Image prompt: Lower-East-Side street-corner photograph reminiscent of a late-80s album cover: weathered red-brick tenement with exterior fire-escapes, canvas awning shading racks of vintage clothes; above the awning, a hand-painted board reads ‘AGI SPORTSWEAR’; a hanging blade sign in cursive script reads ‘AGI Boutique’; a flickering neon sign announces ‘Future AGI Inside’ above the counter; warm golden-hour light, subtle 35mm film grain, muted yet punchy color palette, gritty NYC vibe.

@demishassabis Our ultimate vision for the @GeminiApp is to transform it into a universal AI assistant — an AI that’s personal, powerful and proactive and one of our key milestones on the road to artificial general intelligence (AGI). https://x.com/Google/status/1924882592236540085

Eric Schmidt on why AI is actually *underhyped* We dove into the big questions at TED — AGI, China, open source, and human agency. One of the rare leaders who can straddle the worlds of tech, policy, and Burning Man. Check out the full talk below 👇 https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1923085454397616533

This is the trend I see in thoughtful people using AI. Model ability is catching up to some of the promises made by AI labs in a way that is difficult to ignore (while still behind the biggest hype). We don’t know where it will end, but views need to be updated as tech improves.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1924480193298629015

I wish these skeptical AI articles would actually grapple with the growing body of research that AI can really do original research & perform key unstructured tasks across the spectrum of high-end white collar employment. AI criticism is important, but it should be clear-eyed.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1923417536072241529

How likely is an intelligence explosion as forecast in AI 2027? Algorithmic advances that could drive an intelligence explosion may be bottlenecked by compute, according to new research from @noshpesoj and @uchicagoxlab described in this week’s Gradient Update. Here’s why: https://x.com/EpochAIResearch/status/1923489932581945683

A week ago, Anthropic quietly weakened their ASL-3 security requirements. Yesterday, they announced ASL-3 protections. I appreciate the mitigations, but quietly lowering the bar at the last minute so you can meet requirements isn’t how safety policies are supposed to work. 🧵”” / X https://x.com/RyanPGreenblatt/status/1925992236648464774

Sam Altman: On that first day, when you’re just walking down the street and seven humanoid robots walk past you, it’s going to feel very sci-fi. And I don’t think that’s too far off from, like, a visceral, “oh, man, this is going to do a lot of things people used to do.” https://x.com/TheHumanoidHub/status/1924868956017590511

The most obvious, lowest risk way to use AI (and to get a sense of how good it is) is to ask it for second opinions in your area of expertise. This works across most fields. And I’d go further: increasingly, not using AI as a second opinion is going to lead to worse outcomes.”” / X https://x.com/emollick/status/1924152902907494870

Today Demis announced Deep Think which marks our progression to greater test-time compute and stronger reasoning capabilities in Gemini 💎 Highlighting USAMO which is a very challenging set of held-out math problems, we’re now at 49% accuracy.

Wolfram’s guess about why ChatGPT was suddenly so much more capable than expected is that, as the scale of the model increased, it found the hidden deep structural patterns of writing which is similar to the structure of human thought (“writing is thinking” is a common assertion) https://x.com/emollick/status/1923533622071480727
