Let’s just remember that we don’t need to reinvent the wheel here. Independent assessment is common in other industries. We have defined independence before in similar contexts. We’re not flying blind. Quoting @deanwball you know what? it’s awesome that people are vigorously debating the credentials of assessors in the frontier AI industry. It’s awesome we are debating what independence really means. Some of it is in bad faith but who cares. This would have been my dream come true a year ago. Related

everyone should go read @dwarkesh_sp’s post - it does a great job of laying out the timeline and what we know ( and don’t know) I do have two issues with it A) the use of anthropomorphic language. These are not civilizations nor do they have desires just like a CPU thread or a bunch of programs don’t. this doesn’t mean we downplay the importance of this moment for cyber - but using human parallels for what I believe is code is dangerous territory. B) IMO it gets the impact of open source models wrong and is unreasonably dismissive for reasons that are not clear. As @ClementDelangue highlights… open source Related

Bluesky I agree with this take by @billgates.bsky.social, who also highlights several of the growing risks of AI systems, including cyber, bio and loss of control. We need to be far better prepared to address the risks of frontier models being developed by leading AI companies. English, from French Je suis d'accord avec ce point de vue de @billgates.bsky.social, qui souligne également plusieurs des risques croissants des systèmes d'IA, notamment cyber, bio et perte de contrôle. Nous devons être bien mieux préparés à faire face aux risques des modèles de pointe développés par les principales entreprises d'IA.

I thoroughly enjoyed going deep with @nxthompson on AI and the future of writing and creativity for The Most Interesting Thing in AI podcast. A few highlights: • How Nick and I have used @Gemini_Notebook to write our books • Why AI can lead to more serendipitous discovery in the research process (at least using Notebook’s citation-based approach) • The brilliance of the “explain” button in Notebook’s quiz feature • AI as the anti-social-media, with its gravitational pull towards mainstream consensus (citing @danwilliamsphil) • Why our attachment to the human voice of the writer is not going a… Quoting @nxthompson Few people have put more time into figuring out how creativity works than @stevenbjohnson.

tfw AWS posts something you recorded at AWS:reinvent EIGHT MONTHS AGO, with no indication that it was not recorded last week. It's not that I don't stand behind what I said....Or maybe it is? I don't remember what I said, it was eight months ago. Quoting @awscloud The real bottleneck was never writing code. It's releasing it, debugging it, & keeping it running well. So when @Honeycombio CTO Charity Majors set a productivity target, she didn't chase 10x. She chose 2x, & built from there. Related

Their words
General problem solving abilities are neither learned nor taught. While some problem-solving methods have broader applicability than others (such as the scientific process of hypothesis testing), students learn these methods better when they’re explicitly taught rather than simply giving students projects and hoping they’ll reinvent them on their own.

Founding member of OpenAI and former director of AI at Tesla; creator of nanoGPT and the term "vibe coding".
Fireside chat at Sequoia Ascent 2026 from a ~week ago. Some highlights: The first theme I tried to push on is that LLMs are about a lot more than just speeding up what existed before (e.g. coding). Three examples of new horizons: 1. menugen: an app that can be fully engulfed by LLMs, with no classical code needed: input an image, output an image and an LLM can natively do the thing. 2. install .md skills instead of install .sh scripts. Why create a complex Software 1.0 bash script for e.g. installing a piece of software if you can write the installation out in words and say "just show this to… Quoting @stephzhan @karpathy and I are back!

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
