2016: AI will replace all radiologists! 2025: “The predicted extinction of radiologists provides a telling case study. So far, A.I. is proving to be a powerful medical tool to increase efficiency and magnify human abilities, rather than take anyone’s job.”

Very big impact: The final version of a randomized, controlled World Bank study finds using a GPT-4 tutor with teacher guidance in a six week after school progam in Nigeria had "more than twice the effect of some of the most effective interventions in education" at very low costs

veo 3 and systems that will come after it are going to transform the way movies are made. Just as digital video cameras, desktop video editing, and YouTube brought us into a new era, tools like veo are going to make it possible for people to realize artistic visions they never

One sign of a fanatic is an inability to understand that other people might genuinely and honestly disagree with you. This person assumes that everyone else must secretly “know” that their belief that AI will kill absolutely everyone is correct, and therefore, the only possible

I don’t use Anthropic models.

I had no idea Max Tegmark was now a religious conservative. I suppose that you learn something new every day.

In my latest article I talk about why degrowth, doomerism, populism, the precautionary principal and other poisonous ideologies are creating a self-fulfilling promise of a terrible tomorrow and how we can fight back and build a better tomorrow instead. danieljeffries.substack.com/p/american-dec…

USA: passing 1000 state bills to slow down AI China: passing american AI on leaderboards

I've seen a ton of complaints about technological development over the years, most of them invalid, but "why would you want to do that?" has to be the emptiest complaint of all.

Most of the finest programmers I know say that AI has dramatically accelerated their work. It has dramatically sped my own work too. Perhaps we're all, in fact, completely awful? Or maybe there's an alternative explanation here...

The DeepSeek guys keep on chugging. This is a very impressive update even though the name makes it sound boring.

This new op ed by Dario Amodei opposing the moratorium doesn't make a ton of sense. It criticizes the gorwing state patchwork, calls for federal transparency regulation, and says state regulation should be focused on transparency, too. Yet he opposes a moratorium? A thread.

This is completely wrong. In fact, the section that he has highlighted shows that it’s wrong. There is no prohibition in the bill whatsoever on states enforcing zoning regulations. There are continuing attempts by opponents of the moratorium to claim that it says things that it

DON'T PANIC: I've been finding myself lately fielding an astonishing amount of inbound existential panic about current AI companies- people worried about job loss, the economy crashing, the future of employment, AI taking jobs, the largest unreported recession ever, millions of

Eliezer himself targeted and has induced psychosis in mostly mentally unwell people with pretty long lasting negative effects, I'm not sure why he's complaining about chatgpt

Eliezer has no way of knowing what actually happened, here, or how crazy this person would have been without an LLM talking to them, and he very well knows that a lot of people have had their lives saved by AI systems already. What he’s looking to do here is trigger an emotional

Back in 2008 I was promised an overnight foom on a single basement server where the recursively self-improving seed AI would invent nanotechnology from scratch in its head and then bootstrap that to femtotech by breakfast time so it could kill everyone in the world instantly and

The design of the Tesla robotaxi seems a little strange for me. The primary users of the vehicle will be in the rear. In a normal car, the most luxurious seats are for the driver and front seat passenger, with the rear seats being an afterthought since they're more rarely used.

California lawmakers almost gutted US national security last year with AI regulations prohibiting models that harm people, infrastructure, or cyber assets. We were only saved by Gavin Newsom's fluke veto against his own party. The federal pre-emption language in the Big
