybe you are right. I don't claim to know everything. I do agree in broad terms. But I think also we need to balance our need for safety with keeping up with technical progress.

@willm_2022 @AndrewYNg China is not so foolish to build AI systems that go out of their control. Halting AI advancements in America does not mean halting making of AI systems that are safe by design.

The anti-AI coalition continues to maneuver to find arguments to slow down AI progress. If someone has a sincere concern about a specific effect of AI, for instance that it may lead to human extinction, I respect their intellectual honesty, even if I deeply disagree with their position. However, I am concerned about organizations that are surveying the public to find whatever messages will turn people against AI, and how the public reacts as these messages are spread by lobbyists or by politicians seeking to alarm constituents, companies pursuing regulatory capture or seeking to promote the power of their technology, and individuals seeking to gain attention or to profit by being provocative. A large study (link in original article below; h/t to the AI Panic blog) by a UK group tested different messages that are designed to raise alarm about AI. Their study found that saying AI will cause human extinction has largely failed. Doomsayers were pushing this argument a couple of years ago, and fortunately our community beat it back. But AI-enabled warfare and environmental concerns resonate better. We should be prepared for a flood of messages (which is already underway) arguing against AI on these grounds. Further, job loss and harm to children are messages that motivate people to act. To be clear, I find AI-enabled warfare alarming; we need to continue serious efforts to monitor and mitigate the environmental impact of AI; any job losses are tragic and hurt individuals and families; and as a father, I hold dearly the importance of every child’s welfare. Each of these topics deserves serious attention and treatment with the greatest of care. But when anti-AI propagandists take a one-sided view of complex issues to benefit their own organizations at the expense of the public at large — for instance, when big AI companies argue that AI is dangerous to block the free distribution of open source projects that compete with their offerings — then we all lose. For example, public perception of data centers’ environmental impact is already far worse than the reality — data centers are incredibly efficient for the work they do, and hampering their buildout will hurt rather than help the environment. While job loss is a real problem, the “AI washing” of layoffs — in which businesses that had over-hired during the pandemic blame AI for recent layoffs, although AI hasn’t yet affected their operations — has led to overblown fears about the impact of AI on employment. Unfortunately, this sort of propaganda easily leads to regulations that create worse outcomes for everyone. For example, oil companies worked for years to create fear of nuclear energy. The result is that overblown concerns about the safety of nuclear power plants has stifled nuclear power development, leading to millions of premature deaths from air pollution that was caused by other energy sources and a massive increase in CO2 emissions. Let’s make sure overblown concerns about AI do not lead to a similar fate for the many people that would benefit from faster AI development. Last week, the White House proposed a national legislative framework for AI. A key component is a federal preemption framework to prevent a patchwork of state regulations that hamper AI development. I support this. After failing to gain traction at the federal level, a lot of anti-AI propaganda has shifted to the state level. If just one of the 50 states passes a law that limits AI in an unproductive way, it could lead to stifling AI development across all the states and potentially across the globe. The White House proposal rightfully respects each state’s rights to control its own zoning, how it enforces general laws to protect consumers, and how it uses AI. But if a state were to pass laws that limit AI development, federal rules would preempt the state law. The White House proposal remains a proposal for now. However, if the U.S. Congress enacts it, it will clear the way for ongoing efforts to develop AI in beneficial ways. Where do we go from here? Let’s support limiting applications — those that use AI, and those that don’t — that harm people. When the anti-AI coalition argues against AI, in addition to considering the merits of the argument, I consider whether their position is consistent and persuasive, or if they are just promoting whatever concerns they think will sway the public at a given moment. And, let’s also keep using a scientific approach to weighing AI’s benefits against likely harms, so we don’t end up with overblown concerns that limit the benefits that AI can bring everyone.

Artemis II is on schedule for launch tomorrow at 6:24 p.m ET. We’re monitoring an extremely complex vehicle, but everything is lining up. The rocket is healthy, the spacecraft is ready, the crew is in position, and the weather is looking good. America is on track to return to the Moon.

@TheGeorgePu No, I posted about this just yesterday 😂

Is it just me?

ME: You gonna watch the Artemis II launch to the moon tomorrow? LITERALLY ANYONE ELSE: The what? 🚀🌕

@Bitcoin_Teddy And yeah, if the US messes up the orbit with it's 1000th Starlink (very cool btw) satelite, some one needs to start cleaning orbit. esa.int/Space_Safety/C…

@Bitcoin_Teddy It's very true. Although not the complete picture. Europe may not lead, but it's not as bad as this click-baity gif. A small example: #page=103" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">esamultimedia.esa.int/multimedia/pub…

If it wasn’t so sad, it would be quite funny

@Bitcoin_Teddy A bit more on that one esa.int/Science_Explor… This one I think is very cool.

@Bitcoin_Teddy Or maybe better example: esa.int/Science_Explor…
