The concept of 'AGI' (a system that can match or exceed human performance across all tasks) shares all of the defects of the Turing Test. It defines 'intelligence' entirely in terms of human performance. 1/

So proud of the team at LevelAI

Sophisticated Silicon Valley VC investor in Palintir and SpaceX is stunned to find out that US intelligence agencies work clandestinely with foreign governments to gather information on our adversaries.

It’s finally happened. A peer-reviewed journal article with what appear to be nonsensical AI generated images. This is dangerous.

This chart should make you go insane. This is the number of high skilled workers that want to work here. There is a cap at 85,000 slots that will be filled. We are actively shooting our future selves in the foot.

Amazing that some leading experts can courteously debate some big ideas of today on this site. Good read.

It was just 1 year ago, when the whole world was talking about Web3, Crypto. My favorite line of collective wisdom was, 'All great developers are working on Crypto' 😅. Its amazing, now to see the fraud and collective amnesia.
