The big question for the comments: Of the 10 traits, which do you think AI will master last — and does that one trait change everything? 👇

Plus 2 composite faculties that require several of those working together: → Problem solving → Social cognition These aren't arbitrary. They're grounded in how human cognition actually works.

AGI is the most consequential term in tech right now. It has no agreed definition. Google DeepMind just tried to fix that. Here's what they proposed — and why it matters for every leader. 🧵 singularityhub.com/2026/03/20/goo…

What's your read — honest disruption or convenient cover story?

Meta is the tell. Cutting up to 20% of staff. Committing $600B to AI infrastructure. Those employees aren't being replaced by AI — they're subsidizing their employer's bet on it. That's a fundamentally different story.

Wages in AI-exposed industries are rising nearly 2x faster than in industries AI hasn't touched. And workers with AI skills earn a ~56% wage premium. That's not a displacement story. That's a transformation story. So why are companies blaming AI? singularityhub.com/2026/03/19/tec…

Your Pokémon Go addiction just became a delivery infrastructure. 🍕 Niantic Spatial is using 30B crowdsourced images from players to help Coco Robotics navigate city streets with centimeter-level precision. technologyreview.com/2026/03/10/113…

Autonomous AI agents have an ethics problem: they can act, but they can't be held accountable. A bot can simulate regret, but it can’t own the consequences of a harmful action. singularityhub.com/2026/03/06/aut…

Researchers have successfully engineered brain cells (astrocytes) to hunt and devour toxic amyloid plaques using the same CAR technology used in cancer therapy. One shot, 50% plaque reduction. singularityhub.com/2026/03/13/the…

When the speed of a cyberattack exceeds the human ability to intervene, where do we place our trust in the digital ecosystem? singularityhub.com/2026/03/09/hac…

Autonomous mobility has reached a new milestone of scale. With operations now active in 10 cities and 450k+ weekly trips, we are moving from "if" to "how fast." techcrunch.com/2026/02/24/way…

Doom has a new player: 200,000 human neurons on a chip. Cortical Labs’ CL1 biocomputer has moved from Pong to 3D navigation, proving that living cells can master complex spatial environments in just a week. newscientist.com/article/251738…

The "download a car" fantasy just got a serious reality check. MIT researchers can now 3D print a functional electric motor in 3 hours for about 50 cents in materials. gizmodo.com/a-recent-3d-pr…

“Somebody breaking RSA would have big consequences, and it’s always much, much better to err on the side of this could very much happen sooner rather than later.” Lawrence Cohen, @IcebergQuantum. newscientist.com/article/251640…

Thousands of everyday drone pilots are creating a high-resolution, 3D map of Earth that surpasses the resolution of billion-dollar satellites. singularityhub.com/2026/03/05/tho…

And yet companies are still just throwing data into LLMs and taking the results as fact... 👀 singularityhub.com/2026/02/27/spa…

Scientists have created "HIT cells"—a next-gen immune therapy that can detect and destroy cancer cells with "vanishingly small" protein markers that current CAR T cells miss. singularityhub.com/2026/03/03/the…
