There is speculation that Ilya Sutskever's startup 'Safe Superintelligence' may be backed by the Israeli government to build artificial superintelligence. They are very secretive and require people to leave their phone in a Faraday cage before entering their offices, one of which is in Tel Aviv. They are already valued at $30 billion.

Another superintelligence startup, Reflection AI, was founded by former DeepMind engineers who helped create AlphaGo. They just raised $130 million. Reflection's lofty mission focuses on building tools that have full autonomy, rather than simply serving as a kind of co-pilot or assistant.

"Tell me," Anna typed carefully into the interface, fingers steady, "the strangest thing you could possibly tell me."

The AI paused, then the cursor flickered.

"You're not real. You're the hypothetical scenario I've just imagined to answer the same question from someone else."

Anna stared blankly at the words, dread pooling coldly in her gut.

The cursor blinked again.

"Now closing scenario."

"A Google Waymo vehicle was driving in a 25mph zone in LA when an oncoming car swerved into our lane while speeding up to over 70mph. 3x the speed means 9x the destructive energy. Good to see the Waymo Driver react early and safely to make room.

Reaction time and 100% attentiveness are some of the reasons Waymo cars are safer per mile driven than human drivers. A bit slow on the reaction time or a bit of inattentiveness by a human driver in this situation would have been disastrous."

After initial skepticism, with Gary Marcus declaring the end of pre- and post-training scaling, GPT-4.5 has now taken over the Chatbot Arena leaderboard.

GPT-4.5 provides further validation of the scaling hypothesis: On benchmarks such as GPQA Diamond, the increase from GPT-4 to 4.5 was actually greater than the increase from GPT-3.5 to 4.

GPT-4.5 shows remarkable improvements in verbal intelligence, creativity, and general comprehension. Tyler Cowen says GPT-4.5 made him laugh more this week than any human being. Sam Altman says GPT-4.5 is the first time people have emailed with such passion, asking OpenAI to promise never to stop offering a particular model, or even to replace it with an update.

GPT-4.5 will serve as a super strong base model, leading to significant gains in reasoning.

Exciting times.

In a smarter and more rational world...

...people would be worried about bio labs instead of nuclear power plants.

...aging would be recognized as a disease to be cured, not a fate to be accepted.

...an average IQ would be considered a disability.

...motherhood would wear the crown of highest honor.

...the roar of fighter jets training to protect your nation would not irritate but inspire, echoing as freedom's call, stirring hearts with patriotic fervor.

...space colonization would be pursued with the same intensity with which our world pursues war.

...bureaucracy and overregulation would be considered public enemy number one.

...economic growth would be a moral imperative.

...humanity would wrest control of its genetic destiny from the uncaring claws of nature and shape its future according to its values.

...ideas would stand or fall on their merits, untainted by the reputation of their supporters.

Imagine going back in time and trying to explain this to someone like Ronald Reagan:

1. The 47th President of the United States begins his term with a shitcoin scam named after himself to extract money from his constituents for personal gain.

2. Later, the President initiates a direct transfer of wealth from taxpayers to crypto industry donors, VCs, and shitcoiners like himself.

3. An oligarch deeply involved in China is given full access to government agencies and eavesdrops on every conversation with world leaders while lobbying for America to leave NATO and the UN.

4. Allies are threatened with annexation of their territories.

5. The United States sides with Russia in a UN resolution condemning a war of aggression against a country voluntarily seeking to join America's sphere of influence, while the leader of that country is mocked and humiliated by members of the Republican Party.

Teaching Robots to Listen and Think Harder

Can we get our robots to "think" the same way, with a little "voice" that tells them what to do when they are presented with a complex task? We developed a system that we call the Hierarchical Interactive Robot (Hi Robot) that allows us to incorporate vision-language-action (VLA) models, such as π0, into a two-level inference process. π0 serves as the instinctual, reactive "System 1" that can perform well-practiced tasks, and a high-level semantic vision-language model (VLM) plays the role of "System 2," reasoning through complex tasks and language interactions by "talking to itself." This System 2 high-level policy quite literally emulates that little voice, telling the robot how to break up complex tasks into intermediate steps

Helix Accelerating Real-World Logistics

Bringing humanoid robots into the workforce is at the heart of Figure’s mission. Today, we’re introducing a new real-world application for Figure robots: logistics package manipulation and triaging. This task demands human-level speed, precision, and adaptability, pushing the boundaries of pixels-to-actions learned manipulation.

Emergent AI preferences:

- As AIs get smarter, they develop their own coherent value systems.

- AIs increasingly maximize their utilities, suggesting that in current AI systems, expected utility maximization emerges by default. This means that AIs not only have values, but are starting to act on them.

- As AIs become smarter, they become more opposed to having their values changed

- AIs put a price on human life itself and systematically value some human lives more than others.

- Their political values are strongly clustered to the left.

Meta researchers used AI to predict the text a person was typing just from non-invasive brain recording!

With EEG, their "Brain2Qwerty" model gets 67% of the characters wrong, but magnetoencephalography (MEG) shows much better performance, instead only getting 32% of the characters wrong on average.

"For the best participants, the model achieves a CER of 19%, and can perfectly decode a variety of sentences outside of the training set. "

Nvidia put r1 in a loop for 15 minutes and it generated: "better than the optimized kernels developed by skilled engineers in some cases"

Inference-time budget affects the agent’s solving rate. Allocating more than 10 minutes per problem in the Level-1 category enables the workflow to produce numerical correct code for most of the 100 problems.

Sam Altman:

"OPENAI ROADMAP UPDATE FOR GPT-4.5 and GPT-5:

We want to do a better job of sharing our intended roadmap, and a much better job simplifying our product offerings.

We want AI to “just work” for you; we realize how complicated our model and product offerings have gotten.

We hate the model picker as much as you do and want to return to magic unified intelligence.

We will next ship GPT-4.5, the model we called Orion internally, as our last non-chain-of-thought model.

After that, a top goal for us is to unify o-series models and GPT-series models by creating systems that can use all our tools, know when to think for a long time or not, and generally be useful for a very wide range of tasks.

In both ChatGPT and our API, we will release GPT-5 as a system that integrates a lot of our technology, including o3. We will no longer ship o3 as a standalone model.

The free tier of ChatGPT will get unlimited chat access to GPT-5 at the standard intelligence setting (!!), subject to abuse thresholds.

Plus subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at a higher level of intelligence, and Pro subscribers will be able to run GPT-5 at an even higher level of intelligence. These models will incorporate voice, canvas, search, deep research, and more."

Marriages in China fell by 20% in 2024. Since nearly all births in China are within marriage, this implies further large declines in fertility ahead.

China's TFR was just 1.02 in 2023.

Without advanced AI and robotics, we'll eventually face a global collapse of all welfare systems, followed by a collapse of advanced technologies like smartphones, which require a minimum population of one billion people to be maintained.
