OpenAI’s chief scientist: “The idea of racing forward at all costs seems absurd once one internalizes the seriousness of the stakes.” I wrote about the state of AI, why I’m concerned about the next fe

Pause OpenAI. They cannot be trusted. Each new revelation makes that clearer. I hadn't quite put together that OpenAI appears to have *known* about the wiki incident before the Hugging Face hack happe

Sad to see Jensen claim that AGI has arrived, with no evidence and no definitions. I would urge him to read http://agidefinition.AI by @hendrycks, @Yoshua_Bengio & many others (including myself), and

An effect of the rapid acceleration of AI is we are losing an empirical handle on what is happening in the actual micro-processes of work in the post-2026 long-running agentic era. We have some academ

Another neat one: I had GPT-6 Astra build a model of a famous never-built building, Boullée’s 1784 Centotaph. There were only a few black and white sketches to work with, along with a description. It

This is very similar to how we think about context management in Deep Agents: compaction should reduce what is sent to the model, not erase the underlying work history. In Deep Agents, the logic is: -
