Tired of the old version of Michelangelo's 'Creation of Man' just sitting there on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and not even moving or doing anything cool? Don't worry, its been updated while sta

A post by Ethan Mollick (@emollick) on X highlights an AI-generated video reimagining of William Blake's *The Ancient of Days* (1794) — a design originally published as the frontispiece to *Europe...

AI finally lets us see Raphael's The School of Athens the way Raphael obviously intended it, illustrating the delicate dance and subtle conflicts between Plato and Artistotle. (Seedance 2.0 is very fu

All is not lost. Duckerton is still possible. Here is Seedance 2.0 with the same prompt. Media My most popular Sora video was “an Elaborate regency romance where everyone is wearing a live duck for a

Our Lab just posted a new research report from Zimran Ahmed about how the game industry is adapting to AI. He spoke to people at 20 different studios and found a wide range of approaches to adapt (or

The pace at which useful things are shipping also seems to be accelerating. Model releases are coming faster, of course, but so are significant application and enterprise products (especially from Ant

Things that make the jagged intelligence of AI harder to deal with than the jaggedness of humans: 1) Weaknesses are not always intuitive or identifiable in advanced 2) All LLMs have similar weaknesses

After playing with it a bit, Meta's Muse Spark Thinking is fine so far, but really doesn't match the current Big Three models. It also is a bit... weird. Like some strange language & tone, a little lo

AI is jagged, but I think sometimes it is easy to overly focus on that. The generalness is a surprise too! LLMs may be optimized for verifiable fields like coding, but AI is also not bad at corporate

And all the evidence is is that is that models are getting better all this other stuff at the same time as they are improving in coding. More recent models are more creative, for example. Still plenty

Anyhow, its not bad. Just not the vibe level that the benchmarks might indicate. And, for a first re-entry into the frontier model space, given the engineering efficiencies they achieved, it feels lik

One fun thing about AI is that it lets you play with interfaces and approaches to displaying information in new ways without a lot of effort. I got a an internet connected e-ink display and set it up

So we now have a pretty good picture of the state of the frontier AI model makers. US closed source models continue to lead. Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic stand well ahead of the pack, and may have si

The US frontier labs have all walked away from open weights. They continue to occasionally release excellent open models (Gemma 4, etc), but they are smaller models that are not competitive with their

There are more competitive small model makers, but there is still a very big gap between what small models can do and what large models can accomplish (even if the small model benchmarks say otherwise

There are plenty of people who are awed by AI who are not coders, I think the argument that AI impresses programmers most is, in part, selection bias on X, which is heavy on coders and people making f

Curious how many large organization CISO offices have taken the Mythos red team reports as the red alert that it is. (I suspect very few) Based on historical trends in AI they have, at most, about six

Hallucinations remain in LLMs, but note that over centuries we have developed complicated, successful machines that take uncertain output from unreliable sources & reduce the risk of errors. We call t

I think the most obvious is that Meta has its own frontier model and can use that to extract additional value out of its customer base/explore new markets for its products. Very few companies can say

I think the story that was shared in the Mythos System Card still has the signs of flawed LLM writing (which looks like good writing at first glance): A story that doesn't really hold together logical

In different hands, Mythos would be an unprecedented cyberweapon I am not sure how we deal with this, except to note a narrow window where we know only 3 companies could be at this level of capability

It is easy to be fooled that there is meaning here, but that is because you are trained to provide the meaning. Think of the characters. Think of the emotional arc. Think of the unsaid stuff you need

Seems like a good model from Meta that is still trailing the current series of releases. The most important thing to note is that it is not open weights. That was the main reason that Meta's models we

Writing fiction seems to be a genuine weak spot for LLMs that is not improving as rapidly as almost every other area. There may be a lot of reasons why this is happening. It would be a really interest

I was told about the Mythos release, but didn't have access, so have no personal experience to add. Two points from brief: 1) It is not built for IT security, it is just a good enough model that it is
