Image created with gemini-3.1-flash-image-preview with claude-opus-4.7. Image prompt: A symmetrical Byzantine gold-mosaic apse with a single centered iconic figure enthroned, flattened and frontal, holding a hammered-gold clockwork songbird and a spiraling gyre, its halo a concentric ring of fine circuit-tracery, flanked by stylized mosaic saints bearing small tools, burnished gold ground with Tyrian crimson and imperial purple robes, warm candlelit glow and tactile tesserae grain, with the bold Trajan-capital title ‘AGI’ in gold serif letters set cleanly across the lower third, 16:9 full-bleed.
Its funny how much the whole “”strawberry”” thing, which turned out to be o1-preview, was dismissed as overhyped at launch when it is clear in retrospect that it was way underhyped. A direct line from models unable to do basic math to solving unresolved math problems in 18 months.

A large portion of animal intelligence doesn’t require any learning, claims @karpathy: it’s baked into DNA. AI models, by contrast, start from random weights. They have to learn their intelligence, mostly by imitating the internet. This is so different that Andrej thinks it’s a

.@gwern almost thinks there’s no such thing as general intelligence. Humans and AIs just learn a large number of individual specialized tricks. In any given situation we’re doing search over special cases, nothing more. What matters is just the number of individual tricks that

Erdős problem #90 has been open for decades. Over the weekend a mathematician tested whether Claude Mythos could solve it. It did. But what caught my attention: Mythos didn’t replicate the known approach from OpenAI’s #1196 solution. It repeatedly settled on a different

I don’t think anyone has a good intuitive sense about what this means, and that failure of imagination is a generally bad thing for planning, investment, and policy. I also don’t have an easy solution (funnily enough, AIs are cliche at imagining the AI future, so no help there)
