AGI is an amorphous concept. If we want a non-arbitrary, rigorous benchmark for AI capability, we need to stop looking at AGI and start looking at recursive self-improvement. From a pure risk perspective, this should be our sole focus. #AI #AISafety #AGI

Military Spending as a Share of GDP, by Country The global #military burden increased from 2.3% of GDP in 2023 to 2.5% in 2024, reflecting escalating #geopolitical instability. Given the challenges we now collectively face, the resources we are wasting on this is utter madness.

With #Brazil, #Russia, #Canada, and #China controlling over a third of the world's #freshwater, these nations hold immense geopolitical leverage as #water scarcity intensifies globally. This control could become a massive bargaining chip in trade negotiations.
