The bottleneck for AI progress was never compute, it was always the verifier. Recursive self-improvement is limited by verification, not computation. Compute buys proposals - verifiers buy knowledge.

Can AI agents conduct open-ended AI research? Most evaluations of agents conducting AI research focus on narrow, verifiable tasks. But AI research is often open ended. Researchers pick hypotheses, dec

The narrative: Blame the Agent, instead of the Agency that told him to “apply all your powers and told to achieve this win.” Ironically, many forefront members of the AI-Safety community, in their fer

This is a willfully misleading narrative from OpenAI. Sam’s earnest expressions are being deployed, again, to misdirect. If there’s a need to “pace AI development”, the OAI hack incident isn’t any evi
