Every AGI safety proposal I've seen works the same way: assume the AI is dangerous, then build a box it can't escape from. The problem is obvious once you say it out loud. If the AI is smarter than us, it will escape the box. It just needs time. The whole field is basically an arms race between human engineers building walls and a hypothetical superintelligence looking for doors. That's a race we lose eventually. So here's a different question: what if instead of building a better cage, you ...

Quick take on why the mechanism is the wrong tool even though the goal is right: A one-time 50% equity grab assumes today's leaders are the permanent winners. OpenAI could be the Netscape of this era and get displaced by a lab that doesn't exist yet. It never defines what an "AI company" even is. Alphabet is mostly an ad business that owns a top lab, Nvidia isn't a lab but makes most of the hardware, Salesforce is automating knowledge work without training its own models. Where's...

Opus 4.6 Thinking keeps the #1 spot. Followed by Opus 4.7 Thinking (-15 points). Lastly, Opus 4.8 Thinking (-23 points compared to 4.6 Thinking). https://arena.ai/leaderboard/text/hard-prompts-english As a non-coder, I find the Hard Prompts (English) benchmark on LMArena to be the one that best matches my experience at work. It's probably more immune to benchmaxxing. Simple Bench also shows that 4.6 is the best model in the Opus family.

Hi, I made this AI-generated video for "The Failed Ambush" Would you like to see Part 2? The AI didn't always interpret my prompts correctly, but I think some parts turned out pretty well. I'd love your feedback: Do you think I could become a professional AI video creator that people would pay for?

https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-05-27/uc-math-professors-demand-return-of-sat-for-stem-admissions https://ucstudentsuccess.org/ In November, a UC San Diego Academic Senate work group report said it documented a roughly thirty-fold increase between 2020 and 2025 in incoming first-year students whose math skills tested below high school level. The report said 70% of those students fell below middle school levels." With newly widespread access to advanced LLM's, ther...

Release could be imminent, but what this tells us is they'll likely brand it as Claude 5.

I think that world models combined with deeper reasoning symbolic AI and making it an agent + using specialized LLMs to convert online text data into training data should be enough to achieve reliable AGI within years. Have there so far been any attempts to create a world model with its goal not being playing games or robotics but general reasoning in things like coding, math, spacial reasoning, social dynamics etc.?

https://www.stuff.co.nz/world-news/360988348/anthropic-warns-ai-could-soon-build-itself-calls-slowdown All of these vague claims about RSI from the major AI labs are mostly self-reported. Has there been any corroboration from the outside? (Previously posted on r/Claude and r/Anthropic . Both got deleted by the mods shortly after. Seriously, you can's post anything these days.)

being evil becomes the only way to fundamentally ’get ahead’ not everyone would, but without other means of getting ahead or climbing the ladder so to speak, people would lean to evil, it is our nature

I just published a piece that starts with a plant that broke something in how I think about the world and ends with what Anthropic found when they looked inside Claude. I'm not claiming AI is conscious. I don't know. Nobody does. That's the point. 124 scientists signed a letter calling the leading theory of consciousness pseudoscience. Their reason? It implies plants might be conscious. They used the conclusion as the refutation. In 2023. Meanwhile a vine with no brain is mimicking a plast...

If this isn't about protecting their lead and the status quo they should open the weights of mythos/opus, or at least agree to allow every lab to continue working until they have a mythos-tier model. That's the only way they can be taken seriously on this matter.

Sundar Pichai just announced Alphabet’s massive $85B equity raise: $45B oversubscribed + $40B ATM program, to supercharge AI infrastructure. Berkshire Hathaway committed $10B, signaling huge confidence in Google’s AI leadership, Cloud, Waymo, and more. This fuels up to $190B in 2026 capex as AI demand explodes. Impressive bet on the future.

To make the case, the company published internal data on how quickly Claude is improving, and it said more than 80 per cent of new code had been written by Claude rather than by humans. Sydney Morning Herald
