I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

This site has been a joy this week: wiby.me. It's a search engine which skips the corporate web and just looks for the amateur / hobbyist web that's still out there but doesn't appear in popular search engine results. I've used the Surprise Me function to read about a random thing everyday
Wiby - Search Engine for the Classic Web
Wiby is a search engine for older style pages, lightweight and based on a subject of interest. Building a web more reminiscent of the early internet.

But that's precisely what rules are supposed to achieve - they are supposed to cut endless and repetitive deliberations as to 'what to do' short, because otherwise it would be impossible to have a dynamic social life with billions of interactions and/or transactions every day. /1

This article (linked further up in this vg thread) is well worth a read, but this bit stands out particularly. The companies pouring huge amounts of cash into AI infra only get to wash their face if we all pay much more for what they're selling ++

Just finished "The Collapse" about the precise events that led up to the opening of the Berlin Wall -- struggle within the Soviet Bloc and demonstrations in Saxony (most prominently Leipzig), bureaucratic miscommunication, and the chaotic and improbable events in the night itself.>

Staggering chart from the FT. Each of Alphabet, Amazon, Microsoft and Meta (MAMA!) are set to spend over $100bn annually on capex by 2030, more than all four combined in 2020. All because of the LLM-triggered AI boom...

Black and grey cover with the bright emerald silhouette of a long-haired Imperial assassin, jumping downwards, blade in hand. Very striking, brown and green cover, featuring a cream-coloured close-up of an Aeldari helm and blades.

My dad retired to rural SC to help take care of my grandmother. He’d visited and travelled there his whole life, he knew it like the back of his hand.

But since moving there he has come to hate it, hate the people, and refers to them as the “greediest piles of filth” he’s ever seen.
