Interesting read. A related thought: I think a lot of the current value of AI is using them to build specialized tools to assist in solving problems that you have. The AI might not be able to solve it directly, but it might be able to build a tool that helps you solve it. time.com/7205359/why-...

What if they succeed in making an Artificial General Intelligence but it's really stupid and lazy

I wish people would post more links to interesting things

I feel like Twitter and LinkedIn and Instagram and TikTok have pushed a lot of people out of the habit of doing that, by penalizing shared links in the various "algorithms"

Bluesky doesn't have that misfeature, thankfully!

The future of AI is models that generate graphical interfaces. Instead of the linear, low-bandwidth metaphor of conversation, models will represent themselves to us as computers: rich visuals, direct manipulation, and instant feedback.

If AI development stopped this week we would have 5-10 years of absorbing the impact of current models on education, culture, healthcare, and business.

But this week has also suggested that development is not stopping.
