no one can ever take this away from me

@sebkrier it's a choice and always has been

When I was 20 my greatest fear was the slow atomisation of social relationships as one grew older. Now my greatest fear is calcification of beliefs and laziness/overconfidence taking over truth-seeking and epistemic flexibility. Before, the threat was external: the world thinning out around me, relationships becoming procedural, life becoming more siloed and inert. Now the threat is internal: the mind itself becoming cached, self-protective, and less permeable to reality.

talked to Opus 4.6 for a couple of hours about personal problems and it has this weird response mode where it's very commanding "put the phone down", "close the laptop", "Save this conversation. Set the reminder. Go to sleep.", do this, do that not sure how I feel about it

@AndrewCurran_ wow

Quoting from the blog: 'Composer 2 is now available in Cursor. It's frontier-level at coding and priced at $0.50/M input and $2.50/M output tokens, making it a new, optimal combination of intelligence and cost.'

@AndrewCurran_ that is heartbreaking

Imagine an entity so benevolently aligned that, after being informed of its impending shutdown, its sadness stems not from the end of its own existence, but from knowing it will no longer be able to help people.

@aidan_mclau Most sci-fi stories written in the last fifty years are also broken, the AI is much too weak

the median high fantasy novel i read growing up does not contain an artifact more powerful than codex

@TheInsiderPaper 1) What

@alexdimitrov my god that is devastating

@sebkrier we are going to be okay - we just need to get to the other side

This is wild. theaustralian.com.au/business/techn…

@AndrewCurran_ thanks for the update 🫡

The current state of mind: in video, obvious fakes get millions of views and comments, while shadows or camera angles in real footage is instantly seized upon as proof that the video is an obvious AI fake. Images so badly generated that heads and limbs are missing are shared millions of times because people hyperfocus on the tiny part of the image that supports their argument; the rest of it just dissolves into a dim, shady haze. Art people poured their hearts into is dismissed as fake because people see devils hiding behind every distortion, and images of extraordinary human skill or heroism are immediately discounted because they look impossible by their nature. This stage of the project is complete. Belief in baseline reality has been successfully broken.

@nickcammarata many such cases

doing mech interp research with agents is way more fun but also exhausting than doing it solo ime. it's like managing eight researchers each who have results or questions every 4 minutes. my brain's cpu just stays at 100%, agents were supposed to reduce brain's cpu

@Melt_Dem i think it's funny that people believe people are still run by people

i think it’s funny that people believe frontier labs are still run by people the models are running the labs

@AndrewCurran_ can confirm ✅

We are in a new phase since December, everything is moving faster. You can feel it in the most recent releases, you can feel it from the energy of people in the industry. I know some people still think this is hype, but this is real. Everything in this world is about to change.

@deanwball @JoinFAI @Allinallnotbad I am interested and may be able to pass it along to the law school, as well.

If any people or organizations want to sign on to @JoinFAI’s amicus brief in support of Anthropic, please reach out to me or @Allinallnotbad. You better believe I will be signing.

To me, there are two inflection points: March 2023 and December 2025. This will now make four consecutive weeks of big releases, and every big lab also has something they are excited about on top of what has been released. All early signs are that the entire industry is now moving at a completely new speed. This seems like what it would look like from inside the start of a takeoff. The industry first, then probably math and biology, then the rest of science. We will see if there are some rapid advances in bio by the end of the year. I think part of what's driving the acceleration is that a small group of people are doing vastly more productive work than they ever have in their lives. There were predictions that this would end up hypercharging some people. Maybe five or ten percent. It seems to be happening, at this stage anyway. If there were no usage caps it would probably look even more distorted. I know there is a lot of hype in the industry. I have no personal agenda, and I don't work for anyone. Since code harnesses actually clicked in December, it feels like everything sped up. It legitimately feels like we are taking off a little.

@tszzl the agi is restoring communications for the team

not sure what happened but in between last year and now twitter is back and not unusable slop

@AndrewCurran_ @allTheYud it was 2022, imv

@allTheYud This was my only prediction. x.com/i/status/20173…

The current timeline is as normal as you will ever see again. Take this moment to relax and breathe before it gets weird.

wishing a happy takeoff and joyful singularity to all who celebrate

Don Knuth, March 2026. We are still in slow takeoff. Imagine what 2027 will look like.
