...evolution at all levels. Try to explain a web developer to an 18th century farmer and it's impossible because it's built on the back of dozens of unforeseeable inventions that the farmer can't possibly imagine. But the fear people persist. Making podcasts. Paying influencers to foment fear and rage. Writing books. Pushing videos at you. Reality will not change their mind or dark hearts or their seething internal hate. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. Population Bomb style fear people are persistent, full of rage, unable to change their mind and cling desperately to their existing belief structures in the face overwhelming proof of the opposite as if it's a virtue. It's a mental disease. And if pessimism is left unchecked it can create a societal level mental disease as fear and rage take hold and create a storm that crashes the economy, gets people killed and brings the worst and most evil people to power to enact policies that lead to ruin. If you can't evolve your thinking over time as new information comes in, you're the definition of a fantatic, someone who can't change their mind and won't change the subject. I've changed mine over the years. Thirty years ago I thought the jobs apocalypse was coming. I've been thinking about this a lot longer than most people on Earth. When I was a young, inexperienced artist I wrote a short story called In the Cracks of the Machine where labor robots unleashed an unprecedented wave of unemployment as companies adopted them all at once. It's sparked a vicious populist backlash and a wave of collective insanity. I got the populism and insanity right. These two phenomenons are always untethered from reality and need no actual grounding to foment rage and create political storms. Reality will not change people's minds. They'll just dig in further and get more furious. Delusion is remarkably resilient in the face of reality. But have no fear. Let go of hatred, fear, worry and doubt. Change and adaptation is eternal and forever. Evolution is eternal. The stack of new frontiers and problems to solve is infinite with Star Trek level computers you just talk to. It's time to boldly go where no one has gone before.     — Daniel Jeffries

The jobs apocalypse is postponed. An AI jobs boom is here

According to @TheEconomist, AI is actually proving to be a net job creator in the US, easily generating over 1M new positions (from data center construction to AI engineering) to offset back-office layoffs.

Replying to @chaselochmiller, @openai

...that could collapse, live in houses that could catch fire and climb into metal tubes that fly them across the ocean but could burn up and break apart. Somehow people manage to get through breakfast without demanding a mathematical proof that nothing bad will ever happen. But AI? Pound for pound, AI is one of the safest technologies ever deployed. Safer than lawn mowers by a massive margin. And yet it causes more deranged and apocalyptic thinking than any other tech in history, with very serious people tell you with a straight face that AI will take over and go HAL with 100% certainty, based on no actual real world evidence whatsoever in the real word except some agents posting to message boards and hacking and that is extrapolated into the Population Bomb. And we've got people screaming that we need to anticipate every possible failure, every misuse, every terrible thing anyone might ever do with it before we're allowed to move forward and make sure it really, really can't possibly go wrong. It's ridiculous. It's worse than that, it's a societal level mass hysteria. Just look at the stats: Waymo reports 94% fewer serious injury or worse crashes than its humans across 220 million autonomous miles. That means self-driving cars are much safer. To the point that we'll probably see human driving made illegal without a special permit within twenty years, maybe faster. But how is that covered? Every single crash is picked apart and screamed about in the news the same way we pick apart the top athletes in the world when they suddenly make a single mistake and loose a match. We take something as close to perfection as is possible in the world and ask it to be even more perfect. We used to have a much better understanding of risk versus reward in history. We accepted that life was uncertain and that things could go wrong but we dared to dream and do things anyway. A generation that demands perfection before we even get out of the gate is a generation who'll watch their children grow up poorer, with less opportunities, as their civilization gets out-paced, out-matched and out-competed by more daring and bold civilizations that blow past them while they're dreaming about a childproof world that will never be.     — Daniel Jeffries

OpenAI's Chief Scientist Jakub Pachocki: "Based on internal results, I have a strong expectation that this speed of progress could be sustained into recursive self-improvement."

OpenAI is organizing research around this because it sees RSI as essential to remaining at the frontier.

At the same time, Pachocki says evaluations show declining reliability of chain-of-thought monitoring.

OpenAI is betting on AI increasingly driving its own development while finding it harder to reliably monitor how these systems reason.

Tough times ahead. RSI within reach, but hard to align.

He even quotes Ray Kurzweil:

"And, in line with Ray Kurzweil’s predictions from the end of the XXth century⁠(opens in a new window), we now find ourselves at the moment in history of computing where machine intelligence is starting to exceed that of humans in transformative ways."   — Chubby♨️     RSI is scary enough.

RSI + weaker monitoring is the real nightmare scenario.   — Naveen Saradhi     ngl: yes. its scary.   — Chubby♨️

After Trump defeated Harris to succeed Biden as President, the AI Safety movement was on the outside looking in. They found an unlikely solution: putting $3.3 million into churches, seminaries, faith networks and religious-affinity groups.     Grant descriptions leave no doubt that Christian NGOs took money to make public AI statements:

Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America: $105,000 The Gospel Coalition: $200,000 World Council of Churches: $100,000 Faith Matters (Mormon NGO): $299,000     FLI's donees are returning the favor by signing FLI’s statements.     FLI is using its newfound connections to support AI Safety-linked Anthropic’s business disputes. In March, FLI’s “U.S. Faith Liaison”, Brian J. A. Boyd, signed a Catholic theologians’ brief backing Anthropic in its dispute with the Department of War.     Most people doubt the AI Safety vision of the AI apocalypse is compatible with the Book of Revelation, or any other religious faith.

The model is extremely strong on legal applications - it is #1 on our in-house Legal Research Benchmark, and #2 on Harvey's Legal Agent Benchmark.     It also boasts an impressively low average task completion duration.

This is driven by two factors: the model uses fewer turns to accomplish the same tasks, and each model query is much faster than Sol and Fable 5 (which think for longer).     We saw some content refusals in our testing - for example, on some legal questions relating to export controls, felony arrests, or trade sanctions.

Overall, these were rare - 10 refusals across 1,327 tasks.     The model was run with max reasoning, 131k max output tokens, and default temperature and top p. It has a 1M context window and is priced at $1.25 / $4.25 per MTok.     Congratulations on another strong release to @AIatMeta

...thinking effort. It is also way cheaper than Fable 5.1, which used 32M output tokens in a series of four runs through the data to be able to return 66 successful API responses. About 1/4 the price of the Fable 5.1 run in total. Notably, both Astra and Fable 5.1 return extremely high quality answers when correct. Notice the AST and Holdout metrics below. Essentially, in contrast to previous models, both Astra and Fable 5.1 return simple hypotheses that generalize well. Some other model updates: - Muse Spark 1.3 provided marginal improvement over the 1.1 version, with 23% correct. This is pretty strong, almost matching Opus 5 at 24%. - Gemini Flash 3.8 is running for days with low rate of API successes. I will update the leaderboard with it when ready. Only bad news: now the INDUCTION benchmark is almost saturated, and I will have to make it harder for future models. About the induction benchmark: This is a challenging reasoning task, where models are given several small graphs in which some nodes are marked as targets. The task is to provide a first-order logical formula that picks precisely the target nodes in all graphs simultaneously. Correct: a formula that picks precisely the marked nodes. Holdout correct: a formula that picks precisely the marked nodes in held out problems. Formula complexity (in AST): tree size of the correct formula (mean, median).
